Idspispopd had this to say about the Spice Girls:
Interesting observation: While this doesn't hold true to everyone, most of the people with WoW stats on their Avatar agree with Maho, and most without agree with Me...

---

Yet many people with WoW stats on their sig DO have girlfriends and have for some time. Many have active social lives. Me included.

I also write 2-4 game reviews a month for Warcry. I also work at least 20 hours a week for my school's newspaper as the Managing Editor.

So before you go generalize, I'd suggest knowing a bit more about the people you choose to generalize about. You CAN play online games AND have a social life.

Oh. I've never stepped foot in a club. I went to one party and hated it. Yet I still have a social life. I still have a steady girlfriend who loves me for me. One I didn't meet at a club.

While your goals are definitely admirable and are goals that Maho needs to work towards, the same method does NOT work for everyone. I'm not a guy that flirts with every woman I see either. Something else worked for me.

Sure, my brother wonders why I don't go out drinking with him or why I don't get drunk in our apartment. Wonders why I don't try to get in my girlfriend's pants. It is because something different works for me.

Anyway, you're absolutely right, I did generalize. But just having a g/f and having 4 or 5 people you lan with, versus having a g/f who likes to go out and do things, and having 20-30 friends of the opposite sex who you hang out with every day, go to parties, clubs, movies, etc with is a totally different world. It's like comparing an Atari 2600 to an Alienware Tower. It's fun, and you can be perfectly happy with it, but it's got limits that, should you ever try to stretch its capabilities, you're going to top out a LOT sooner.

In other words, be happy in your contained little world, I'm going to make sure I have friends in as many places as possible, with as many connections as I can keep, and with the best girl I can find, not just the first take.

In any case, I plan on attempting to court a friend of mine come the morrow morning. If I fail, I plan on attempting to court my new regular customers that I have developed at work, just by being the guy I am whilst working. They've come back now and are apperently pestering my co workers to know when I'll be working next. In any case.

Go out, have some fun. Meet some people, sounds like that is what you need to do. Don't be a square man.

If you're not a clubgoer, anyways, you may not want the kind of girl you meet in a club. Just be yourself, but you do gotta be out there.

Most girls in WoW are men, anyways.

Falaanla Marr had this to say about Robocop:
Agreed completely. But social health doesn't require a club/party/bonfire/what have you. Social health can involve many things -- a full time job, hanging out with friends from college, stuff like that. Any way you can get out to meet people that share common interests.

College is one of the best ways to have a chance to meet and get out with hundreds of people without needing a party or club. If you haven't gone off to college yet, seriously look into a state college and go off. It was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

You don't need to use your penis to have a social life. I'm much better off now than I ever was and I'm still a virgin.

Yeah, it sounds like Maho isn't getting out at all.

Also, Beta seems to me to be Burger-in-training.

You're 0 for 2 now.

I have:

1 girlfriend.
3 female friends that I met through her.
1 female friend back at home.
3 female friends I regularly eat lunch with.
3 male friends who are musicians and willing to help me to learn if I want to.
3 male friends who I met through playing Yugioh/MTG.
10 male/female friends who I play D&D with, play Vampire: The Requiem with, watch DVDs with, go out to eat with or in general hang out with.
10ish male/female friends that I work with on the newspaper. I can talk with them about random subjects, work with them, or, if I wanted, hang out with them.
2 male apartment mates who I can do most anything with -- gaming, chatting, dinner...

I hang out with at least half of them daily.

And if I break up with my girlfriend? I'll find another girl...

Thing is, I'm actually CONFIDENT about my relationship. We truly love each other and will likely be together for a long time. We've already been through multiple people trying to break us up. It just brought us closer.

I also agree with Parce. If you aren't a clubgoer, you aren't going to enjoy a clubgoer gal. You have to meet a girl that enjoys what you enjoy -- how will you have fun with each other if you're consistently forcing yourself to "enjoy" something that you aren't enjoying?

As for the "best girl I can find" comment? I'd suggest laying the hell off that -- I HAVE found the best girl I can find. She's great in every way, shape and form. She enjoys things I enjoy and just enjoys spending time with me just randomly chatting. She's fun to be around, we get along with each other's families, everything. So...I'd suggest you NOT call her a first take -- I've had other girls in the past that I've talked to and considered dating but decided against for various reasons.

So, what's the next sweeping generalization you're going to throw at me in an attempt to discredit what I say?

omg I have more friends then you!

