Yea that is just not going to happen.

I have dated so many divorced and separated women that just couldn't deal with the video games anymore. Way more so than financial problems. Financial problems didn't make them feel actively and completely ignored day in and day out.

Almost like the ultimate aphrodisiac in 2022 is a guy who hates video games.

I'm sorry you feel this way, and it's easy to become cynical after several failures on that front (I'm assuming) — I know many happily married men with amazing wives who generously allow their husbands to play video games for a reasonable amount of time, and they have children too. It's not universal, but ultimately they found women who respect them.

Another parallel I draw is: many women binge shows on Netflix and Disney+, or binge-read fiction novels, or [insert their own hobbies here] — and they especially have no room to criticize men for playing video games. Heck, many women have taken up playing games too when they find the right genre.

> Yea that is just not going to happen.

I actually dated someone who was quite a homebody herself, but things didn't work out for other reasons, not so much our lifestyles.

If not receiving constant attention counts as being ignored, then I'm not sure what to tell them.
