.....how did you know, At least I am 6'3 so it gets spread out. Apparently being 6'3 is like a god for RPers so feel free to bow down. I am up to 275 now, but would feel much better if I got back to 250. 10 years ago I ran a marathon (yes a full one) when I was 230. That has been my lowest weight since I was an adult. Let me tell you running a marathon at 235 is stupid. I broke my foot (stress fracture) and then I stopped running all together.
You keep calling it insecurities. Why is it inherently negative to care for the opinions of your coworkers, loved ones, or potential loved ones? Their reasons might be bullshit, they might not, but why outright ignore them?
This is the last thing I'll say about this. There is nobody on earth who literally doesn't care, at all, what other people think about them. However, there are certain things we dwell on that are just silly. If you can't be honest about the things you enjoy you're stifling your own success. Imagine if two people meet, and both are too shy to admit they love playing games and find each other hard to conversate with because that's literally the only thing the two of them really enjoy. They never talk again because they found each other's company uncomfortable and awkward. What would have happened if one had just "manned" up and said "I like to play video games"?
That cuts deep man. Real deep. But it's true. It was sprung on me out of nowhere.
You're missing the obvious. It's not hypocrisy, it's chauvinism.
Ignores the half that don't. I love how loose people are with statistics. So there's 4.5 billion people. We know that the sex ratio usually hits about 51% women vs. men. So that's 2.25 billion women. So 1.125 billion don't have a plan B.
Train and stamp collections. Bitches love that shit. I sometimes forget what website I'm on. A lot of you guys are clueless.
Ugh.....that was the whole point. I was deliberately going for stereotypically old and lame in order to prove that point.
The point was that even though something like fantasy football or those stereotypical hobbies is very likely to be something your date is bored by and totally uninterested in, the worst you're going to do by talking in depth about them is bore your date for awhile. It's not going to be a positive, but it's not a deal breaker either. Talking about video games in depth, however, comes with additional negative stigma above and beyond what is attached to simply droning on about something uninteresting.
