    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.
