Sounds like Buttsmacker is a man's woman. She knows what men like and I bet she only really likes a man who goes his own way. I also bet she bites !
I hope they love each other really, often. Thing is this, the whole man woman thing is about making babies, that is what the money is really for. When you have a baby you become like your parent, is that why she doesnt want one ? So who is the child here really ? Sounds like they are matching each other somehow, like for like, but where will that lead, I dont know and to be honest I dont care. Buts its a nice topic.
I think a lot of gamers feel a bit dirty about it. Why ? Because you are just wasting time and have nothing to show for it. It does make people more tech savvy and is more mentally stimulating than vegging with a TV and can be educational but that is about it for benefits.
At 41 I still play games, computer games I mean. Doesnt make me stupid. I play about 2 hours a day three or four days a week. I dont watch much TV which is mostly rubbish, I hate soaps and MMORPG with equal loathing. IMHO one thing they wont help you do is relax, but they can still release tension because they are play and not serious. Maybe they can even help develope a sense of humour.
People used to watch TV to be sociable, it was a family focal point like a hearth and piano in the old days. Current games are not like that, usually one or two players only. I imagine interactive entertainment might try a move into that hearth area sometime but for now that isnt the way it works. Compared to TV gaming especially PC gaming is isolating, dividing you from those nearest to you and I think that is why people can feel guilty about it, it excludes those close to them in a way TV doesnt. There is no point denying it.
