    I don’t think the poster has issues with video games, it seems their issue is I don’t prioritize sharing my gaming experiences before sharing my more interesting qualities. I guess i should just have a list of every game I’ve ever played and every tv show I’ve ever watched ready for my next first date that way I don’t “embellish” my lifestyle by saying I like to fish on the weekends.

      To be fair, you are the only one that has said they are embarrassed to tell people you play a video game.

      Also fishing on the weekend is for dorks, grow up already.

        I never claimed to be embarrassed, i just claimed it isn’t my most interesting feature and don’t put it forward when meeting someone new. Id rather talk about my job or other more interesting hobbies.

          I’m sorry I was being a troll a bit there. I would say to be more clear, if the person asked you directly what you do after work to relax, I’d say you should probably include the minecraft otherwise I would consider that a lie by omission. Its a trivial ultimately unimpactful lie, but it does say something about someone’s character if they are ashamed or embarassed of their own hobbies.
