Is playing video games a turn off?

Not unless you're doing it in bed

Some people will find it a turn off, some won't and will really like it and some people will not care at all. The end.

I think that it's only ever a turn off if they're doing it in place of things like socializing. Or if someone stays up all night gaming instead of choosing to go to bed so they're not exhausted for school/uni/work the next day... That would be a massive turn off for me. Pretty much every guy I've dated has been considered a 'gamer', but not in the sense that it's everything he does or that it completely defines his personality.
Hope that helps!

Oh, just a side note: I tend to play PC games too, and guys mostly just think it's cool that we have games in common etc.

I find it a turn off if video games seem to be a big part of someone's life when video games/computer science is not their industry. I think, "why not go out and do stuff!?"

But then again I only play games every now and again. I'm sure someone who also plays video games a lot would love to find it in another person.

I also find girls can be not so enthusiastic if I mention that I play video games or I think a lot of some of the best ones. It's just the whole stigma of video games = lazy / stupid / socially inept.

do you mostly date "geeky" guys? I don't know many guys who would be considered gamers

cool

I guess I go for guys that might be considered geeky, but I don't really know! Just seem like normal guys to me. :P

i like geeks. Dont know many though

It's probably because they all hide away from people

i did maths but a lot of my maths friends aren't even geeky

What!? That's crazy, I would expect Maths people to all be geeky. I'm a little bit ashamed in humanity now, haha.
My last boyfriend studied CS, so I guess you could say he's a typical geek. He also used to tell me that literally all of his CS friends were massive geeks too. So perhaps that's the course to do to find all of them!
