Frankly, gym for me is a duty to stay in shape, but I find it very boring.

And women don't want to be bothered in gyms (except by the same sexy trainers), hence they put these earbuds all the time, Duh.

Would you do it if it mean you’re life would just be working and gym?

I do it to stay in shape and for health reasons, not more not less.

You avoided the question
If it meant all you’d do in life is go to gym and go to work nothing else would you still go to the gym?

Would you go to gym if it didn't take up much time?

Are you unfit or do you just want to get in shape?

Frankly I don't understand this question, in what world I would end up like that? lol.

Well, let's suppose I live in imaginary world where going to gym and to work are the only things I am allowed to do, then yeah, that would be tad better than just going to work, no? O.o

I'm guessing sly doesn't live near his gym and has to take a bus there. My gym is literally 5 -10 min drive from my house.

By the time he comes home from work, has something to eat, gets the bus to the gym, works out, gets the bus home, the evening is gone. But then sly, you do work part time so have more free time than those of us who work full time.

I, for example, am broke, unable to obtain a job that pays decently, suffer from anxiety and lack social skills, have minimal relationship/sexual experience, am overweight, and whatever self-esteem I may have had in the past has been entirely beaten out of me by society and life. I am very much aware that one of the contributing factors to my chronic singleness is the fact that I have absolutely nothing to offer.

And which of these flaws are you willing to work on?

Too much gaming (or any in house activity) may be a symptom of social isolation, not the cause of it.

Me as an example, I’ve never turned down a social event for the sake of gaming or watching tv, but If I am staying home all the weekend and no one is inviting to somewhere, then I would end up gaming/tv/browsing/reading most of the time to kill boredom.

It’s that or lay around crying and feeling depressed about how horrible life is.
I try to avoid that as much as possible so I play games as much as I can, there’s not enough games to fill all my time sadly though.

Lucky!! I have the opposite problem. It seems like I'll never get through my backlog of games.

I could get a place on my own but why?
I’d be totally secluded from all human contact besides work. Doesn’t seem
That’d be a benifit to my mental health and I’d cause my family to become homeless and they’d hate me for it. So I’d be cut off from my family who is the last humans alive who care about me

While your commitment to keeping your family housed is laudable, don't knock living by yourself until you've tried it. It can be very peaceful and relaxing. The silence is golden.

I wm sorry because I haven’t found your post stating this, but how old is sly exactly?
I myself am 18 and have no job at all, but attend college and have had no problem with women. However, I am in college. A 50 year old virgin who still works in retail and plays video games all the rest of the time may be more of a problem for most women.

Also, I can confirm that too much gaming is usually to fill a hole in your life. In HS, it took up all my free time due to lack of social acceptance (autism was mostly not a factor, generally intolerance of interracial relationships and jealousy at my academ8c prowess were more common). I gound my home in college, haven’t gamed in months, and only feel a tiny bit of desire to return.

Sly is 30 working part-time retail. I'd imagine he doesn't earn enough to move out of his parents' house bc even if he wanted to, hence my sighting that as a problem.

Because most women don't want to date a guy who's 30 and living with his parents. Also, independence, and you could move to another city/state where the man to woman ratio isnt so skewed.

Then again there's Asian women. I've had Asian women get mad at me for not living with my parents.

"Why did you leave your mother to live alone?" is what some of them said to me. Asian women would truly respect you for staying home to look after your parents (not that other people shouldn't).

My "gym" is directly outside my door.

Being a runner is grand.

But you could go to work and do things you like instead. I think most people would pick being able to do their hobbies and interests over going to the gym.

As for situation if you ended up in mine that’s the choice you’d have to make.

I know the feeling. I used to go for long walks almost nightly. Those were pretty dark times, and yet I can think almost fondly back at them because of those walks, among other things.
