While I don't really hang out and 'chill' that much, I do it sometimes. In school etc, I'm not really the sitting-in-the-corner kind of outcast, but I openly go and converse with people, sometimes even being the most talkative of the bunch.

So, I'd say that it's...decent.

I've got a pretty decent social life now, at school it was a bit rubbish, but now at uni I've got a really good group of friends, and a lot of people i can just hang out with if i feel like it :D

Good :p

About a year ago i had a shit social life and was just friends with the "nerdy" unpopular people but about this time last year i started to be friends with more of the popular people and by last summer i nearly had a completely new set of friends i still talk to my old friends occasionally but i can't really be friends with both groups of people because my old friends are so irritatingly shy that when im with them and one of my other friends comes over they go completely silent and it just embarrassing
Hahaha that happened to me numerous times.Its the epitome of awkwardness :p

Most people know the typical stereotype of gamers and people who just sit on the internet; antisocial, no friends, and tend to be the outcast

So I was curious to know how true this actually is within the population of the Escapist.

As for me, well I have a pretty pathetic excuse for a social life. The closest thing I have to friends are the people here. I was always the outcast at school and just tended to avoid people. Despite going out to a movie (I go at least twice a week) and usually dinner every weekend, I'm always by myself. I don't go with anyone. Ever. How sad is that?

So, what's your social life like and what has it been like through the years?
Falling, falling every day... although things seem to be looking up in this department... but we shall just have to see.

Used to be kinda bad but lately I have gotten a lot of new friends and we go out every time we are able to match our schedules. So I`m pretty happy with the situation right now :D

I'd say it's adequate for my needs. Speaking in real life terms I have a small group of close friends, you know the type I'd actually trust to look out for me and whatnot; and a larger group of "acquaintance" friends, the ones I know largely by association with my close friends. We hang out, go clubbing, get hammered, play videogames, the usual stuff you do as friends.

I am saturated with a dynamic social lifestyle whether I like it or not. I am so completely surrounded by random social encounters that I have to seek refuge in libraries to get away from people or if I want to study in peace.

University dorms can be a really awesome social experience if you leave the room and even if you don't do that you have someone knocking on the door lounging about your room all day. 'Tis fun but highly unproductive.

So to answer your question: Yes, I have a hyperactive social life..maybe a little too much.

I have about 10 real friends i actually see, and i can usually find a party each weekend.
Don't always want to go to them though.
Have no GF, but plenty of potentials.
Also, i never really play games alone, i find that sortof dull, much more fun with friends over skype or such.

Alcohol and the like basically glues my social life together, so since I ran out of expendable income a month ago for all that... yeah I'm a nerdy recluse.

My social life is low to non-existent. The only time I communicate with people in person is at work or home. Rest of the time it is through e-mail or x-box live.
