There's apparently some kind of social stigma with gamers. We're seen as the kind of people who can stay down in the basement, staring at the TV with a sweat-soaked controller in hand. It's not really what you would call an active lifestyle, and in America, "going out" as well as being in top physical condition are valued qualities (ironic, since America has a really high obesity rate). So whatever. Screw 'em, man. I can say that high school jocks are over-aggressive, AIDS-carrying, assholes and lead questionable lives, too. It's all stereotypes. You see fat gamers, you see slim gamers; you see nerdy gamers, you see socially competent gamers. Next time someone tells you to "get a life" because you're a gamer, tell 'em to piss off and mind their own business.
