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

theballz · 24-04-2020 06:05PM #1

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.

Bang of yank off the OP, assuming it's not a windup.

I also heard it's popular with the rugby fraternity.

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.

Sounds like some rubbish Neil Strauss would have written about

Rot?

This another one of those interesting takes on the word "everyone"

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.

My latest hobby is trying to extract the alcohol from hand sanitizer.

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.

Hardly a hobby, sure it sounds like you're only doing it like max 4 times a year

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