Bachelor Contest Winner Chooses PS2, Not Girl

techstar25 writes "IGN is reporting that last night was singles night at a San Francisco Giants baseball game, and a 'The Bachelorette' type contest was held. The winning bachelor was given a choice to either take the beautiful, young, brunette bachelorette out on an all expenses paid date, or receive a Playstation 2. Naturally, the bachelor took the PS2, and 'The men in the audience cheered.'" The article notes: "Looks like when it comes down to a choice between video games and female attention, these days, videogames are winning out."

On romance and video games

My own experience has it that the girl of your dreams is more likely to be somebody you're not really looking for. Oppose a girl sent to you by competition. I mean, come on, that's forced and shallow.

Enjoy your PS2, dude, you've earned it.

FP!

A date is one night, a PS2 is years of pleasure

Sure the date could turn into a relationship, but with a contest situation it most likely would not. Heck, she may not even put out, making the one night just an ordeal!

The Playstation 2 on the other hand is guaranteed fun for a years. So many games, so little time.

A Point

The guy who won the contest was the guy who was most likely to attract a woman on his own. Therefore, he was least likely to need any help in getting dates. So, provided the prize was valuable to him, he's the person in the contest most likely to toss the girl over the side.

This doesn't prove anything about "games being more valued than female attention," and besides maybe the whole thing was a Sony publicity stunt for their aging game platform...
