It’s not just gaming, it’s everything. You can work out all you like. You can join a bowling league or a chess club. You can do some sports if you want. Go spend time with your friends at bars or take field trips to lakes or hiking trails. Go fishing. You can take on multiple jobs and make absolute bank.
The second you get a gf, all of that freedom is gone. Maybe not *all of it, but you definitely chain yourself down.
And nothing against people that can find a way to make it work. If you have a girlfriend, don’t let me or anyone stop you. I’m just saying the whole “no bitches” thing may not be as bad as it seems.
