Why do girlfriends/wives want you to get rid of your games?
e_brugal:
well, thanks God my wife likes video games too, not as a collector but as a player, so, i don't have that problem with her. i just ask her if she wants to play and there is two anwers, yes or not now. ;D
wiggy:
Yeah, screw that shiz. My wife is FAR from a gamer, but she sure as hell doesn't try and take that away from me.
palmer6strings:
Ya my GF doesn't have a problem that I'm a player or collector.

i think it depends on how you or your other half were raised.
my wife was raised w/ a very strict and responsible man as her father, who has very strong opinions about what's acceptable past time and isn't afraid to tell you 20 times in a day (hardly an exaggeration). however, i believe that stems from the daddy issues he had where his father didn't believe that his son was his, so my father in law worked extremely hard for his father's approval, and from the tender age of 8 started working in the fields (ouch), so to him video games were unacceptable, because of the case of how he was raised/accepted where he didn't have free time cuz he was worked so hard. this translated down to my wife to a certain extent (lesser extent fortunately) and coupled w/ my moms fantastic story of my video game addiction (even though i sold all my stuff for wedding money) she really doesn't want games in the house.
ya kinda sucks. buy i'm still planning on going for old school (well, mid-late 80's anyway) for my 4 year old son, so i'm still gonna get him an NES w/ all those great games, later a GBA starting on GB and GBC games and we'll see from there.
anyhow, i think we need to get some girls to comment on this collumn, have some insight into how other girls think from a girl gamer perspective....
