I raise chickens.

>>42831266
This actually sounds pretty fulfilling. I live in the city though, unfortunately. Country life sounds /comfy/.

>>42831288
Country life can definitely be a fun experience. I'd warn you that it can be very tiring not seeing others, and can be hard to meet others as neighbors are often doing their own work.

I like to rub my cum on the filters of cigarettes, put them all back in the pack, and then leave it where someone will find it and hopefully smoke them.

>>42831288
Depending on your city's zoning laws/if you have a house its possible to raise chickens in the city. I know a few people in Houston and Austin who do it as a hobby.

I like mycology and other nerd shit.

i also have conflicting feelings toward this area of self-improvement
at what point is self-improvement, as tyler durden says, just masturbation?

all those self-improvement articles always talk about this need to cultivate yourself to become an interesting person
>pick up an instrument
>engage in hobby X or Y instead of Z because X is socially acceptable but Z is lame
why stop there then
>always be learning a new language
>pick up drawing too
>also you should become a chess master
>and learn the art of improv comedy
>and go snowboarding or skydiving because riding a bike is lame

also why don't women have to have interesting hobbies and shit

>tfw just a sour grape because only hobbies are lifting and riding the longboard

> I like to rub my cum on the filters of cigarettes, put them all back in the pack, and then leave it where someone will find it and hopefully smoke them.

Also this motherfucker cracks me up.

>>42831441
>also you should become a chess master
This is one I've always wanted to do. But I then find myself thinking, "What's the point?" I've always enjoyed playing, but taking it to that "next level" so to speak seems kind of pointless beyond hustling people at a game here and there.

On top of this, how does one cope with the fact they will never be a master at anything. For example, if I even took my chess playing to that next level and dedicated my life to it, I'd still probably just be an intermediate player, never a grandmaster.

>>42831439
i'm no mycologist but that's a damn beautiful specimen. edible?

I like to lift, which leads to me liking to eat well and take supplements, which leads to me learning to cook. Lifting also leads to me reading a lot of articles and research studies about health and fitness, which leads to me reading about biology, biophysics, and (beginner's) biochemistry.
It can be a surprisingly complex hobby, for something that's entirely based around picking things up and putting them down.

>>42831477
This. I was actually Chess "Captain" in my highschool. We were the top team in our school district, out of 7 other highschools. I tried my hand at three tournaments and I was knocked out on 1st and 2nd rounds every time. I was ranked a below average player elo player.

Ego got slapped hard. Don't think I've actually played in 5 or 6 years now.

>>42831484
So ur like a nerd lol

>>42831502
Some people are just born high IQ/natural ability and others have been doing it since they were a child. Even worse would be a combo of both like Mozart or something. How can brainlets like us compete?

>>42831450

join a community that plays the game, a real person club or a online group, see one of the online tutorials and then try playing in the small boards for a time

there is a reddit group r/baduk where people ask for lessons and reviews, you could start there

>>42831477

depends, do you have an elo or you just know the rules? do you even enjoy chess or you just want to prove yourself something with it? chess and go shines after you know the fundamentals (meaning, you don't make basic blunders), but for that you need to train with a lot of chess and go problems first, and break the 1300-1500 chess barrier, most of people just know the rules and barely recognize basic shapes and patterns while playing

I find go more enjoyable in the higher level than chess, and far less frustrating, but that's just my opinion

>>42831454
>I heard that that game is more complex than chess.
Not that guy but its only more computationally complex because there are more spaces than a chessboard. There are less rules than chess but the configuration of the pieces can create some interesting cases. There is a lot of strategy vs tactics trade off.

>>42831533
>combo of both like Mozart or something

When you go into fields solely to impress other people.
It's not masturbation if you legitimately just have a lot of interests and pursue them all. That just makes you passionate.
But if you learn/do something just so you can impress people and massage your ego then it's just masturbation.

Women don't care about your hobbies.

The trick is to criticise their hobbies and keep them on the back foot to try and impress you.

