I don’t know about that. Having geeky hobbies may be correlated with social awkwardness, but I know plenty of perfectly well adjusted guys with girlfriends who enjoy them.

I’d say the point is to have a hobby where the women aren’t depicted as soft-porn fantasies. that just isn’t healthy for long term prospects. eventually, you (not you personally) are going to find that most women just aren’t that impressed by the stereotype.

Also, if you joined the Navy, you might die. And adolescent fantasies are fun. They may be lame, but I’m okay with that. I’d probably be pretty lame no matter what I tried.

try the USAF, they’re totally safe. fantasies are cool, just keep them in check.

I do agree about socialization though - I would not do those things if I didn’t have people to talk about them with afterward.

well, ok… I see your point. having people to talk to is what’s important. that’s why guys playing tabletop games are higher up the ladder than WoW gamers who don’t interact with anyone live.

You seen at least familiar with geek lingo for something who isn’t too keen on, er, geeky stuff.

I like train wrecks. doesn’t mean I want to be on one that’s wrecking.

Hooray, I’m not in the lowest echelon of society! 😃
 
I love to watch hockey, but during commercials, there are all kinds of beer commercials with improperly dressed women and they’re often shown dancing. It’s out of the question for me to watch those, so what I like to do is bring out my dhikr beads and make dhikr (it’s an islamic devotional practice that’s somewhat similar to the catholic practice of repeating certain prayers whilst counting on rosary beads). It shuts the door so lust can’t come in.

Although there are some cases where, out of nowhere, images of lust shoot into your mind. For that, I try to set my mind on something wholesome and righteous.

“Don’t misquote me again!” whines the poster who claims the OP wants to “defend the castle against flying sporks,” the most ludicrous hyperbole in this thread so far.

You mad because someone is beating you at your own game? :tsktsk:
