EVE General Discussion

This is fairly ambiguous question as everyones different I suppose, but I would LOVE to hear how people got their other halfs interested in playing eve?

I simply cannot play this game unless my girlfirend enjoys it as well as we met when I took a break playing another fantasy based MMO and now I desperately want to come back.. so far I haven't found anything which has raised any interest and I don't want to keep asking in case she completely goes off the idea.

The main issue is the lack of character I think, so it could naturally change when they finish the WiS patch.. anyway thanks in advance to any replys.

My wife hates science fiction, computer games generally, pretty much all the things I love. She watches coronation street, eastenders, emerdale and horrible crap that I hate.

Works out great, I play Eve, she watches rubbish, tehn we go to bed. Perfect.

Same here we still talk when ads are on im not listening to alliance mates on TS.....as I've said my hobby allows to still be in the home communicate with her and the kids.....she gets to watch 'how do i look' and other programmes which I don't mind but would rather have in the background while I kill stuff win win....I have no interest in getting her to play EVE she'd end up causing massive arguments

I would introduce her to piracy and smacktalking. Ladies love it.

Now that would be an interesting situation

Luckily I have found a women that is like those mentioned above. She wants her space and I get to play my game. Now I just need to get time to play instead of working all the time

This. EVE is my "escape" from stress and everyday BS. My wife doesn't like sci-fi stuff (and especially sci-fi with as much math/physics as EVE). She is a bit of a gamer (she likes RPGs such as the Fable series, and also plays GTA4), and when she isn't playing one of those games, she is watching shows such as American Idol or America's Next Top Model. During those times, I'm playing EVE or doing schoolwork. It works out well, and as long as neither of us lets our activities take over our lives, its a great arrangement.

To the OP: Why can't you play if she doesn't enjoy it as well? Is it because you feel guilty, or because she pressures you / withholds sex if you do something she doesn't like? If its the former, why are you feeling guilty? If its the latter, please check your pants and make sure you still have something between your legs. A relationship in which either of you dictate everything the other can or cannot do is bound for failure and strife. (aka: its not worth it, go find another girl that lets you be yourself - not who she wants you to be)

I am highly suspicious of anyone who hates science fiction. It shows an insane lack of imagination.

Coming from a woman... if she doesn't "let" you play, I say dump her. How pussy-whipped do you really need to be to let someone dictate to you what you do with your free time?

Lol I already have enough competition between my gf and myself with real life stuff like who is making more money, who can cook better or who can run faster. So if we are going to play a competitive game together we would kill each-other.

And maybe this is because I am younger... but I tend to do other things then playing EvE when my gf is around.

You should try to explain and show her the game. When not interested... no harm done right?

This is typical. There are of course some girls who like eve and science fiction but its best to accept that they are rare creatures. I'm not going to pretend I'm interested in some of the crap my wife watches on television and I don't expect her to pretend she is interested in science fiction.

They are a rare creature true. We once had two beautiful japanese lesbian scientists who absolutely loved internet spaceship games, they didnt have voice comms though which was a shame but imagine our dismay when we found out it was really one fat guy who lived in his mums basement...
