I spend probably as many as 8 hours a week playing piano, gardening and sewing and doing crewel work (embroidery).
I run and swim everyday but I don't know if working out would be considered a hobby.
I enjoy cooking but I don't know if I'd consider it a hobby. I love making cool dishes with fresh veggies and fruits but when I read some of the stuff elfreak would cook it was way beyond anything I'll ever undertake. I'm more country cooking than gourmet, I suppose. |
I swear to god you will be the best grandma ever.
Everything inbetween is sorta up to the winds though Chrissi... |

Also I am with JBJ on this one, all the girls I know seem to have general interests but nothing specifically that they are really in to.
Its part of the reason I don't even attempt to get a girl because I tend to be fairly obsessive about whatever I am into and if the other person isn't into it as much as I am I will lose interest in the person or just annoy them. |

so you don't like to try and date or find a girlfriend because she probably wont have a hobby or appreciate yours? LOL great way of thinking dude.
my bf has an 87 toyota supra that he's been obsessively fully restoring himself and i let him do his thing and even go out and help when i can. and he helped me with this big plaster elephant i'm painting (he stripped the finish and sprayed primer on it for me). so we help each other with our hobbies and respect that we're into our own things at the same time. |

| Consistency alone does not make an activity a hobby. I do my laundry every Sunday and dishes every night doesn't mean they are my hobbies. It has to have a concept of improvement set by goals motivated mostly by pleasure. |

I said I am obsessive, I honestly can say that it would be a bit of dull relationship if they aren't into what I am into.
That or she'd have to be totally independent on her own for entertainment because I tend to just not care about anything but what I am into. LOL.
Im a selfish . :D |

| That's terrible rationalization Nou. Plenty of obsessive people, include many famous eccentrics, have significant others. |

Remember who you're talking to. |

| I like when I don't have the same hobbies as the person I am with. That's something you can share with that person or keep to yourself. I love fishing, but that's more of my boyfriends hobby, so that's something he gets to do by himself to unwind. For me it's either reading, working out, or writing which I get to do on my own, or with him. I like teaching him certain things and he likes teaching me. It's a win-win because we're not a carbon copy of one another :) |

Seeing as how this is a website almost entirely centred around a personal interest, I don't think this is a great place to ask this sort of thing.
I think that women seem less impelled for a few different reasons. Least of all the heritage of social pressure and traditionary conditioning though - there is a strong, evolutionary undercurrent that urges them to collect seed just as males feel impelled to plant it. This is pretty much everything, or so it seems. Things have changed a lot in the last 100 years, but they've also very much stayed quite the same. Also, the criteria us males take for granted is a standard unto which we judge who we feel to be our peers in virility/violence - not to mention the prescribed media image of what a male 'should' do with his life - why are we so seemingly hard-wired to hold females to this same standard? Seems a bit disjointed.
That crying little optimist in me wants to think that there are probably more 'smart' (or at least resourceful) females in the world than males though - social networks being the crux of this dynamic. This isn't to say anything good about females though, just that the drones of our species are clearly cut and more often than not destined to be nothing more than fertilzer (so to speak). |

Yea like I said, most girls I know or have met tend to rely on their significant others for all forms of entertainment or engagement. If I can find a girl totally into her own thing you know... I just haven't found any like that.
Actually one, but I didn't pursue... :p |
