More so now than before, girls who play video games are very attractive to most guys. Because most guys consider video games a huge part of their life and will obsessively play certain games, it's nice (and often times more convenient and less stressful) to be with a girl who not just understands his passion, but shares it as well. This makes enough sense since for most guys, video games is one of the things they enjoy most. And while just lounging around with their girlfriend or going out to eat may be pleasant for them, they'd probably rather be killing blood elves or monitoring their minmatars.
Some girlfriends are fine with their boyfriends living that part of his life without them, but many others strive to share this part of their boyfriend's being. It's usually a self-esteem issue, where they feel they don't give their boyfriends a good time and fear their boyfriend always has more fun just playing video games with their guy friends. They're sick of being ignored or shoved aside, having plans canceled because their boyfriends need to level up or complete "important" missions. One solution to this is to adopt the gaming lifestyle as well, which is exactly what I did. I started playing video games because I wanted to connect with the guy I was with on a greater level. I spent hours learning and although I was always pretty good, I never got developed my own passion for it. Sure I enjoyed it and went through phases where I did feel compelled to keep playing but for the most part, I had to motivate myself to play. I never felt empty inside or anxious or anything close when I couldn't check up on my ships. I loved experiencing his happiness when we played together and seeing how seriously we played, but secretly I would've had just as much fun if we just went to the rose garden and laid around making fun of each other or did some arts & crafts (haha). But doing those other things wouldn't have got the same joy from him and so I made some sacrifices and forced myself to become a gamer and along with him.
Many girls are like me, but many girls "morph" into a gamer girl even before they are in a relationship. Dorkiness is the trend nowadays and most girls know the key to catch a guy's attention when stuck in a sea of all beautiful girls with all the same "qualifications," is to be a gamer! You will stand out and impress guys for being beautiful AND cool. Girls who game also come off as really low-maintenance and "chill," which is a huge turn-on for guys.
Female Gamers are those who actually enjoy gaming and never had a motive in playing video games. Although they realize the added bonuses of being female and gaming, they would still game without them. Gamer Girls can eventually be Female Gamers with time. It can be looked as: " the ends justify the means."
