Why a Gamer makes the Best Boyfriend

Tenacious. Strong-willed. Conscientious.

All are admirable traits when used to

describe, well, any man. But they especially

apply to a specific category of true hopeless

romantics: the Gamer.

Times of the past may have portrayed your

average video gaming enthusiast as lazy,

uncool, or unmotivated. But modern times

call for modern lessons, and an updated

model of boyfriend material is now readily

available.

Sit back and consider this, we as Americans

value a decent dose of motivational

inspiration in our every day lives, and the

men in front of the screen are offering to

match that energy. Loss after loss, most

gamers persist in their quest to either finish

a campaign solo style, or win rounds with

their friends for hours on end in an effort to

raise their status. Opposed to viewing this

as a non-productive hobby, it’s truly

endearing when the man in your life can

motivate himself for every challenge, just

for fun (and show commitment to his

friends in the process😍). This makes him a

solid support system in the long run!

Bonus Points! Your average gamer guy is

more creative due to this title. This makes

the possibility that you may grow bored of a

routine practically non existent. These men

apply their creative nature to all aspects of

their lives, and so naturally! Thought out

gestures and acts of the spontaneous variety

keep things interesting with your king of

tenacity.

Now, while simultaneously ignoring the

vanity check, let’s talk social status. The

1980’s were a glorious time of big hair and

breakdancing. But with arcades booming in

the late 70’s, the 80’s made for a glorious

video game era! At least, that’s what we see

now. That’s because the birth of video

games also became the birth of the video

game nerd. A negative stereotype flooded

out nation wide. From classic movies to

the PTA meetings, too much game = social

ineptude.

This isn’t generally the case nowadays, as

living through the largest technological age

in known history is generally considered

fascinating (wowee who would have

guessed!) and gaming is a skill that can even

be monetarily compensated. However, the

introverted title remains, which raises the

question,

Is it a bad thing?

Studies show that the average introvert

forms longer lasting meaningful

relationships as opposed to their

average extroverted counterpart (think

quality instead of quantity). James. A

Michener has said “Character consists of

what you do on the third and fourth tries”.

So while you may be initially hesitant, you’ll

realize your shy-guy has a great judge of

character. Their problem solving skills are

next level from years of mental stimulation,

and their intuition is like no other. So if

you’ve caught yourself a teammate for

this video game of life, you can always

expect to level up.
