If you guys like zombie games play The Last of Us it is a better written story than most movies these days.

I've even had a few of them tell me that because I'm into gaming, scary movies and rap, that I'll never find a guy who will date me because they say that most guys would rather date a feminine "girly girl" than someone like me.

 

I think it's generally a good idea to not put too much stock in what other people tell you you 'should' or 'should not' be to attract the opposite sex. Just be yourself - the best version of yourself, sure, but that does not mean changing your hobbies just to suit what your friends think you should do.

 

Have you ever actually had a guy lose interest in you when you told him about your hobbies?

Those first 15 minutes? Tear-jerker!!

 

OP - I'm a female gamer and I've never personally met a guy who had a negative opinion about it. They either thought it was cool or just didn't care either way.

I LOVE The Last of Us!!!! But omg......the beginning of it was SO sad!!!:( I couldn't believe that they made Sarah DIE! This is the first zombie horror game that has ever made me cry! And I just love Ellie!!! She is such a tough little girl! I have to admit, she's way tougher than I think I'd be in that apocalypse!!! I love how Joel protects Ellie as if she's his daughter...and there are even moments when I look at Ellie and she reminds me of Sarah.:(

I managed to get my wife hooked on GTA V. What more can a gut ask for. I have a beautiful, intelligent, and loyal woman with a heart of gold who likes GTA. I won the love lottery.

Amazing Game.

 

I played it back when I had my Xbox 360. Sold it along with the console when I got the Xbox One, and have yet to buy GTA V again, but seeing the remastered videos now and then makes me want to pick it up again.

 

Was GOTY for me, in 2013.

I am one of the few people who actually likes IV a little bit more because it has such a dark and gritty crime epic kind of feel but V is still a great game. There has never been a bad GTA. Red Dead Redemption is another great game by the same developer.

Yes, you did win the love lottery!! Hopefully, the same will happen for me!:cool:

 

 

Phoe, I've seen GTA V videos and I think it's crazy some of the things you can do on there!:laugh:

 

KatZee, it's awesome to see a fellow girl gamer on my thread! And yes, I feel the same way you do about the "tomboy" term. But I think maybe he didn't mean it in the way that we think about it as being, y'know?! Because even though you and I do some things that most guys do, we still wear makeup, get our nails done and are still feminine.

 

When you said that you do paintball zombie hunts, I was like, okay....this girl is COOL!!!:cool:

Sometimes, I think that I may be a little too "unique" lol. But, I can only be me; and I won't change who I am for anyone.:cool: So...what do the guys on here think about dating a girl who doesn't fit the typical mold of what most girls are? (I welcome opinions from other girls too!)

.

 

I think the worlds a big place with a lot of different people in it.

 

Personally, I dig the exotic. I really enjoy the company of the unique.

So to answer your question, I don't think it's a big issue for the right guy.

 

I'd take you on a date in a heart beat, but I suspect I'd be too mainstream for you ;)

Yes, the world IS a big place! Which gives me hope (along with your positive response) that I'll find a guy who won't be put off because of the main things I'm into. When I was on one particular OLD a month ago, I actually had a guy message me about my profile and he said, "Video games and rap music is for teenagers...people your age should be more mature..." Needless to say, I never replied to his response. I wasn't his cup of tea and omg he certainly wasn't mine. ;)

 

I know that this was HIS opinion only and that not all guys think that way, but, I found that on most OLD sites, guys in my age bracket do feel and think that way! I mean, I could've just had a string of bad luck, who knows. The guys who thought it was cool that I was into gaming & hip-hop (and scary movies) had other traits about them that didn't fit into what I'm looking for in a guy, so those didn't pan out.

 

 

What is it about yourself that you consider "mainstream"? As long as you didn't diss the other person for their interests, that doesn't mean that the things you're into are an automatic no-go!

I realize that I'm probably not that unique with regard to the stuff that I'm into. But, I notice that there's not that many girls within my social circle that like the specific things that I do. It seems that the guys that I meet are interested in or at least are inquisitive about the things that I'm into.

 

I guess what I'm curious about is, would most guys rather date a girl who was more um "mainstream"? For example, girls who mostly like pop music, girls who wouldn't dare play any military first person shooter games, girls who don't have any piercings, girls who like rom coms instead of scary movies and girls whose makeup is always perfect?:confused: Or are most guys open-minded to dating girls who don't fit into the stereotypical "girly girl" mold?

So, if you met a woman who was NOT a mainstream "girly girl" type, you would disregard her and continue with your search?

Shout out to a fellow gamer.:cool: We are a breed that will soon take over the world!!!:D

Well, that's YOUR opinion and you're welcome to it. But, I love to dance to Nicki Minaj, Jessie J and Drake. It's one of MY preferences of the type of music I like to groove to. After I listen to hip-hop, it does NOT "encourage" me to go out and rob a bank or to car jack someone.

all right not all hip hop but hip hop started the don't snitch campaign which is a major contributor to letting murderers and gang bangers stay out of jail.

