News: Looking for player two? dateagamer.co.uk, the UK’s first dating site specifically geared towards gamers opens for business today.
Stop living vicariously through videogamings famously loved-up couples and give dateagamer.co.uk a punt.
According to last years research by Playr2.com, the average gamer spends 22 months playing games in a lifetime. Factor in sleeping (318 months), school (43 months), working (128 months), six years of eating, five years queuing (probably at midnight launches, amirite?), four years tidying up, a couple of years at the cinema, not forgetting a full year playing iPhone games in the throne room (the crapper), that doesn’t leave a monumental amount of time for dating. It leaves about half an hour, in fact.
The newly launched dating site, dateagamer.com, recognises that gamers are too busy to woo a mate in the “traditional” way; bars, clubs and whatnot, and reckon you should spend a small portion of your internet browsing lifetime (five full days a year, since you asked) and look for your perfect co-op partner their way.
How else will you produce an heir to inherit your achievement point fortune?
Dateagamer.co.uk founder Tom Thurlow: “It is reckoned that over two-thirds of men and more than half of women in the UK now regularly play video games, so it’s about time they had access to a niche dating website packed with members sharing the same interests. With dateagamer.co.uk gamers can make friends, have fun and find Mr or Mrs Right. It sure beats giving the eye to an avatar all evening!”
You said it, buster.

Lovely idea, but I’d bet serious money that at least 80% of the people signing up will be male, and within a month the majority of the initial female users will have left after growing tired of receiving thousands of mindless messages from the male members.

I predict a relatively small pool of active members with a noticeable gender imbalance, leading to serious problems with stalkers, scammers and bots.
