So There Is This Fat Guy I Know

[2 ton hoss]

He is really smart, I'd even say he is brilliant. He knows about everything, he graduated high school at 14, he has won every argument/debate I have seen him take part in. He is a big fat ass, too (he has some medical problems that prohibit exercise for one thing and he is also diabetic). But anyway, he really likes the thrill of computer games. And he is really good at them. He likes the adrenaline rush when you kill someone in Quake or Tribes 2 or something. Etc. But the funny thing is, he pooh-poohs stuff like mountain climbing, paintball, rafting, and stuff like that which I do. He says they don't take any brains or intellect (and so he is not interested). I think he's wrong. It is unfortunate he is too fat to play paintball or I would show him what a real rush is. Lets put it this way. I enjoy video games I am pretty good at them too. And I enjoy the rush you get from paintball or rafting or climbing, much much more. So is he wrong or what? What arguments can I use to beat him down with? I dont want to be mean, because he is a very nice guy and I respect him a lot.

Intellect is seperate of brains. Tell him if it takes no brainpower or intellect, then he'll do splendidly next week when the fat fuck runs the Boston Marathon.

??? I admire this guy a lot, we are "work friends" i.e. we hang out at work a lot but not outside work. I just think he is knocking things he has no experience of. He sits and thinks and concludes that paintball could never be as fun as playing Quake when both you and I know paintball is an absolute blast. and he can not play paintball so I can not show him the error of his ways.

You cannot force your ideas upon anyone else, just keep telling him how much of thirll your having with outside activities.

Ignorance is bliss, you should probably let him win the argument. I bet he knows he wrong but dosent want to admit it becasue he would be admitting he dosent participate in physical activites becasue hes fat. But if he really think that quake is more metaly demanding tell him that in the real world there are more things to keep up with in your mind than health/ammo/shoot. Also games are much more predictable, you tend to learn games, Like that people never come from behind for example, less thinks to think about. Real life is way more unpredictable and you need to be quicker with your brain. Well thats all i could come up with.

Maybe it´s self protection on his part, like "i will never be able to do it myself, so i´ll convince myself that i haven´t missed much"
