It goes with the old nerd being fat stereotype.
blame the 80's.

I mean it's a pretty simple stereotype, considering most games will just have you sitting on your ass all day. I'm pretty skinny myself though.

Overbabies are the biggest cancer on this board.

gamers are stereotyped more as just being out of shape, whether extremely thin or extremely fat. good reasoning too because you sit on your ass all day when you just play video games.

and yes the stereotype is true. go to any convention for gaming and you'll find a good 75% of the people are out of shape. the other 25% take care of themselves but they are the minority.

probably because sitting on your ass for hours at a time leads to obesity

here have some gamerfuel

Don't be dumb retard.

Eating like a fatass makes you a fatass, you can eat properly and sit around most of the day

Nerds don't play sports, so they are obviously either lardasses or 90 pound weaklings.

>Do you fit it, Sup Forums?

Yeah, for some reason i'm getting hungrier by the day, and i don't know why.

i'm worried about it, since i'm gaining more and more weights.

Of all my coworkers who play videogames I'm the only one who plays on PC (the others are split between 360 and Playstation 3). And of all of them I'm the only one overweight.

Stereotypes exist for a reason.

OP, here. Not an American but I hear you guys use husky to describe bigger people. How does a husky person differentiate from being muscular, chubby, fate and the like?

hit 25 yet?

I've been on the border of unhealthily underweight for more than half my life.
So no.

what the FUCK is that supposed to even be?

>tfw skinnyfat but started bodyweight routine few months ago
Feels good man
Didn't see much visible results yet but I guess these things take time

The only fat thing in me is my plump rump.

I don't eat much so I don't gain weight.

Why hasn't there been a Dew flavored Dorito yet? That would actually work, the opposite wouldn't though.

most are skinny fuckers

>was 230lb
>dropped down to 170 with extensive exercise and counting calories (pretty much just make your own food and no junkfood, really probably the best food I've eaten in my entire life during this span), in 6 months, bodyfat way down.
>got bored of being fit and bumped back up to 180 with no exercise eating whatever the fuck I want
>it's all fat, but atleast I'm not a smell ugly fatass anymore
Worth it, in 6 months of work, an hour a day plus cooking time, now everybody respects me just because nobody respects fat people and I'm not fat anymore, I'm just smart and witty javascript:;now.

184cm 100kg here
I was never an athlete and never will be

I'm thin-ish, but that's because metabolism.
I think the biggest thing is not drinking a shit-ton of soda.

I was a skinny fuck as a kid, but when I moved out I wanted to go out as much as possible and as such I barely used the computer, from the age of 19-25 I started exercising a lot and I still do, I'm now back into gaming but I still make sure to exercise and eat healthy, it really helps with burnout and you feel more focused and dedicated too, so it actively helps with gaming.

But yeah, from my experience a ton of gamers have issue with this, they sit down and are inactive for long periods of time, they may binge eat and even lose sleep, I just don't think it's worth it, no matter how far down the drain your life goes, if you're in good shape, you're already a couple of steps ahead.

not with that attitude you wont. Don't think of it as being an athlete and all that the word implies. Think of being fit as being a better stronger faster version of yourself for the low low cost of 6 hours a week

I know that feel
>was 120 lb skelly
>worked out for a few years, got up to 160 of mostly muscle
>get chicks hitting on me
>eventually realize most girls really are shallow whores (not all, just most, like how most men are shallow retards as well)
>stop giving a fuck and drop back down to 150
the older you get the more disgusted with normies you become and just do your own thing. it's liberating but also depressing sometimes.

Because it's an addictive sedentary hobby.

Even the skinnyfags bragging ITT probably have developing health problems that won't know about until they're in their late 30's.

172cm, ~76 kg. I'm not obese, but I feel heavy. Jogging isn't working, though I think I should train harder.

25 what, kg ?

Don't know my weight anymore, can't tell precisely now since my balance's digital screen is half-broke

All i could get out of the hieroglyphs was 102-108 or something

>you can eat properly and sit around most of the day
You're still fucking up your body.

Good job man!

Yeah it kinda sucks, that's why to stay fit you need to do it for yourself, not for others.

