12 - 25 year olds would be the largest demographic that play a lot of video games, many of them violent. It just so happens, in males, at the median of those ages, they would generally be at their sexual peak. Go figure.

What a bunch of crap stating the obvious .

"Our results suggest
that addicted individuals may be striving for social competence
and connectedness, but may be spending too much time gaming to
accomplish the goal of effectively connecting with others."
I understand it to say that they are playing video games to enhance their value as a potential "mate", yet failing because they are playing a video game, not being in the real world with real interaction with real physical people.
