ORIGINAL: chrisvirginslave lol i like how some of you are judging me based on what very little you know about my life, i play videogames as both an escape and a creative outlet, they inspire me, as for living at home, im studying and until im 25 its cheaper to stay at home and keep buying new courses. I think half of you are too quick to judge people based on an image, for your information i spend most of my money on learning courses, im currently doing four, my main hobby is gaming that is correct but it dont control my life. I'm not arrogant or self-confident anything and i dont feel the world owes me anything, but just because im submissive does not mean anyone here has the right to verbally attack me, if i want you too i would ask you to, i can carry a decent conversation, talk to me about heavy metal music, horror films, games, history, sci fi, books and i could answer with a decent degree of knownledge You asked what puts people off, and they told you. Madam4a, who said that you living with your parents would put her off, is listed as age 50 on her profile. If she's been on her own for around 25 years, which is a pretty reasonable assumption, that might not be her judging you as a person but rather judging you as a partner. It's not unreasonable for someone with that much more life experience to want potential partners to be at a certain point in their lives, too. There's nothing wrong with living with your parents, especially if you're thinking it out carefully instead of defaulting to it, but it's also not unreasonable for someone to be "put off" by it if they're looking for something else. Zensualista said "Someone out of college who plays video games would be an instant turn off." If she views that hobby in a certain way, then it's entirely reasonable for that to be a turn-off even if there's not necessarily anything wrong with you for liking it. (I'm personally put off by both hunting and fishing, but that doesn't mean I inherently think less of everyone who does them, especially if they use as much of the animals as possible.) Some of the comments have been pointed at you, sure, but that doesn't make the sentiments behind them unreasonable, and as far as I can tell, people aren't making assumptions about your character as much as saying they're looking for someone at a different point in their lives. Your character aside, you're still a college student who's living with his parents. And again - there's nothing wrong with that - but it's not going to appeal to people who are looking for someone who's financially established and living independently. I wish you luck, I just think you're asking the wrong crowd.
