Let's be honest, if you don't go the gym and hone your body into the best shape it can possibly be you're doing it wrong. I can't fathom anymore the mindsets of people who don't go the gym, of people who are content with being average and unremarkable. I've been going the gym for just over a year now and I can honestly say it's completely changed the way I view life.

brb in great shape
brb working out inspired me to keep a healthy diet
brb stand out from the crowd
brb respect from guys, girls wanting my body

Used to stay inside all day playing games, writing fan fiction (the fact that at one point I was writing 3 Halo fan fictions on this site says it all really) and being depressed with my life. Almost as soon as I started working out the bouts of depression I used to have completely vanished, I realised there was more to life than gaming and internet and started going out. Now a year later I'd consider myself an extrovert.

Why don't you work out and why doesn't your body look as good as mine? If you do and it does, good for you.

I am pretty fit myself (as I do Parkour/Freerunning regularly and had been a gymnast and a high-level hockey player for quite some time), I still don't agree with what you're saying. My point of view, is this: I don't think humans were meant to be physically adept. If we were, we'd be the superior species on the planet from a physical standpoint. We [i]are[/i] the superior species, but no based on physical condition. What makes us dominant, is our intellect. So instead of, I don't know, wasting your time at the gym, it might be better to sharpen your mind with more and more knowledge. Don't get me wrong, doing physical activities are great fun, but I don't think if you aren't physically adept than you're "doing it wrong". Mind>body. Just my two cents.
