[QUOTE="Angcuru, post: 953236, member: 10948"] Hmm...I myself don't fit into the category of the fat slob or the skinny jittery guy. I'm 5'11" *pulls out scale* 170 lb. Hey! I lost 10 pounds, cool.:) Mostly muscle, on my way to but not quite arrived at a 6-pack, farmer's tan from work. I've had quite a few of my female friends tell me that they think I'm cute/good looking, but that's with the glasses off. Contact lenses are a godsend, never leave home without 'em! :D next on the list: Corrective lazer eye surgery. It's getting less expensive by the day. Now that school's out (I graduate HS on Monday, YAY!) I'll be spending the summer in a constant state of working outdoors lugging heavy stuff around, hittin' stuff with sledges, etc(Residential/Light Commercial Construction). Good pay and good physical benefits as well. ;) Let's see, after paying off debts, I'll have about $1,800 in my pocket, and college isn't going to cost a dime. Life is beginning to look up. :) In general, the stereotype is due to the general majority of gamers living on pizza, getting little-no exercise, living in a dark room, the works. It's not that hard to get out of this lifestyle though. Start eating ONLY when you're hungy, and then try to avoid the pizza for the most part, a well-made salad tastes better than you'd expect. When you're thirsty, drink tea, juice, or water(tastes better than you'd think), avoid them sodas. Either start playing a sport, start exercising a bit each day, or get a job that involves a good amount of physical activity in some form or another. OPEN YOUR WINDOWS! Start wearing colors other than black. Get out of the house every now and then. It's easy and you won't regret it, trust me. ;) Interesting group. I take it your avatar is a self-pic? If so, I have to say that you're quite pretty. Hmm, the three other guys in my group: Ron - 'Bout 6 foot tall, on the heavy side, but carries his weight well. If he'd work out a bit he'd be a brick ****house. Kinda pale. Drew - 'Bout 5'6" tall, very slightly on the heavy side, but a strong guy. Pale as hell, but he's Irish, so that's no surprise. None of us, not even him can figure it out, but he has incredible ease in picking up chicks. I'll let him elaborate on that when he gets back to the boards. Chris - 'Bout 5'9" tall, not heavy, not skinny, average. Scores very well in the looks department, it's a surprise he isn't a babe magnet. Jeremy(Me) - See above description at top of post. Care to back up that statement with a pic?:D [/QUOTE]
