    Some of the advice here will give you lots of time to play games, because you will end up single. Never take relationship advice of a single person, they are single for a reason.

    Um or some of us have not found someone. The jump from "Never take relationship advice from a single person, they are single for a reason." makes you look like a prick.

    I know plenty of awesome guys, who would love to have someone. But don't due to the lack of interest in nice guys.

    example: I just finished courting a female I was invested in for about two months. I took her out on dates, we had a good time. We got along on several levels, same views on many things. Didn't work out. My games took a break because I wanted to make an effort. BUT it didn't work. Some times stuff just does not work. We are not "...Single for a reason.". You happen to be a prick for a good reason though.

    Good day sir! I SAID GOOD DAY!

    Life's hard in school kid. It gets easier.

    Also I am known to troll, quite a lot, so don't get too offended by my opinions.

    A lot of trolls are some of the best people I know. They tend to have a better understanding of people, using that knowledge to say just the right thing to insight rage. It serves it's own purpose in society too.

    If people paid attention, trolls teach people to not take everything so seriously. Some people are just always so angry about everything XD

    Plus I know for me, if I get the urge.. finding someone hot about something silly and just making a small comment that sends them into a tirade leads to much entertainment.

    This why we have videos of people raging at x-box live, breaking TVs because they lost a game, and other such things.
    And so did many brave men, women, and beast fall to the end of Beta, never to be heard from again. All that is left, is whispers of the adventures they had.

    That right there is what's wrong with them, they assume being a nice guy is what's keeping them single. They are using being nice as justification for their failure.

    You can be very sucessfull with women and be a nice guy, you just need a bit of confidence. You just have to try and stop that becoming arrogance.

    I was a nice guy, now I'm arrogant, I also don't care lol.

    Who said it was a failure? One can court a woman, not have it work out in a sexual relationship and still be successful. Also never said they used that as justification. Simply an observation, when you complement a female at my age and a simple "You have an amazing smile." turns into a "Wtf are you looking at me for?" attitude. You can go out on a limb that when the [snip] comes in, that's more than likely her mate.

    Example *I have a few of these*: My sister is an attractive young woman. I have set her up on dates with young men. Who were well off, and quite nice people. Great values, a good head on their shoulders. Where she said they were pretty nice, he treated me like a lady. He was respectful, paid for dinner. But two weeks later she is with the [snip]. Because he has "swag" and is cool! It shows just one more piece of women now *in my age group 21-25* don't enjoy nice men.

    Oh and just to share I'm 23. Very happy to be getting into the point in my life where a woman aged 25-35 just seems way more attractive because they value a man who would like to be just that. A man, not a "swagger" havin little boy.

    Complete useless waste of forums space and a tosh sarcastic topic, does it get closed by forum mods? Nope. Commented on and moved. Yet countless threads pointing out the utter crap state of the game and lack of useable mental facilities by the devs, are closed nonstop with mods commenting on them: this doesn't pertain to game discussion, closing thread.


    Knee deep in fail. GG on the topic that points out what an inept partner you are and how lucky we are to have you off the market, so we don't end up stuck with a hot pocket devouring pop swilling basement dweller :)

    Me thinks someone needs to get drunk, layed or both. Lighten up just a tad man, this is just a game. If it is dragging you down that much then I strongly recommend you move on. Life is way to short to go through it bitter.

    I'll be bringing my daughter up to go for geeks rather than jocks, if I can. Then I can scare the *** out of em lol.

    It is generally in the twenties that the roles of geeks and jocks change (which I'm guessing is about to benefit you) Jocks become bums, geeks get sucessfull.

    Geeks are generally nicer guys than jocks, but in school the jocks rule the roost, so girls go for the pricks to fit in. It takes years to break that conditioning.

    Money only leaves, when you spend it. So, if you have it, you have the right to choose what items in your life have the higher actual value and consist of a "Gain", and which items consist of a "Loss".

    If your wife/GF/Kids are expenditures, and provide no financial gain, they are by definition a deficit, or "Cost". If this "Cost" is not equal or more then the Intrinsic value their existence has on you, or is worth to you. Then this is considered a "Loss", and should probably be cut from your budget.

    Well, from the woman side of things, personally I've always had a thing for the geeks. With a husband and a job and the few real life friends I have I have barely enough time to play as it is. Fortunately I met my hubby through another online game and convinced him to play this with me so we are okay there. I have done the ***, the prick, the guys that prowl the lower dregs of society. The only reason I can put together in my head as to why I did that was because I had a fear of commitment and knew they were not worth it and would be easier to walk away from. Just my two cents on this thread.

    Well what I did was find one at my level that doesn't agro. Typically honesty and women mix just about as well as gasoline and fire, and they just blow up in your face, so I tested mine for flammability. Gaming, PC building, and being a effin' nerd is what I do, and my lady knew that from the moment we first started dating. Granted I also like hiking, white water rafting, and bouldering so I suppose she doesn't mind since I tend to get out and stretch my legs from time to time. From day one if I felt like staying in and gaming, I told her I felt like staying in and gaming. She passed the test. There's entirely too many women on this planet for me to waste my life living with a crappy one that nags.

    Advice? If she won't get off your back, just get a different one. 7 billion or so humans on the planet, roughly 4.5 billion are women, so why bother with one that's nagging? Life is to short for that bull ***. Kids are a different story, but mine is cool. We fist bump when I get kills and he's not even 2 yet. He's right on track to being a gamer like daddy.

    Neither really. The forums have been so full of bitching and moaning lately, that any light hearted distraction is nice.

    Also weather the topic started in jest or not doesnt really matter. It's a genuine concern for a lot of MMO players, balancing RL and gaming.

    Your approach is wrong, placate the whim and desires of your GF, do that bbq, that family visit, that shopping trip. But do them badly, prove that you are an embarrassment and a social liability that she dare not take you out anywhere. Condition you beloved, that your safest place for her, is you playing games.

    My dad told my wife he uses that trick, and now I can't use it.

    Meh, no one owes anything to anyone unless they have the bill to prove it =P

    Loyalty and devotion? Meh, humans are naturally extra-pair copulates, monogamy is a relatively modern invention. Moving on to another mate provides the opportunity for more genetic variation, and a future species with a broader gene pool. What about his obligation to the species to ensure more genetic variety? Awfully selfish to limit his genetic coupling to one set of genes when there's literally billions out there to choose from =P
