After watching the now classic “Wii Fit Underwear girl” many guys are making attempts to convert there semi-entertaining girlfriends into gamer girls. AnalogHype went through a rigorous investigation process and was able to come up with a fool’s proof way to turn your girl into a gamer girl.
Consider Her Personality
Think about your girlfriends personality because that plays a huge part in turning them to the dark side. Sadly, not EVERY girl is going to want to share your love for gaming but it wont hurt to try. Right?
Test the Waters
In life, different approaches work on different people, thats no different when it comes to the ladies.
Sharing is Caring
Does your girlfriend sit behind you bored as you play your game for hours? This is NOT the best way to do it. Invite her to play. Don’t ignore your woman or make her feel like she comes second to your gaming habits. It’s very important that if your lady says “no” or turns down a game, listen to her reason why… let it settle then try again after you try to get a feel for her game preference. Don’t try to force a different game on her ever day.
Make Intentions Clear
Let her know in a sincere way what your intentions are. Make sure to use words like “share” and “bond” and “connect” you’d love if she got more into gaming but also offer interest in something of her expertise so it’s not just a one way street- the relationship outside of gaming could benefit from it.
Gateway Games
Gateway game= that’s the game that will grab your girls attention and ‘plant the seed’ so to speak. With some girls it might be 50 Cent Bulletproof, other girls it might be The sims.
Testing the water needs to be used here as well. A simple… “Hey you wanna try this” as they pass by doesn’t hurt.
Some recommended games are:
Mario Party 8 for the wii, Smash Bros Brawl (lots of cute characters and the game is played with two buttons), World of War Craft, For XBOX live arcade theres geometry wars and UNO - Rock Band, Guitar Hero 3… all good gateway games
Transitional games
Depending on what games grab her attention will really decide on how to go about transition games. You might not want to take her from Uno- straight to Call of Duty 4. It’s all about delivery. RPG’s and puzzle games for whatever reason suck girls in- and for right now, that’s all you want is to get them nibbling until you get a bite and then reel them in.
Throw matches
Yes throw matches. Don’t make it obvious- but girls that are now getting into gaming get extremely happy when they take their man down. So jumping on a game of DOA or Virtua fighter and beating your girlfriend down mercilessly over and over is probably going to turn her away- girls are sensitive in this department so consider yourself warned.
If you follow these steps you can possibly turn you girl into a gamer, and enjoy long sweaty pwnage nights together.