You need to renew your passions!! Are you staying true to your path?
What is important to you? reflect upon yourself and find out what is most important and gives you the most happiness and then go do that! Guitar is great and as a fellow guitarist who has lost his way, I found it again today playing some guitar with my little brother. It comes back, you just need to focus on it again. If it's something new that you are looking for, stop being lazy / asking for people to find your passion for you. Go to a book store and follow your intuition / gut feeling on things that spark your interests. go around and flip through a bunch of books, grab like five of your favorites and sit down and read some with coffee. The the one that you get stuck reading the most, buy that one. Repeat things that are like the aforementioned, and you will begin to find new things and add depth to your personality and enrich your mind and soul.

Every weekend I go /out/ usually alone, sometimes people come along, but fuck I much prefer being alone except for how you need to find some locker to leave your stuff before dipping in the beach or whatever.

Hello Himmler.

>>42831250

I play the piano and compose my own music. I've been playing for 21 years and see a teacher every other week to keep advancing . I host music nights at my apartment so that my friends and I can play for each other (and our other, non-musical friends).

I go to a lot of concerts. Basement shows, artsy shows in small spaces, shows in peoples' houses, jazz clubs, big orchestral concerts at the symphony hall, you name it I'll go listen.

I read at least one chapter of a space opera type Sci-Fi book every day. Right now I'm reading "Redemption Ark" by Alastair Reynolds.

I also like beer so I go out of my way to try new ones. There are a few local breweries that are constantly rotating their tap lists so I often go there with friends, my GF, or to read by myself.

My brother. It sounds like the most turbo virgin hobby, but in my experience, if girls see my paints and minis in my room and ask, they tend to say that they think it's cute, artistic, or nerdy (followed by a proclamation of how they like nerdy guys). I think people like finding quirks in others, it humanise people in their minds.

It is but only under the assumption you are reading worthwhile books with at least a minimum of intellectual pretense.
You don't have to read Hegel and Kant but people claiming to be intellectual avid readers while gobbling down on nothing but 50 Shades or Warhammer nerd novels are cancer.

For me I play guitar and trumpet and gardening and woodworking are also nice.

Agreed. Also these pop-science, pop-econ, pop-philosophy, pop-psychology shit books are cancer too. Refer to Bernie Sanders' new book which is 200 pages but with fucking 1.5 inch margins and 16 point font kek.

Also, pic related. Some girl pop-poetry. Rupi Kaur's collection of """poems""" called Milk & Honey. It makes me rage that this book has been translated into like 12 different languages and sold millions of copies around the world.

It's fucking trash. Women regard it as high prose and enlightening yet scoff at William Blake for example.

There are a bunch of other great auto YT guys to learn from but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Avoid vlog shitheads like AdamLZ

I read Harry Potter fanfics, tho I hide it.
Cooking, when I have the time for it.
Fixing stuff. No matter the job, be it masonry, plumbing, electrical, appliances, I'll have a go at it, and get it done 9 out of 10 times. I could be your perfect wife!
Building stuff. That's what I studied, product/industrial design, and it's a passion of mine. I really like working with wood, metal, "pure" materials that I can work with little to no power tools. DIYing in general.
Learning. How stuff works, how the world works, how people work. Wouldn't call it a hobby tho.
Dancing, but lately I've been unable to pull the energy after a week of lifting/working.
Cars, tho I'm too poor to get an enthusiast car, I still love the fuck out of my econobox. Built a motorized tricycle once. Used to wrench a lot on my dad's van.
Electronics, used to make a lot of shit, but lately all I got time for is to repair appliances.
Sketching, comes with the job.
I'd love to learn how to play the piano.
Gotta continue learning Mandarin, my study group came apart and I haven't looked for new classes.

The first line is true if it is something socially odd, like growing fungi for fun. If motorcycles or being a performing/professional instrumentalist is a hobby, they will definitely care in a good way.


Your second line is ON POINT son.

People who talk your ear off about their hobbies, and all the things they do, reek of insecurity. Don't be one of them, pick things up if you feel like it, not because you feel the need to be interesting. If trolling internet boards is what does it for you, go ahead.
