Are You an Avid Indoorsman?

Posted on Dec 11, 2018 Topic : Men's Christian Living

The Avid Indoorsman is a rare breed, and locating him out "in the mild" is something few people successfully accomplish. This is mainly because he keeps his doors locked, especially at night. But if one can ever gain access through his hinged gateway to the indoors (i.e., the door), behind it awaits a master of his domain whose life choices and life skills evoke deep insight and admiration. The Avid Indoorsman makes the indoors; it does not make him.

General Characteristics of an Avid Indoorsman

Prefers a temperate climate and thus lives with a daily sense of gratitude for the modern marvels of HVAC systems and thermostats, by which he can actually dictate what the climate will be.
Thrives on technology and is generally more adept at understanding it than the average person.
Values privacy from the outside world by creating an inside world, wherein self, friends, and family can safely gather.
Is often labeled an introvert, but this can be a misunderstood oversimplification reflective of his habitat more than his habits.
Thinks frog gigging is merely an outdoor concert in the rain rather than what it actually is. Regardless, he would prefer to do neither.
Contrary to popular belief, he is not afraid of roughing it and may even occasionally go camping with his family or friends, but as a master of Indoorsmanship, he will recreate many of the comforts and advantages of the indoors in whatever outdoor space he finds himself.
Possesses an effortless, almost instinctive ability to seamlessly assimilate the latest app (and whatever service it provides) into his daily life, which means with a few clicks on his phone or even a few voice commands, he can order and have delivered to his doorstep anything he wants or needs in life, often having it arrive on the same day.
Lives his life according to a moral compass, unlike his Outdoorsman counterpart, who is more likely to live his life following an actual compass.
Technological devices and software seem to know and respect him in a way they don’t interact with lesser Indoorsmen, resulting in an absence of errors, phone freezes, program crashes, and all the other general malfunctions of technology that tend to plague everyone else in society.
Is an early adopter—if not a beta tester—for new devices and software, which includes an enthusiasm for the latest updates that cause problems for all other device owners and users. Because of this, the Avid Indoorsman is virtually immune to viruses and all other tech disasters.
Is the hub of knowledge for all his friends, family, and often even strangers for issues with their technology, which can cause him to sometimes feel overwhelmed and compel him to screen his phone calls.
Sometimes experiences phantom phone vibrations even when he does not have his phone on him at all.

Are you ready to become the Avid Indoorsman you never knew you were dreaming of becoming?
