How do I get my gamer boyfriend to accept my lower level of gaming experience?

He plays video games, so do I. But how do I get him to accept the fact that I'm not as good as he is?

Does it really matter if he is better in video games? If it really bothers him that you aren't as good as him, he's a jerk. I'm sure that's not the case so here are some tips...





1. Ask him is he knows how lucky he is to find a g/f that actually plays video games! My b/f LOVES it


2. Find a game that you like (and are decent at) and make him play you


3. Some people aren't good with certain video games. I and horrible at those war games, so I usually don't play them. If you like driving games for example, maybe you can kick his butt and knock him down a peg.


4. Practice a fighting game (like tekken or mortal combat) it is very easy just to mash buttons and do a good job and kick his butt!


5. I don't understand exactly what the problem is, does he try to make you better by giving you too much gaming advice? Does he make fun of you? Either way, stroke his ego and tell him how good HE is...maybe his gaming abilities are far superior to the general population.


6. Again, if should not matter how good you are, if he is the type that plays constantly and never gets anyhing of importance accomplished (not that he plays constantly, but still gets everything done) then he is a loser! Trust me, I've dated them. If he is younger, he'll grow out of it.





I hope this helps

Reply:Just don't worry about it. It's awesome for him that you play video games, and you should remind him of that every time you play together.


Try practicing on your own a bit, without him around. I find my gaming performance is much better when I'm not bothered by anyone.


Here's a fun idea: Get a game that neither of you have ever played, practice it until you feel confident in your ability, then challenge him to a few rounds. I guess that's a little childish, but it might deflate his ego a bit. I hate it when anyone puts down someone else's gaming skill, guy or girl!!!
Reply:lol lol /chicken on you noob lol. Ok so i lik ttly pwn and stuf and i wld prbly own him too you know... but if u like ttly own u need to practice sum games like Rts and Fps. MMO's are cool too but they arent rly a game. just strt prcticing and watch purpwnage. You will quickly become gaming influnced n u can lern how to own your BF. #1 rule of gaming is to own. If you aint own you bettr go home and watch some purepwnage cause doug and Jeremey ttly chang my life and now i own. Doesnt matter if u ply games as long as u own. So the only way to stick with him is to own him at his game. Thn he will ttl respect u.