The best way to deal with this stuff is accept beforehand that everyone you meet is shallow unless proven otherwise, and that they will judge you on their first look, you can use that to your advantage or not give a fuck.

Personally I find having a nice body a nice thing, it makes ME feel good, then come the rest of people that find it appealing, but first and foremost, it's for me.

I just meant your age. Metabolism slows down at some point and you'll be hungrier but still gain weight

Straight cardio (ie jogging for an hour) never works friend.

Obesity is genetic. There are many fit gamers and many fat non-gamers.

>what the FUCK is that supposed to even be?

I've been curious every time I've seen this webem but I was never able to find the original video, even going through his horrendous channel.

Played gaymes since I was 7-8 and never been overweight. At one point I was underweight and had to take supplements. Maybe I'm skinny fat but I now make sure to go jogging daily.

I am 6'3" OP, and weigh between 70-80kg at any time. I am the "hungry skeleton" of weight categories.

>The best way to deal with this stuff is accept beforehand that everyone you meet is shallow unless proven otherwise, and that they will judge you on their first look, you can use that to your advantage or not give a fuck.
Yeah I used to use that to my advantage but eventually after mingling enough with normies (I hide my power level like fucking crazy) you realize to be very cautious around women who hit on you right away. They're either crazy, whores or both. After all if someone is hitting on you just from looks right away, who is to say she hasn't done that with a bunch of other guys and you're so special?

I think for me it was fun at first but once you see past their shallow exterior and there's almost nothing going on in there except them attempting to impress guys as much as possible for dick, you make a choice to either just care about sex or learn to filter those people out.

i wanted to take a photo of my belly and show so that other people can judge but after realizing i'm as hairy as a gorilla decided not to do

>Do you fit it, Sup Forums?

I swim 2.5km in 40 minutes 3 times a week. I run 5 KM in 20 minutes 2 times a week. I bike 30 to 40km once a week.

I don't lift, I'm not cut, I have high body fat because I love cheese, but I am still fit as fuck. Cardio of the gods.

london

I sit on my ass all day at my computer or lying in bed next to it and ive never been fat. I overeat all day. I eat more than anyone in my house am always hungry and i literally get no excersize or work a job. And im still skinny. Only just now got a lil flab on my ass u cant really see

>Jell-o

Cancer in a box that's what it is

I started getting fat, now I go to bed hungry and still get fat

I need to work out

hi nathan

It's just a slightly nicer way of saying "fat".

193cm/65kg
I fit the skinny and no muscles type of stereotype nerd.

Maybe you are pregnant.

Just a quick question regarding losing weight. Should I take up swimming or keep cycling? Also how would running/jogging be for me?

Oh, Well not yet, 21.

Went again on the balance, and i think i read 117, or 177, really can't fucking tell when half of it doesn't work.


For now i only have a very noticeable beerguts and mantits, but it's starting to leak on the sides lately.

I never had a huge interest in people or relationships so I just saw right through that bullshit and never gave those people my time.

People are really shallow and it saddens me, especially women. And the ones that aren't shallow are not shallow in a bad way like they're retarded feminists or women's rights bullshit people, which in my opinion is even worse.

At least with men I can have nice conversations about interesting stuff.

I'm in Barcelona, wanna visit me and hang out?

Oh well. What do you recommend to cut abdominal fat?

yep. I'm fat white as the driven snow male who has got glasses and a beard. Not a neckbeard though i shave that shit off.

a calorie deficit + time. If you want a quick jumpstart look up ketosis
be proactive about it m8

Everytime a random user show his face he turns out to be fat.
It's really sickening, fat people are the worse.

Swimming is fucking phenomenal, yes take it up.
You can also keep cycling, but swimming just feels better desu and there's so much variety in how you swim.
Running is also good, but you should keep running for intensity cycles (ie. 3mins med pace, 1 min really fast pace, 3 mins med pace, etcetc).

Interval training mixed with a sport you really enjoy (swimming, skating, biking, climbing, etc).

what?
this is what a gamer looks like today

pls post i bet ur hot :3

>eople are really shallow and it saddens me, especially women. And the ones that aren't shallow are not shallow in a bad way like they're retarded feminists or women's rights bullshit people, which in my opinion is even worse.
Yeah I have met chicks with actual passions for stuff but from experience you can usually find them when they don't take a lot of care into their appearance, which actually makes them way more attractive when you see they're actually into things.

