I was chatting to a mate who well....to put it lightly doesn't like FF or games consoles for that matter, who said everyone who is on this site is fat and lazy. I dutifully said that was a horible stereotype and well...just plain nasty. But anyway Stereotypes are usually based on fact i.e. chavs being mean spirited theives. I know alot like that but some that arn't and are lovley people (I'll get to the point eventually) So how many people on here are "overweight"? I am but i wouldn't say lazy!
I am......*says in embarast voice* im 265lbs
i am overweight. put on a bit recently too. my mum says i'm obeses :-/ i don't think i am, buti'm not thin.
i'm not lazy, just relaxed.
I'm underweight, and I'm not lazy.
Go and tell your friend to stop being so silly. :)
I'm dangerously underweight.
Hence, I win.
I consider myself overweight, but I'm not lazy, and I'm not a scary manly-girl like most people stereotype gamer girls to be.
I'm underweight and lazy. xD
I would venture to say that the people here are more attractive, on average, than people would normally suspect. Just look at the album. Lots of hotties!
That said, I'm average weight and lazy in some areas of life, and very unlazy in others. ^_^
I'm veeerrry lazy. My sink is perpetually full of dishes and I never get anything done.
And just recently I've started gaining weight but I'm hoping it's because I'm pregnant. I'll be depressed if I'm just getting fat. :(
I've found that most stereotypes are based on small, small grains of truth.
Small, very small.
I drive gay men and fat chicks wild.
And yes, your friend is a big silly billy. :D
*pushes up glasses* Oh Quentin, look! There is a rather interesting thread come up about stereotyping! Let's have a gander at it shall we? It seems my 24-hour marathon on this site has paid off!
I don't wear glasses, by the way. Neither am I fat. The most handsome guy you've ever seen.
All people who stereotype other people are stupid. :rolleyes2

Oh wait...
Apparantly my BMI is a low average (Bordering on underweight) and I am lazy.
I'm dangerously underweight, and lazy. I don't know how i'm underweight, though. I eat a lot (more than I should), and I don't gain weight.
I'm not lazy per say...I'm just very devoted to the procrastinating lifestyle.
And I'm not overweight or underweight, I'm right where I should be for my age and height.
Stereotypes are silly.
Anyone who says FF fans are lazy and overweight are themselves morons that didn't get daddy's love as a child.
*takes that the wrong way*Quote:

Part of that stereotype I believe, comes from the concept that people who play video games ONLY play video games and do little else, which would probably lead to someone being overweight and/or lazy. Yet, as others have said, stereotypes are never completely correct because they are assumptions made on shallow aspects of people, never taking into account the complete person. Most people here treat the games as a hobby, some more than others, but so long as you also lead an active life, it's perfectly fine in my opinion.
Take care all.
Tell her yes, Xander is very lazy, but only a little chubby, not fat! And not even overweight anymore. Yay.
I feel very sad now, as these words describe me. Fat, lazy. Oh the agony.
I take part in a power-endurance sport with up to nine training sessions a week.
And still somehow contrive to be slightly overweight (not very - BMI of about 25-26).
Must be all the pies.
An interesting stereotype when you think about it. I mean, what about other passtimes that involve your body being sedentary but aren't frowned upon? If I told someone I was an avid reader and I sit around reading all day, would they say "omg u fat n lazy!!".
I'm normal weight, and even though I'm alot less lazy than I used to be...I still never get anything useful done :(
I'm not fat or lazy.

I'm HOT. :D :D :D
I'm slim, just over 7 stone, and I'm not lazy, I walk everywhere. :love:
Stereotypes are silly.
>>> Im lazy.
Tell your friend to stuff it. He's just ignorant, so who cares what he thinks.
I'm 180lbs, and far from overweight, and in great shape. Final Fantasy happens to be a big interest of mine, as well as sports, weightlifting, getting stronger, and overall good fitness and health. I even typically play final fantasy after the gym.
Stereotyping like that is ridiculous.
I'm normal weight~ My BMI is like 18.7 or 19? I dunno, something like that. ^_^
Tons of people who play FF are hotties :love:
I'm overweight by strict Eurpoean guidelines, but I am by no stretch of the imagination what most people consider fat, at least here in the states.
I'm also not lazy. I've a full time job, then I come home, cook, clean and take care of my pregnant wife. I also train regularly in preparation of a martial arts rank test I'm soon to take.
:D
AHhh... DeBlayde... sounds like the scariest thing EVER ;) Taking care of pregnant wife, that is. I will be such a bitch if I am ever pregnant. *grins* Good luck (and job!) to you.
Anyway, stereotypes are bad. ^_^ My boy is such a hottie but he's also... such a nerd... [img]http://home.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/heart.gif[/img]
I bet I'm more underweight than you, hence I win better. :)Quote:

I am definitely lazy.
I'm a bit over weight, but it's hereditary. *shakes fist* I'm thin though.
Being overweight or whatever is not from the VGs.
I'm a bit borderline. I think my bmi was something like 23-25 ish.
lazy, check. geeky, check.
Nasty, well, occasionally^_^
I'm 6'2" and about 155-160lbs...so maybe a little underweight.
I am exceptionally lazy tho, not all the time...I play a lot of sport, i just can't be bothered to do anything the rest of the time.
Probably because I'm a student, are there any students who aren't lazy? seriously? :D
Exactly what I say.Quote:
