Try to pick up gamer girls, they will understand.
I thought I would add a bit of reality to Gamer Girls...or at least share my experience and hope OP will be able to learn from it:
Background
I used to have an attractive (attractive = long black hair, C cup, quite cute according to Western and Asian standards, curvy in all the right places) asian gamer girlfriend who played a lot of WoW and occasionally league of legends/SC2. I am a recent university grad (she is too), now working at a respectable job in an office setting earning middle income salary and I am quite a young fellow. I myself am Asian.
Reality
Although it would seem like a nerd's wet dream to have a asian gaming gf who plays wow wearing nothing but panties (actually the sheet-crinkling was amazing though....) I have to honest, most girls that I would marry (marry = wife material such as responsible, has her own hobbies that are physically and mentally healthy, sincerely passionate towards other human beings, cute in all the right ways, etc) would never do that. It is cool for girls to play and be emotionally invested in video games, but any girl (or guy) who isn't emotionally, physically, financially responsible for themselves is not really worth your time in the long run (long run = marry). I hope you won't have to learn this the hard way though OP.
My problems with my gamer gf included:
- some dad issues that manifest into high emotional security (ludicrous jealousy)
- unaware of her own materialism
- obsessed with her looks, and easily stuck-up about it
- no life goals
- unable to "grow up" and unable to accept/learn from "life experience"
- now just a normal "waitress" who spends
all her spare time raiding, worrying about her hair length, how others physically view her, and other menial things. Nothing wrong being a "waitress" but the guys who worked with her do nothing more than drool all over her. Nobody really needs those kinds of friends.
"Easy come, easy go"
If you're looking for fast pussy, it will leave just as fast. After a year or two, you'll start to feel empty from it because it's always the same thing (even if it's a different girl).
If you're looking for a fast "gf" or "wife", she will leave the moment things go sour and is convenient for her. She will also take 1/2 your total assets
If you find a girl who always smiles at you passionately, treats you with respect, treats herself with respect (not the same as stuck-up), is responsible for her own emotions, finances, etc, then please hold on to her or get to know her.
Back to helping OP
You might feel that you need to "pick up" girls, but anyone who is sincerely kind, respects everyone around them, and has a good attitude (learning, family, can deal with adversity, etc) that is worth your time can't be "picked up". Any good girl won't need to be picked up and won't play hard to get. If the girl is pretty and of relatively young age, she might be a bit stuck up and you may have your work cut-out for you, but at the very least you will not need to impress her via money. A sincere person can easily feel the sincerity or lack-there-of from another person. There is no short cut.
As for topics of conversation, a lot of previous posters were correct: Hobbies, interests, world news. Good job already maintaining your body. If I may suggest, read New York Times every other day. Learn the new words and try to use them. Each day try to do one thing that improves your own life (learn a new word, practice a non-computer-gaming hobby, cleaning up your room, etc). Over time, those
habits (hobbies, new things, world news) will be sprinkled into your conversation and it will let whatever girl you've set your eyes on that you're an honest, worldly fellow who, although isn't good looking, has little monies and a stupid-ass diablo 3 farm, is sincere about life and about her. That's how you "pick-up" a girl.
