I genuinely cannot stress enough how fun the Untitled Goose Game is lmao. I know it's stupid, and most of you are going to be thinking, "really, Sydney?" but if you have a girlfriend/wife/fren who wants to play it with you, give it a go. It's a cute little time.
I've never heard of it, but it sounds interesting.
It's clear Liz never played video games because not everything is violent. I'm sure many of us learned to drive on PS1's Gran Turismo or some other similar game. I started snowboarding because of Cool Boarders. Some games are problem solving. Are there violent, combat-based video games? Absolutely. And they're fun and can be de-stressing (if you're not super wired and trying to win a tournament or something), and if you play multi-player, actually leads to better communication skills because you need to convey certain information in a clear, quick, and concise manner because you're player's lives might depend on it if you don't want to lose or start the level all over (think LASO), and other people need to speak. This is no different than pilots on the radio communicating with ATC. I'm sorry Liz, I like you, but on this one, you're dead wrong. Also, a lot of women play video games, including the same ones men do, and many people have made good friends playing, especially the HALO (2 & 3) and COD communities.
What's her take on men (and women) who watch sports but don't play them as their hobby, or like fantasy (insert sport). I'm pretty sure that doesn't fit any of the listed categories women find attractive. I think it's more important to have hobbies in common you can so with your SO, regardless of what they hobby might be. It's all about connection and bonding.
Almost forgot, Henry Cavill games, and is known for it. What's women's take on him. I'm pretty sure they would say he can game all he wants. The double, even triple standards, is ridiculous.
It's very fun to be a honking menace.
There's nothing more attractive than a woman enjoying video games. Even trying new games together or enjoying party games would be super fun.
Especially funny if it's such a strange game like the Goose Game you mentioned. Or Goat Simulator. That would be an endless supply of laughter 😂
On another note, I find it absolutely mind-boggling that, although video games are finally normalised in society, it's again being trendy to view down on gamers with arrogance and disgust. I mean... look, girl, just sit in my racing seat and enjoy some sim-racing and I guarantee you will enjoy it.
Sorry can you re-edit that breakdancing section I was too busy discerning the video game title screen you had in the background
Women will shit on men for playing video games, then go watch The Kardashians and The Bachelor
People still watch the Kardashians? The Bachelor is still on air? I looked it up, it really is still on. Damn. I thought it was off the air a decade ago.
Dramas are my vice, btw. And books.
Don't forget about The View.
we do not speak their names. lest we summon the monsters
Or worse…
Astrology
Exactly the difference men know the things they consume like games are a fantasy, female on the oter hand cannot make that distinction.
The amount of hate that has been normalized towards men is disturbing.
That’s modern feminism for ya
Not only normalized, but it's popular to do also. Anti man tweets/videos on tiktok always get hundreds of thousands of likes! Every single time.
Yep, my two sons will grow up in this sick-world. Need to teach them to be highly-resilient and not react to the constant hate and discrimination they will receive through their lives. All based on the simple fact they were born male.
Well yeah. That’s what you get when you let people who operate off of emotion to have power.
Literally for just being a guy!(And if you're between 40-60 you are just Evil) .. Too much B.S.
Women need to stop telling male gamers what to do with their bodies. My body, my choice.
Amen brother ✊
Stop being a loser and get out and tell your community to vote Trump.
thats funny
🤣
😂🤣😂🤣 Yeah, BUDDY!!
It's a blessing to have Henry Cavill be openly explicit about his love for nerd stuff. Because we finally have a big celebrity who can shut down all the talking points about "game bad"
i get where you are coming from but that does not matter to them. he is a high status man so to them (hypocritical women that is) he could do just about anything and still be good. keep in mind it has sadly become quite common to hold regular dudes to a much higher standard than the 1% and judge/punish us for the sins of the 1%. but im just happy not all women follow that warped mindset.
@@Ntwister it does matter to him, what are you even on about, if he doesn't get targeted while other men do, he'll still care regardless.
@@vothbetilia4862They didn't say it doesn't matter to _him,_ they said it doesn't matter to _them,_ as in the women that hate men that are gamers. They never said what they think Cavil thinks of this stuff.
@@Booglegirl0602 all the more reason for Henry to get mad at them.
They hate it because it takes attention away from them. That's it. Full stop.
Nailed it.
But any other hobby will give the same result, take away attention from her. So I guess we shouldn't have any hobbies at all.
No, I dislike it because I just do. Self absorption has nothing to do with it. I just happen to be the kind of person who doesn't mesh with gamers. It's not my thing, but if someone wants to play games they can go right ahead and do so. It's just not for me.
Bingo
@@ReaganConnelly1789you can say that all you want but what’s the difference between a guy spending 3 hours gaming Verse making things out wood? He doesn’t sell it he just spends a lot of time in the garage making things out of wood. FUCKING NOTHING.
Biggest ick for me is shitting on someone else's hobbies
True, I'm trying to think of a hobby that would be a huge turnoff for someone I'm dating and I can't think of any mainstream hobbies that would stop me from dating someone.
Big asterisk there choom. You’re free to shit on em, just not harass people over them. Besides, some things would be shat on. Like diaper furries…
@@Aaron-kj8dv taxidermy for me. You don’t want to get into any huge fights with them.
@@Aaron-kj8dv there doesn't have to be a reason why gaming is so stupid but also fun at the same time. "oh it's unproductive", so what!? So is everything... But it is unattractive. We don't have to invent a rationale.
I mean some peoples hobby IS shitting on other people's hobbies especially on social media... just sayin.
Women using social media are a major turnoff for me.

