What it comes down to is: will the woman play New Super Mario Bros. Wii with you? Or Mario Kart?

Sometimes you can't really judge that till after you've dated for a while.

I wouldn't of expected my girlfriend to play those games with me, but she later turned out to really enjoy it.

From Mario Kart, to Trauma Center to like.... Gladius.... the SRPG for gamecube that had the most tacked on co-op in the hisotry of gaming.  (You press start and 2nd player takes control of half the characters... removing the need to pass the controller... i guess.)

There's two reasons for this.

1. Me and the wife are of the opinion that the current state of gaming in popular culture means there is no excuse for gamers to get into long-term relationships with non-gamers - or, at least, people who are hostile to the pasttime.

2. Mario games are excellent ice breakers and can make for a very good, very relaxed date with absolutely no pressure.

Being hostile isn't really the same though as just never doing it and not wanting to try something out of your comfort zone with someone you don't know that much.

It isn't fun for a lot of people to be terrible at something infront of people you want to get to know better.

Plus, the state of gaming in popular culture is a relativly new thing... and it's even newer as far as girls go.

A lot of girls have no negative feelings towards, but still do see it as a thing "guys do".
