Are young Men really choosing games over relationships ?

[Juanto]

What I would say first of all is that this guy, better bachelor, is one of those negative mgtows that makes a living out of complaining about anything and everything. Not my cup
Of tea

It's not surprising young dudes are turning away from chicks.

But it's worth noting that in other eras, these young dudes would be clearing wilderness, building their own houses, creating art, writing literature, learning to play guitar.

And now, they're playing video games.

So I think it goes both ways. Can't blame the dudes, but on the other hand you can only blame the chicks so much

I spend most of my time gaming ngl but the issue is I’m an introvert and can’t stand socializing. I’ve looked for gamer girls but haven’t found any yet. Also, after sex, my body needs to recover so it’s not like I can devote days to having sex anyways. My main hobby is investing and that doesn’t take long you just start up the app, make a trade or close it without doing anything. I have too much free time because I’m very efficient so I play games

You can always try local video game conventions or meetup groups focused on gaming, your competition is virtually non existent so it would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

You think so? I mean I don’t think chads would care if a girl is a gamer or not, so in my mind I still competing with chads. A hot girl is a hot girl regardless, no?

Chads don't go to gaming meetups or gaming conventions, so you would be in an environment with little competition. Of course OLD would be a different story, a lot of these girls are introverts so they won't get approached irl since they don't go out.

Yeah but these girls don’t live at the convention. She’s out in the world and so a chad can see her and approach or maybe her friends know a chad. I just don’t think a gamer girl who is hot will have any less chads than a hot girl who isn’t

The problem is many guys neglect everything else in their free time and only play video games. Balance is key, these guys also should find gamer girls so they have the best of both worlds.

I also love gaming but i still make time for gym 5 times a week and socialising/dating.

If you do spend a lot of time gaming, might as well put it on twitch to stream so you can monetise your hobby.

Yeah I meann
tbh man, you can meet women anywhere , even a introvert can get some , it’s not as hard as some may think.
you made a great point , play your games all you want
But get tf out of that house from time to time
You can meet a woman at the park , at the gas station, in your neighborhood , anywhere.
clothes ,teeth ,body and smell should be on lock.
The rest is just practice talking to them and not being too nervous

Yeah most women are trash so imagine dating one. GAME isn't going to save you from a toxic relationship, kids with a crazy bvtch, and a judge fvcking you in divorce court. Most dates are stupid and a waste of time, you're better off praying for lucky one-night stands at this point.

 

[metalwater]

guess it comes back to the 80/20 thing most of the time. women are being more selective as to who they sleep with in general, over value themselves as a result of one night stands, tinder hookups with 'chads'.

video games give instant dopamine hit, no agg, no rejection etc so can believe its true. they are immersive,fun, addictive. certain games can swallow up a lot of your time.

The question has been asked:

Is this a result of Generation Z men not wanting to date, or young men in general being passed over for more successful and older male options for women?

When was the last time you read anything positive about “young men”?

Miss me with that BS. I manage a team of guys in their mid to late 20s and it’s mostly the single guys that show up on time, go the extra mile and work hard. Sure, they play video games and follow sports every so often. But they don’t slack on the job, call in sick or come to me with excuses nearly as often as the few guys in relationships.

 

[bat soup]

Some video games are a lot of fun and most women are not. So its understandable.

I don't even remember hearing anything positive about men in general in a long time.

Here's a topic I can contribute on. I don't have any proper friends in the city where I live, none.
One or two people who I'd call acquaintances but I wouldn't sit down with them and tell them
anything about my insecurities or problems so I'm pretty much alone in the world. My job means
I can't have a dog which I'd absolutely love to have as I find time with dogs the most relaxing and
rewarding time I spend doing anything. They love unconditionally and know the true meaning of
loyalty. Most days I call or facetime my mother who lives 150 miles from me, she and I just chat about
the weather and what my sister is doing and other run of the mill family stuff, otherwise I'd not really
talk to anyone. My ex wife to be lives about 10 minutes from me, I still have business to attend to
with her so I go over there about once a month, but mainly to visit the dog we had who she kept.
At work I chat politely with a few colleagues when the circumstances dictate but have no relationship
there that is of any significance outside of work. I visit my pals bar every so often where I stand alone
in the corner for a few hours watching the world go by and that's it, my whole social circle.

In my home town I had a small group of mates but as life has a habit of doing, they have all spread out to
different parts of the country and being honest I don't speak to quite a few of them anymore as I found
them to be far from supportive when I was going through the first throes of my breakup with my wife.
These were people some of whom I've known for over 30 years and now they are blocked on my phone,
three of them I was best man for and one was my best man, to give you some idea of how close we were.

The remainder of them are too far away for me to see them more than about once a year but we do speak
regularly whilst playing Grand Theft Auto. It's a funny game and we often end up laughing our arses off
at the fails and oddities that often occur while we are playing. The others all have girlfriends or are in LTRs.
I'm the only single one in the group. For me playing video games is more of a social thing than a solitary
one and I don't really play unless I know one of my mates is online, the PS app tells me when they switch on
that so that's helpful. Sometimes we voice chat while we are individually playing different games. But the most
fun is when we are doing something cooperative on GTA, like a heist or a shootout. I love having a playstation,
I have one of each generation but have gotten the most enjoyment out of the ps4 and 5 mainly due to playing
with friends where distance is an issue. If that makes me a saddo, then so be it. I've just spent a small fortune on a
movie replica Joker costume from "The Dark Knight" for Halloween and I'm seriously considering going to a
Comicon in Wales in November wearing it. I don't care if anyone thinks that makes me a nerd, I've always
wondered what one of those events is like and now I'm free and single with plenty of disposable income,
I'm going to give it a try. It's no wonder people are into gaming and sci-fi. The real world sucks quite a bit.

careful with online stuff, it can be a bit OTT,

young lads are still thirsty AF out here,

much like women dont get pregnant by alpha males, as the internet would suggest.

Young men are choosing games over girls kind of like poor people choose poverty over money.

Poor people don't choose poverty, but some people do choose to earn less and have a better quality of life.

If you get given money for nothing, great. But if you have to work 12 hour days to cover your expenses, it might be worth considering doing things differently.

Likewise if sex was easy for men to get then this site wouldn't even exist. A certain about of time and effort is required and it's valid for men to consider how and where they want to spend their energy.

If sex was easy, men would literally just eat sleep and have sex all day. There would be no reason for us to bother working.

How do you know that?

Actually I don't think most men can do more than 2 women per day. Maybe some days, but not every day.

You know how you feel after you have sex and sometimes wonder "was it worth all the time and effort?". You'd feel like that most of the time.
