He is not wrong. Sure it is much less of an issue now then 15 years ago but back then girls did not like guys that were heavy in to games. It was accepted by all involved.

My on opinion on why so few girls liked games is that girls did not like gamers, hot guys liked girls so they in turn did not like gamers, girls are considerably more social than guys so more likely to stay away from games. The girls that did like games were the few non-social ones and there are far fewer non-social girls than non-social guys.

I don't doubt that things changed now as gaming is mainstream but in the classic conservative world, as the name implies, it still holds true.

Even on the left, while playing games casually is ok do they want a guy that goes partying with them/zir or a guy that raids? I know a few guys, including me that lost a couple of years to wow, not exactly a desired trait.

That being said, as long as the guy is hot he can be a serial killer and girls don't care. You can play what ever games you want if you also work out.
