CC Widows

[Pedronicus]

Last night I came home from work (8 o'clock-ish)after taking all the goes that I could at work - early rounds (I have no firefox/greasemonkey at work) and said to Julie (Girlfriend) - I need to get on the PC - I'm in a couple of games that I need to play.... I won't be long.

Sat down and started playing my goes.

and played
and played
and played
(I was in about 30-40 games.. I went mad, joining games like it was going out of fashion, after getting back from my holiday)

She started getting the hump, and stormed off to the kitchen, slaming around and shouting about how much f****ng time i spent on that 'bloody computer'

I eventually finished all goes at 11:30 at night, and no amount of creeping and crawling could get me out of the domestic that I'm now in.

I was wondering, how many other players have the same trouble?

And who's closest to being the first person to end up in a divorce court - with your other half citing an on line Risk site (In no way affiliated with Hasbro) being the cause of the marriage breakdown.

I have, of now, enforced a maxium game limit of 20 games to stop me from getting in further trouble with "'er indoors".

Dear Steve says: I prescribe a wild romantic gesture to cure the problem at least until you do exactly the same thing next week.

Send her for a relaxing spa session this weekend; she'll think you're fantastic and while she's out the house you can feed your CC addiction online.

Just make sure to light a couple of candles and have a bottle of wine open and the computer turned OFF when she gets back.

Dear Scorba says: Buy her a vibrator and tell her to GFH.

[Pedronicus]

From the above 2 answers I deduct that Steve gets laid more than Scorba

[hitandrun]

CC has given me a slightly different problem with my better half.
She is normally the computer slave, now I'm eating into her LJ time.
I keep telling her LJ is a pile of proverbial .... for kids, then she points out I'm playing an online board game.
Hmmmmm, time to invest in two computers maybe?

[kc-jake]

I'd go with the opposite answer. The guys here seem oblivious to the fact that girls like a guy who's a dick. Then again, most guys here have proven to be pussy-whipped, so I guess it makes sense.

Dear Jake says:
Stick it in her deucer. Or, do what I do: only start games between Mon-Wed. By the time the weekend rolls around and you're only in 5 sequential games, the woman-unit (who insists on spending every waking minute on the weekends with me) will put up with 5-10 minutes here and there to make moves. Forget about a spa or any crap like that; she doesn't need you to get that for her, it'll spoil her. Just get a moment with her and apologize for spending hours online and (this is extremely important) that you've made changes to avoid this happening again.

And just to remind you, don't ever spoil a woman. Remember: if she doesn't feel like she's lucky to simply have you around, either she'd better be a supermodel or you'd better be ugly as sin. If neither is the case, don't ever spoil her... she'll expect it again later.

And although my advice seems counter-intuitive, trust me on this one: I have a hot girlfriend and I get sex at least once a day. In fact, just the other day she stated that we should have more sex. So follow my advice, and you will find that not only are you happier, but she's happier as well.

my girl hates this site with a passion,( you love that computer more than me)seems to be said on a daily basis,

[wicked]

All I'll say is listen to Steve.

[Tr0y]

^^ ditto

[gordon1975]

dosnt matter what i try im just not allowed 2 go premium,so im hoping i can win a tourny at some point

[MeDeFe]

Who needs a relationship as long as there's CC?

[reverend_kyle]

Kc makes some good points... girls like guys who are assholes.. ti makes them seem less womanly.. thats the last thing a girl wants..

[wicked]

Wow, some of you are really clueless... maybe when you grow up and start dating you'll be even more clueless.

What's funny is that what women say they want and what they actually want are rarely the same. This is because women don't know what they want... they are attracted to their two favorite colors: green, and shiny. If you can't provide those two colors (or don't want to), the next-best option is to be a MAN, not some pansy.

kc-jake, if you can only spend 5 or 10 minutes online while your "woman unit" is around, then I think I'd be careful about throwing the term "pussy-whipped" around. If the shoe fits.....

[Fireside Poet]

griffiths is right. I've done that and it worked like a charm. If you computer is on, make sure your speakers are off, unless it is playing MP3's of smooth jazz for that candlelight and champaigne.

Another note: Dressing at home for this occasion in a dress shirt and tie does wonders too. It says "I was thinking of you all the time, baby"... then after whatever happens happens, proceed to login at 4am to CC to resume normal activities.

I can spend (and have spent) 2 hours online with her just waiting around. However, in order to avoid the fallout of hearing her complain or having to pay for things like spa treatments, I have chosen a different path. Besides, she lives out of town and comes in town for the weekends, I'm not gonna be a complete dick and ignore her the whole time. The key is to be a dick (but you have to be at least mildly funny half the time) but be willing to be nice here and there. Relationships are about compromise... namely, her compromising.

[mrdexter]

Introduce her to Medal of Honour and Call of Duty, show her how to play them online. Also, as a reinforcer, introduce her to Tribal Wars and get her to joing the HTW-R tribe.

Then she'll spend just as much time on her PC as you do on yours.

Works for me.

Steve's approach made Julie smile and nod in agreement.

But Jakes approach is winning me over. Does anyone know the phone number of a decent lawyer? (Just in case it all goes pear shaped)

Dude, my tactics are only to be used as a starting point. If you've already become bitch-whipped, then you're hosed. If you give a woman an inch, she'll demand a mile. If you try to take back that inch, you'll lose the woman. In fact, if you don't give at least a couple hundred feet after that inch, she'll leave you too, although she'll stick around a little bit longer. She has to expect you to be a dick, it can't be unexpected.

So yeah, I don't date supermodels. Big deal. I'd rather have a 7 or an 8 who knows how to act and melds with my lifestyle than a demanding 9 or 10 who wishes for the moon and expects it. At least with the 7/8, she dreams about the moon but is realistic enough to know she'll never get it.

With a 6 or below, it's best to keep them as friends, f--- buddies, or to "wham, bam, thank you, ma'am." Or just avoid them altogether. So as you can see, my advice isn't necessarily meant for one-time use or even one-person use, but as a way of treating women.

And as a disclaimer, because I can just see the fallout this could cause: I do respect women. I just won't be taken advantage of and I am no worse than any other guy, I'm just honest about my choices.

This is why scorba is lonely in love

[A Mans Part]

I think KC is right. stick it in the 2 hole.

It's all gone wrong Dear Steve...

I took your advice and this weekend sent her to the Spar.

When she got home - The computer was turned OFF and the candles were lit... But she went apeshit at me, for driving off from the Supermarket, and leaving her to walk 2 miles to get home, with a weeks worth of shopping pulling her arms out of her sockets.

I wish I had put steak and frozen peas on the shopping list as my left eye is now badly swollen.

Pedro........... Dude... how dense can you be? I have to conclude that there is no hope for you...
did Steve say ANYTHING about adding to the romance by going to the supermarket?
Was she supposed to cook you dinner too?
Oh THAT would make me REAL happy....NOT!

I have to say that I'd dump you... not for the CC addiction, and not for being a guy, but for being REALLY dense.
But I'd be happy to wrestle with you in a game, where gender doesn't matter.
