Funny thing, I don't consider myself to be a "gamer" I had not touched video games since high school and I'm now mid 30s.

It was just this particular game that hooked me up. And yes the problem is the ladder system which makes it never-ending. There is always another human of about your same level range to play with, available with just a click.

Yeah, it is was the same with the game I played: no waiting time, just click away and play. There's no way to break the loop.

Well, gaming is for everyone, that's what I think. Given a person, you can find or build an appealing enough game for her to enjoy it. Well, barring stigma-aversion, prejudice, etc.

Seriously, though, try some single-player games. Max Payne 2, Machinarium, Fallout 1/2/3/New Vegas, Planescape Torment. My view on this is: deversify your experiences; there's a certain limit on how much you should play a single game for your own good, because at some point the experience becomes more miserable than positive.
