would this be considered childish?

If a guy is in his mid or late 20's and still enjoys to watch wrestling?? i used to enjoy a lot of watching wrestling when i was young and in teens but i am still seeing many guys who are 20's and older and watching wrestling obsessively. childish or not??

You're asking this on a forum filled with folks who are nerds, we can hardly answer yes without being hypocrites.

[Seifuku-kun]

Are we talking wrestling, pro wrestling (or female mud wrestling )?
Anyway I think it could hardly be called childish..

[mt774]

WWE wrestling.

When i am watching now i am still struggle to feel same excitment i once did when kid. now when i am watching it feels forced and not natural enjoyment.

[Meenah]

Not really. My 32 year old brother watches it and uses their moves on me. Wait a minute...

How is it childish? Just because your views and tastes in entertainment have changed, how come others who still have the same interests are considered immature? That's like saying "I liked soccer as a kid, but I don't anymore, so anyone who still enjoys soccer needs to grow up". As a matter of fact, the violence in WWE (real or otherwise) could hardly be classified as "childish". There are plenty of other hobbies or interests out there that some deem childish, while others pursue as a lifelong dream or past-time.

To be truthful, the only thing that kept me going through all these years is my dream of becoming a Pokemon Master. Childish? I think not. I'd rather hunt for shiny Pikachus in Viridian Forest than watch two guys in skin tight speedos as they tried to subdue each other in their preferred (albeit quite questionable) positions.

No, I do not think it's childish. Why should it be that?

Lol, so true!

Watching wrestling on tv isn't childish for a guy in his 20s. I don't think wrestling (especially WWE) is aimed specifically at children (is it? after all, they have action figures available), but it seems a big chunk of the fan base is comprised of them. Anyways, I think it's cool that you're reminiscing and trying to enjoy what you did when you were a kid. I'm 20 and still watch cartoons from my childhood, like the old Nickelodeon and maybe Cartoon Network.

Yeah. Stop being a kid! You should enjoy grown-up things, like paying taxes, or spending half the day in a traffic jam and the rest in a cubicle.

no i am not saying it is childish for others to watch that wrestling because i don't watch much longer, i mean is it viewed as childish by majority of people, like girls maybe?

for example some grown ups maybe enjoy still playing with action figures but mostly overrall we would describe that as childish or young at heart but that is not to say they should stop doing it just what the consensus will be.

*MOODLIFTER* so was out walkin home from school and this big black cricket landed on my shoulder. I heard someone scream(lots of people walk) I look over and suddenly it falls and dies. I was dying! it was hilarious!

I think its not childish, people like what they like

Conduct a survey. Asking the individual opinions of random otakus about the maturity or lack thereof in wrestling seems pretty odd to me. I have met just as many girls who enjoyed watching wrestling, so I don't know what you're basing this off of. Some girls might view wrestling as immature, and there are men who view tea parties as immature.

for example some grown ups maybe enjoy still playing with action figures but mostly overrall we would describe that as childish or young at heart but that is not to say they should stop doing it just what the consensus will be.

If that's your conclusion, why was this thread created in the first place?

[mt774]

whut about when girls say those things like "i want a man not a boy" surely they will look unfavorably on a guy who likes to do activities that mostly young do. if a guy wants to play on his ps3 all day and not own a car, a girl will despise that guy as less than a man surely?

Watching buff dudes touching each other... sounds so nice.

EDIT: Do not take this seriously. //12

It's only as childish as you make it out to be. Be proud of your fandom buddy!

[Arrisu]

It's only childish if you hide it from people like it's a bad thing. If you accept your hobbies for what they are, people around you are more likely to do the same.

I'm starting a ball-jointed doll collection at eighteen years old, and my friend and i are planning to create storybooks with these dolls. There's nothing to be ashamed about, I am my own person. Nobody molded me to be a certain way.

But don't girls tend to be critical of men who don't do things that men should do like owning car, having an apartment etc..

i bet many girls would rather have a guy for them who have such, but will laugh at guy in 20's who still likes to collect pokemon cards.

i mean girls seem very picky in their choice of guy and judgemental right?

[Haoie]

Nah. It just makes you a redneck.
