  • The 12 steps to getting your wife to play civ 3



    Many of us want to play civ 3 with that special person in our lives. Sadly, these women have no desire to play, this is because they either hate video games or do not understand the fun that civ 3 can be. The following it a 12 step process that you can use to get your wife to PLAY civ 3 with you. It is about a 80% guarantee that she will play part of a game with you ONCE, it is up to you, and how you play with her, and how much she enjoys the actual game, that gets you another game. There really is no order to these steps, but you must do them over a weeks time, maybe 2 depending on how much she is willing to play. If your wife likes video games like mine it will not be as difficult to get her in the chair. Remember this only gets her in front of the computer in the chair, it doesn’t guarantee that she will play for ever and ever. (By the way I have 4 sisters and a wife, these things work for almost anything)

    1. Paint her toenails
    2. Make the bed 3 times
    3. Make her dinner twice
    4. Do all the dishes at least 4 times
    5. Watch 2-3 chick flicks
    6. Give her tons of verbal affirmation
    7. Wash her car
    8. Change her oil
    9. Moe the lawn
    10. Take out the trash before she asks
    11. Pick up your underwear and do your own laundry
    12. Give her money to go out with her friends

    If you have done these things, your score with her will be very very high. People all over town will be hearing of anomaly of a husband that is you and you will be lifted high in eyes of many women, especially the most important one, your wife. Now she will tell you how sweet you are and she will ask you what you would like her to do for you (Do not mention her doing anything for you because of all you have done for her, ever! Let her bring it up first. If you bring it up, your points are gone, and in bed her back is turned) Now is your chance. At this point some men will abandon their quest to play civ 3 with their wife and pursue other conquests. These decisions can be difficult. If you choose to play civ 3, make sure you request, but with repressed excitement. Now that you have her in front of the computer it is up to you how to play. Here are some suggestions:

    1. She wins period!
    2. Create the world yourself, you get crappier land than she does
    3. Put yourself close to her so you can protect her from the computer
    4. Include some computer players to give somewhat of a challenge, select the easiest level
    5. Consider turning accelerated production on, she may get board with the long wait.
    6. Name some of your cities after the pet names you have for her
    7. Watch another chick flick with her after you finish playing, even if it is for only 5 minutes

    If she ends up liking the game great, you don’t have to wash as many dishes.

    Good luck!

      i only know 1 female interested in computer games... but she's the hard core type. counterstrike, half life, UT2k3, maybe even a RTS game... but i can't imagine any woman i know, dedicating days for a turn based game like civ3. (it's a waste of valuable days of their life for them... time they could spend in clothes shops trying on clothes they anyway won't but )

      if women are from venus, video games are considered a deadly sin.

      p.s. sorry to the few exceptions like moonsinger and chieftess. these girls must have done an exchange year on mars

                Your profile says you were born in October 1986! That makes you 16 years old. Don't worry about it man you got plenty of time to find the right girl. Don't start worring about that until you are out of college. I got married when I was 28. There are plenty of single 20-something girls looking for a guy that has it together, has a career, not the beer drink'n jock they dated in high school.

                Besides that statistics are in your favor the world is 51% women, last I heard...just don't move to China or Alaska.

                  Won't work with my girl (not married, but we live together) I've done basically the above, and she still won't even try it. I'll give it another try at some point, but that's a lot of work for a partial game of civ.

                    That's not what I meant, it's not very normal to be married at 16, I know that...

                    What I meant was, too bad I don't have a wife so I can try all those things mentioned in the first thread...

                      Is that a serious comment...My cousin-in-law had a controling wife like that. You know the georgous blond in-to-themselfs mature type. She was 19 year old...2 years later she divorced him because she was board.

                      Tell your friend that most guys have a hobby like playing video games, and she is lucky that he is not a hunter (maybe he is I don't know) where he is gone all weekend smelling like deer piss. I wouldn't marry a woman who dictated to me what I can and can't do for enjoyment, just like I don't tell my wife what she can do for enjoyment.

                          LOL, sorry

                          Yeah, I took some time selecting my wife, but since I have been married it has been fun. It's give and take, I don't get to play video games all the time, I get to watch HGTV, Mad About You, and every chick flick that comes out

                            Good call caliskier. She doesn't have to like it, but she can't just expect you to stop just because she would like you to. Next it will be you can't go out with your friends, then you loose all your furniture, your wardrobe gets replaced., you can only read appropriate literature...
                            There has to be compromise. Weakness and always giving in isn't what makes a relationship work.