SM addiction for women is similar to pron addiction for men. Gross indeed.
We shared the same thoughts brother
@@jollypolly1686 NOT EVEN CLOSE... have you ever seen a porn addicted men spend 6 to 11 hours a day watching porn, and believing porn its real, so he wont fu ck or date any women? Or think porn its reality?
NO this dont happen, on the oter hand happen to what? 95% of the female population.
They need to get their own hobbies and stop telling guys how to behave. If you don't want to date a gamer, then don't date a gamer. Simple.
they don't date anyone, they all used up and lonely
If men complained about women who watched soap operas, using their argument of it being unproductive and whatnot, the whole internet would be yelling misogyny
Watching soap operas or any reality shows is unproductive and a red flag
they cant put themselve into the postion of other people and their feeling
Men do consider pink hair, piercings and tattoos on women a red flag. Tit for tat.
@@FireFighterChen Nah, Kitchen Nightmares is great.
They do all kinds of pointless hobbies nobody likes crochet crap hand painted cups coloring like children most of women's hobbies are dam near pointless if we called it like it was we would all be attacked.
“As a man, you can’t have hobbies. All of your time should be dedicated to making money for me to spend and to make me feel good.” That’s the general consensus of that discourse online.
I am a women happily married to a gamer not a problem for me. I love video games, drawing, video editing, crocheting, and other hobbies. Hubby never gotten after my hobbies. I cannot understand these women who cannot stand other people happy.
i know at least one person who have said this to me in my face. shes now a woke activist.
@XxHeavensXAnglexX there’s unhappy people everyone both female and male. Some people really just can’t stand the fact that someone else can be happy, without needing the other person even moreso. Jealousy also comes into play because the partner may want the attention of the other 100% of the time. I’ve seen this with a couple of men when they have children and start becoming jealous of the child getting more attention than them. Same thing with women and men playing games “me me me I want the attention” type vibes. It really comes down to jealousy and being unhappy/being self-centered. That’s the way I see it atleast.
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Honestly... that's what I seem to hear too.
Now it just seems all they want is for us to spend all our money and time on them...
Guy: spends 2 hours after work playing with his mates
Gal: 9 hours a day on tiktok and Instagram, being fed corporate bullshit.
Why aren't you being productive?!
Spot on !!
🫡🎯
TikTok is a time sucker and lots of ladies are fully addicted to it.
@@SydneyWatson This is why I purposely ignore TikTok, and most shorts (unless its interesting and doesn't have a longer video attached). I hate what our culture has become
For a couple of my exes, the real issues were me having friends and having interests. They thought my job was to be 100% attentive to them any time they walked into the room, and just sit waiting for them to come back any time they left. One would even get mad at me for doing projects around the house she had suggested because it was never the "right" time when I actually started them.
"Men playing video games is peak unattractive..."
Good thing I don't particularly care what you find unattractive. I don't play video games for your benefit, I do it for me. If you can't accept me for who I am, then I don't need you in my life. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
Just tell them "wearing makeup is peak unattracitve" ane let them dismantle all of their own arguments themselves
Is it peak unattractive to be a woman gamer? That's me ☺Why is it only with men? I wouldn't care either way. God forbid anyone has hobbies! Wouldn't want to be happy...
I'm black and I never had a problem with gaming having white male leads, because all I cared about was the games. Not to mention games have always been diverse
I’m a girl and never cared if I had to play a male character, of any color. Blue, red, brown, white. Just don’t care. I simply enjoy the game. Is there something wrong with us? My character doesn’t have to look like me.
SO REAL. As a black guy I love characters like sekiro, masterchief, luigi, etc. all men who look nothing like me 😂
Shhhhhh you arnt allowed to like that, tell everyone how games oppress you
90s TV was diverse as hell. Video games have always included everyone. It's a chaotic group, but anyone is welcome....fair warning.
@@emilythequeen1 men love playing as female characters, not even in a sexual way I’m a guy and I would love to be samus
If women consider men who are gamers to be a red flag, then men should consider women who are "anti-gamer" to be red flags as well. Fair is fair after all.
Woman that shop are red flags
Those men will be branded as "incels".
Women who talk too much, especially when they keep voicing their opinions about my usage of my own time, are a red flag.
I only date women that are into martial arts because no women really understands true respect until they have fought 10's of times.
Anti-gamer women very much are red flags. There's many other hobbies they find bad too, since everything needs to be about them. They're horrible to women who game as well.
Something tells me her "man" doesn't have many independent thoughts of his own.
Bro definitely has to be miserable with her
he's not allowed to think
his wife's boyfriend just tells him to go to sleep
No. He’s Poosay whipped.
SPIDER-MAN 4 will be Scorpion hired to kill Spider-Man by Kingpin. THEN, after killing off all the other villains (i.e., tinkerer, Mysterio, shocker, etc) to get info on Spider-Man’s whereabouts and his scorpion suit, he goes after Spider-Man.
Near the middle of the film (after DOOMSDAY), they all go into the Void, where the symbiote attaches itself to Scorpion. Vulture helps Spider-Man against VenomScorpion, where Spider-Man… vulture … scorpion DIE. The symbiote revives Spider-Man for SECRET WARS.
Scorpion kills off all the OTHER Spider-Man villains, establishes the then NEW villain (Kingpin), AND gives Spider-Man his symbiote suit.
Why women do not like men playing games:
#1. It is not about them. Playing games can take a lot of time, that does not involve men paying attention to a woman.
#2. It is not about them. Men playing games means that a man is not working to provide for a woman. Both on personal and societal level.
#3. It is not about them. Playing games makes men happy. That it is unacceptable. Only thing that should make men happy, is taking care of a woman.
Some women hate how easy it is to make some men happy, saying playing videos game is unattractive is an example of that.
Like scratching your crotch 😊
it's always been about monopolizing the man's energies, women will make shit up just to keep a man on egg shells for her, to them- they think it's cute, when in fact it more often goes into a very viscous abusive cycle, one that men never talk about and just accept it, rather than believing they can change the behavior more common in women- then we have society, psychology, all of these socially accepted organization that impose authority on the populace, will side with the woman 9/10 times and women love this tyranny, you live in a gynocentric tyranny.
"Men playing video games is really unattractive...but we should decide what's in those games otherwise it's offensive to us."
Just go away, infiltrators.
unattractive until he is a streamer pulling in 6 figures of course
They tried shame now they’re trying to make the games lame lol
Exactly right.
*GATEKEEP*
That’s all we can do.
@@peters4115 Ah, okay, I understand now! They thought men can be get out of gaming if they produce shitty games! Problem is, there always be good games for men to play with.
to those women who think men playing games is toxic and unattractive......WE DONT CARE!
Tooo right !!!!!
There are plenty of beta cucks who want to play the "happy wife happy life" game. Those women should search for those guys.
Spoiler alert: those guys are all miserable.
Better yet, they're just helping to remove themselves from the pool of potential wives. Which you know, you can settle for being single and childless, fine by me 🤷🏻♂️
Projection at its core. They know that people can point to them like "Well, you watch vapid reality tv shows enough to know the names of a small town's worth of people you'll never know... How is that better?"
Precisely, my comment
I think Henry Cavil debunk this stereotype by himself just existing as a man.
He plays games a lot. I bet those girls instantly become wedding ready, when they see him personally....
💯... But actually is not even about the games... If the "men" in question have money and status, the gamer part is not even mentioned. The "Go be productive" part is also ignored if you are a rich good looking gamer.
Women complaining that men aren't paying attention to them.....What a surprise.
It's worse.
It's woman complaining about what they THINK video games are, and applying that as a justification for complaining about guys who partake in that activity.
In other words: It's plane old toxicity.
(maybe if they did something worth paying attention to) 🤣
"This is a $700 haircut! Look at me dammit!"
And then they'll complain when men start giving them attention. What's the lesson here lads? Never take a woman's complaint seriously.
Exactly what I said, only my post was MUCH longer. Congratulations on your brevity. Seriously. Straight to the point.
Henry Cavill is into gaming. I bet women would break their rules in that case.
Haha good one! 😆👍
Hes not into gaming hes an avid gamer. Border,ine virgin levels with warhammer.... love him hahha
Doesn't Vin Diesel play video games too?
@@lm-pw9ulPeople probably forgot that he is into DND
@@lm-pw9ul He's actually a D&D player too.
It annoys me that whilst being demonised for our own hobbies, we're also told that we're keeping women away from the hobby...
🚺- videogames and gamers are horrible!!
Also 🚺- why won't sexist men let us in the videogame industry?!?
Thing is AFAIK men have never gave a single fuck about women gamers. However women always seem to want to change shit to suit them, damning everyone else. That's what men have a problem with. Play the game and enjoy it as it is. If you don't like a particular game then the solution is don't play it.
I’m a woman, and I have men to thank for getting me into video games and tabletop gaming. Which, by the way, were all military men who I served with.
It annoys me when other women make blanket statements about male gamers.
Your brother like Warhammer? Awesome.
This is because gaming used to be a de facto male space, and how dare men have a space that is exclusively, or mostly, theirs
My ex gf asked one day
“Why do you play video games?
I told her
“Same reason you wear makeup. Men like to escape reality as much as women do.”

