I happend apon a post from a female player and it got me thinking due to my current situation. That is blowing off my Girl Friend in order to play more GW; even considering breaking up with her to do so.
I've come to the conclusion that I need a GF that plays GW and is understanding.
So if there are any GW playing ladies in the San Diego area drop me a line. I'm sure I'll be playing GW tonight!

><:. There are plenty of GW female players. Of course we'd just as fast blow you off to play GW for an hour instead of go out for a night. (^^.) Not to mention the...downcast looks you get anywhere the minute you say "Oh yeah, I play an online game!". It's not something many females advertise, making it just as hard for them to get a guy that plays. So good luck on finding someone.

Aku...you are one of many reasons why I think the human race is doomed. But hey, go ahead and leave your girl, your likely to be alone all your life anyway...in a dark room...lighted by the glow of a computer monitor and the new LED fans you got for your computer case. *Looks around* wait...something feels oddly familure about that statement. =P

I did forget to mention I do have a girlfriend. We do hang out everynow and then...and we do see each other. I'm gald she don't play GW, mostly because it would become a big problem in the relationship. For example, I would get something she wanted...and me being a dumbass guy would be like O.K. here ya go. Then if she got something I wanted she would just be like hey F U BUDDY. Lastly she could really screw my crap up when she got mad...and that would suck o.O''
Just another complication.

Right I'm evil... (at least thats what my ex wife told me)
I feel that the common bond created in GW would be the basis for a great relationship.
My future GW GF and I could sit side by side as we do FoW and UW runs.
I have a large home office equipped with 802.11g WiFi a broadband connection and several PC's accumulated over the years working in the IT industry.
This is funny no disrespect but I refuse to take relationship advice from folks who are younger that my oldest PC.
I do think I'm on to something here.
WTM GW GF!

My friend... it is the word UNDERSTANDING that is important, not GW. If you are with someone who can't stand that you do then THAT is a reason to ponder. Don't get me wrong... I dont say that women should all understand if we play 24/7 quite the contrary! I think the person who plays to an abusive level(you know...when your GF is jealous of the computer) should be understnading enough to see that there is a choice to be made right there.
If you are with someone who understand who you are but doesn't have the pleasure to be with you because you put a game in the relationship...you must decide what is the most important.. your partner in life or the game...and if it's the game let that person go free to find someone who will be there in the relationship.
I'm married, it's been 10 years now. My wife plays GW too and I can tell you...if it wasn't because we have jobs and kids we wouldn't be enjoying ourselves often. you should see the pile of dishes accumulating on the sink on weekends night.
May you find what or who (or both) makes you happy!
Fare thee well

I see it more as, you and your GW GF getting along for the first few weeks...THEN IT ALL GOES TO HELL! She hates and accuses you for takeing all the rare crap and leaving her with nothing, then she goes on by saying crap like "You don't love me do you!" or "If you loved me you would give me everything!" =D

I do agree what Lord_Vox says. I mean the real world you can't fix what you screw up. In a game world you can. I would rather have a better real life than a gaming life. Then again..I have no life...was it the chicken or the egg? Hmm..its a paradox.
Well anyway if you like your girl Aku you would stay with her. OK I am done here no more Dr. Phil

This thread is hilarious. This is exactly why most of my friends outside the gaming community aren't hardcore gamers. If I had a girlfriend that played GW and/or all of my friends did, I would, without a doubt, quit my job, move out of my nice high-rise condo into a crappy apartment, and be found dead in front of my computer within 2 years. That's just a cursory projection/estimate, mind you, but it would happen eventually.
Personally, I need someone to encourage me to make some kind of life for myself outside of my computers and books or something very bad might happen. Very very baaaaaad. ;-)

Hehe. Yup. I'm usually annoyed at first, and then I'm like, "Oh yeah. Real Life. Real Life can be pretty cool sometimes." The last time that really hit me hard I was standing in a garden near an ancient Shinto temple in the foothills near Kyoto listening to the drone of the cicaidas. I was like, "Ok...gotta get away from the computer more often..."

