I cant frequent a single woman's group without them constantly talking about their scrotes

It depends if they're addicted to them. It would be comparible to people who watch Netflix all day. But this doesn't mean Netflix is bad nor videogames

What are the habits of a non-addicted gamer in your opinion? Playing daily? A few hours spread over the week? A few hours on the weekend with the occasional binge? etc. Would be helpful to for women who game or date gamers to establish for themselves.

While it could technically be called a hobby it's closer to entertainment/media consumption, as most hobbies are not really possible to get addicted to in the classical sense.

It's kind of like the equivalent of having shopping as a hobby which most men would only tolerate at best or call you a dumb bitch at worst lol... shopping every weekend of for hours online might give you momentary happiness but over the long term a lot of time and energy is divested from developing your knowledge, skills, social life and ofc finances so its a bit hard to respect as a frequent "hobby", which 'Im sure is what a lot of women feel intuitively when looking at a grown man merged with a seat all day playing games. Like could you imagine if someone did that with sudoku or soliraire? lmao.

I will say if you don't play video games it's going to be difficult to vet them. Video games are a very new entertainment art form and the products are mainly marketed for boys.

However I grew up in Asia and our culture regarding it is extremely different and we're more open. I grew up seeing older girls and women play online games with people and it's why games in Asia are cuter to cater to us.

In my opinion it's the same as people telling people to stay away from people who like anime because they think it's all just hentai. It can still be a red flag but I think stuff like emotional security or if he's a mommas boy is more important to focus on. The video game hobby can be an addiction to scrotes and an escape just as much as other moid hobbies like fishing.

Same for me. I don't even know why, probably because it has a manchild vibe to it. An adult playing games in a fantasy world? Is there nothing better to do for a grown up? I am aware I am judgmental and some female gamers here are probably going to feel stepped on their toes and I also know that there are more games than just WoW and Fortnite and whatnot, but that is what I associate gaming with.

I've also dated a gamer in the past and he fit the stereotype of the pale, thin, meek, passive, passive-aggressive and overall feminine (personality wise) gamer...it killed any and all sexual attraction for me and a gamer to me automatically is low value now (as a partner).

I also read a very good explanation on FDS once - gaming is usually a sign of depression and an escapism hobby because it gives you a quick dopamine release without actually having to do anything (kinda like porn). And of course, it can be just as addictive.

So yeah, if someone lists gaming as his hobby, I am not interested. I mean, they could use their urge to gamble and win at the stock market, at least that would make more sense than gaming...to me, it's always going to be a manchild hobby.

youll ask them what exactly is so special about their scrote and you get responses like "well he compliments me sometimes!". What a joke

"so what if he gave you this and that? why do you feel the need to tell everyone this info that no one asked about??"

Probably their boyfriends treat them like shit 99% of the time and then think the occasional gift makes up for it. The women fall for it and believe that everyone else will too.

I hear about so many women buying their boyfriends games consoles, expensive equipment, or even setting up a whole room for the guy to game in. And those guys never post it online. Likely don't even thank her properly in person!

I make all these points and contributions just to get hate on here at least respond with a single fact against what I've said because I'd really like to know why yall disagree

The scrote who is downvoting my posts is mad

I agree that we are socialized to be Pickmes, and it’s hard to overcome that conditioning.

The options are to call them out (as you suggested), or stay away from them because they’re bringing you down.

I usually try educating Pickmes for a while. If they just won’t acknowledge the reality of our misogynistic world, I move on. But I think every pickme deserves a chance to become enlightened. We sisters owe it to each other to try.