Fun fact: books actually were stigmatized when novels became more easily accessible to more people. Reading for pleasure was seen as not good, anti-social behavior.
Nevermind that, WRITING was stigmatized as a threat to memory.
When you think about it, these are actually labour issues rather than social ones.
Once upon a time, people memorized stories and songs and made their living reciting them. Then someone came along to threaten their jobs with this new fangled thing called writing that made memorization completely redundant. Who needs to pay someone for memorizing the Iliad when any moron can keep a physical copy of it at home? What would become of the story-tellers when all of the stories were written down? Writing would be the death of art! Later still, someone invented the printing press...
I recently learned about how they tried to keep libraries from being public.. that was a trip. There's nothing like a good book in hand.
@@sokar_rostau same with the tailors and the sewing machine...
Fun fact: Most learned writing until that time was in verse and was written by better educated people. The objection to novels wasn't so much that it was "anti-social" but rather that it was poor writing, low English. The issue is similar to the initial objection to comic books, the difference being that comic books really don't require much facility with language. English continues to suffer, from proper writing to comics, from comics to video games.
Another Fact : Most average minds hates people that are smarter than average because they are used of hearing that not doing any efforts in your works is okay.
You surely seen it or witnessed it.
A smart person being picked at because they are not your average person.
I am a 64 year old Grandma who loves gaming. I play with my brother, sons, daughters and even my Granddaughters. It’s a way to connect with them laughing and joking and having a blast. Distance isn’t a factor when you’re able to be online enjoying your time together, it’s Game on…
awesome.
man I want my family to be into gaming too
W grandma
From one old lady gamer to another, RESPECT.
So true. Glad you all do this together!
Women will call gaming a “red flag” but will date the serial cheater, which is an actual red flag, and cry when he cheats on them….
Hence why we’re not putting any weight to their opinions
thing is .. their ego is so big, that they know he is a serial cheater, but in their mind they think they are so great he would never cheat on them ... and that all stems from all the simps in their life telling them how great they are. what the women dont seem to get or understand is that the simps and everyone else are only telling them that in hopes it increases the odds of them getting laid.. men need to stop lying to women in hopes of getting some..
Yup look into the deadpool killer
How many Women write love letters to convicted serial killers,doing life?!
Most women's opinions are like swiss cheese - just full of holes. Hence why I don't put much stock into anything they say.
I'm old enough to spot a woman who is a cut above the rest, and I'll definitely listen to what they have to say. But the rest of the Kardashian loving NPC's aren't worth the time of day
@@inkgeek4706 No instead what needs to happen is we need to find some way to reach our long lost brothers, build them up, encourage them to become one of the "boys", and show them that these women they're simping for, do not and will never truly give a shit about them. Shaming and putting them down, simply hasn't accomplished anything.
It's not so much they need to stop lying to women, because women are going to have self-inflated egos and blame men for all their problems no matter what you do, it's more so that they need to experience true brotherhood to ultimately realize they're being played and completely used by these sirens.
I am 38 years old, married for 11 years and have two kids. I like to play games at night after my wife and kids go to bed. My wife encourages me to do so and understands that it is the downtime and hobby that I enjoy just like people have all of the other ridiculous hobbies they enjoy. So I don’t really care what people like Liz Wheeler or anybody else says. People have hobbies they enjoy so let them enjoy them. Now I will say this, if your hobby (whatever it may be) causes you to neglect your responsibilities (all that life throws at you including getting yourself a job and providing for your family), then yes that is a problem and that hobby needs to placed aside until you have prioritized the most important things first.
i wonder where" going to clubs and looking for new one night stands" ranks on the list of unattractive hobbies.
The Steins and Bergs say its bad to slutshame their biggest customers on "dating" apps. All morals are to be destroyed or corrupted, never praised.
Pretty damn high for me.
it dosent , they are to far gone and will only realize the truth when the are in their late 40s wanting to have a kid, by then its to late. they are married to their carriers at point.
@@s4ndmanthorsminion637 Gonna be even worse by 2030 since supposedly 45% of women will be single & childless, with a lot of men likely wanting absolutely nothing to do with them.
We've only just begun to see the beginning aftermath of the MeToo movement and neither women nor society is done completely shaming and putting down men. It's going to get so much worse for women as the years carry on, and it's literally their own fault.
Come on mate, who do you think the straight women are sleeping *with*. People who go to clubs for a mate will find the other people who go to clubs, if you want to avoid them you look somewhere that isn't the club.

