This sounds like a classic case of depression.

Yes, he never learned to ride a bike because he's depressed

What he needs is a hot girl to strip for him. That'll wake him up. :D


Hey that's what all of us need.

What do you think of this guy:

37
lives at home with his mom!
doesn't have a job
hasn't had a job in 5 years
smokes tons of pot
Has no desire to work


It is my cousin. I always tell him he is on lame status!
 

Wow! This is the lamest thread that I've seen in ages. A guy doesn't do certain things at age 18 (a pretty young age) and that makes him crazy, lazy, weird or depressed. My sis can't ride a bike, can't swim so she must be a slob, nerd, weirdo or something.

Come see her in real life and tell her that to her face or see how she lives her life. I can't swim, so I must have major issues.

At 18, I was a full time college student, lived with my parents and didn't have a job.

Basically, I agree with VI Edit, BD2000 (you're my man!), and Exp. First off, someone not having a gf at that age and not having kissed one doesn't make him a weirdo. It isn't what defines him. If his reason for that is because he's shy, then the problem is his shyness and it would have nothing to do with how many girls he's slept with or kissed.

Secondly, the silliest comment was the bike comment. Biking is something you can learn very quickly. It's a skill, not a God gifted talent. So why it should matter on your list is beyond me. There are many reasons someone could have skipped that part of life. Not every parent can afford a bike for their kids. And not every kid gets a bike from their parents or work early enough to afford one.

Thirdly, VI Edit's post pretty much reflects my view. No need for some crappy Dr. game here. This man is still young. Come back in 8 years and give me the same descriptions of him, then I would start to wonder.

And honestly, sometimes people are happy living inactive lives. There's no one specific road to happiness. We are all of different personalities and find happiness in different ways. Not everyone finds happiness in greed, covetousness and desire.

The item No. 5 is the only thing that raised the red flag for me. No. 4 could be bad, but a I'm not surprised that a guy his age and his situation doesn't know what he wants as far as "goals" are concerned. He's definitely missing out on the last 2 items, but that'll probably change eventually.
