is there anything attractive about a gamer?

[The Grand Nudger]

Is there anything attractive about a gamer......depends on who you ask, like any question about what might be attractive.

To another gamer, yeah, probably, shared interests are attractive. If the guy/girl's good, yeah, skill is attractive. These are just generalities, maybe a person finds common interests to be unattractive, or finds that someone with a greater level of skill is unattractive.

hrugs: I think hardcore gamers are hot, but I'm a hardcore gamer myself. Is it any different from preferring blondes over brunettes?

I'm not much of a gamer but I have started back into kingdom hearts again. Am I more attractive now?

It depends on way too much to say for sure if dressing a certain way is bad or unattractive. For one thing, "putting on a shirt" is different than wearing it. Initially, when I think of a gaming shirt, I think of something kind of slobby, but with very little effort I can imagine an ensemble that would be very appropriate, even attractive, in certain settings.

What you wear definitely says something about you, but how you wear something speaks a little louder.

The OP paints this picture:
Gaming shirt
Walmart jeans
Whatever shoes
Socks that pass the smell test

This doesn't work anywhere, except maybe a lazy Sunday, or painting a house.

Instead:
A dark crisp gaming shirt (or any belogo'd shirt)
A pair of grey selvedge denim, or chinos
A cloth belt with a snazzy yet down played buckle
A clean pair of white sneakers (or chucks if you want to take the obvious route)
Now you have the option of taking it a little further:
Throw a jacket or a blazer over the shirt
Throw on a watch that matches the other metal you have on
Throw on some rope bracelets
Maybe a cap and some shades

Suddenly this gamer guy looks pretty well put together. It's not hard to imagine him in a setting where he fits in.

I wouldn't wear something like this, being 30yo and adhering to the "dress your age" rule, but if I had to, I wouldn't be mad at this look, nor would I feel unattractive, but that's just opinion.

I was just in class and I saw this big fat guy wearing a megaman shirt and I thought he might as well just wear a fedora and overcoat too. I think of all the game developers I see at E3 as slick talking sleazy salesmen. What do gamers do but take pride in sitting on their ass and completing pre programmed mitigated challenges? Playing games to me feels like being a monkey being used for an experiment for the profit of the devs. Granted some games are good, like amnesia: darkness descends. But come on. Don't advertise the fact that you're a gamer. It's embarrassing.

On behalf of all gamers everywhere, screw you and your attempted character assassination of the gaming community. I'm very proud to be a gamer and I also consider myself attractive in several ways like most of us do. You basically denigrated gamers as neckbeards when the fact of the matter is, more women are gamers than men now and to answer your stupid question in the OP, there are many attractive gamers and qualities about gamers. Honestly for you to sit there and presume all there is to gaming is pre-planned pixels in motion for monkies is laughable at best. As if there is no heart behind games, no storyline, no lessons, no nostalgia, no challenge, no sociability with friends, nothing that makes something worthwhile of your time. Also, I'll advertise my video game shirts loud and proud and I hope I see you on the street someday because I'll flash my Zelda shirt at you with a smile while giving you the finger.

I should clarify; I don't think that being a gamer makes you unattractive. I just don't see why it would makes someone think they're attractive.

Perhaps consider the possibility that people might choose their attire in ways that aren't based around making themselves more attractive to other people. I don't know about you, but unless I'm specifically going into a setting where I need to look presentable I just want to wear clothes that are comfortable for the setting I'm in: I don't owe the rest of the world a designer look. I wear t-shirts and jeans a lot, and some of those shirts have game or comic characters on them, and that isn't for the benefit of everyone else.

Like those guys wearing the video game shirts. I have never seen someone wearing a video game shirt and though that I could relate to them even on a superficial level. I used to be an avid gamer before I got tired of the repetitive structure of video games.

Seems like a problem with you, judging people based solely on a single look at their appearance, than with the hobby. Maybe try not extrapolating a person's entire personality off of the fact they like Megaman next time?

I play videogames and I am hot, my girlfriend loves the sexy time. And I "advertise" my gaming as you put it, even though it's not with the purpose of bragging, I say I'm a gamer as much as I say I watch films or anime or read books, all hobbies that interest me

[Little lunch]

I've never seen a gamer shirt.
Possibly it hasn't caught on in Australia.
Or possibly I live too rural.
Nevertheless, I always admire someone wearing comfortable clothing and not giving a shit about the venue.
I would feel very relaxed talking to someone like that guy that was mentioned in the op. :-)

By the way, Blackout, you made me laugh with,'the sexy time'.