People agreeing with Liz Wheeler should not date gamer and gamer should not date people agreeing with Liz Wheeler. Do your thing, I'll do mine, end of the story.
She's actually on point with a lot of positions she has on other topics; her issue with this entertainment medium stems from ignorance of the nuances of the medium itself and an outdated perspective.
She reminds me of Nellie Olsen from 'Little House on the Prairie'
@@BeanCasserole-wg7wu It's not illegal to use slurs in the few remaining free countries in the world.
@BeanCasserole-wg7wu I actually study other cultures and linguistic evolution specifically to obtain the most effective and accurate means of using racial slurs with various targets. Sometimes I change it up and use the complete opposite racial slur for an individual just to get the look of confusion that inevitably results.
This would be quite the opposite of ignorance, wouldn't you say?
Frankly, most people who get offended at such "racial slurs" have been conditioned to respond that way to a given word without themselves possessing any knowledge of why it's supposed to be offensive in the first place, or the linguistic history of the word itself. Given this, you could say that the ignorance lies entirely with the person on the receiving end.
probably the best solution here. I should have mentioned how many ladies stood up for the lads in Wheeler's comment section.
My wife never cared about me playing games. She had her hobbies I had mine. We both stepped back from our hobbies after we had our daughter
Congrats on the baby! My wife and I did the same when we had our twin boys. Not a lot of time to spend on things like that but don't worry you'll find time to enjoy things again (not to say you don't enjoy the time spent with your daughter).
The same women that say playing video games is unattractive are the same ones who will call you sexist for saying having a high body count is unattractive
Those same women with high body counts are the same women who will say men are sexist because they say men think women are sexual objects
Or they'll go out in public leaving almost nothing to the imagination.

@@delta22ization It'a pointing out the women can call out men for having innocuous hobbies but would get mad for being called out for actual toxic behavior. It's called double standards.
I have a government job, there is more physical strain demanded put on my body compared to others because “I am a man and am built for it”. I’m working 12 hrs- 13 days in a row before a day off.

Over the years, I'm 61, I have discovered that those who moan the most about peoples hobbies are those with no interests themselves and often expect others to entertain them as they can't entertain themselves.

@@jacoboc2244 True, we've been in cultural and communal decline for some time now but with so many things arrayed against them I find it hard to see how that can be turned around.
A big reason women can't stand video games is because it takes the attention away from them. Women who are confident and have their own hobbies aren't so insecure about it. I know from experience, my fiance couldn't stand the fact I was a gamer until I asked her if she's ever even tried them. When she gave it a shot we ended up having a blast together not to mention she was damn good at them too. Back in the split screen days with the Halo trilogy, gears of war, Rainbow Six Vegas. We did it all.
And yet they DEMAND to get rid of male game developers and studios pandering to women in videogames industry... They even hire female only studios, just look at Ubisoft photos. They only liberal females.
So a girl meets a guy who isn't controlling, is respectful, works hard and makes a good income, doesn't drink to excess and is generally what most women would call a "good catch".......but if he owns a PS 5 it's a no-go? Seriously, if I met a woman like this and she had an aversion to my game playing, I would consider it a bullet dodged.
I'd be upset if he didn't own a PS5. We need to match you know;-)
Tbh most women go for toxic guys.
Ya I do not understand what peoples deal is with gaming. It is a hobby. It is no more a waste of time than any other hobby. Gamers gotta stick with gamers apparently...
@@MsWillowbayOrelse is really simple. Entitlement for not getting all the attention. Ppl that jump to such assumptions most do so without logic. Is an emotional take which the person who takes the shot ensures the correct audience is listening. Zero logic. They know it also, you can tell by the smile of awkwardness when someone questions their ideology or logic.
Women can have all the hobbies in the world, but God forbid a man has his own, especially vidya.
In a coffee shop I once overheard 3 girls non-stop talking about handbags for like 40 min.... That's a real turnoff for me
Those same women will shame their BF/Husband for playing video games for 2 hours after a hard days work.
For 40 minutes? Wow. Surely there are more worthwhile things to discuss.
As a woman, that would have ME running away from those women. I can't stand such nonsensical conversations. Thankfully, my women friends don't discuss such things, unless we're joking about other women's obsessions with them. LOL Even then, it's maybe a 5 minute conversation before we move on to a more interesting topic - like life.
I'm a 65 year old male gamer with my favorite being 'The Elder Scrolls' series. My late wife was an avid gamer and many times we'd team up on MMORPGs. She taught herself to write code and was building an RPG when she died. We had been gamers since the 80s, gaming was one the interests we shared.
That's awesome that you could share that together. RIP to your wive❤😔
Heartbreaking.
So sorry for your loss.
You sound like a great man with a lovely wife Rick - thats a really good memory to have.
Couple goals for sure!
That's amazing
Men playing games - women “REEEEEEEEE”
Women spending 8 hours a day on social media (tik tok, instagram, twitter etc) - women “I don’t see the problem”
My ex-wife once told me "you do nothing but play video games, while my ex was using his time to buy and sell cars, making lots of money". I had to remind her that her ex, cheated on her more times than the hair on her eyebrows. But hey, there is a reason she is now an Ex.
they will fight for the most desirable men, because they dont realize they mid women at best, and the desirable man will use them and drop them.
then when they find someone who appreciates them and treats them right, they complain that he isnt just like the desirable man that screwed them over before.
Have heard this argument. Some women have a way of placing cheaters on a pedestal. Which is wild to me, like is it then ok to cheat on them? Is that the message their subconsciously pushing?
"but money!"
@@DarthZ01 thats a lot of words to say "its all about the money"

