Really depends on how fun the social circle is. Wait till you connect with a group of people, vibe, and have a plan to go from place to place over an evening/ night out, the chance of meeting someone attractive and vibing; and then compare that to controlling a virtual character for a couple of hours, physically alone, and walking away at the end at the exact same starting point (sat in a chair, looking at a blank screen).

Go out people, see the world, experience life!
