Being a gamer isn't a counterculture activity, being a revolutionary is. I have gamed since I was 12, I turn 34 tomorrow, and having dated several women of several nationalities, I have never even entertained the idea of sharing an interest in gaming. The off times I game, my girlfriend does her thing, she does not 'put on a face' or 'pretend to be interested' and I wouldn't want her to. We do share a few hobbies, but not all. Like others have said, which I stated earlier, sharing a hobby is a lame way to look for a mate. Others just have said it more eloquently. A lot of people play golf and their significant others don't, why is gaming so special? It isn't. My group is pretty much the same, everyone either has a wife or girlfriend, none of us have a gamer significant other, yet, and here is the amazing part, we all seem to get along with our better halves!hellbender</blockquote>
