{{merge|Furry lifestyle}}
A '''furry lifestyler''' is one who lives a [[Furry lifestyle|furry lifestyle]], to put it simply. However, like most things in the furry community, the term ''Lifestyler'' tends to have different meanings depending on who you ask, and the context. It varies in the amount of devotion to the subculture, but usually it is exclusive to the more extreme cases.

*The broadest, simplest and shortest definition of this word was put forth by [[Renard Foxx]] and states simply that "A lifestyler is any person for whom [[furry]] extends beyond an simple interest and affects their daily life."

* To some, this term has a decidedly negative connotation and is used to refer to those within the community who flaunt and publicly display their furry tendencies in every social situation, those who are unable to distinguish between the situations which are appropriate or not for furry behaviour and those who try to impose furriness on others.

* To others, the definition of "furry as a way of life" is more accurate. For these furs, furriness is not something that you do, it is something that you are, an inseparable part of oneself. It may be a part of their [[spirituality]]. This is distinct from the notion of being a [[furry fans|furry fan]], who, by contrast, can choose to 'not be furry' at times.

* The term is also used to describe those who choose to participate in furry activities, yet are perceived as not being truly furry (a highly subjective evaluation). This viewpoint is most often expressed by those who have been in the fandom for longer periods of time when talking about newcomers, especially those who try to rapidly immerse themselves into the fandom.{{fact}}
