\"Gamer<\/a>Although editorial top lists have dominated the Interweb’s blogosphere since, well, the start of the blogosphere, this recent list courtesy of Complex Magazine is actually pretty damn stellar. \u00a0This past January the gamers behind this very-popular newstand publication put together a\u00a0surprisingly\u00a0comprehensive (surprising for a top list, not from Complex) top list on the 10 Dumbest Arguments Made Against Games. \u00a0And yes, while you may be aware of all ten of these, I would wager you’ve never seen this much thought and effort to compile all of these arguments into one complete product. \u00a0Some made me laugh, while others made me mad, but most left me frustrated – not from the writing, but rather because our industry still has to prove the folks who still believe in these ridiculous gamer stereotypes<\/a> wrong.<\/p>\n

For those wonderful single gamers who have already experienced the stereotype-free, online dating experience that is LFGDating.com, we thank you. \u00a0For those that have yet to take the free plunge, we understand: gamer dating websites have been nothing but an embarrasment to the gaming industry, but LFGDating<\/a> has already begun proving gamers wrong. \u00a0At LFG we focus on relationships, acting as a truly professional<\/a>, stereotype-free venue where single gamers can find love with single gamers, and we have had a truly remarkable beta testing season. \u00a0In a month-long, advertising trial run this past Spring, we proved to our private investors, and to ourselves, that not only can we attract male gamers, but a high ratio of female gamers. \u00a0Yes, just like Complex’s “tenth dumbest argument against games”, women not only play video games, but they play in spades; in our month long trial run, 48% of our registered users were female gamers. \u00a0Do not adjust your computer, television, or mobile screen, because you read that correctly. \u00a0LFG Dating is the only professional, 100% homemade, and integrity-driven gamer dating site out there, and we can’t wait for you to sign up!<\/p>\n