When did this discussion become some sort of friend-wang-waving competition?

Also, I don't really play video games or D&D or whatever, so I won't make a generalization about those people. I don't know what you feel is happy or not, and I refuse to tell you you're miserable OR happy. That's your call. If you feel that I'm saying something that's so painful to read, and hits home in a manner that offends you or makes you feel that you have to retaliate against me, don't read it.

And to answer your last question, how will he meet ANY girl, no matter the type, if he doesn't get out? He's only taking 1 unit at a junior college, and works security at a self-storage place. So, school and job aren't really the big heavy-hitters in Maho's case.

Sorry, I'll read what I want to read. I'm just tired of the generalizations that people have made in the past in various places (not necessarily here) that gamers are simply reclusive nerds who can't have any sort of social life and their friends who feel the only solution is to go clubbing/partying.

If they enjoyed that...they'd already be doing it.

And like I said at first -- encouraging Maho to get out is a good thing and I admire you for caring for him enough to try to encourage it. But it is pretty evident that the current "strategy" isn't working. So...try something else.

And Yuri -- it isn't. I was simply proving that the statement was incorrect.

Oh god.

Either way, both of you, stop posting. You disagree, get over it.

For the reading-impaired: 'Ted' basically said "Oh, so you countered my assertion that all the WoW players here have no life because they agree with Maho, by stating how you have a girlfriend who you didn't meet at a club or a party. Oh yeah? Well, she must be the only person you have real contact with, because you obviously live in your own little world and have no social life outside of your girlfriend."

I was a pretty fucked up kid before I started getting out of the house. As some of you may remember. While his comments really have no bearing here, it is really, really easy to get absorbed into intercomputers. I think he's just trying to express his concern over Maho and it's just kind of spilling over into sweeping generalizations. Doesn't really make it "right" to say, but y'know.

Hey guys. I spend 2-4 hours Sunday Monday and Wednesday camping ultra high level monsters in Final Fantasy XI and I have a girlfriend.

I'm just lucky that she works during those times.

But I still talk to her when she wants to talk during those events and viceversa.

I think WoW is fine, even if it's a hobby, hell it's mine. But it's a completely different story if someone makes it their life. Maho, my advice (as a girl too omfg) to you is to go out with your friends more often. If you honestly don't want to go to a club, okay, go to a movie or something. Tight on money? Walk in the park. Take a trip to the nearest state/national park and just have a blast. Want to get a chance to meet up with girls? Get involved with your school. Even at junior colleges you have a chance to join extracurricular activities. Don't be afraid to test your limits.

I know WoW may seem comfortable, believe me, it was my "escape" when I moved down to North Carolina from Minnesota, but it's unhealthy to spend large amounts of time in front of the computer. If your job is meh, I suggest finding another. Retail, while made fun of constantly, is a great place to work if you want stimulation. Hell, even a fast food joint. It gets you interacting with people. People can be stupid, sure, but you also find those gems that have done so much in their life and aren't afraid to chat about it. For me, I just started a job at Pier 1. Finished my first day and I've already stimulated myself, I can't wait to get out onto the floor and help people with interior design. (plus the 20% discount is sex lolol)

So yes, this isn't directly related to the question, but it is indirectly, as it's easier to understand where people are coming from if you have the social experience. Don't feel embarrassed right now about your current situation, it happens to a lot of people. And not just with computers. People get sucked into reading, television, drinking [alone], radio, and so on. And, like computers, all are arguably fine if it isn't your life. (Drinking alone is different, IMO, but that's a different thread for different time.) Your friends want you, start stepping out and hanging out with them before they get sick of it. Because, yes, even the closest friends will wear out at one point.

Would make for great dinner conversation.

"What's your kitty's name?"
"Little Parcie."
"How the *censored for kids* did you come up with that?"
"There's this cool dude on the internet, and I totally named my kitty after him. Despite the kitty being a girl. "
"That's totally hot*."

*guy will actually not say this

"I believe that one man will lead us to this future, where all is right and we can finally stop our conquests on the broken bodies of our brothers and sisters. And I have named my kitty after that man."

"moo."

My family just got a Jack Russel Terrier...she's less than 6 months old, and already owns the house. Oh, and she has a big black spot on her forehead. In a joke, I said, "Let's name her Dot Com!"

My brother, who's a lot younger, overheard, and he liked the name so much my Mom agreed to it...
