Well, I hardly think this is fair. And it was written by a girl?! Preposterous!
I accept your challenge, ma’am! This is for you proud girl gamers out there- of all kinds! Cheers!
10 Reasons Why You Should Date A Gamer Girl
1. Because she won’t kill you if you tell her you’re going to be late because you actually got a good PuG for instances.
2. Two words: WoW Head. See also: reasons to enjoy long flight paths
3. Who better to go to that midnight release of Cataclysm with you?
4. Gamer girls find in- game gifts perfectly acceptable gifts for holidays.
5. You’ll never have to play the ePeen game.
6. Deciding on dinner, weekend plans, relationship issues, who’s going to answer the phone, and which tank can’t hold aggro – all can be discussed via PST which means never having to leave the computer to be a grownup!
7. If you are lucky, you get the female night elf dance on special occasions- nakedness and mailboxes not always included. If you are really lucky, she might cosplay as something sexy and you get to help her out of her costume at the end of the day.
8. You know you’ll always have someone at your back with an SMG, ready to kill that spawnpoint camping asshole.
9. She will never ever tell you that you should stop wasting your money on video games and that you don’t need that brand new console.
10. She might kick your ass in video games- but she’s kicking your friends’ asses, too, and nothing’s better than ragging on your best buds by telling them your girlfriend pwned them.
Well, have you?
(Props to my folks over at WoW Ladies for the list!)
If you haven’t, you should- and be thankful! After all, it takes a special kind of girl to be a gamer, and a special kind of guy to deal with her.
Cheers!

Haha when I posted this over @ WoW Ladies, I had no idea what I was getting into. By the end of the day, I had like, 150something messages in my inbox? I’m glad everyone could endeavor to put a positive spin on it, and I’m happy to see the good side of girl gaming posted here
For funsies:
#11. When she does kick your ass in-game (and it WILL happen), you can look forward to sweet make-up sex. Score!