The chicks who are dolled up or you can tell just put so much time and care into how they look, typically don't have real hobbies or if they do and you're familiar with them, you'll find they know next to nothing actually about them and just wear them as another accessory.

Wear a bra.

When someone turns out to be fat and play video games, there isn't a connection between them. It's just because that person is american, and there's literally not a single person in america of normal body weight. Fuckin gross country desu

All of those are cardiovascular exercise, but swimming engages more muscle groups than any of the other activities

If you're asking a question like this it's indicitive that you're missing out on some key fundamentals of 'what actually causes you to lose weight' so I suggest looking that up.

But swimming will be the most effective for what you want. Burns lots of calories, employs a lot of muscle groups.

>Barcelona
Y aqui yo pensaba que seria alguin genial pero en realidad, la mayoria de la personas que vienen de alli son muy arrogante. Espero que tu no te llevas de esa forma

>The chicks who are dolled up or you can tell just put so much time and care into how they look, typically don't have real hobbies or if they do and you're familiar with them, you'll find they know next to nothing actually about them and just wear them as another accessory.
Isn't this just as shallow as the group of girls you're talking about?

Walking and weights are best exercise, the less burning the better as oxidation causes aging. Losing weight or just maintaining it is 90% diet and probably 9% genetics, 1% activity (you can see this when around 1 in 10 people are just naturally skinny despite bad eating lethargic living). Working out high intensity (cardio or full on aerobics) tends to make people put on weight in many cases due to slowing of the metabolism after the exercise has completed. It also makes you crazy hungry. 30 min walks every day are ideal and even doing up to 1-2 hours, but no jogging or running.

Diet basics = no sugars, no softdrinks, no food with sugar in them, no carbs, no starches. The best is to stick to veges and meat during the week and spoil yourself on the weekends, but still stay away from sugar and desserts. Learn to use stevia in coffee and tea to trick your body while you have sugar craving during the week.

Source: lost 40 kgs and kept it off for 10 years, also became a naturopath.

No, you're not.

I hate this nu-male shit. it's literally "Haha look how MANLY I am because I can grow a beard. I'm lumberjack core :)"

Seriously know a few people who started getting into that retarded shit and they just post on normiebook pseudo 'manly' phrases all the time or post them doing something 'manly' like making a bbq. It's fucking annoying.

>The chicks who are dolled up or you can tell just put so much time and care into how they look, typically don't have real hobbies or if they do and you're familiar with them, you'll find they know next to nothing actually about them and just wear them as another accessory.
This actually makes me feel a lot better, for some reason. Thank you user.

Yes, you are. Everything must be in moderation, including sitting.

Can I be a 'true gamer' if go to the gym frequently and gain muscle and have a decent social life but still be the same awkward kinda guy that has Figmas and anime posters?

Also forgot to mention that orange juice or fruit juices are not healthy alternatives to softdrinks. So many people think this but are just turning into diabetics because of this.

Ask and you shall receive

caring about what numales do is just as numale as being a numale himself desu neko chan

>Isn't this just as shallow as the group of girls you're talking about?
No because this is actually how women in America typically are. If you don't believe me then experiment and go out and meet more. This is something I realized after over a decade of socializing with many groups of people and paying attention to trends in how people behave. There are common patterns in human behavior that are somewhat dependent on the time period they live. The people who disagree are usually ones who haven't been exposed enough to current society so they don't believe that pattern exists.

I'm no fucking price by any stretch but watching E3 or SGDQ or fighting game tournaments I am actually fucking disgusted by now little most people in gaming take care of themselves, in terms of health, clothes, body hair, just everything. It's not even only the gamers just look at the lardasses over at Giantbomb and almost everyone who sat down on their couch.

That's what masculinity has become. Looking the part, not living it.

I bet the barafags will be happy you do

But how is it not shallow, is the question. Have you gone beneath the surface with any of these experiments?

youtube.com/watch?v=3fnkN2THloM

I can attest to all of this as well, however I think the biggest takeaway (at least for me personally) is cutting out soft drinks completely. I haven't had one in four years and have actually lost my taste for them. I've felt a whole lot better since then and doing that trimmed off a significant amount of weight in and of itself.

