I don't think of classifying myself as a gamer. despite being the biggest, fatest basement dwelling faggot in existence Being a gamer is something you actively do and live by. Not use as a chit-chat, conversation starter, or to get attention.

>>
>>332005385
I don't tell anyone I *am* an *anything*.

I don't tell people I am a "gamer". I tell people I play games.
I don't tell people I am a "bookworm". I tell people I read books.
I don't tell people I am a "trekkie". I tell people I enjoy Star Trek.
I don't tell people I am a "cheesehead". I tell people I watch the Packers games.

Giving yourself a label to make yourself part of some clique group is fucking stupid. Just tell people what you enjoy doing. You don't have to pretend your life revolves around it

The only way a set up like that would be acceptable is if he was sponsored by them and got all of it for free, but I doubt that is the case.

no. i've told people that i play video games after they asked me or after it came up in some way, but i will never fucking call myself a gamer

I really dislike the term gamer since it's tied to stupid marketing and it sounds like something a poser would call himself to be accepted by others. I usually keep games and other things to myself and only bring them up if someone else starts talking about them.

Fuck people, if they ask you about yourself try to be as much of a normie as possible, else they get some retarded ideas about you and they try making "funny jokes" with the shit you like.

>Wearing obvious game related clothes.
Disgusting.
>>
>>332009264
pretty much this, I can't imagine a conversation about video games being interesting if the kid is wearing an assassins creed t-shirt. I also really like to talk about production, the industry itself. When I was younger most of my friends were into programming or something artistic games were an extension of that, not the end all. Doesn't feel like I meet too many people like that anymore. Nobody I could be like.
>lets make a game for shits an giggles or
>lets build some cabs and make our own arcade

Telling people I like games is a no go.

I've meant a lot of people who fall in one of two categories

>The tryhard EMT, knows everything and will always second-guess you because they don't trust you. Tends to be weeaboo as fuck, often looking at reddit/4chan/some streaming site when not on a call

Only on that part of OK Cupid that asks for your hobbies. It's been pretty successful so far. A lot of anime chicks on there surprisingly.

I'm not going to go out of the way to hide it, but its not something that i'm going to just bring up. I would rather talk about my books and boardgames if anything.

Filter is your friend. I just filter out black, in relationship, and gay mothers.

Make sure you answer strongly to that question about them being the same gender they were born as. Don't make the same mistake I did.
>>
>>332010741
It's just the line of work. Fortunately I work with some good people but I've been here for like 4 years and if I suddenly had to find a new job, I'm acrewed because I like my band of misfits.

Since we're on the stubject of online dating sites, are there any sites out there with similar interface of matching people but solely for friend finding? I'm at that point in life where'd I'd rather be searching for people with common interests to befriend with rather than finding fuck buddies.
>>
>>332013472

Well if you're an attractive women you could just be an asshole and use these dating sites to do that anyway. Plenty of people in the same boat.

If you want a serious answer use Craigslist.
>>
>>332014137
Craigslist? I don't think I'd be lucky trying it there considering most ads are for sex.

>using stupid terms like that ever

I don't call myself a "guitar player" I just say I "play guitar." Just like I play video games and read books and watch movies. I seriously can't think of one stupid label associated with a hobby that I use to refer to myself.
>>
>>332015391
>>332015391
But I'm a man, that defeats the entire purpose since I'm looking to find people around my whereabouts with common interests who might wanna meet up

>befriend women
>implying they have anything interesting to say
>implying they like cars, vidya, anime and talk about current worldwide events

What could possibly go wrong.
>>
Its never really brought up in conversation.

A girl from work has a GBA emulator and Pokemon on her phone. I noticed she was playing it when we were waiting for a bus and another coworker together. This is literally the only experience with video games and non-friends I've had.
