how to woo a gamer guy

an article from the escapist, it’s far from perfect but a very nice break from the usual “woo a gamer girl” articles, also I found this paragraph to be a great sign from a mainstream gaming site. “Actually, you know what? We’re sick of this. We’re tired of women (or anyone) being portrayed as something you have to deal with in order to get laid once in a while. We’re tired of articles that portray “gamer girls” as the Holy Grail of nerd culture, while simultaneously complaining about what a hassle they are. Most of all, we’re tired of men portraying themselves as gaming’s Master Race. You’ve got problems, too, fellas. Likely more problems than most if you’ve ever written or agreed with a “How to Get a Gamer Girl” article.”

edit: it starts out bad but then morphs into something good, so read the whole thing. (thetaylordetroye)
