Study: Gamers Are Having More Sex Than 'Gym Goers'

I suspect these "Gamers" are fuckign casuls

There are so many flaws with this "study", it would literally take me hours to address them all. So I won't. I'll just address the most glaring one instead. Namely the fact that this is all from a female perspective, and ONLY a female perspective.

Anyone here ever watched Play It to the Bone? There's a quote from that movie that I think is relevant here:

"If a man builds a thousand bridges and sucks one dick, they don't call him a bridge-builder... they call him a cocksucker."

What this means is that we tend to be defined by others by our perceived flaws rather than our virtues.

And women are no exception. They'll define any guy who plays any videogames at all (besides maybe the casual crap they themselves might play on Facebook) as a "gamer". Or any guy with even a passing interest in Star Wars as a "nerd". And that's regardless of pretty much everything else. How they look, how socially skilled they are, what other hobbies they have.... etc.

The fact most women have no understanding whatsoever of actual nerd and gaming culture probably doesn't help either, but the point remains. Just because women will go "Omg, my boyfriend plays CoD like... once a week on Co-Op with his friends, he's such a nerrrrrd!!11!!", doesn't mean they actually do fit the nerd/gamer stereotype or that they could even be accurately described as such.

Actually, it's pretty close of a RP vision. Gym goers are the raw masculine alphas, Hipsters are the people of high social status, "Gamers"(casuals) are the average young man, rockers are the dying formely high status culture, dad are beta bucks, nerds (actual gamers) are the omega, and chavs are the lowest social class.

The incidence of sex is due that "Hipsters" and "gamers" are students, hence they have time, while Gym goers are working class, management and CEO types, hence they have way less time for them.

Or they have mistresses, so they have less sex with one woman.

conducted by a money saving website

That they didn't even list? I find this article questionable at best.

Course most gym goers are fat, so who knows

DarkLord0chinChin · 2017-03-06T11:53:36+00:00

Most actual gamers don't have gfs

There's so much way this data could be flawed to the chore.

Just 2k women, in the UK, do you think that's representative of anything?

How many gym goers are having sex versus how many gamers? What's the population size for both?

How these men would label themselves? How these men would rate their sex life? Are these gym goers actually lifting and muscular, or they do something else? As someone mentioned, most of the gym goers are transitioning.

You can see here most women have a "gym goers" as a boyfriend. Which means women are more likely to be attracted by gym goers, which is the whole fucking point of TRP. And I'm pretty sure "gym goers" are severely outnumbered by "gamers" in general so it's even worse.

Also this is to be put into perspective that generally speaking "gamers" and "nerds" are more "internet people" that read more and are more insecure, and are more concious of the efforts it takes to please a woman sexually.

they asked 2357 UK-based women

Quoted the important part for you.

ProbablyBelievesIt · 2017-03-06T11:51:36+00:00

Have you considered that this is a poll of women?

They don't even have dicks, so what do they know about sex?
They just think a gamer is any guy who has game.
Just because gym bros are getting their sex elsewhere, doesn't mean they're having less sex.

It's all further proof of AWALT. AWALT always wins!

What is the definition of gamer in this study?

EchoZeroEleven · 2017-03-06T14:20:38+00:00

Wait, are we talking about gamers, the hardcore ones, or "gamers", the ones that play maybe an hour or two a week tops?

I highly suspect that we are speaking of the latter.

[deleted] · 2017-03-06T18:02:45+00:00

Plot twist, gym goers play lots of video games.

I was a frat bro in a top frat and we would have COD or smash tournaments often.

[deleted] · 2017-03-07T02:33:04+00:00

Where are gamers playing games? At home.

Where are gym-rats working out? At the gym.

Which of the two is easier to have sex at?

This is actually in-line with my experience, but mostly because of convenience and connection. I've had times in life (usually when I'm single) where I go to the gym most week nights every week, but I've also been a geeky gamer since I was a kid on and off.

I've been living with my girlfriend for 2 years, and during the periods of time when I get disciplined and start going to the gym most days, sex drops off a bit more. But in my lazy periods, usually I we end up having sex every day - makes it very hard to stay productive.

For instance, since Breath of the Wild came out, I've played multiple hours almost every day. I also have been really slacking off with regards to the gym. But in those 2 weeks, there's been maybe a day or two that didn't involve sex. When I'm constantly busy and out at the gym, it'll drop down to 2-3 times/week
