Written by a true pickmeisha. Why is this behaviour accepted, but only for men? I cannot see anyone thinking it would be okay for a woman to spend hours ignoring their partner and children.

First of all, women don’t have a problem with their man playing video games. They have a problem with their man being addicted to video games which causes him to be passive in the relationship and lazy in all aspects of life.

Secondly, women are rarely able to afford a time of “peace”. When women say they need time away from their husband and kids they’re looked down on and chastised. That’s why I’m so sick of “man caves”. Why does he get a man cave when his wife is the one doing the majority of cooking, cleaning and child rearing and on top of that she has a full-time job? Like, what in life is making you more stressed out than she is to the point where you need to create a separate room where no one else in the family is allowed?

People act like a man having adult responsibilities is so burdensome that his peace takes priority of that of his wife or kids.

Imagine being grateful that your husband works and doesn't cheat. The bar is truly in hell.

Guys, it's okay.. he's SAFE

Ms_Tilly · 2020-04-29T16:17:04+00:00

This was a FB post complete with a picture of him playing right in the middle of the living room. If you're going to game for hours, with a family, at least do it in a private area.

Edited to add, I don't condone a man with a family doing this instead of spending time with his family.

She’s energized by writing this because her friends are with men who barely come into the house except to eat, fuck or sleep. So by having him within her line of sight playing video games, she feels relief. I bet if she didn’t buy that game system he wouldn’t be there having long conversations with her in between gaming. Look at how she outs herself by saying WHILE the games are being played. Why can’t you have convos after he’s finished? Either he’s on there all day or going to bed right after. Lol

Some women just don’t realize things don’t have to be this way.

siberiansummer · 2020-04-29T16:20:40+00:00

Oh this is soo annoying to even read 🤮

PsychologicalBeat2 · 2020-04-29T18:53:14+00:00

lmao why is she emphasizing the word "SAFE" so much, it's not like he's off fighting terrorists during the day

but whatever helps her sleep at night i guess

PaciencaYFe · 2020-04-29T17:32:23+00:00

Many guys are even unable to hold a conversation while they play.

Change “video games” to “porn” and it still holds true for them

understatedalways · 2020-04-29T18:12:41+00:00

So, I have to be content with the man doing the bare minimum of not selling drugs on the street and working to provide for his family. The BARE minimum it takes to not be a flaming asshole. If he does those things, he gets to ignore his wife and kids by playing video games every night? Pass. I have higher standards than that.

saydeesalt · 2020-04-29T18:33:57+00:00

Someone that plays video games for hours on end and/or daily is the equivalent of an alcoholic or pot head in my mind. They do it to escape reality.

herbstzeit · 2020-04-29T19:19:24+00:00

LMAO I saw this dumb shit on FB. All these guys are tagging their girlfriends... if my bf ever tagged me in something like that I would legit dump him on the spot. So pathetic and trashy. These guys straight up want a foreverMommy.

"hE's SaFE" stoooppppp

brokeash1t · 2020-04-29T16:24:15+00:00

I’ll bet he “provides” not a cent more than 50%

LadyGrimes · 2020-04-29T16:32:05+00:00

What does she say when hes looking at porn? "I see a man looking at other women who are more attractive than me. It's okay it's his fantasy. My house is on fire and I'm surrounded by flames but this is fine!"

Blackishcat27 · 2020-04-29T19:50:05+00:00

Usually though they just put on their headset and literally tune out everything going on around them so good luck having a conversation.

EclecticBarbarella · 2020-04-29T19:05:37+00:00

I dated someone once who had what I would consider acceptable video game usage. Maybe once a month on a super lazy Sunday he would turn them on, play for like two seconds and then ask if I wanted to play (I enjoy video games occasionally but am not an avid gamer anymore) and then we would trade off rounds for maybe an hour or two, talking about the game and whatever until we were bored. It was very inclusive (and he would always choose a game he knew I liked) and it was extremely rare. We dated for six months and I think it happened two or three times through the whole time. Next guy would game for hours and expect me to sit there and “support” him, then get irritated when I left to do my own thing because “we were spending time together”. It was ridiculous.

Nikita_kitty93 · 2020-04-29T23:08:21+00:00

I couldn't help but laugh at her stupidity..

Mean_Green_Kween · 2020-04-30T06:43:11+00:00

Poetmeisha out here writing fucking sonnets about her man playing vidya 💀💀💀

queencarter · 2020-04-29T17:48:13+00:00

Preach. No male worth anything is playing videogames past the age of 16.

radical__daphne · 2020-04-30T01:10:54+00:00

By "SAFE" she means not cheating on her and she's super grateful!

ivy176 · 2020-04-30T02:42:30+00:00

Why would my fiance be on the streets? What does that even mean? Cheating? Dealing drugs? Being on the streets doing harmful things isn't even an option - there's no option for him to even want to do that. There's also no option for him to not work unless he became severely physically disabled.

It's not video games and be a normal person, or no video games and be a cheating drug dealer. I have no reason to feel that my partner's safety us so at risk. She's talking like her partner was getting shot every week and she's just glad he's alive.

Plus loads of guys would be so annoyed if you spoke to them while they were playing a game.

rinabean · 2020-04-29T16:03:06+00:00

I’d rather have my man do something other than play video games, but I think it’s okay for someone to have a hobby that doesn’t involve the other person. I would encourage my man to take an hour or two to play guitar, as long as he gives me time too.

sadcello · 2020-04-30T10:56:32+00:00

Women work too, we went to 'war' too but how many of men will treat us like this and give us the 'luxury' of checking out from housework and spend time on our hobbies. Fucking stupid pickmes thinking they have a good man when what they have is a lazy man who ain't no care about her or his kids.

2020-04-30T11:43:59+00:00

As a former game addict I can say there's nothing "safe" about playing games for several hours a day. Never again. And never dating men who do this.

As long as YOU DO THE BARE MINIMUM you can slob at home as much aa you want bb

SaFE from "the daily war" no less! This is equal parts tragic and hilarious.
