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.

I'm sorry to intrude but...

The bolded is just... not true. In order to find a gamer around here, you need to dig deep. Male gamers are rare as hell and usually when you find them, they only play one genre (sports games). Girl gamers are downright mythical.

As for not being hostile to the pasttime... yeah, that's probably easier to find. But answer me this: if a girl is not a gamer herself, wouldn't she probably resent you over time for dedicating so much of your free time to something that she isn't  able to understand, or share with you? In my experience and observations, yes. Yes she would.