Well, the Frog in GW said that there would be a marriage option (or an option to add a family member or something) soon, so, maybe you'll get lucky there? :P

ROFLMAO personnaly I wont never try to get a GF who play mmorpg lol... cause I'm sure that her char gonna look sweeter then her and that's an evil thing that god can't accept... GW is a nice game yea but it most be take not too seriously... Just play it for fun but still get a social life, cuz one day when u'll reach 50 year and wont play video game anymore and gonna realiza that you have no wife no familly and no friend but a cave with a comp you'll be in a mess...
World of warcraft is a feeling who need a social life? World of Warcraft is real! [/CODE]
Stopped playing Guildwars when Anet ruined the two thing enjoyable in this game: pvp and economy.

At first I didn't know wether to take you seriously or not.
But you know what? Do what you want. Your life, your goals, choices, descisions. Just do what makes you happy, eh? Good luck on finding a partner. But I don't think Guild Wars is a great basis of a relationship. Is all fun and all, but how are you going to keep it up? Or are you just looking for a girlfriend in the time being while you are just trying to have fun and take the time not to be serious?
Love is not a game. But love can be through it. Er, however you want to look at it.

I do have a fairly active lifestyle outside of GW.
I just really love this game and I try to maintain a sane balance between gaming a real life.

I was at the gym last night working out on the "Cruel stair climber of fortitude" and I was thinking about this statement and I have a few questions.
What do you think the "profile" of a female gamer is?
Are there "Hot chicks" that play GW?
What is it that draws people to MMORPG?
and what kind of people play MMORPG?
Is it more important the she is good looking or that she plays GW and is understanding?

That question is far too general. But I can assure you, like usual, that stereotypes (manly girls, for exemple) are not as common as some may think.
Are there "Hot chicks" that play GW?
I have no idea of YOUR definition of \"hot\" but the number of female players is suprisingly high. Simple maths: the more females playing = more chances that there are \"hot chicks\" playing.
What is it that draws people to MMORPG?
Thr primary reason to commit seriously to a game is very often \"to get away from it all\". To MMORPG you just add a social dimension, you then have a parrallel life where problems are challenges not issues. Some are just not sociable and prefer to live in their cocoon and finally casual gamers who just like video games. (there are many more types but those are the commons)
and what kind of people play MMORPG?
Directly linked to the above.
Is it more important the she is good looking or that she plays GW and is understanding?
You said you try to maintain a balance between real life and game. Therefore the important is: She must be what you are looking for and accept what you do. Being a player or not is not even a real consideration in a relationship. Of course there are larger chances that she'll understand you playing if she does too..but being with someone who plays when you do too..this could lead to a ghost relationship unless you are on the same page schedule-wize.
|
GW tries to emulate real life bymean of balance. It would be quite low to comment on a game, being involved in it and not apply the same balance we want so bad to our own lives.
Balance is happiness

i know of a few people that started dating through guild wars and things seems fine for them :)
My bf and I play gw together alot and we don't argue about what he has or I have. We make fow runs and uw runs all the time with the rest of the guild and it's nice. I guess it's just understanding that it's a game and you play it to make money, to get good weapons or wtv.

LivingDeadGirl,
Do you find that playing GW with your BF is strengthening your relationship?
When you play do you play in the same physical location ( at each others place) or do you only play online while being in separate physical locations?

we live together, and im surprised it's working fine cuz he bitch alot when things go wrong lol
when we first go to knew each other, we used to talk about games alot so if it has strenghtening our relationship, we've already have a strong relation :)
We've played game together before tho, like neverwinter nights, age of empire, warcraft and he's planing on teaching me how to play quake wihtout dying every 2 seconds lol
We have our own account for each game we play that way nothing can happen.
