They feel more comfortable knowing that we stay at home and do our stuff than go out to some bar.

All joking aside, my wife has told me several times she is glad I am in my "cave", and not in a bar.

I think your right. That way she still has semi-control

Okay I had no idea that Beavis and Butthead were coming back. Fourteen years later and it still makes me laugh. So when they were originally on television I was working a crappy job, had no girlfriend, and ate garbage while I watched Beavis and Butthead and played video games. Now it's fourteen years later and I am working a crappy job, have no girlfriend and eat garbage while I play video games and watch Beavis and Butthead on television....that's like the circle of life...or something.

How do you guys get wives? Almost everyone I know personally is either a single or has a string of short relationships.

August 31st it will be 40 years since we officially met. I don't remember how I did it. I think she led and I followed.

How old are you and your friends - if you don't mind me asking?

Been married 20 1/2 years here. I proposed to her 2 weeks after I met her.

Ilove stratergy: WOMEN you gotta love'em, but they just don't understand our toys.

Mrs D certainly doesn't. Despite the fact that she thinks the Twilight films and Britain's Got Talent are entertainment she still thinks that wargames are 'sad' [8|]

@Perturabo

All joking from my last post aside, if you are in my age group - mid-thirties- this is exactly what you can expect. I got out of a very long relationship six years ago. My discovery upon entering the dating pool once again is that a good majority of women ony wish to be spoiled wrotten for a few weeks, and then move on to the next guy that is willing to do the same thing. There is no good place to meet a good woman. Bars, churches, grocery markets....it's all chance. I am beginning to think that finding a woman with her head and her heart in the right place is about as easy as finding the Grail (if only I could find Castle Anthrax in my pursuit!!). Serial monogamy is the way of things now in our instant gratification, all for me, society.

My suggestion is to forget about women. Get a good dog, and a few more Matrix games.

We adjusted our expectations downwards. If you're consistently with a new partner or can't get one, you're expecting too much.

Sometimes you have to be patient. I got lucky 2nd time around to the woman who's perfect: for me at least. married 12 years now ( i think).

She said it was love at 1st sight but she wasn't wearing her glasses and her eyesight is rubbish, but I'm not complaining.

A woman that tolerates gaming is a good find.

I got mine some 20 years ago when I was gaming in the kitchen on an apple II+. I play my games and she does her own thing reading books.

Keeps us out of each others way [:D]

Its my birthday today.

Last night my wife baked a cake and today I brought it to the office.

I open the container in front of a small group – and the cake is in the shape of a big heart ! [8D]

[X(] You may not want to show this to your partner!

Ketza, "keeps us out of each others way", is the true reason for my long marriage.

After years participating in your cycling, hiking, chess, [ fill in the blank ] club a woman you have known for years will show a wonderful smile. You will wonder "how come I never noticed that before" as your heart melts !

My wife doesn't like computer games and think they are a waste of time...however, since the end of last year, she's very into watching series on youtube....let's me play on the laptop...both happy [:'(]
