Video games being blamed for divorce as men 'prefer World of Warcraft to their wives'

[dave50]

Sad alledgedly grown men acting like teenagers. They really do need to get a life.

[ummmm]

Well mine doesn't play computer games....

He like a bit of facebook poker though...

[ChuckFickens]

So only men play computer games then?

[B00]

They've got a life, a second one. ;-)

Incidentally, it's not just men who take games to this extreme either.

And yes, i do know how easy it is to get sucked into games, especially Warcraft (not called Warcrack for nothing you know), luckily for me though I played alongside my husband.

" i played alongside my husband " oohhh ahhhh > :)

Perhaps their wives are also on their lap-tops, iPods, got their heads ditched in the latest woman's magazine or watching TV.

Why do the guys get blamed all the time?

[ChuckFickens]

Because of generalisations, you know, along the lines of women spend all their time watching TV or reading women's magazines.

[anneasquith]

^^^^^^ fair point !

[B00]

honestly Anne, no need for smutty innuendos on a Tuesday afternoon ;-)

And yes, very good point. Women, on the whole, spend a vast amount of time watching soaps, what else are their poor husbands supposed to if they don't share their partners obsession?

[anotheoldgit]

I said "perhaps" Chuck, giving the other point of view, why do people keep twisting my words.

One could say it was a generalisation to say men 'prefer World of Warcraft to their wives'?

I defiantly don't because I wouldn't know one button on the control to another, when it came to video games.

I can believe that. It happens all the time. my OH knows nothing about computers or games. He loves sports programmes on the TV or going out watching or playing bowls. When sport is on I get out the lappy, but woe betide me if I'm still on the laptop when the sport has finished. He's a mangey barstool when he sees me on the laptop.

Git - m'dear - time to turn that old sensitivity button down again !

[TTG]

If the women in question learnt the "skills" of Silvia Saint or Sasha Grey, the men would instantly lose interest in all manner of computer games.

[Whickerman]

my wife mentioned that if I didn't grow up my immaturity would erect a barrier between us.


heh heh heh... erect...!

[Answerprancer]

My girlfriend told me "You're immature ...period!!"
tee hee hee ..."period"

/// My girlfriend told me "You're immature ...period!!" ///

Maybe she has a point.

I was in a relationship where i was only allowed to play Xbox an hour a night and the lady in question always referred to herself as an Xbox Widow! Needless to say that relationship is no more!

[Booldawg]

a blank text on the mobile is the signal that mates wives have fallen asleep in front on the TV. This commences the covert xbox live sessions, often with TV volume set to barely audible levels, only discernable to the trained ear.
