[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your question is "should I date someone who stridently opposes X activity?" and that activity is important to you, the answer is probably "no" unless the person you'd date wouldn't begrudge you your activity.

It's OK -- preferable even -- for a couple of have individual interests.

But if video games are so important to you that they take a seat at center stage in your life, I think most women will find that a turnoff. [/quote]

+1  I've never been interested in videogames while my DH plays them but not to excess IMO.  Often in the evenings we'll spend some time together and then he'll play his game while I read (he doesn't read, but does listen to a lot of audio books).  He has a couple times over the years become too absorbed (in his opinion) in a PC game and decided to uninstall it.  We didn't have a gaming system until our son asked for one.  Now gaming is something he and DS do together.  So, OP, if you can find a partner who respects your need for game time while you keep it as a balanced part of your life you may find yourself creating your own gaming partner :)

While it is more common for 20-30s women to play videogames than it was in previous generations (I'm 46) they still skew much more male.  The are designed for and marketed to young men.  We've had a game system in our house since my DD was in preschool and purchased games we thought she might enjoy but she really is not interested, with the exception of Minecraft. And even that is just an occasional interest.
