what do you do out of the gym???

[flexmaster]

i have found that now that i am single and not with my girl all the time, my life is a pretty boring one. being 22, i wish i had more excitement in my life...what kinds of things do you guys do outside of the gym for fun and to just get your mind off the routine of daily life? i am in college and can count the people i feel are my real freinds on one hand...i want to get out and meet people and have fun...what do you guys do?

hmmmm

Well.....living a healthy lifestyle can cramp your social life a bit IF you are too anal about stuff....as in drinking, partying etc...I personally like to party, I am lucky that my body can take a lot of abuse (drinking etc) and I can still look and feel pretty damn good. With that said I also enjoy the outdoors and it is not uncommon to see me lurking about in forests, taking walks by lakes or ponds, (with a female of course ) and I also like playing vids with my pals -- damn I miss you Steakhelmet! I LOVE sports so since I am now rehabbing my knee, I am finished playing for now, so I enjoy other sports, (softball tournaments, league)(baseball, bb, fighting) or going to FB games, going to movies is fun, or grabbing some guns and then smoking some targets at a range or outside, I also enjoy gardening a bit, and going to college keeps me busy as well....

One more thing to add.... IF YOU ARE SINGLE NOW then it is time to do some hunting....go on dates, have fun with the opposite sex, date several of them, just do not get too outta control and turn into a "He-Whore"...

I recently broke up with my GF of 2 1/2 years and sometimes I feel I am faced with the same dilemma.

One thing I have started doing again is spinning records, I used to have turntables and would spin for with friends fu**ing around or at get togethers, I was deep into the club scene for a long time so music just runs through my veins. So I guess what I am saying is identify your other interests other than bodybuilding and pursue a few you have time on your hands now to do so.

Like Ivan said it is open season to have fun with the opposite sex, just don't turn into a boy toy, I did that sh*t when I was younger juggling like four girls at one time thinking I was really cool and I realized I looked really stupid and to other people and I wasn't as cool as I thought, but catch me on the right day and my opinion changes from time to time.

i agree with ivan on this one. going out is a sociable thing to do, you meet a lot of people (girls) and usually for the most part have a pretty good time. i like going out with a buddy and hanging out, sometimes just bs'ing with eachother or if the scene is good working on some women.

basically it works like this. if you dont have a girl, you will spend the majority of you time finding or being around other girls.. haha.. or atleat thats with me. man what could us pathetic men do without women? honestly, dont they make you feel so good to be around them.. lol.. man im SAD!!!

youll be fine bro, its probably a good thing you realize there is more to life than lifting and BB. having a lot of free time from something like this really makes you think about a lot of things thats for sure. i have been there.

good luck man,

since I am now rehabbing my knee, I am finished playing for now,

What happened I just had knee surgery 2 months ago.

what kinds of things do you guys do outside of the gym for fun

Dance Clubs/Bars, but dont really drink. I like to dance though.
Martial Arts
Fishing
Target Shooting and hunting once in awhile
Softball if I have time I work also.

Softball games is a great social event to meet women if that what you want and you make alot of new friends. You dont have to great to play have the players on the team usually suck ass. They join to have a reason to party afterwards and drink. Drink if they win and drink if they loose.

seems like the most common place to go out and meet people is at the bars or clubs...which i dont like to go to. looks like its time to take longer between sets in the gym to pass the time.LOL man i get SO BORED though!

thanks for eeryone's replies

 

[tank766]

work, workout, cook, eat, sleep then repeat mon thru fri. on the weekends i like to let loose a little hang out with my wife and drink a little, eat a little junk food and everynow and again i can get mailbox (from this board) to hang out with me. tank...

Where do I start.....Bodybuilding was never my main focus and I believe if you are into something that takes up all your time its not healthy. I like to travel quite a bit and Ive been playing poker since I was 21 (before everyone and there mom decided Hold'em was the "in" thing to do). I also like to go shooting which is something I like to do a couple times a month. Ive got a couple cars I like to work on too. Then there is the GF which takes up some time of course. I also like to get on E-Bay and hunt for rare Nike sneakers. I could go on and on. In other words if I could rank bodybuilding on my top 10 favorite things to do its at the bottom of the list. I like to have a life full of many hobbies....dont put all your eggs in one basket.

....dont put all your eggs in one basket.

that about sums up what i have been feeling lately. i've noticed i have been pretty boring, but i was happy with it at the time, now i am looking for more excitement...too bad the ONLY thing to do here on weekends is go out to bars and house parties...

Man I thought being an obsessive bodybuilder made me out of the ordinary- but storm shadow thats some odd off time things to do, glad to see some different responses like these tho...I usually am boring too- I try to make some $ working, go to school full time , cook, eat,clean all the time and figure what can better my bodybuilding gains- I guess I am a fanatic about bodybuilding- I dont think Im gonna change anytime soon and I dont want to- but girls and good(junk) food do make me relax a little more- not a big party animal- big on being home and with my family
