      There’s nothing wrong with gaming as a hobby.

      But if it’s your only hobby, maybe branch out a bit? Especially if you’re single. Great way to meet people and form bonds over like interests.

      I don’t know anyone who’s only hobby is gaming who isn’t single. Admittedly, my sample population is kinda skewed, but of that group I don’t know anyone with a few varried hobbies who is single either.

      Unless you’re happy being single. No joke that’s perfectly valid too.

      Bunch of my high school friends I still game with several times a week, plus a few friends we’ve met along the way. We find it funny how in school jocks would pick on us for having Counter-Strike LAN weekends, but now we hear those kind of people all the time in FPS voice chats.

        Women are statistucally more likely to be “casual” gamers, and more likely to play games on mobile.

        I admit that I very casually have about 600 hours in Snowrunner at the moment, and my wife has very casually completed The Witcher 3 about 500 times.
