I'm a big gamer myself, have been since I was little. But even I know I have responsibilities as an adult. If I lost my job, I'd do what I can to get another one... so I can afford my stuff for gaming. Plus me being prideful, I wouldnt mooch off some one if I had a relationship.

But there is something I would like to state. Not all big gamers are addicts. Hell, in this day and age it can be your job via livestreaming, videos, or professional competitions.

Anyways for me personally gaming is my passion in life. Believe it or not, they are the reason I'm actually alive right now. I've dealt with alot of crap...

In terms of finding a girlfriend/wife/mate/partner etc, unless they are a gamer themselves I would find it quite hard to imagine that it would work out. Don't get me wrong.. I wouldnt be the type of spending like 10-30 min a day or "I see you everyday or I just saw you Saturday" type of guy. I would definitely set aside time for the relationship. Ideally it would be also great to game together. But if I ever get some one that expects me to focus on just them and/or attempts to make me cut out completely(Like pulls the it's either me or this). Trust me, no need to make the "hard decision" of dumping. I'll gladly do that for you.

Okay, rant complete. LOL
