Well like many said, a forum is interactive. Talking to people who have issues, trying to help people, asking questions, giving answers, etc. So there's human interaction to be had there..
Talking about Breaking Bad with your friends, inviting people over to watch the game, having a movie night with your sweetie is all interactive too. You could argue that watching tv can be even more interactive than posting on a forum.
netflix, streaming, youtube, video games, etc are the same as watching tv
they are activities that help you pass the time and hopefully provides some entertainment
somehow saying "i dont have a tv" or "i dont watch tv" makes the person sound more intellectual (to themselves)
somebody said something about fri/sat night... last i checked tvs still worked on those days. is someone a hermit if they dare watch tv on a saturday nite? sunday is ok though? how about mon-thurs? lol
The thread is not about her It's about several women who feel the need to say it so I can be impressed
They don't know it's a turn off
But that's the whole point. To many, many people it's not a turn-off at all while to many it's an attribute. You're totally convinced that if someone says they don't watch TV they're outright lying and nothing anybody can say will convince you otherwise. Nobody's trying to impress you. Obviously if a woman says that, she's doing her due diligence and weeding out the couch potatoes who have nothing more productive to do than sit in front of a screen.

And maybe they find it a turn off that you're so dependent on TV.
Just as you don't understand people who don't watch much television, and suspect they have "airs" , there are some of us who don't understand people who DO watch a lot of TV.
This is what the social experience has come to in America: leading such isolated, passive, sedentary lives has become so much the norm, that the people who'd rather interact with other people, read, write, cook, work on crafts or hobbies, or engage in more physically active pursuits, are deemed "pretentious snobs."

Precisely. And the OP apparently doesn't have a clue.
