Mike, 25

What's the best reason to date a World of Warcraft player?

Their incredible attention to detail. Since a World of Warcraft player has to do dozens of quests, has to know the roles of ten to twenty-five other players in battle, and be completely prepared for every raid, it's rare that a World of Warcraft player will forget a birthday, anniversary, first date, hair appointment, etc.

What has World of Warcraft taught you about dating?mike

The value of compromise, in game and out. In game you learn that sometimes you need to put the priorities of others above yourself, like if you're raiding and another healer needs a new piece of equipment that would only be a small upgrade for you. Out of game, you need to work with your significant other so that you have time to raid and also to spend time with them.

What's the best way to ask a fellow player out in real life, without coming off weird?

I've always felt the best way to ask someone out, in game or not, is to try and keep it casual. "Asking milady for her company" is always going to be awkward. If you've gotten friendly with someone in game, it should be easy to suggest meeting up in the real world — like meeting up for a night of Mario Kart, since you already know you both enjoy gaming.

I peeked at my boyfriend's phone when he wasn't looking, and saw that he still gets a lot of texts from his ex, even though he promised me they never keep in touch. How should I address this situation?mikeavatar

I feel like this depends on what the text situation is. If they're getting all hot and heavy over the texts, then you should speak up. On the other hand, if it's just his ex being clingy and he's not responding, then you should let it slide. Sometimes a guy would rather avoid the issue then explain to you every time his phone buzzes.

There are tons of crazy photos of my girlfriend on Facebook of her from her college days, and it makes me really uncomfortable to see all those pictures out there. It sounds possessive, but I don't want them on the internet anymore. How do I deal with this?

This is something you can totally bring up to her. She may even have forgotten that some of those pictures are still hanging around and would want to get rid of them herself. Just want to warn her that more and more employers are looking at prospective hires' Facebook pages. Nobody wants to lose out on a job because of some drunken college pictures.

It's rare when a guy can make me come, but my vibrator has always done the job. Is it offensive to bring it out when I'm with a guy, assuming that he won't be able get me off?

A lot of guys get turned on when a woman takes control in the bedroom. By telling a guy exactly what he has to do to get you off, even if that includes using your vibrator, you can make it more exciting for him. If you're in a relationship, then you can bring it up like, "Hey, why don't we try something a little different this time?" When he sees how much you enjoy it, it'll be a lot easier for him to handle.

No one cares what attractive WoW players have to say about sex.

Brooke is wise beyond her year. I wish she was milady.

According to Brooke:"people who spend a lot of time in front of the computer tend to have excellent imaginations — the brain is our most powerful sexual organ" and also tend to have saggy fat asses and lack of the vigor required to fuck like imagination dictates.

I myself sometimes struggle to make ends meet and wonder if I have to re-locate, and how that will affect my own relationship. Its good to read some advice from a few peers and see that there are options that won't put too much strain on our relationships.

This article is bullshit and Nerve.com paid ringers to fake it. I work in the video game industry and all the WoW players who fired up the game on their terminals during their lunch breaks, even the ones who go home to their WoW wives, are not people I'd trust with advice on my sex life.

Totally true about how someone's deep-seated vices come out during play. I dated a WoW player who had like 15 levels on me. Wouldn't even throw me a scrap to help out. He'd also buy high end electronics and charge the bills to his dad's company for himself (mice, joysticks, monitors, HDs) and would "forget" to get me anything.

Wait, so you wanted him to steal shit from his dad for YOU ? HAH!

I play WoW with my husband regularly. Not only is our sex life exciting, but I have lots of interesting and successful sex advice. Let's not pigeonhole WoW players. In fact, I'm a RL black female who WoWs 30+ hours a week. If nerve.com can ask barbers and hairdressers, they can ask WoW players.

every rule has an exception but when someone has the need to live in a ROLE PLAYING GAME thirty fleeting hours a week, theres a problem.

Fuckin tards, how do people not grow out of video games even a little...

The guy who's worried about it being too soon might be worried because of the idea that there's a timeline when such things ought to be done and if one does not adhere to it something is wrong. I think this is an unfortunate state of affairs because all people and all relationships are different.

I play WoW and dated 2 other WoW players...we had sex all the damn time and couldn't keep our hands off each other. There are also a lot of couples that play together.

Trust me there's nothing hotter than fitting in that quickie before raid time! >:)

If your too busy making love, practicing love, talking or chatting about love advice then how are you gonna win season 9 PVP gear?

Fast answer: You can't because you will never be leet. Ever period.

Go ahead and type /loveadvice, but in WG I will own you with my one shot fireball, I crit at at 85% at 9.9k dmg with no buffs. Divorced wife, gave away dog. Sometimes you have to sacrifice what you love for power.

WTF Mike, a WoW player can't forget someone's birthday. I've seen a guy show up to raid who forgot it was his OWN birthday until someone pointed it out.

"Sometimes you have to sacrifice what you love for power."

I agree completely. Who needs love and sex, when those things fade? Power is eternal.

These individuals do not resemble the WOW players I have met IRL in any fashion whatsoever. I mean really. I didn't see a single pile of empty pizza boxes or Mountain Dew 2 liters anywhere!

ok..for everyone who thinks WoW players are all fat over-weight losers who never get laid. Go take a quick look at some stats. Nerds not only make better lovers, but we have more sex and more relationships on average. and i mean in person, not over the internet.

in closing.. FOR THE HOARD!

my boyfriend and i are both in the horde. he got me to play wow a few years back and its been awesome. we connect in so many levels now that we're both lvl 80 clothies and after a good raid run, we have really good adrenaline fueled sex.

just make sure you turn off your vent cuz you dont want your other party members eavesdrop on your private moment O.O

Aug 21 10 - 2:47am

lol and its really awesome when he gives me presents like on noblegarden, when i was still lvl 40 ish. he took me to nagrand to a place with a great view and we both got the blushing bride achievement and he got me flowers from dalaran. later that night he came over and we had some mind blowin sex. woohoo.

I am a soldier, and a lot of us play WoW believe it or not, and we are for the most part in great shape(cant speak for all soldiers) Now if only I could get out of afghanistan(deployed) and meet a female who is interested in gaming. I know they must exist! LoLz

the very sad thing is that many have made fun of WoW players and say we dont have sex. the sader thing is they must have less time than us off of the computer because they take the time to stalk us and read our articles just to talk shit to us. so who is worse??? the one who likes a relaxation from real life or the idiot who doesnt understand it and spends all their time in envy of us?
