Women vs. Xbox and Playstation

[Lonestar Outlaw]

This thread was started because I know I'm not the only one whose wife or girlfriend nags because we all play Xbox or Playstation. For some reason women have a problem with this, and I myself only play a total of 4-5 hours a week. This thread is asking all guys how they deal with their significant other nagging at them while they are playing Xbox or Playstation. I can't wait to see all the different responses.

My gf lives with me, so I accommodate. I watch a few episodes of her favorite programs on Netflix, and she lets me on the PS3 afterwards with no complaints.

It's all about compromise when it comes to the woman you love.

My gf doesn't really like it at all, but I just make her watch my OD games :P

Dude said it best^^ Its all about compromise I'm 20 so I may be a little bit younger than you guys but If its a stay in night me and my GF will watch a few hours of Netflix or just a movie then she'll hang around and watch me play skyrim or something, just gotta meet her halfway.

You have to find common ground. I agree to only play when she is at work, she is a nurse who works night shift 3 days a week. I am able to play after the kids go to bed. I can get in a few games each week. I'm happy because I still get to play now and then, my wife is happy because I don't take away from family time when she is home.

You need to work something out with her. Have set times where you can play a few games while she does something she likes. It is like anything else in a relationship, you have to work together to create some common ground that she finds acceptable.

I just tell her to deal with it lol. I don't get much time in elsewhere and that's my happy place. It never nags, and most always satisfies me.

You just have a good one. Priority #1 when finding a gf has to be their gaming tolerance.

I recently found a keeper. My fiance lets me play Xbox without complaints. As mentioned, there are certainly compromises. Go shopping a couple times, watch ABC family every now and then, or even pretend that she is right every once in awhile.

In the end, if you find a girl that does not mind you gaming 5 days a week, marry her. That is my message on the subject.
