Just not play them, or actually remove/sell all video games and consoles?
If it's just to not play them, then sure.
Any girl who would actually date me would probably end up dumping me anyway. It would be nice to have a girlfriend for the first time in my life, at least for a little while.

1) She wouldn't be in a position to refuse, unless she was also insanely rich or something and I was walking on eggshells in hopes of getting into a prenup-less marriage.

2) Given that I'm not that into games any more, it probably wouldn't make that much difference anyway. What little I do can just be played on the sly, especially in the case of something like PoGo.

I'd say no. I already have issues where my wife is very anti videogame and hates that I play them.

(before you ask, she hates video games because they've turned her brothers into mindless fat losers due to gaming addiction)

Nope.

No girl/woman should ever get in your way of doing what you love to do as a hobby on your free time.

I get that it happens to people at first maybe. Perhaps for the first couple of weeks but forever? Come on now.

This. Compromise in a relationship is one thing, and I can see a significant other having grounds to complain if you spend like 10 hours a day playing games and not doing things they want to do (or at least doing things you can do together, and assuming they themselves don't like playing multiplayer video games), but absolutist ultimatums are pretty much poison for any relationship unless you're a complete and total doormat.

No one "forbids" me to do anything and remains a person I want to continue existing in my life.

No. If your partner can't respect the hobbies you enjoy and tries to control you that way, (as long as you do it responsibly and not let it interfere with important things like bills, rent, food, etc.) then that's a clear warning sign. You don't hafta be interested in your partner's hobbies, but you should at least be tolerant of it.

Sounds about right. If I'm not spending enough time with her, that's one thing (provided those time demands are reasonable), but dictating what I can and cannot do in free time is no bueno, except maybe if she's concerned about addiction (and even then, there are far better ways to express that concern than to outright forbid me from playing).

Even if I were single, liked women enough for a romantic relationship, or you turned it into a hot guy, my answer would be no.

As long as you're handling your responsibilities and not doing something unfaithful or illegal, NO ONE has any business telling you what you can do as a hobby.

Nope. I wouldn't be whipped(unless demanded by her) by anyone no matter how attractive they are. If I want to do something, play something, watch something or whatever then I'm going to do it. They either like it or lump it. However I am open to compromising on certain decisions in most cases. A relationship is give and take I'd imagine.

No.

A.) She's a female

B.) Compromise is needed in a relationship. They won't tell me what my hobbies are or who I can or can't hang out with. Things like that.

It kind of disturbs me that this scenario is real and common, and that some people treat it like it's normal and okay. Because it's icky video games. It's like... Try to apply that same bullshit overbearing bossiness to some other hobby. Would it be okay for a girlfriend to refuse to let you play a guitar? Refuse to let you watch movies? Refuse to let you read a book? Hell no.

Ibe never gotten shit for playing video games, but yeah, that would be my counter argument.

I'd even argue that video games are better for you than watching TV.

Video games are actually provably better for you than TV. Constant TV time is known to help progress elderly dementia, and video games are proven to help SLOW dementia and keep the elderly brain more active.

Even if I didn't love my video games she'd probably be an awful, controlling jerk in other aspects. If she were hot enough I'd go ahead and play for a little while and just do my gaming while she wasn't around. But I wouldn't get serious or go long term with someone like that.

Pretty much it. It feels a bit awkward for me to play games in any house, mine or hers, in the presence of a lady who clearly shows no interest.
