I played 3d peron games (not online). Always picked girl for that reason. Never mattered because i'd end up focusing on the game.

In college, I played Diablo 2 as a sorceress and a dude was hitting on me because my character was hot?

Like dude, all sorcs in the game are ladies. Wtf.

Literally why is that a weird thing? People over 35 grew up with gaming, it's pretty normal.

As a Qiqi main, I support your life decisions.

People don't even bother to ridicule me.

People hook up everywhere, plus if you meet through a game you already have a common interest and a lot of stuff to chitchat about Win/win

countless families started in wow clans

In runescape you can buy gf, in dating app you no can buy gf, do the maffs

It's an instant common denominator. What's the difference than meeting at another hobby?

Cause those apps suck unfortunately.

Dating apps are not optimised to help u find a partner, they're made to keep u on the app

Man, I've met partners I dated for years because of random shit. Reddit, random interactions on discord, and a few more. My parents met because of a convention my dad organized for a show that was off the air for a few years at that point.

Humans are social creatures and they do be socializing.

I personally connect with people easier through games. For me, it removes the feeling that I have to entertain someone through some branching conversation. There's less pressure knowing we're focusing on the same task or goal and conversations feel more natural based on what we're doing or observing. It's also helpful to see how people approach obstacles and how they handle/display their emotions.

I haven't played online games in literally decades, but in the 90s, when I used to play MUDs, people used them to hook up (or just do the cybersex thing) all the time. I'm guessing the only big difference now is voice and video are in the mix.

I feel personally attacked. I have endured ridicule as a Keqing main for many reasons, but not age. Can’t wait to meet this guy! ᕕ( ᐛ)ᕗ
