I've met men who fit your profile, and I've met men who don't. My husband, for example, is a video game-playing man in his early 30s who is realistic and responsible; who hasn't lost interest in me, his partner, after over 6 years together; and who keeps up better with current events than I do. We haven't had kids yet, but considering his desire to and his current devotion to our niece, I'm pretty confident that he's going to be involved with them when we do.

I think the difference is twofold: identification and breadth of interests. Men who identify as "gamers" and who lack interests outside of gaming tend to be as you've described. Men who do not identify that way and who consider gaming to be one of many interests or an occasional leisure activity tend not to be. This obviously will not follow in every case; it's only a trend that I've noticed.
