I think Howard is a nice guy, but socially inept - always the guy that never fit in, always the weirdo even in the loser group, always making bizarre jokes that only he got.
At my age I may come off "inept and lame" on various internet social sites and forums , such as getbig.
I don't have a Facebook or My Space page and rarely text anyone, etc.
But at least I TRY to have fun with a group OUTSIDE my usual demographic.
I am more relaxed and comfortable ,meeting and speaking with people, in person.
I have enjoyed making lasting friendships with many people in bodybuilding over the years.
