REASONS MEN LOVE VIDEO GAMES

As long as video games have been around, they've gotten a bad rap. But, like all vices, there are some very good reasons guys can't stop playing.

Despite the fact that most women hate games, there are some very good and specific reasons video games are more popular than ever.

According to Guyism.com, here are a few reasons men love playing video games so much:

1. Buddies -- Video gamers aren't just lonely guys in their basement anymore. These days, games bring friends together. They're either playing Rock Band together while drinking beers -- or hanging out together online. Amazingly, video games have become one of the more socially active hobbies you can have.

2. Competition -- Men are competitive, which makes video games the ultimate arena to man up. There's an even playing field and a final scoreboard.

3. Escape -- The only thing that keeps most guys sane is getting away from women on occasion. You can't put a price on the value of escaping the tedium of everyday life. And, nagging women.

4. Fantasy -- Most guys have crappy jobs that they don't love. Video games are the closest they're ever going to get to winning a Super Bowl trophy or saving a princess.

Stay Hydrated -- Dehydration has been known to cause food cravings, so just drink enough water. Water also keeps you feeling full and helps detox your body. 3. Nothing After Dinner -- Late-night snacking can ruin all weight loss efforts because you can easily forget how much you're actually eating.
