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."
No wonder the state of relationships is so poor.

LOL, I find it to be the other way around--Dixiegirl is correct--why are people who don't plop down in their easy chairs considered snobs? I don't understand people who feel the need to be glued to the tube either--there's a big world out there and I can experience it directly and it's a lot more real than what you see on the set. Even novels are more real. Once when I was traveling thru Spain, I had a man tell me that he is sure that most of us answer the doorbell with a gun in our hand. I laughed until I realized that our TV shows do surely give that impression. When's the last time you got out and traveled, TVSG, er I mean FBJ? And why can't people just state their preferences in their profile? That's what it's for isn't it?
I don't watch it much but I do occasionally tune in--sat down to watch a couple of movies last night for the first time in a couple of months and I enjoyed it but it will probably be a couple of more months. This is not snobbery--I didn't even watch much TV as a kid--the only two shows I remember watching were Beverly Hillbillies and I love Lucy.

The OP is now in his 7th year of posting the same comments and creating the same threads without missing a misplaced syllable, a misspelled word or garbled syntax.
You I don't understand anything in this world we live in
Is that right? Can you be more specific as to how I don't "understand anything about the world we live in"? And you claim this because I don't watch a lot of TV? For real?
I'm with stepka; I, too, would like to know how much traveling, if any, you've done, or if you even an interest in seeing a little bit of the world.
Who said anything about every weekend? She was another example of a person LYING just so she cam sound cool at 36 years old
So from this, you generalize to all people who say they're not much of a TV person, that they're lying?
You need to become better acquainted with the world we live in.
