Why do men like video games?

I am a man.I tried playing Call of duty Black ops with my friends and it was boring and hard.My friends say it's "relaxing" when it was pretty stressful to me (Probably because i'm terrible).What's so good about video games?They are overpriced and boring to me.The community on these games are awful also.When i talked to the guys on the microphone they kept calling me ****** and telling me how bad i am (which i admitted).They also got very excited when women joined the games.I only played 2 hours and i am completely turned against video games.My friends want me to buy an Xbox and call of duty though.What should i do and tell them?And can other guys tell me why you like video games so much?I said why do men like video games because every single man i know plays them.Excluding myself and my father.