I'm not arrogant at all!
I'm very sweet and gentle, I'm a lovely person, or so does everyone say.

I'm not from Barcelona though, I was born there but I lived my 20 years in a small village in the coast up north, I just moved to Barcelona for studies and work about six months ago.

You're right, it's horrible to see the stereotype be confirmed of "i'm a girl gamer xd" when they try to talk about it and it turns out they know jackshit. Some are genuine about it and will try their best to know about the stuff they claim to like, and those girls you can have nice conversations with, but for the most part it's just another accessory they use to attract guy's attention.

How is it shallow? He's pointing out how shallow people have a borderline fake interest in something or their interest in something is so shallow they know next to nothing, which essentially translates in these people not being vested into said hobby/interest.

That's not shallow, It's a prejudgment.

It's actually one of the absolutely vital social abilities we have as human beings.

But I would never expect a person with autism to understand nuanced social interaction.

I'm concentration camp-level thin and I can't bulk/muscle up because I drew the short straw in the genetic lottery.

I don't watch any of that but I did stumble upon one video once for SFV tournament, and both guys playing were pretty ripped. One white and black guy, can't remember their names. Most who play dudebro franchises like Madden and CoD take care of themselves.

Look at this shit Sup Forums, why the fuck i have all this hair? What's the fucking point?

These weren't experiments, it was me paying attention to people and yes I've gone below and known many people beyond a surface level. Yes when you get to the knitty gritty, everyone is different because we all have a unique set of experiences, but when you zoom out just a bit you'll see certain people act and think in an extremely similar way to the point they're almost identical until you go into extreme details.

Of course this doesn't apply to every single person, but it does apply to the vast majority in different ways, hence why stereotypes exist.

Is that supposed to impress me? I do more than that in an hour.

>It's a prejudgement
But the opposite isn't a prejudgement because it comes from a woman?
>But I would never expect a person with autism to understand nuanced social interaction.
What a peculiar thing to say. Could this be projection?

Crazy right? Like why are there no fat basketball players?

What about tea, so long as it's not in excess?

Dog I'm not going to walk up to a black dude in all red in the middle of Compton.

Shut the fuck up.

Zoom back out, I want to see all of you :3

I guess their kneecaps would explode after so much jumping.

kek

Are they really extremely similar or has there been a sort of bias among the observations?

Yep can confirm. Chicks here are way more shallow than dudes, times have changed. They can get pretty much any type of guy they want where as many dudes just settle for whatever and make it work. The divorced guys I see are the ones who married out of their league so to speak, (lookswise) but are normal hard working guys who get abandoned because of shallow chicks.

>be proactive about it m8
I'm alright with being a fat sonofabitch, the only thing that worry me is my growing hunger when i eat more calories than a fucking athlete.

>MFW skinny as fuck no matter how much I eat

I just can't gain weight, it's not like I'm a fucking skeleton or anything, but it's like I have the body of a woman, I can't grow body hair worth shit, and I struggle to gain any kind of weight.

>tfw can't swim, so forced to run even though swimming is a vastly superior excercise

>I love cheese
Ok, Charlie Day

Don't bother replying if you don't want to discuss shit. It's actually a very simple concept.
Stereotypes exist, and yes quite a lot of them are factual, but this doesn't mean that it isn't shallow. Defense mechanisms often times are just that - shallow.

>grew up playing sports and vidya
>chad nerd
>however I wasn't social
>after 2 hours of sports I'd go straight home to vidya for 4 hours
>in college I did 2 years of sports because I wanted to work and play vidya instead
>only did gym and vidya for a couple of years
I'm 26 now so I'm kinda slacking on vidya and gym. Job, wife, and baby. I started getting bored of vidya and started watching netflix because I never really watched tv. I'm glad I grew up playing sports, shit was fun. I'm too busy so I rather just sit my ass down and play vidya. Recently I found raquetball court at my new city in the gym, shit's insane, but again I'm too tired after work to do shit like that. It was good being a kid with lots of energy and no job

You'll find that statistic is true for everyone basically. Only a small percentage of people work out enough.
