McNocheI'm pretty sure that's caused by lack of intelligence or you are permafried. Throw on top a set of man tits. Jesus...it's time to shape up bud.

I think even more so with dating its an issue. Swiping left or right on a bootycall app like Tinder is how people nowadays try and find significant others which is strange to me. Im sure it works for some of you but im not down with viewing a few shitty looking profile pictures and making a decision to date someone off of that. shits weird as fuck.
You're doing Tinder wrong buddy haha. It's a quick, easy means to a first date... Which is where you get to find out about the person and see if if you may want to take them on a 2nd date. Dating is a numbers game- gotta meet a lot of girls to find the right ones, and gotta meet a lot of right ones to find THE right one.
DeebieSkeebiessounds boring, cant i just swipe right and jerk off to their pics instead?
DeebieSkeebiesor left, I dont have any idea how this shit works, i sound like a fucking grandpa and I cant even buy a beer legally yet,
MinggIt's a pretty bad habit honestly. I'm a really quiet person and most of the time I'm not even involved in the conversations taking place anyways with or without being on my phone. Over time it just got easier to check social media, watch an edit or do something more productive on my phone than to sit there painfully silent. It just kind of fills in the gaps and calms social anxiety for me.
Sometimes I just don't like talking to people either. Like I don't understand how people can sit around and talk about stupid shit all the time. And maybe that's just me but sometimes I get more use of my time by looking up stuff that actually interests me.
But I understand the frustration when you're doing something and your friends are MIA. Like it's always shitty when you're skiing and your friend(s) is(are) caught up listening to music and constantly on social media. It's like why even bother going together at that point haha.
fupafaceIm pretty similar in regards to being soft spoken and generally awkward in social settings (unless it is some sort of physical activity). So I've developed the habit of just dipping out without saying anything to anyone else, I figure they're not gaining anything from my presence, and i'd rather not just be standing around uncomfortably. However upon realizing that I'm normally very uncomfortable in social settings, i stopped subjecting myself to them.
.Rybak.That shit pisses me off so much. I just try to have a normal conversation woth people and thos happens 50% of the time. Shit rubs me the wrong way.
HAMNATIONphones are dumb I communicate with drums and smoke signals from now on
SlushI'd love to jump on this train and be against being on your phone all the time, but that would be making me a hypocrit. I spend a stupid amount of time on my phone, computer, whatever. As I type right now it's 2am and I have school in 4 hours. I'm just doing nothing, killing myself for tomorrow by not sleeping. I realize all these things and yet here I am, doing them. Today i spent probably 5 hours of my life on a computer of sorts. 5 hours.... If I did that every day for a week, I'd be spending 35 hours of my life, almost 2 days, of just doing meaningless things.... I don't know how to stop, how to break this shitty cycle. I go mountain biking, I go outside, I do shit. Whenever I'm not doing shit I have to be on my phone or I'll go nuts. I've fucking destroyed my attention span
Minggbut dudes it's like not even midnight...
Chubz.idk if you know this but there's these things called time zones
MinggWell Slush skis bristol, which makes me believe he lives in NY which makes it 12am right now. Also across the atlantic(london) its about 5am and unless he was in the middle of the ocean it would not be 2am.
BUT, I am drunk so I could be very wrong about this. Please prove me wrong.

McNocheYou shouldn't over consume alcohol. It is not healthy.
Abu-BaghdadiDon't knock alcohol. You wouldn't be here without it.
Prototype_1I'm trying to hang with my friend, but the guy won't put his fucking phone down. He's been like this for the past year. I'm fucking done with it. All of our other friends agree that he's been acting like a cunt because of it. PUT YOUR FUCKING PHONES DOWN PEOPLE.
NewEscuelersI think it's funny how much being in a relationship will change that though. Literally the second you get a girlfriend she won't ever allow you to be on your phone while she's talking. It's actually good practice for when you actually have interesting conversations with people.
