24 years old with a steady job making about 45k/year as a part timer.
About a year and a half left of my mechanical engineering degree. I have a steady relationship with my GF going almost a year strong though we have been BfF,
But I am tired of people judging me because I game. Just because I game does not make me a loser or someone not going places.
Stop judging me for
My gaming habits. Also I am not fat, I am quite active working out and playing ball.
So why all the prejudice against gamers?
Edit: People think I am BSing about my salary. [b][i][u]sales and commission [/u][/i][/b] is the answer. I say I work part time because of how my company classified me. I work 36 hours a week! They classify FT as 40+. My last job 32+ was FT
Edit2: seems like there are a lot of veteran Gamers! Props to all who have a lot to juggle and make time game.
Edit3: I love seeing the different demographics! Wish I could respond to all of you.
Edit4: Despite what some people think, this is [b][u]NOT[/u][/b] a Destiny Dating thread
Edit5: Thanks for all the support and giving your opinion for this matter. Yall are pretty funny with your comments. Continue slaying the darkness

5 Replies18, year off of school before college for marketing and human resources. I skateboard in the summer and I played volleyball and wrestled in high school. Where I live the winters are very harsh with an average of -25 to -40 everyday so I don't leave the house too much from December-March. I play games for hours everyday but where I live it's understandable to do so, amongst my friends anyway. A lot of people would think I'm a loser for it but it's time that I've spent enjoying myself so I don't really care.
