[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 2179552, member: 23977"] Just felt the need to chime in on this thread... A large amount of the real world is boring to everyone... Doesn't mean there AREN'T people out there who enjoy the same things you do. I enjoy those same things. I enjoy rading, writing, gaming, philosophy, movies, art, video games... But I also workout and go to bars, and clubs... I like to dance, and I can talk to girls!!! OOOOOHHHHH I used to be like you are. I wasn't very proactive. But sometimes the good things come to those who wait philosophy can be perverted in a bad way. (Like the dark side you know?) I found that if I went out and took hold of my life, more good things happened, and I finally felt good. :) Neither do I... Well ok that's not true, sometimes I do, because sometimes it's fun to laugh [b]at[/b] people not [b]with[/b] people. But not everyone who enjoys other hobbies then D&D and Sci-Fi is like your example... I was that way to before I started exersizing. "I don't have the time." But I realized it was an exscuse. Exersizing does a lot more for you then just make you look good for other people. Sure it does do that, but that also increases your self confidence, and gives you more energy. (Which also increases your confidence.) So the poster who said you end up sleeping less was right... You have a lot more energy to do things which ends up giving you more time... It's kind of neat. Also you're a lot more healthy, and will live longer. Which I guess kind of means you have more time overall right? Thats good. I personally don't think you have to dress to the hilt at all times. Personally I enjoy looking good to the opposite sex. It gives me more confidence. I tend to dress "well" most of the time. If it's gaming night, I'll usually throw on something "comfortable" but overall I dress "well." I shower just about every day. It helps me wake up and feel good. There are some days when I'm lazy and just sit around all day and I don't shower. I think it's important though to be hygenic... It's important to "be yourself" but dressing well and taking care of yourself won't change that. I saw Fight Club to, but that's fiction... If you started liking a new game system would you no longer be the same person you once were? We change every day, but we're still the same person. Looking presentable and taking care of yourself does tend to make people treat you more seriously. It isn't bad to be presentable for the sake of what others think. It effects your job (co workers tend to treat you with more respect, it's even easier to get a job you want) your social life (I like having girls dig me, again confidence is boosted...) and gives you more energy. I agree with this statement. Socializing is a skill. I used to not have it and figured I just wasn't good at it. I even invented exscuses for myself as to why I didn't try... Then I got over it. I started doing it. Sure it was awkward and weird at first but you get better at it. Personally it started becoming fun... Especially talking to girls... it's like a weird psychological game. :) in anycase... This post was too long and who really cares about my opinion anyway. :p [/QUOTE]