Where I'm from, gaming among the female population is getting more and more popular because 1. It's fun and 2. Playing with your significant other is much more fun than bitching about it.
I've been a gamer since 1985. I've met few other girls that don't like gaming. The idea that women rarely game is completely silly.
@@mayowankenobi most woman nowadays probably have played some kind of video game. even if its just the Sims, Candy Crush or Hay Day or whatever...
@@mayowankenobiAgreed. Don't know where all the men bitching about women bitching live but I'm glad I don't live there.
@@mayowankenobiYeah, I don't know where those weird people always come from or in what shitehole they live but we all played video games together in my childhood and the guys didn't care. That wasn't the norm but it wasn't rare either.
Either Sydney and her whiny incel fans (and I'm not using that term lightly lol) are focusing on some irrelevant rage bait like terminally online weirdos as usual or people nowadays are just close-minded Karens. Probably a bit of both.

Now I can work out again without being called vain and selfish,
I can go to various stores and garage sales and collect vinyl, movies, books, and games,
I can indulge in various ways of cooking, trying different ways of making tea and coffee

Sydney is gonna get called a "pick me" because of this. As a male gamer, I gotta thank her for fighting it.
Isn't a pick me just a girl who would actually attract a guy because of their congeniality? Now I suppose it's the same as a simp boy, but there is still a huge difference. A pick me girl retains femininity, while a simp loses testosterone.
@@n.d.m.515 I'm pretty sure a pick me girl is any woman who isn't actively involved in criticizing and manipulating men on a daily basis.
Understanding that men and women compliment each other despite having disparate preferences sounds logical to me. If that makes Sydney or I a "pick me", then so be it. This culture of labeling is everything my generation USED TO fight against.
I would NEVER go after any women calling other women "pick-mes" because she may as well be announcing that she's an insufferable biotch and that I'd be wise to avoid her. You know what I would do though, actually try and pursue the "pick-me" 😉
@@n.d.m.515 You can be ugly and still be called a pick me, the fear is that men like hanging out with you as much as it is that they want to sleep with you. There's also a difference between a simp and a guy who just likes doing girly things.
The type of women that are disgusted by videogames are the exact type of women I'd like to avoid anyway. It all works out!
Well said, most women would be insulted by the idea that they should center their life around their partner or change their core interest to suit them but at the same time they find it normal to ask the very same of men. Why would I date someone who cannot stand me because of what I like? It makes no sense.
Exactly. Imagine being so full of yourself you think you're speaking to men by saying what a turn off having a boyfriend or husband playing video games are for you. We rather date someone who doesn't care or play video games themselves.
This 100%. If my girlfriend was acting like some of the women I've seen nowadays it would be an instant breakup cause I don't have time to date a child. We have shared interests but we also have stuff we do on our own. My thing is gaming and hers is watching crime shows and the like. It boggles my mind that some women think the dude has to share every one of her interests otherwise he gives her the "ick". Which by the way sounds completely childish since all they did was take one letter off the word we all said as kids and think that makes it any better
As a gamer who has been married for a long time, and with adult children, I can speak to this. You can be a caring father, supportive, loving husband that gets shit done and still game. I mostly gamed in the evening when the kids and wife were in, or getting ready for bed, dinner was served, dishes were clean, and chores and homework were done. That's even after some famialial hang out time (sometimes including some family Mario Cart). You keep your priorities straight, and compartmentalize properly. Addiction can be counterproductive or even downright destructive to relationships, regardless of the specifics of the addiction.
Not married and am a female, I’m pretty sure I play more than my bf lol. We have so much fun geeking out over games even though our tastes vary, some even play co-op. It’s a great bonding time and we get to laugh and rage at the same time. Anyone who says video games are horrible or it “gives them an idk” are either childish or imagine someone playing them 24/7 which is excessive but still not an “ick”. Tbh anyone using word ick makes me think of them less as it’s such a bizarre word to use as a grown adult.
People hate it when men have hobbies
Female people.
Honestly how bored do ya gotta be to shit on someone else's hobbies
Birthing people.
Manly hobbies are fine, not gaming.
These crazy women want men to worship them. Anything that takes away from that is a big no no for these crazies.
Interestingly 80% of women are attracted to only 20% of top echelon men. So why are they complaining about part of the 80% playing video games? It makes no sense
This is the best comment. Exactly right on target.
Drama
Bcos complaining is their hobby. That's what resulted in all the crazy activism and random causes.
Because they can't get those 20%, which are already taken. So they want to increase availability. It's still only about them.
They want to control the lives of men they don't even know.
"If I think of the top 10...they didn't play video games."
And this is a big part of why men play video games. Who TF would want to waste their time and energy competing to get on the top 10 list of an absolute dumpster fire?
Any man who finds himself flopping down that hallway will be making his escape long before the buzz wears off.
that kind of top 10 means that you have a problem not related to videogames
so why isn't she dating those top 10 men? because she's below 5
What’s funny to me is that apparently they wouldn’t mind they man to be hikers.
Imagine liking someone who’s hobby is litterally going anywhere but near you and would rather be on top of a mountain in the cold with a heavy bag rather than sharing 100m2 with you. Basically doing the stuff that the military has to coerce people into doing.
"flopping down that hallway" beautiful

I don’t care that some people hate my gaming . Hard to take people seriously who spend hours everyday doom scrolling through social media apps and want to point their worn out finger at me
Women: Why are you playing videos? It's such a waste of time and money, and we don't find it attractive!
Men: Why do women put on make-up? it's very expensive, takes up a lot of time and, often, we find it unattractive.
Women: Excuse me, but we don't put on make-up for men, we enjoy it and do it for ourselves.
Men: Exactly.

I don't know why some women think that what they find attractive should be of paramount importance. Who gives a fuck if they don't like gamers?

Bc these types of women are the same ones infiltrating gaming spaces and advocating anti male propaganda.

