Poll of the Day > A SHOCKING PICTURE of what the MALE GAMER is gonna like at 40!! Is this YOU???

(+) Yeah! (+)

A lifelike visual representation of the "future male gamer" in 2040 was created to create awareness of the "gaming disorder" that shows multiple chronic symptoms of an unhealthy lifestyle if gamers spend more time with the controller than having sunlight and exercise

Gaming Disorder has now been recognized as a worldwide issue after many spend their time gaming for hours and this was the impact it'll have on them when they get older where it shows the effects it has in their health and body

Michael's face has dark circles, bloodshot eyes and hairy ears with sleep deprivation and dehydration with lack of Vitamin D, a digital eye strain and "playstation thumb" with a balding hairline and bulging stomach

The average gamer is spending 6 hours a week from online gaming that is a 19% increase from last year and it'll get worse as some spend 18 HOURS a day gaming

The WHO has recognized this as a psychological disorder and is recommending gamers maintain a balanced lifestyle of healthy diet, good posture and exercise to avoid this image..

Do you expect this to be you when you're 40?

Lol

I'll never look like that. I'm fit.

---

I will never be that fit

---

I'll be lucky if my hairline is that nice at 40.

---

There are so many methods of home exercises that can generate great strength.

I'm actually disappoint in modern NEETs for not even trying to replicate any manga training regime. I've done it. It works.

---

Obviously that gamer never played DDR or beat saber.

---

I'm basically 35 and still underweight. Don't think I can get obese tbh.

Have normal arthritis already, naturally pale and don't go out much due to disability and not due to playing games. Don't really use headphones anymore, and when I did it was for music, not gaming.

Also not balding at all, despite almost never going outside and getting that sunshine vitamin D. Also don't have vericose veins even though, again due to disability issues, I sit a lot.

I find it hard to believe gaming is going to do some of this to people as a blanket statement.

You do relize a 6 ffoot tall man is overweight at 170 and obese at 184 right. Alot of guys think they are super health but unless you get that bmi down your not helping yourself

I call bs. I had people harrassing me to gain weight when I was 170. I thought I looked best at that weight though. Slight athletic build.

You should've posted this on April 1st; that's how realistic this is.

his arms are freakishly long

Whoever did this was clearly paid off by Microsoft. Specifically named "symptoms" after Sony and Nintendo, but nothing named after Xbox or PC gaming?

Such clear bias makes the entire study worthless! :p

"Xbox butt" a flattened square like ass from sitting for long periods of time

Love that they didn't even bother to take too seriously either. I mean, a 5 year old could model something better than this.

I'm sure it'd be easy enough to turn the bloodshot eyes into a "red ring of death" joke if one were inclined to spend time thinking of it.

Not a chance.

I turn 40 in a few months and I look way better than that and don't have any of the problems.

I can say with 100% certainty that i will not look like that. For a few specific reasons. But, tbh, I don't know if anyone with look like that...
---

hey look a picture of me!

---

I was 6"1 at age 17-19 or so, and 220. In prime shape, came in 3rd out of 500 people who tried out for the special forces. Arnold swarzinager was 6"1 and 230 pounds (those extra pounds were all muscle, along with some of the non-extra ones i'm sure lol). The rock is 6'3 and 250 or so.

So yeah, 180 is not always overweight and it's silly, just plain crazy even to say that 190 is obese lols.

Up through my early 30's I could life 150 pound people up with one hand, through my 40's even after gaining 20 extra pounds (not muscle) I could still mountain climb and do the climbing machines inverted (basically climbing upside down). I could at that age still do one armed pull ups no problem (At 240 pounds).

There are different body shapes on top of your height. I am more of an ogre sized person lol. Getting clothes that fit me is freaking annoying sometimes. I do have a bit of a belly now (pushing 280), but it can still be hard af if I tighten it (I just don't bother much lolz).

---

I could see looking like this at 75, but not 40, minus the hands though, that's not gonna happen to anyone.

---

And I bet they'll still blame women for their inability to get laid.

The average gamer is spending 6 hours a week from online gaming

Jesus Christ, that's not even an hour a day. You might as well say commuting an hour every day for work will have a negative impact on someone's body.

If you actually take BMI seriously your opinion doesnt mean much anyway.

Lol @ 6 hours a week.

I believe the statistic is casual gamers are around 2-3 hours a day, dedicated gamers are 4-6 and hardcore gamers can get insane.

As an example one MMO monitors the hours each player spends online. This mmo has a toplist showing how many days played in the last 2 weeks, which is almost always over 11 days of actual play time. There are people who have played more than 10 hours average for years. Wow, it's low right now...which is crazy, shouldn't more people be home playing? For some reason it's only 9 days 14 hours on the top of the nolife list right now. Wonder if something is up with the game (have not played in years).

So 6 hours a week, that is like, playing candy crush while you use public trans to commute to work or something.

I agree that BMI is trash. They use it on base for PT these days if you fail the waist portion. But it's even worse...

The most flawed scale ever created.

Someone put glasses on it take off the shirt and give it a kissy face and it might look familiar to us.

Id hit it.

.. because it shatters your illusion of yourself? I know man. Facts are hard.

At a time when were all supposed to be staying in, this is really not helpful.
Lol

I'm fat, but I'm the fit kind of fat. I walk 7 to 10 miles every day and I frequently heft hay bales, feed sacks, and HP tower servers by myself. My skin is well tanned all over because I frequently sunbathe in the nude.

You are the alpha of your kind.
