I thought watching sports would have been roughly equivalent to vidja games.

As someone who doesn't watch any sports I'll just note that I, too, do not enjoy getting up in the morning. I do anyway, because I have things I need to accomplish most days. I think maybe he's projecting a bit; if you don't live a life of leisure, you get up in the mornings because you need to get poo poo done and its more convenient than waking up immediately before whatever it is you have to do. This is part of being a functioning adult and has little to do with hobbies, its just something you do. Your hobbies should come during the times when you don't have poo poo to take care of and should probably include things you actually do, rather than things you watch other people do, no matter what it is that you are doing and/or watching other people do.

Streuth it was a figure of speech gents, I don't literally mean if you have no hobbies life is like being trapped under a burning mattress. I can only speak from experience, I went from zero hobbies to having a bunch in the space of a couple of years and it rules. Even if you never get the time to do some because you're too busy with work or family they still give you something to look forward to.

For me, the minimum time should include potential time spent dealing with stuff you didn't think about. If you don't account for that kind of thing and end up late for work whenever you are in traffic or when something goes wrong, then that is a direct result of childishness in not preparing for the day adequately. I also think that people who do this (getting up with barely enough time to get things done) are often virgins because the opposite sex rarely wants to make love to wo/manchildren who aren't in control of their life.

Veryslightlymad posted:I think the worst part is how ungrateful some people are about it. Like they don't realize that another person has given them a gift, and they should be goddamned thankful for it. Playing with, loving, sharing happiness with another human being ought to be the easiest thing in the world, but it's not. Show some drat respect. I meant to post about this many pages ago but goddamn is this post stupid. Enjoy this quote from ages in the past. Guess what, dummy, anybody you know who has a significant relationship in their life is never going to tell you (specifically you) how they feel about it. You and people like you are the last person someone will engage in a heartfelt conversation about their romantic relationships because you have nothing to offer (something you professed in your post, not my words) in terms of introspection and worthwhile advice. With my best friends in the world, I very occasionally and with some reserve talk to them about the feelings I have for my wife, because those emotions are something between me and her and seriously are none of anybody else's business. Sharing how you feel about the most important person in your life is not something that you tell to the sperg that you play DnD with or your opponent at a Magic tournament. The idea that people in relationships need to show their gratitude for sex specifically to you is mindblowingly stupid. We don't have to show you any goddamn respect for the sex we are having; that is for our partners and has nothing to do with you. Jesus goddamned christ. The idea that one person in a sexual relationship is giving the other one a gift is the most ridiculous poo poo I have ever heard of. Are you suggesting that it is always the woman who gives this "gift"? Sex is two people doing the nasty in a way that both of them enjoy, not one person bestowing a bounty of wonders on a deprived soul thanks to their unending generosity. gently caress.

A lot of adults are actually pretty irresponsible and lazy yet manage to live decently normal lives anyway because they excel at certain things, don't obsess over everything, and don't worry about what other people think. I think goons just like to use the term "manchild" as shorthand for "not perfect" and "not exactly like me". A lot of adults have trouble getting up in the mornings, are bad with money, or spend too much time watching TV. They are still adults, and most of them have had sex. They just have problems and issues they need to work on, just like everybody does. Maybe they have more issues than you. Congratulations then, I guess you're a catch. I totally want to have sex with you, give me your number. I mean, rushing around in the mornings isn't exactly an experience that's exclusive to virgins. Lots of people do it, all the time. If you're at the point where you're automatically equating common human behavior with evidence of virginity, you should probably take a moment to stop and think about whether what you're saying is in any way insightful or helpful. You know, like an adult. (And no, I'm not taking this personally because something in your post somehow applies to me. My life is going just fine. You just sound like an overly judgmental rear end in a top hat.)

Shut up dude quote:I also think that people who do this (getting up with barely enough time to get things done) are often virgins because the opposite sex rarely wants to make love to wo/manchildren who aren't in control of their life. Like this. This is dumb. I've slept with several people who didn't give themselves enough time in the morning and, uh, none of them were virgins. It's kind of annoying to deal with and maybe not the most responsible thing to do, but at the same time, gently caress it, it's not like the world's restaurants are running out of expo shifts.

