Looking for a girlfriend who plays COH/COV

epic thread in progress...
I agree with you Power. I've been with my wife for 16 years and we're only 30ish. This game has been an issue in the past as i was ignoring my normal responsiblities and she wasn't a gamer at all. Since then, i have grown up alot. Now, i also vacuum. (LOL) But seriously, everyone needs an escape from reality. Just don't let the "escape" become the "reality" and everyone affected will be happy.
Same ride here. My wife of 8 years was my friend for a decade before that. She doesn't game. At all. However, she never gives me any grief about it either. She has her escapes, I have mine. She spends her money on whatever she wants, I do the same.
This is why in our home, we share the master bedroom, our son has his bedroom, I've got my computer room/office and she has her library.
You don't need a gamer to have a good mate. You only need to choose more wisely who your mate will be and treat her with respect and demand the same in return. If you aren't giving it, then she chose poorly. If you aren't getting it, you chose poorly.
Yes, that means when she says, "yo, nookie now!" you get off the gorram computer and tend to her needs. Log back on when done. 
Be well, people of CoH.

I'm a guy and your post made me angry. Not going to bother saying what i think you are and then censor it but honestly you're that much of an idiot to actually believe someone acceptin to get themselves involved in a relationship with you are actually controlling because they most likely want to spend some time with you and not watch you play an mmo all day long? i assume you play too much if that was an issue more than one time as you described it. Not trying to be judgemental and hope you find your other gaming half that will be sane enough at an age of 40 and as passionate as you are about mmo's.

Although, playing CoH isn't a must, just something to have in common to start. PM if interested and we can cover basics from there. East Coast is a must. |

It sounds to me like:
1) The guy really likes his MMO(s).
2) The guy has had bad experiences with people who take what he considers a serious hobby as a silly waste of time. (I run across these people every day.)
3) He would like to forgo those types of experiences again by trying to find someone who shares a common interest that is important to him.
I find find this odd at all. Certainly not worthy of getting angry over.
I mean, let's not kid ourselves. The general public perception of gamers is that they are pubescent tweens or teens (or even twenties) holed up in their parents' basements, playing with the chest slider to get cheap thrills. This is most definitely not the characterization I would put the vast majority of CoH players that I run across.
Typical example of what I run across in everyday life:
Me: "...So I run this gaming web site called the Paragon Wiki."
Average Joe: "Really? How big is it?"
Me: "Well, I guess it's pretty big, it gets around 2.5 million page loads every month."
Average Joe: "Wow, you must be making a killing off the advertising!"
Me: "Actually, I don't run ads on it."
Average Joe: "Oh? How do you make money then?"
Me: "I don't. In fact, I pay around $80 a month in hosting costs."
Average Joe: "And you just do this because..."
Me: "Because I like the game, the people are nice, and I know how much I hate ads. It's my hobby. Some people spend money on cars. Some people spend money on woodworking. Some spend it on gardening. Or cooking. Or sewing. I spend it on gaming."
Average Joe: "You're an idiot. You could probably be making a lot of money!"
Me: "Yeah, never mind."
If I went out with a girl and she treated me like that, it would be a quick one-way trip to the bottom of my s*** list.
Besides, look at it this way. Most churches have singles groups, and believe me, most religious people I know are a lot creepier than gamers. What's so odd about trying to find a girlfriend with a common interest where such girls are likely to be?
Not a thing, I say, and count me among the people wish the OP good luck.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
My wife was never much of a gamer.I played console games and some pc games.I started playing CoV years ago and she would watch me no problems there.
I come home from work one day and fire up the game and notice I now have a female toon on my server list.(I don't make girl toons)
So I ask her whats this thinking it was one of the kids,she tells me it's her brute she made.I also notice it's lvl 24,she had played all day till I got home.
Long story short she now has her account and I have mine,and we play almost daily.Although we have slowed down on console games and got more into pc games she has been there on everything.
Needless to say OP they(gamer women) are out there and just have to show interest and respect what you like.Best of luck to ya!

If you read the post and found it funny, fine.
If you read it and found it pathetic, fine.
If you read it and it sounded reasonable, fine.
If you read it and it made you angry, or disgusted, or any other intense emotional response, you need to take a step back and get yourself under control. This is the internet. If you can't control your reactions to mild stuff like this, maybe you need to lead a more sheltered life.
BTW, I fall in the 3rd category. The CONCEPT seems fine to me. The DETAILS of the post make it sound like the OP needs to adjust his priorities. But, you know what? I bet the OP doesn't CARE what I think. I don't care whether he does or not. And that's how it should be!

Even when I lost my job, my wife insisted that CoX stay on our list of "can't live without it" expenses, next to natural gas and electricity. It was her idea. She comes first, the game second, and everyone is happy.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan.

I leave those kinds of relationships because I sense too much control on their part towards me. So I was thinking I should maybe find a woman who understands about MMO's and maybe City of Heroes/Villains. So I was thinking as usuing this thread as my idea to find a female between the ages of 32-46 of any race. I am a 46 year old latino father to a 13 year old little girl. I don't mind if you have a child(s). I live in California somewhere in the Los Angeles area. San Fernando Valley to be exact. That is about 15 miles west of L.A. So someone near that area or nearby would be perfect. I am serious about this and I just would like to make my next relationship easier. I don't want the hassles I normally have with explaining about being a MMO player.

There's where your idea breaks down. She's not trying to control you. She just wants someone who thinks she's important because she's a real live person. If you think a game is more important than real live people, you have some bigger issues than finding a girlfriend.

On a side note, i think i'll place an ad also.
I'm a married 34yo male. My wife is 31 and also plays CoH when not at school. We would love to find a girlfriend for the both of us that plays CoH, too. Although, playing CoH isn't a must, just something to have in common to start. PM if interested and we can cover basics from there. East Coast is a must.
I don't think throwing an ad up on the forums is really allowed but heck good luck I guess.
As far as you significant other needing to play COH ummmm NO!!! My wife and I have been married for 13 years and I can count the number of times she has played a game on one finger!Yeah and it's usually THAT finger!
Trust me. You DO have to walk away from the keyboard sometimes. Also though if she loves you then she should understand you need a little gamer time. My wife despises my games especially now that my son has an account too, but as long as we keep it in check and get other duties done we avoid fights. Besides she gets to Farkle her life away on Facebook while I play.
