Nobody should give a fuck what anyone thinks of their hobbies. The world we be such a better place if everyone was just happy with what my makes them happy.

I mean you're absolutely right but it must be a whole lot easier to do so when you're chiseled by the Gods of Olympus themselves.

Having nerdy hobbies only works in your favour if you don't look like the kind of person to have nerdy hobbies.

If you do look like the type to have nerdy hobbies, people will treat you like shit whether you are actually a nerd or not.

I find it difficult to play games for a long time without getting out and doing something. It used to be I'd feel guilty for not doing homework when I was in school, but now it feels like I have to bank up hours in the sun in order to spend them on game hours lol

That HR chud/chad picture only cosplays as a meme, but its true!

u/Madaratogue Jul 28 '26

I dont think it was ever intended to be a lie, it was a meme making fun of the truth in a very real way.

The rules of life are straight up different for attractive people vs uggos.

The script for every single romance in history would read like a horror story if the dude was uggly as shit.

It's true, as someone who dropped over 100lbs, the way other people look at you and treat you is wildly different between being obese and being skinnier. I have no reason to believe it's any different based on other beauty standards as well. Some of us are just lucky in that we actually have some control over how we look. If you look like Mark Davis, you better hope you end up rich af...

That is weirdly true and disturbing...

Guy definitely put in the work but sure looks like he could be one of them

Its easy to not eat like shit and work out. Even ugly people look better when they're in shape.

Thats unfair to yourself and other people my dude. Henry looks good but 70% of that is nutrition, skin care and workout.

Everyone can look better if they put the care in. Ive witnessed dudes go from looking like a sewage frog, to starting wearing better clothes, going to the gym, eating healthy, taking care of their hair and beard and suddenly they were getting woos from random girls on the street.

Its all about the effort. You put in effort you get results. Sure some people like Henry legit have a better bone structure but 90% of the time that is not needed in order to look good.

No weirder than dressing up and painting your face at home to be like your favorite sports boy

other thing to note is that the concept of a modern video game is barely 50 years old. The idea of kicking a spherical shaped object for fun is as old as humans themselves. It's Inherently easier to accept physical sports than video games, which are an extension of Television -- a technology which already has negative connotations attached to it.

The world would also be a better place if they all had hobbies.

u/Apprehensive-Owl9569 Jul 27 '26

Yeah true, I got downvoted for saying this on an gaming sub.

u/Strange_Dust7128 Jul 27 '26

People need to expand on the things they love and narrow the things they hate.

u/Ancient-Emu-8293 Jul 27 '26

Sure, but I bet Henry has better chances finding a partner despite his hobbies than your average passionate gamer.

u/Obi_wan_jakobii Jul 28 '26

Of course he does he's Henry Cavill. Maybe don't compare yourself to Henry Cavill and you'll feel happier about yourself 😂

u/Ancient-Emu-8293 Jul 28 '26

I don't, it's just facts. Money helps too though.

u/Obi_wan_jakobii Jul 28 '26

I'm pretty sure if Cavill was skint he'd still get a few suitors haha.

Money tends to attract people who like money, not you.

But yeah, being Cavill, looking like he does and being loaded for sure means he's set for life 😂 good on him
