I can't say my experience is typical, but i grew up in a house of all girls and my parents definitely raised us to be girls, and video games apparently were not in their repatoire of acitivities. I would love to do "guy" things, but by the early twenties, trying to do vid games is like saying "oh my boyfriend is tony hawk, so to get close to him I'm gonna take up skating."

Its more like you have to pick from the things you already mutually share, or learn something new together, and then go from there.