Nearly every person complaining about video games had the under tone of, "This does nothing FOR ME."
Some women have become way too comfortable just completely shitting on men for having completely regular hobbies.
While they don't have hobbies themselves!
@@maniacmatt7340that’s the real problem. Most, definitely not all, but most women straight up do not have hobbies outside of tiktok and reading shitty books.
@@maniacmatt7340 exactly. How dare men have a hobby when i don't have one ?
The way a woman "sees" a dude playing video games is the EXACT way a man "sees" a woman when she's got her face in her phone.

So women think gaming is evil, but bring up the topic of their OF pages and all hell breaks loose.
The virtual prostitutes on OF like to think of themselves as business entrepreneurs.
Women with an OF are just a massive red flag. It's clear she's a narcissist.
Hey now, can't be holding girls accountable all of a sudden! 😂
sydney please address the recent allegations that you do not know how to season your food
I really don't care what some random woman thinks of me or my hobbies. After 36 years of marriage, I have no interest in sleeping with them, or them finding me attractive. I do, however, get a good chuckle when women try to associate something men do with our virility, size or manliness. A man doesn't need a woman to tell him what it means to be a man. Neither do we need a woman's permission to be or enjoy ourselves. Thanks Sydney for the excellent review, as always.
This is a little bit tangential, but It's the same when women try to insult men's sexuality in an attempt to hurt them. Ive been called "f****t" by women as an insult and I've always just laughed because I truly don't understand what the goal is there. Like I'm so insecure I'd just respond "oh no, someone might think I'm a homosexual!!" I don't care lol 😂
They'll insult your inability to find sex but cry foul when you insult their inability to find love.
I'm 70 and been gaming since arcades. Anyone who plays any kind of game online is a gamer no matter what gender.
Dude, you're not a "gamer" you're a bonafide "video game player".
Mobile games don't count 😂
Playing video games is so common now, "gamer" means about as much as "television watcher".
Didn't Ms Wheeler get her start in TV?
I agree with your sentiment. But I also don’t think it’s a particularly useful term anymore .
Most people watch film and tv regularly , but we typically don’t refer to them as movie watchers
60 here. I played Pong, Space Invaders, and Asteroids when they were brand new. Games have brought far more joy to my life than any woman.
I remember my ex boyfriend and me playing videogames together and it was always fun. The nagging, the appreciation when winning together, the playful making fun when one of us lost, the snacks we ate during our sessions, the laughing, the raging together. All of it is dear memory to me because I got to spend it with him. These women are thinking they are princesses and the center of the world. Their men arent allowed to like anything besides them. Major red flag. Videogames are not the issue, thinking your partner can't enjoy anything besides YOU ia the issue.
Uh huh. There's a couple of people I know who deepened their relationship playing co op PvE games like monster hunter together. Being able to work as a team and help each other meant a lot to them. It's sad that more people don't get it.
Well said.
@@CALAMITY0FHYRULE Pretty much this, yeah. There is a reason its not uncomming for someone to find their future husband/wife in an online game...
I'm 54 years old, and I've been gaming since the early 80s. I married a woman who also games and we have the best times together Co-oping. When my kids were in middle school and high school, I would let them skip the day after a midnight release, just so they could go with me. Now my kids have all moved away, and I am a lucky grandfather who can play Halo with my 8-year-old and 6 year old grandkids😊
P.s. I love your videos Sydney😊 And my wife likes playing the Goat Simulator, for whatever reason🤔
I’m not doing my hobbies to attract women. I’m doing my hobbies because I enjoy them. If I HAD to make money, be “productive”, or whatever other bs reasons someone said to me to attract women, then I’d rather stay single and enjoy myself. I do the top two “unattractive” hobbies on that list. And I love it more than I want to be a simp.
I'm a girl gamer who also collects action figures. I've had more than one date look at me cross eyed when he saw my nerd cave. Screw those people. I'll wait for a man who appreciates my nerdy side!
I raised 3 hardcore gamers because I am one myself. I am female and two of the gamers I raised are female.
Anyone that has an issue with gaming/gamers clearly doesn't understand hobbies at all. Those people need to take a chill pill and stop judging other people's escapism by a twisted metric.
Additionally any woman that collects purses, make-up, clothing or shoes has zero grounds to judge people that collect figures.
Gaming ftw.
Playing video games is infinitely better than watching reality TV or endlessly scrolling through TikTok and Instagram and taking selfies 24/7.
Yup. A gamer 'makes their own movies', as it's interactive. Couch potatoes just sit and 'veg (vag?) out'.
You know what's a red flag? A woman that hates that I have a hobby I enjoy. That would be like me hating on scrapbooking or crafts because she enjoys it. How sad.
I am a 44 year old male gamer who has been happily married for 21 years with 4 kids (eldest just turned 18). The whole family plays computer games and enjoys them as a way to relax.
Master !
Right on! I set up a dedicated server for all the games we play in my family (wife and 3 kids) .
It's nice to be able to get into a game and play together.
My wife is really enjoying Sunkenland.
My kids have been loving the Minecraft server, they've even had friends join them to play together.
Games really can bring us together and allow us to meet new people.
I am a tradesman and I work up too 50 hours + a week. I work very hard and have very little time for my hobby (video gaming and Warhammer 40K).
My partner is a Dr and surgeon. When we do have time for each other, we strike a balance between us doing things together outside and inside the home.
She actively learned how to play my video games and openly asked about warhammer gameplay and the lore. She cares about it because it means something to me. She also actively encourages me playing video games and hobby painting because she knows I find it relaxing. She has also taken the time to learn how to play my favourite video games, because it is time we can share together, as a couple.
I have actively taken in interest in her gardening, because it is important to her. She has taught me heaps on how to not kill anything I plant! Which is also good for us, because we both love to cook.
The majority of the women on this clip could learn something from her.
Do whatever it takes to keep her around. She is the one.
You're like a Space Marine with his personal Sister.
Your wife is a legend, cherish her you lucky bastard 😊
This is the way
Looks like a lovely balance.
last GF hated everything i did for fun. my car, magic the gathering, gaming, cosplaying. just wanted to share stuff with her... left me for a guy that does nothing.
if my SO was into cosplay i would leave them as well lol
Sounds like her loss. She had the opportunity to try out new things with her partner and possibly turn them into her hobbies as well, but she was too closed-off and attention-starved to even care, then she left you for some boring loser. You'll find someone who shares your same interests, Hell, you'll at least find someone who is at least WILLING to try out your hobbies.
People with no imagination cannot understand what's going on when others exercise theirs. It's a limitation they have, and has nothing to do with you.
sounds like dodge a sucubis.
That is cold.☹️
As someone with a TBI, video games have been an integral part of my recovery. I think most women I have met who are against video games have simply been the type to not have real hobbies of their own and it stems simply from jealousy of finding joy in life.
Chris Rock said it best. Women want to be in complete control of men's happiness. If she isn't the one making you happy it's WRONG.
This should be pinned
Rock knows what's up!👍🏾
This. Women can’t stand seeing men having fun, and will always find a way to have a problem with it.
He also said men are not loved unconditionally, instead they are loved for the value they provide.
Hence if the videogame provides no value to her, then it's of no value to her and should cease.
@@bogstandardash3751 exactly! if video games benefited women theyd be championing them
My husband works his AZZZZZ off, both at his job and at home. If he wants to spend time on Sunday afternoon, racing cars online, it’s nobody else’s damn business. He’s a boss, he’s a babe, he’s a beast 🤭🥰😎 and he’s an amazing husband, father and provider. I don’t need those harpies who probably hike or camp all weekend, to tell me wtf we should do with out free time. They can kiss our azz.
That's just it. The harpies don't hike or camp. They sit and watch The Bachelor. Which is okay because they're the ones doing it.
Same. People judge my husband for playing video games on the weekend and try and call him lazy and a bad father. I'm more than fine with him playing games because he worked hard during the week. I try and make sure he doesn't have to lift a finger when he is home on the weekends (except to play with our son).
You girls make me so happy, your husbands are lucky men.
Ha! You think they would do something as physical and fulfilling as hiking?
He is slave lol 😂😂😂
Hey! I like crochet AND video games! 😄 Once, when a co-worker found out I played video games, she asked me "How can you just sit and play games for hours?". I replied, "Well, it's like how people can just sit and watch Netflix for hours." She said, "Oh...that's me." And never bothered me about it again, lol!
lol ! nice !!!!
I don't crochet, terrible at it, but I do cross stitch, embroidery, diamond painting, and paint by number in addition to reading and video games. I can't stand people who don't understand people do things with their time thay don't involve tv (which I do enjoy depending on the program).
I would argue you're being at least four times healthier than a Netflix vegetable.
You're at least moving something. Netflix vegetable doesn't.
You're at least doing some critical thinking. Netflix vegetable doesn't, or they wouldn't find Netflix interesting.
You're training your brain to recognize patterns, plan ahead, and make snap decisions. Netflix vegetable is literally training to be a vegetable.
Not to mention you're also building hand-eye coordination and social skills depending on what you're playing. Netflix vegetable is learning what bedsores are. 😂
I find pointing out how pointing out people watch Netflix fot hours on end often causes people to realize their hypocrisy and usually shuts them up.

