What are you guys doing being the game?

What is it with guys and their video game & anime addiction?

• I have this guy friend I really like and I think he's a very cool person. And the thing is, I don't mind him liking anime and videogames what so ever cuz I think u can like whatever u want (just shows who u are), but I hate how his likingness is more than what it is; he's so addicted to anime and videogames, and alot of the times when we IM he never says much to me, and whenever I'm quiet, he's like "why are you quiet?" And now he's found this girl that i think he might be falling for who loves what he loves and...well is also into porn too. Anyways, I just wanna understand whats with guys being so absorbed into anime and video games so much that they don't engage into reality that much? Doesn't that addiction kinda, well make you... I don't know, kinda impair your life or the way you think, does it somehow make u narror minded or something? What are the bad effects anime and video game addiction can do? I mean, I care about him, and think he's cool, but wud be alot better and likeable if he focused more on other stuff and even was more engaged in our MSN convo. It hurts how...how he ignores me and youtubes too many amv's or god knows what behind the screen, although I will say I do sorta like some of his taste in music. But still, it kinda hurts me cuz he's kinda like my only friend, I feel kinda weak, distracted, lonely and etc. But just for the sake of understanding what is it with the god damn addiction addiction?

• Answer:

  its not just guys, im a girl and i am obsessed with video games and anime too i can't tell you the addiction but i can tell you that if you want this guy to like you why not try and watch them they really aren't bad...my boyfriend thought anime was lame until I got him to watch it with me now he loves it too (not all of them but most of them) seriously, its not as lame as everyone thinks i'd recommened watching Inuyasha, Death Note or Bleach to start out with they are really good animes and video games, play something like Final Fantasy they have great story lines if he sees you are interested in it then you will have more to talk about and if you just can't get into bc video games and anime aren't for everyone than maybe you should find someone else who has the same interests as you do
