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

[dacarr]

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!

"Better the hand you know than the hand you don't" is what I always say. If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.

The Playstation here is categorized as excercise equipment, as long as the controllers are manipulated virorously for at least 20 minutes, 3 times a week.

Um, of course, it was San Francisco? While I'm sure the breeders still out number the non-breeders, there's a pretty good chance the guy "wasn't interested."

Or, at least that's what the gal will be telling herself for some time to come, no doubt...

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

[cjmnews]

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.

Yeah, but you have to keep spending money on the PS2 to buy new games. Wouldn't that make it more expensive in the long ...

Wait, nevermind.

Reasons why a PS2 is better than a woman

[HotNeedleOfInquiry]

1. A PS2 can pleasure you 4 weeks a month.
2. The only part of a PS2 that whines is the fan.
3. A PS2 doesn't leave the toilet seat up.
4. A PS2 doesn't complain about other PS2's

I've got to get back to work...

Re:Maybe the guy had a girlfriend?

[Tuxinatorium]

I have a revision to your theory that looks*intelligence = constant. Since there are plenty of women who are both stupid AND ugly, such as Rush Limbaugh, this principle does not hold in general. However super-smart hot girls are as rare as top quarks. The few exceptions are rips in the space-time continuum. Therefore I submit that looks*intelligence k*Q^2, where Q is the supermodel-stupidity quotient (SSQ) and k is the Really Fucking Lucky (RFL) parameter, which equals e^(does god like you?).

aww, that's an easy choice!

Take the one that comes with a manual!!

A Point

[ronfar]

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...
