Forums - Gaming - Forget Teens: Gamers Are 35, Overweight — And Sad, CDC says

I'm 6"3 160 pounds. Despite all the weight training, I ain't gaining any weight. Just strength (But that was the main goal anyway). Wouldn't mind going as high as 175.

I'm 26, 183 lbs and am in a profession where I am forced to be fit.

Interesting, it seems I'm not a gamer.

You guys need to put on some gaming flubber. How do you expect to compete without the extra cushioning for extended play sessions, or the expanded bowels for delayed bathroom breaks?



 

I'm thirty five and slightly overweight. I don't consider myself a gamer though. I watch as much TV as I play games and no one has labeled me a TV watcher.

How tall is everyone in this thread?

Goodness. I'm 19 and weigh 195. I'm also 6'2" though.

18, 135 before the summer began (could be 135-145 now... how heavy is 10 pounds? I just lost definition and the skin tightness I used to have), and I'm 5'3" T.T my mom always complains about my height... even though its her fault (we're nearly the same height).

Oh, see that makes sense. I was getting kinda scared there for a second.

Where is the generalization? It is an image of the average gamer. The average gamer is overweight, the average gamer is introverted etc. A generalization would be like your latter comment "all gamers are overweight". Most gamers are probably not all of these characteristics, but if you are a gamer you are more likely than not to have each particular characteristic. Personally only one of the characteristics applies to me.

 

I don't understand the defensive behaviour. I guess it must have it a nerve.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
