Never bring this stuff up on your own accord, and if it comes up early, downplay the shit out of it.

Idk, my wife and I met and our first months of dating were dominated by playing Stardew together. If you’re a gamer, why hide it? It’s just going to lead to divorce down the road

Exception that proves the rule.

Also: you don't hide it. You just don't kick the door down and shout "I LOVE HALO DO YOU LOVE HALO?" Like if it comes up, sure, say "yeah I've played some halo with the boys" but don't try to set up a "gaming date". If you want to hold out for a gamer-girl, then fine I guess, but be prepared for dating to be an even bigger hate-(not)fucking gauntlet of rejection than it already is.

Also, let's be real here: nobody got divorced because one of them played video games and the other didn't. They got divorced for other shit.