You nailed it right there! Women, especially teens-20's are totally abtuse about mens lack of interest in just 'talking'. Especially womens need to prattle on about gossipy subjects men find terminally boring.
I think the only people that can say video games are a waste of time are those that do not watch any movies or tv. Sitting on the couch watching tv and eating potato chips is not better than being part of the story as you play a game.
Exactly! Tv consumption is passive, while gaming is interactive! Its better for the brain to game then to just watch tv. So these women complaining about men playing video games better not watch a single thing of tv.
true gamer move. do both.
Very true. I gave up all of it when I had a kid but those are all equally a kind of selfish waste of time when you have to care for children. I'm excited to get back to it one day though when they're old enough for mario kart
Indeed. And when it comes to learning, there is the Witcher games for example. They are excellent in showing the wonders of East-European architecture, the unpredictability and consequences of your choices along with the complexities of human nature.
Learning something by listening and watching is nowhere near as effective as when the person himself is engaged in the process.
Those women may need to ask themselves why their partners would rather game than spend time with them??? But I'm betting that much self reflection would cause them to spin out!
Animal Crossing and The Sims are games. They are just a different type of game. What is with so many people trying to say games can only be one thing? It'd be like saying movies could only be one thing, so romantic comedies weren't movies. People need to learn the phase, "That's ok, but just not for me". That'd solve so many problem.

the problem is that while playing video games men's attention is NOT focused on the woman . . . they can't stand that
The main resentment is that the man gaming does not service them & it's just for the man's pleasure.

My wife wants us to spend time together. Funnily, when we are watching TV, I'm watching the show, even if I hate it, she will be on her phone. I also get accused of being on my phone too much. 😅
Precisely. You know the female mind.😅
The problem; many women are narcissistic AF
The ironic part of this conversation is that women were claiming to be gamer girls just a few years ago and begging to get into the industry, yet now it's unattractive because they lack success in getting into said industry. This makes no sense to me.
Woke, lefty women hate we actual gamer girls too. We refuse to support their agenda. I happen to like men, unlike those psychos.
Those ones just want attention.
It's actually makes sense. You tried, you failed, now you never wanted that in the first place. Usually it's how children go around about manipulating world around them. Hypocritical but works just fine
No, it makes sense. For those women, it was about dominance and/or attention. The point was to force themselves into a perceived guy space, for the sake of their ego, jealousy, and/or spite. For decades, we've been encouraged to see men as direct competition and obstacles, and this is a natural result.

