    Embellishing? Its still lieing to imply you mostly do broadly interesting things when you actually play minecraft for two hours a day.

    I play rocket league for a few hours a day and I would not be shy to mention that quickly. The person you replied to is right, if you put forward yourself honestly then you might actually find someone who likes you. Girls play minecraft too, in case you weren’t aware.

      I’m not embellishing anything. Ice fishing is a hobby I am more interested in and enjoy more than gaming. I have more good stories about ice fishing than I do about gaming. I also find it leaves more potential to further the conversation. Maybe she likes to fish on a boat in the summer, or maybe they have experiences from their childhood ice fishing they want to share.

      I am a very outdoors person and I’d like my partner to be the same, so when I meet a potential partner, i like to start by finding out if they have any outdoor passions.

        You should probably be upfront that you somehow are an outdoorsman who plays minecraft for multiple hours a day.

          dude, nothing wrong with playing 2 hours of vidya per day if it’s balanced out, thats about 12% of the available time of a day if you sleep 8 hours.

          I don’t get it why gaming still has so much pushback. If he said he watches one overlength movie every day in the evening, there wouldn’t be any discussion here 🙄

            I don’t think the poster has issues with video games, it seems their issue is I don’t prioritize sharing my gaming experiences before sharing my more interesting qualities. I guess i should just have a list of every game I’ve ever played and every tv show I’ve ever watched ready for my next first date that way I don’t “embellish” my lifestyle by saying I like to fish on the weekends.
