Even the ones who are employed do it though. They come home from work, grab a bite, and go directly into the spare bedroom where the gaming console is set up. No, this is bigger than just that. It's like women being shopping addicts. The men are gaming addicts. Maybe it's biological-- men hunt (games) and women gather (shopping). But whatever it is, it's rendering the young men just as unappetizing as the young women.
It is biological, because men have an inborn desire to conquer worlds, whereas a woman will see games as a time filler between activities.
I think a good compromise is to set a reasonable time limit, say 1/2 hour or 45 minutes and then save the game and tend to the honey do list and attention to the wife.
