    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.

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

    Sounds like a tantum dive and not skydive.

    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 :D

    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.

    Op, you did not answer me...what is niche cooking?

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

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

    I like to live life on the edge. Fly tying brings a thrill that is unrivaled.
    Feather dyeing is a pheasant hobby until you realise it's just a gateway to unrestricted fly tying.

    Anyone describing themselves as a "hardcore mountaineer" is suspect.

    Same as a niche cook!

    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.

    Not Your Ornery Onager


    2/10 for your fake hobby list.

    Not your ornery onager

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,324 ✭✭✭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.

    theballz, hating women as a hobby.

    I trek across the Artic and Antarctica regions as a hobby, I set up camp and kill my all my food. It's ridiculously easy with the right clothing and gear. :rolleyes:

    I find even the most hardcore outposts now take Mastercard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,206 ✭✭✭✭anewme


    OP seems to be gone AWOL.? Must be caught out in a hardcore storm on a short hill with no contact from the outside world. Thoughts and prayers everyone.

    Decent wine selection too. White obviously, always pre-chilled which is a bonus.

    Ah yeah, what was the saying;

    Anyone who said that one person can't change the world has obviously never eaten an undercooked bat.

    Most women I know don't really have any hobbies unless you include hanging out with friends or scrolling through Instagram as hobbies
