Turn Your Main Squeeze into a Gamer Girl!

One example of girlfriend turned gamer. Image by Mike Gagnon. Model Pam Wright.

Let’s face it.  While it is an increasingly common factor to meet a girl who enjoys playing a video game every year or so, you want more.  You want to convince your girlfriend, friend that’s a girl, cousin, classmate, sister, whatever, to play video games more often then once every half a decade.  How do you do it? 

 

Start ‘em young

The younger they are, the easier it is to con them into playing.  While it is unlikely that you are dating a middle schooler, that is the opportune time to stick a controller in their hands before they discover it is ‘uncool’ for a girl to play video games.  But don’t worry, there’s still hope if they are older.  However, don’t marry a girl and hope that by the time she’s 43 you’ll be able to talk her into playing Halo.  Start as soon as possible, before they start getting logical and complain about how much money new systems, games, and gadgets cost.

Video Gaming Feature

Video Game Systems
Written by Sandra Cundy

The first video game system that I actually owned was an Atari game console that played only pong and pong like games. The console used your television to visually display the game and its "action". We were thrilled with the system and many hours were spent staring at the television screen with the eerie beep of the pong hitting the paddles echoing through out the room. The next video game system I owned was also an Atari, but instead of being dedicated to only one game, this actually accepted a variety of cartridges which played wonderful games, including Asteroids, Space Invaders and Pac-man. And we once again embraced them as wonderful advancements in technology and introduced them to our children.
