>and does lifting help with them?

yeah, it gives me strength, stability and endurance, I could improve it by doing more cardio but so far Im okay with my increased skills that make those tasks easier

>pic related, two weeks ago hiking Nevado de Toluca, Mexico

Your hobby is being a sociopath. That's something new and refreshing.

You're a tryhard, aren't you. You couldn't stand being like other people, so you're trying so fucking hard to think outside the box and do uncanny shit.

I like that.

I play mtg, all the nerds hate me, and the scene girls love me since it rare to see a fit guy playing mtg.

Basically her and every other American out there.

As a non American, the main thing I notice about them besides how loud/fake they are is that they all have some shtick or persona they are trying to portray.

For guys it seems it's important to do some sort of yelling at the camera type of pose followed up by telling everyone about how they love hiking and reading "Meditations" by M. Aurelius.

For girls it's making weird faces at camera and looking like typical party slut or some type of crossfitter. There's also the vintage/left crowd but they're not really worth considering.

Before I started lifting

Vidya
MTG/D&D
Music/Video editing
Being a "Foodie"
Model rocket building

After I stopped hanging out with most of my shitty friends and started lifting and trying to be better at life.

Skydiving
Hiking(PNW)
Paintball

.....
I'm trying to start my own company now, and don't really know what social people do for fun.

Also everything is fucking expensive.

>>40286161
wow bro ur fuken harkore

Dota 2, lifting doesn't really help

basketball and rugby, yeah ofc it does

Trying to get into a non-competitive hobby like drawing or writing but I just can't be arsed for some reason.

>>40286161
I'd love to skydive one day.
>>40286210
>>40286260
I'm not denying this at all. You're both pretty accurate.

About the sociopath thing, this is the only thing I do that comes even close to it and I'm not a good/real sociopath as I target vulnerable people. I also pay for all their shit and make them have fun and never do something they dont want to.

giving my dog belly rubs
reading
watching old BBC docs
some vidya (2h/day max)
i go walking in the summer because i now live in a gorgeous city

>>40286478
I've looked it up a few times and it's not that expensive to do, one question. What do you have to do to be allowed to skydive without a instructor?

>>40286504
for most agencies, just to fill the disclaimer for injuries/death

many will recommend having jumped many times and having your own equipment, in fact many places do this, they rent you a space in their aircraft and they tell you when to jump only

>>40286097
>language learning
Hell yea lifting helps, when learning new words I'm all about the reps and sets
essential 2k words lightweight baby

Also guys try ballroom dancing. Goes very nice with lifting since this is how you actually get girls - even being an omega you are literally forced to hold hands with a girl and lead her in a dance

forgot to add, I recently discovered I like being on rented yatches just chilling and doing fucking nothing, shits cash and lots of relaxing, I think this could be my next vacation

>>40286097

Magic the Gathering (feels more normie tier lately, all my old hs buddies apparently play now)

Some vidya (I generally think vidya is gay and a waste of time but lately I've gotten into a few games when I have time)

Just got into Warhammer, I'm painting some Tau faggots right now.

Drawing and painting are huge for me.

Drumming. Okay work out if you really wail on your kit, keeping a rhythm is good for breathing and mental focus I find.

Listening to new music, going to see live shows. I enjoy finding out about good bands.

>>40286331
I'm an American guy reading meditations right now. Shit...

>>40286680
There is nothing wrong with reading it. Its a good/great book depending on your tastes and outlook on life.
Just don't go around blowing your own horn about it. Reading is like lifting in a way that it shouldnt define your life, but rather be a way for you to achieve some other goals and experience life in a more meaningfull manner.

>>40286738
Exactly my friend.
I look like I lift and am pretty big and I often get complimented not only on my looks but on the fact I'm not constantly talking about, pushing it on other people and not constantly showing it off and wearing clothes that are to tight for me. Even when I'm in a group and somebody starts talking about lifting to me I tell them we can talk some other time about it when there are no people who give jack shit about lifting. Most people dont like it when others talk aboit their routines, bodies and diet. It makes them insecure and feel bad about themselves. No use being big and aesthetic if people think you're a narcissistic meathead douche.

40k doesn't repel chicks unless you're a fat smelly neckbeard

>>40286940

Naturally, but not because of 40k.

Adventure motorcycling.
Lifting helps a lot. Being confident that I can lift my heavily laden bike up when I've come off (and am injured) or able to manhandle it out of somewhere helps a lot.

I don't enjoy anything any more.

>>40286288
This, except I kicked MTG in favor of actually complete experiences like White Wizard Games and Dominion. Fuck lifestyle games.

Writing a shitty fantasy novel
Working on a sci fi web series with a friend

I want to learn making electronic music, in the vein of Pretty Lights, and a form of dance

I read books, mainly history and classics (though I've been dabbling in mythology and religion)

Anime, video games and other stupid shit

Making a YouTube series discussing Classical history and culture topics. So far that's been a good creative output and lets me get over my nervousness of public speaking

>>40287919
What's the web series about?
