not to be attracted to any grown man who regularly plays a computer game

[secunda]

I just can't. Challenging the kids on the Wii on Boxing Day is one thing, but spending a significant amount of time immersing oneself in an imaginary world, and not even in a constructive way as reading a book is [says she, covering arse]. It's so immature. World of Warcraft, ProEvo, all tedious and unattractive time-sucks imo. If DP spent hours doing it, as some men seem to, it would be a dealbreaker (he doesn't play them at all)

AIBU?

Secunda, I'm with you. I don't understand anyone who could prefer keyboards and pixels to real living breathing people, fresh air and real life.

But I am quite old and I am a bit of a rural girl so prefer the outdoors. Right, off to pick up DS before anyone points out that I'm sitting at a keyboard on a sunny day

Uh.. yeah.

Yes, I find would find it unattractive and TBH, cannot see the appeal, particularly in the summer when you could be outdoors.

DH is obsessed with gardening and I'm so grateful that he's into something that all the family can enjoy and participate in and that gives us something useful (vegetables and flowers).

Playing games (to excess, I don't mean the occasional go) just seems like such an waste of time - but then, I sort of think the same about MN and i have to make a conscious effort to not do that to excess.

yanbu.

I don't have a problem with computer games per se but yes, a man who spent hours and hours on them, or who spent hours every day watching tv, or spent all his time watching football, or a man who spent all his time reading comics, just wouldn't float my boat.