And then bring it up like, 60 pages later to escape an argument you're in with someone else. And I'm apparently the manchild. Go loving figure. (FWIW, I get angry at the lack of respect people show their partner when discussing sex. Jesus Christ, you idiot.)

I mean why would discussing sex with friends make you that angry? People talk about sex. You really don't think your friend's partner also talks about sex with his/her friends too? I understand if it's with people who you're not close with or if they're just looking to brag/talk poo poo. That's kinda disgusting, however it's pretty normal for close friends to talk about their sex lives.

Maybe 'lack of respect' means, like, "And then I totally hosed that bitch's rear end so hard she couldn't walk straight for hours!" Or maybe it means something more like a guy mentioning his partner has nice breasts or something else dumb to get mad at. I dunno, it's not like VerySlightlyMad gave an example.

To his credit, I can't say I get mad, but I get annoyed when I'm around people who feel the need to talk about sex all the time. I can see it being an issue if he has nothing to contribute. For example, there's a guy that goes to the bar I go to, and after a couple drinks he'll start talking about how he'd gently caress whichever woman that's currently there is the most attractive to him. It really gets on my nerves because it's the same thing every time. Actually, some of the other patrons have joked about starting up a collection to get him laid so he'll shut up about it, because I guess it gets on their nerves too.

IronicDongz posted:Maybe 'lack of respect' means, like, "And then I totally hosed that bitch's rear end so hard she couldn't walk straight for hours!" Not quite that far, but yeah, along these lines. From my old work and my college days, I knew quite a few guys who would talk about getting laid and how the girl was such a freak or a slut. Like, OK. I have nothing against someone having a one-night-stand, but if you're going to sleep with someone, don't talk down about them for it afterward.

NomChompsky posted:sup thread was wondering if having not had sex in four years means I am a virgin again? thoughts? Its been about six years since I've been in anything resembling a relationship and about four years since I've had sex. When I was still a virgin, I did have feelings of missing out on sex, like everyone was at this amazing party that I wasn't invited to. But it was easy to shake off those feelings; I was still curious about sex, but until it happened, it was just whatever. But now that I've actually experienced it, and its been years since I've had it, I find myself relating to the posters in this thread. My feelings about my dry spell (feels more like Arrakis at times) vary. I feel sad, angry, resentful, hopeful, apathetic, fearful, and confused about sex nowadays, so yeah. Going back to the party analogy, it feels like I just attended it, only to be sent out on a beer run and ended up locked out. Persona non grata. Nothing Netflix and masturbation can't handle. I have been on a self-improvement kick (Working out, therapy, job search,etc.) In the hopes of improving my chances of meeting women, but life has a funny was of interfering with our plans.

I have a close older friend who didn't have sex until he was around thirty-five years old or something. I'd been telling him that sex is great, but not a big huge deal or anything and not to worry about it for like, the whole five years I'd known him (despite thinking it's pretty unusual that he hadn't at the very least had a regrettable hookup yet). After he met his current girlfriend/fiance (because of course he proposed to the first woman he slept with), I asked him whether sex was a life-changing experience like he'd always thought it was. His response was some awkward laughter and then, "Uhhhh, I mean, yeah, it's good." I don't find her that attractive, but from hanging around her, I'm pretty sure that girl a freak. I guess the point of this story is that no matter how long you've gone without sex, don't feel beholden to stick with the first person you sleep with. It's weird and desperate, and all of your friends and family will see it for what it is.

pretty sure the extended drought guys are overthinking things and maybe the not having sex for years at a time is part of having a mental illness maybe. I only say that because I am mentally ill for sure and I went a couple years without and had the exact same thoughts but it turns out sex is pretty natural and your body more or less knows what to do. You're probably not gonna be the best lay a girl has ever had when you're getting back into things but you're underestimating just how bad some sex can be if you think your several year absence is going to destroy any chances once a girl basically likes you enough to do it with you.

Last year I broke a two-years long dry spell, and I can tell you that it's not as remotely as awkward as the first time. Well, I guess it can be if you're convinced it will be. And, as said above, you'd have to try hard to be the worst she'd ever had, as people can be phenomenally bad and she will certainly have a few facepalm-inducing stories to share. But seconding that a dry spell will make you feel like a virgin loser.
