To paraphrase: I'm bad at video games. And I'm jealous that all the boys are good at it.

What a stupid bitch... She's a senior in high school trying to find marriage material in teenage boys. Not only that but I'm a girl, I like video games - it has nothing to do with 'getting in touch with my masculine side.' Welcome to the twenty first century! Women don't have to play with Barbies while the boys get to have all the fun. And it's Mario Kart, not Cart, do some research, jackass!

No shit eh, what fantasy land is she living in? Go send her off to Little House on the Prairie without her hairdryer and makeup and see how well she fares.

I don't know what her deal is, but I was able to play video games AND go outside. People can do more than one thing, I know it's a shock.

I've had numerous gaming systems since I was a child, but I still played outside more than I played video games. Video games were something to do when it got dark outside. As an adult, it's something I do mostly in the winter or in the evenings, when there isn't much else to do.

I need a WTF avatar.

Anyway, what the hell? Way to generalize, you silly bint. If you don't like guys who play games, go after guys who DON'T play games. You know, variety? Not every person on earth is the same? I don't like sports, but do you hear me bitching about how all guys like sports? No, because *gasp* they DON'T all like sports. What, you mean there's variety in life?! That doesn't make a very good straw-man argument at all! Wahhh, my fragile logic!

I hate that all-or-nothing mode of thinking you get before you grow the hell up. Could've sworn that kicked in before senior year of high school, though. Maybe not in her little bubble.

Ironically, thanks for the link. I could use a moment of ranting against a very stupid person. ;)
