Everyone roasts girls for not having any hobbies, what are some of YOUR hobbies (SRS)

theballz

I hear girls get roasted for doing nothing other than netflix, pintrest and instagram. Some guys roast girls for considering makeup to be a hobby when it's actually challenging and most definitely a hobby. I consider a hobby as something you do often is outside of a normal routine for others. A hobby to me isn't something you do 4 times a year but for say every weekend or every other weekend. Frankly, I think a lot of guys are hypocritical when they judge women for not having a hobby especially when they say their hobby is playing video games.



Mine are mountaineering/alpine climbing, skydiving, tuning cars, shooting and running. I use to be into niche cooking and building computers but that faded away. Pretty sure we are all into the gym here to an extant so there's that.

I don’t give a **** about “the gym” and I don’t really care what female interests there are either. Mine are video games (which I play with my wife) but most women find that “sad” or “creepy”. Therefore whatever these high and mighty women get up to in their spare time is something I couldn’t give less of a **** about if I tried. In fact I’d say the majority of them have worn the batteries out of the devils doorbell during this lockdown, but they are strong independent women so they’ll be fine

I like to live life on the edge. Fly tying brings a thrill that is unrivaled.

WTF. Met a lovely girl, great personality, really level headed, but no hobbies.


Is hobbies code for something else, like pulse?

Not true, lmao. My last GF had zero hobbies besides rot and tag along on my adventures. The one before that was into mountaineering, photography and Irish dancing SRS.

I am the kind of person who puts everything into what I do.

I honestly don't understand, and have less respect, for people who do things for 4-6 months then move on to something else. I know a lot of people like this who may do powerlifting for 6 months, then they go do strongman for 6 months, then they want to try bodybuilding. Then they go start training in a martial arts, then they get into sumo wrestling, then they try out knife and axe throwing for 4 months. Then they brag about how they "love learning new skills" but they never really excell well at anything. They do "ok" or "better than the average" at something and then move on, thinking they mastered it.
To me, people like that are quitters. They never follow through with anything and lack discipline.


I think most of us who are mature and not lucky, realize we arent all able to "do what we love" for a living. If everyone did what they loved the world wouldnt work. So most of us end up working to pay the bills, we need something outside of that to focus our personal growth on. So women who say work a desk job or something obviously not their passion, who then go home and netflix, tiktok, instagram/facebook, hang out with friends, "bake" aka put tollhouse cookies in the oven, etc... Have nothing of value to them.

I see what you’re saying. But the 80/20 rule can carry some weight to counter your statement.

Learn to play piano at the basics very well. Then move on to the next thing as you explained. Unless you’re going to compete in piano. Maybe a poor example but you get the gist Lucy.

Stay safe and healthy.

Mate I camp on sides of windy mountains with massive vertical dropoffs even in the dead of the Alaskan winter, a few times a year when I travel
Over.

All you need is the right gear and know-how. I know plenty who do as well. In fact, camping in the winter is a great way to get the true outdoors experience. No one likes or knows how to survive in the extreme cold.

F*ck campsites. Those are filled with fat tourists in caravans who consider that 'camping'.

I'll try the piano . I pick up new skills faster than most,so it won't take me long.

You seem to feel joy or attain a sense of achievement when presented with joyless and ultimately pointless (in the grand scheme) challenges, others feel joy in other ways.

Somebody who has 6 hobbies and wants to be a jack of all trades might not be pushing whatever fictional envelope you think has to be pushed, but they have a much better chance of feeling happier in themselves than someone who hungers for glory with their mind set on a task that 95% could fail at.

Don't get me wrong - I admire people who're so dedicated that you think they may be mentally unstable or affected (see: 'Free Solo'. Fantastic spectacle but if I knew Alex Honnold or his GF I'd think he was a selfish, borderline suicidal tunnelvisioned prick), but if most people were pushing themselves like that you'd end up with almost everybody either failing worse in their lives than if they'd had varied interests... or they'd be dead.

I did sky diving once, landed without dying. Can you actually excel further than that?

A girl pintresting or netflixing is fine and i will give them that as a hobby. Problem is, i have dated girls where they don't enjoy doing those things if you as their bf are around, they don't enjoy space from their bf to do a hobby. They just want your attention 100% of the time once your both off work. That's where guys go "wtf, how do you not have anything you enjoy doing without me around? fuk i want space from you for a couple hours to go to the gym, go get a hobby"

I dont count watching telly or commenting on boards as a hobby, so pintereting and netflix definitely don't count.
Does shopping actually count as a hobby?

Seems women are just into watching vloggers on youtube and trawling through instagram.

Pintresting or Netflixing....sorry OP, just stop saying those words now!

Have you considered you may be attracting those of a similar intellectual level to yourself?

Yeah man. Especially these days, fkin they got too much on their hands and are now fkin fitness coaches or yoga and ****

I'm a gamer, I don't really talk about it with girls I meet, I'll mention it in passing. I play competitive games, but they get frustrating and annoying after a while. More recently I've found my self loosing interest in gaming.

So I'm doing Yoga, tbh I really enjoy it. Keeps my mind at peace, its really good for the brain and body, so I think once this poxy pandemic stops I might start doing it 3 days a week. Maybe even more because I really enjoy how relaxed I feel

I love to cook, I'm a pretty decent cook ( worked as one for a long time ) So I can spend 3 hours in the kitchen listening to music and preparing food. It's especially rewarding if your cooking for someone, who loves food too.

I'm trying to write a book about my horrendous past. Which is tough because I really want to insult the living **** out of them, I keep having to remind my self hey you need to be the big man in this situation.

My other current hobby is finding a direction for a future job. I've no degree and I'm trying to find an industry that would interest me.

I mean, hardcore mountaineers may only climb peaks 4 times a year, but train and plan the rest of the time.

Feather dyeing is a pheasant hobby until you realise it's just a gateway to unrestricted fly tying.

Is that a Freudian slip, I remember my dad finding pheasant feathers for his flies.

I'm not a mountaineer, so I don't know what the lingo is. Intrepid maybe?

Im not a mountaineer either. So not especially hardcore.

I'm into cooking, so am very interested to see what a niche cook is.

A few people have combined those hobbies. Building restaurants at the top of mountains. But it's risky. The steaks are very high.

JustAThought

I periodically have hobbies but then tire of the group or scene or it triggers another interest and I move onto that after a few years and meet new people in that circle and get skills in that area - not trying out for the olympic games or getting a PHD in anything but enjoying life, expanding horizons and meeting interesting people. No harm in any of that. They are hobbies not life sentences.

Ahhh Yeah, tell that to my Mam, almost 40 years later she is still pissed off that she paid by the week on tick for the Irish Dancing Shoes when we danced like Thundering Elephants and would not go back the second week.