Woman here, been playing videogames since I was 8, still my hobby. I met my husband through a video game fan group on Facebook, been married for 10 years now and extremely happy and fulfilled. We play mostly RPGs and MMOs (we live above ground, though) together or individually. We both learned English through video games (both born and raised in Cuba) and thanks to MMO raiding, my computer skills (typing included) have greatly increased. Enjoy what you will as long as you’re not hurting another person 😌
Tattoos and piercings are unattractive, gaming isn't.
My girlfriend was indifferent to gaming before we met, no interest in it whatsoever.
I introduced her to Mass Effect, she then completed all 3 of the original version on 360 and also completed Andromeda.
She recently thanked me for opening her up to gaming and that she loves the different, interactive way of storytelling.
We've played coops like It Takes Two together and we sit through each other's single players!
Once the gaming starts, it doesn't stop lol
I’m a woman, and video games are fun. And honestly, if another woman tries to get in between me and the Monkey King, there’s going to be problems. Only my mom can do that. I’m too emotionally invested in that game to stop.
Glad you like it. It's refreshing to have a Chinese game do well that shows their culture. Of course being white and male I can't possibly see myself represented in this material unlike being a blue hedgehog or an Orange bandicoot but I'll just have to suffer through just like all the marginalized groups have.
I was just wondering if White people created movies, Internet and games does that mean it's cultural appropriation for the Chinese to do it also? Nevermind probably not.

@@edorasmarauder5761 It's a joke on social justice infecting games right now. Using woke logic to assert blame on specific cultures to why certain ideas aren't shared.

Now we say Africans have football and English want to play it's cultural appropriation to allow whites to play a black sport.
That's dumb. Female video gamers would probably say that was a good trait.
The problem in my opinion is that when most of these people hear "video games" they instantly think of Call Of Duty, Counter Strike and other similar "arcady" games. They think that gaming is just shooting other people all day long. They don't realize that story driven games are a thing as well.
I strongly believe that games are an art form just as much as movies and novels are. A lot of them have talented writers, directors, actors and composers working on them, as well as awards dedicated to the best of them every year. I'm writing my Master's thesis on video games and their literary value in the hope that they will one day get the recognition they deserve on an academic standpoint.
Imagine complaining about wasting time while wasting your time complaining.
They could be "planning something nice for us" instead but nooo. 🥲
They don't think that far. If you play video games some women find it icky. They don't care if you're playing cod or red dead redemption. These are the same people who listen to Taylor swift and post 13 stories whenever they go to starbucks.
They don't care about what game you play or even if you game at all. Unless you are a pro or a streamer that earns money/status out of it you are wasting your and their time which should be spent on improving both of yours financial/status situations. It is natural and understandable reaction. Subconsciously and consciously women are on a clock and have a limited time to settle down with their partner in order to create stable situation for the family. The problem starts when it becomes categorical and overreaching with no space for a breather and it peaks when is also paired with hypocritical outlook on it (aka it is ok for me to "grow/entertain" myself with my stupid activities but yours are off limits).
I play games for 35 years and I'm a woman. I hate when other women who dunk on men yet they can do a bunch of silly things I find boring. Also no woman should tell a man not to play, it's like a man telling a woman to put on make-up to look better. I have many other not so nice things about the subject but YT likes to delete my comments.
honestly a woman with no make is much more appealing, but the cosmetic industry indoctrinates yound woman early, its all about the money.
Agreed, my ex used to spend 3-4 hours every single night simply gossiping with her friends about the most inane shit you could imagine, never once did I tell her to stop wasting her time with such unproductive nonsense, I just used that time to play some video games in peace LOL.
I'm a 30 something male. I started gaming as a teenager, it was mostly a social activity, we built a group of guys that are still friends today, some nerdy, some artsy and some sporty dudes. I stopped gaming for years because I was supposed to grow up. The mystery cough had me start playing again. I've reconnected with friends far away. I don't own a TV, watch movies or series. I spend around 5 hours a week gaming, and if that's un attractive to women that sounds like a them problem.
I am 50, I still play _a lot_ of videogames and I spend _a lot_ of time gaming.
But I also spend a lot of time reading, in fact my appartment is so full of books I'm running out of space, I get myself busy with 3D printing, with painting miniatures and creating little dioramas, I tinker with electronis, I love to cook (something many women don't know how to do anymore) and I spend time with my niece and nephew, teaching them old-school stuff like building tin can phones or starting a fire with a fire bow. Oh, and I know my way around a sewing machine, try to find a young woman who can say that.

Actually for many people, but especially for high masking autistics, its very dangerous to pass on their ("immature") hobbys. It just leads to autistic burnouts (often confused with depression) or real depression in long term. Hobbys let to cope with life, and strong immersion of gaming is helping to break of from everyday struggles and settle emotions.
@@reynewan999 Interesting that I find this comment of yours after leaving my comment here - because I am an Asperger's and also fight clinical depression for most of my life.
And yes, I am glad I have my immature hobbies, you got a really good point here. Aspies have a tendency to hyper-focus on things we find interesting or annoying, something I know from myself all too well.
Some might think that focusing on hobbies like gaming is dangerous, because the Aspie hyper-focus might turn it into an unhealthy obsession. Sure, this might happen here and there, but _my_ truth is, I am very interested in politics and history and I have a _really_ hard time to break away from it, even more so with all that crap happening right now here in Germany.
And in case I would not have gaming as something that manages to distract me at least for a time, I am sure I would have slipped even deeper into my depression.
Yes, I also read a lot, but this is something that _also_ makes you think. Don't get me wrong here, good games _do_ require and encourage thinking as well, but it's still different from sitting quietly in your room, reading and thinking. Even more so since I read a lot of books about, surprise, history and politics. Hard to explain and I kinda get lost in translation here, sorry for that.
Also, you hit home with your remark about immersion. A good game with good immersion allows me to pull out of the real world and to hit the breaks on those constantly ticking thoughts of mine.
@@Furzkampfbomber Yeah, intense special interest can be exhausting, totally. Gaming is nice alternative.
In one extreme burnout period we arranged with my wife that i zone out from anything unnecesery for three days and forced myself to play Assassin's Creed (i had no motivation even for any entertainment). After free days i was in extremely better state
A turnoff for me is people that dont have any real hobbies of their own & get so clingy to the point they get furious when they see you have fun without them, and god forbid having fun with other people.
What is the difference between a guy playing video games and a guy watching tv? The guy playing the video games is actually using his brain, while the guy watching tv is in shutdown mode. Ladies, you are just mad to see your man is able to enjoy himself without you involved.
The difference is they can nag you while you're watching TV and you can't not hear them....