I LOVE The Last of Us!!!!

 

Any game Naughty Dog makes is beloved by gamers. Before The Last Of Us it was Uncharted, before Uncharted it was Jak & Daxter and before Jak & Daxter it was Crash Bandicoot. Sony was clever to buy them up because that team makes pure gaming gold.

At 44, I don't play many video games,unless it's with my kids. I really don't have time and I'd rather be outside doing something. But, there's nothing wrong with you doing your own thing. Having different hobbies is a good thing,as you don't spend ALL of your time up each others butts.

 

Sitting down and watching a horror movie would be a good thing for most guys. We like gore and blood.

 

Hip hop for me is a no-go, but it doesn't me that you shouldn't listen to it. That's what earbuds are for.

 

That said, I've found that I can look past a lot of things if the woman is wearing yoga pants.

OP, I noticed in your first post you grouped together things that I wouldn't normally associate together: Gaming girls, piercings, less than perfect make-up, etc. vs. girly-girls, pop music etc.

 

Sometimes I see people on the street that seem to have gathered all the necessary accoutrements for a particular type, a particular personality. What I always wonder is I'm sure there's something about that person that doesn't fit perfectly the image they're projecting.

 

Lao Tzu, the Chinese philosopher wrote, If I let go of who I am, I become what I might be.

 

I think very often people begin to like something which speaks to them personally. Then, to feel like they belong, to feel acceptance, they begin to acquire all of the material and essential accoutrements of the social subset who most strongly identifies with that something. Is this really who they are? Most likely not. But they feel compelled to go with the flow, for the sake of social integration.

 

My advice would be to like what you like and ornate yourself always with things that speak to you personally. Don't worry about what people around you like.

Hm. I don't mind those three at all.

 

Like someone said earlier, other factors come into play like personality and such.

 

For me anyway, personality is one of the biggest ways I determine if we're better of friends or if I'm going to bang you into next week.

 

Either way, I love horror movies, so you're definitely on the right path:cool:

Crash Bandicoot! Haven't played that in a coon's age! Yeah...Naughty Dog is THE f@ing $hit. Can't wait to see what their next game is going to be!:eek::cool:

Thanks Sycamore, reading your post along with a few others that are along this same vein was something that was good for me to read - and to let it sink in. That's how I think of myself sometimes; like I'm a weird combination of all these different interests that do and don't define my personality and the kind of person that I am inside...it's kind of hard to explain.

Hip hop for me is a no-go, but it doesn't me that you shouldn't listen to it. That's what earbuds are for.

 

That said, I've found that I can look past a lot of things if the woman is wearing yoga pants.

 

Well, I like doing things outside too, like being at the beach, fishing, playing paintball or just throwing a frisbee around. However, the most fun I have and what really gets my adrenaline pumping on all cylinders is gaming! I see where you're coming from though. Yes, when each person has their own interests that may be completely different from their partner's, it means they can spend some time apart without being up each other's butts (lol).

 

I like horror movies for the creep factor and the awesome jump scares! Blood and gore is cool too, especially when it has to do with zombies (like The Walking Dead or anything made by George A. Romero)!

 

Um....yoga pants? What's up with that?!:p

Well, I'm 36 and I've been a gamer for basically all my life. I grew up playing every kind of console and game, from Atari to Arcades. Currently in beta testing "Heroes of the Storm" from Blizzard Entertainment. Gaming is a real passion for me, so that at least we'd have in common ;)

 

That said, I'm not really into horror. I'm strongly empathetic, so I find it difficult to regulate my emotional response to what I'm seeing on screen. I don't enjoy the sensation of feeling afraid *shrug*.

 

I've been paintballing in the past, but it's hard to find a group to go with these days. Basically, it's all movies, board games, occasional bar and coffee trips for me these days ;)

 

The hip-hop thing is isn't a big deal. It's just another style of music. I tend to like songs rather than specific artists. So long as the music is blaring at 3am in the morning, I'm cool ;)

 

Still, I stand by my original statement. You're attractive and interesting. I'm surprised you'd be concerned about attracting male attention.

Yeah, horror movies are awesome! Movies about aliens, vamps and other supernatural stuff also ranks high on my movie creep-o-meter.:cool:

A unicorn? hehe...that made me smile.:p Well, but you'd be surprised how many guys I've talked to (and dated) that thought I was more of a "missing link" than a "unicorn" lol with regard to the stuff I'm into. Some of them were actually turned off by the fact that I love gaming and scary movies! I know not all guys think that way, but still...when you're on the receiving end of a guy who looks at you as though you have a horn growing out of your forehead when you start talking about Valve, Naughty Dog and Treyarch, well...it's kind of discouraging!:rolleyes:
