Hobbies besides gaming

i enjoy cooking (which some might define as odd because i'm MALE... but it's how i was raised)

Really? You know, it's hard to consider cooking being odd for a male while being on a forum where half the men watch cartoons for young girls.

For me, hobbies are things that you do casually, that entertain you without being too engaging.
so for me, I guess that's smoking weed and interacting with shallow, attractive, insecure women

I do have a couple of things which are more than just hobbies for me.
This is one of them:


If everything goes right, I might be doing this for a living next year. That would be awesome.

 

[Bishop99999999]

Cleaning my guns while waiting for the communists to invade America.

Also bike riding.

 

[steeple]

american football (calling it a hobby would be an understatement of sorts), music (listening and playing, specifically the drums), the occasional reading and whatever I find interesting at a given time...

 

[Red Bomb]

Horse riding (also my profession), Cars, Swimming & Poi

 

[Rawne1980]

Training.

I'm either working, sat with my wife and kids or going out somewhere or on my multi gym or down at the actual gym.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Watching pornography, masturbating, cleaning up afterwards,...

And 10 minutes later it comes down to: web design, 3D modeling, programming, mild game design, messing with new game engines, modding, reading on rare occasion, sports every once in a while,...

you are correct, but i never did say some people HERE might find it odd. cooking has always (in this culture) been generalized as an effeminate role, and while people in a community like ours tend to break a few of these generalized rules, people as a whole still tend to see them that way. even when i was raised initially, cooking was seen by me and my family as a female role, but as i grew (and parents separated) i was taught the importance of being able to cook and care for yourself. beyond the microwave-dinner standard. something not generally seen as done by males that wern't professionals.

and i am also (i dunno if it's sad, funny, or what) one of those grown men who watches cartoons many might describe as being intended for young girls... but i also talked about enjoying film (i include TV shows and anime in this as it IS still film... technically) i watch a lot of anime on my free time (both shonen and shojo) and enjoy it immensely. though some take more effort to enjoy than others...

 

[Srs bzns]

Guitar, mainly.

I want to get into making electronic music, however with my current knowledge on the subject and the computer I currently have it will be like scaling a cliff face with a phone charger.

Any suggestions?

 

[KuroShinobi]

Karate, Reading Manga, Watching Anime, Hanging with friends. Pretty much sums up most of my hobbies...

 

[dark_mist34]

reading and building master grade gundam models

 

[elcamino41383]

I collect/read comic books. Current generation, mostly Marvel brand. I also see a lot of movies. My friend is the manager of the local theater, so more often than not I get to see most for tree. I also watch anime but I've not seen many good one's recently that I really want to pick up.

 

[Bassik]

Warhammer, mostly 40K and Mordheim, geology, Doctor Who, cycling and walking, and affcorse hanging with friends.

 

[kerlc123]

warhammer 40k, reading books, walking my dog, cycling

 

[TriGGeR_HaPPy]

Besides gaming? Hmm, lesse here... Archery for a few years now, piano and soccer for the majority of my life, soon I'll be learning how to play the violin, singing for a few years, gardening, exercise...
Generally, though, just doing anything with friends, especially outside if it's good weather.

... I'm sure I missed a couple, but it's exam time and I can't really brain right now.

 

[Wuggy]

I do digital drawings and comics for a hobby, mostly in the perspective of illustration and concept art nowadays (you can find my work here http://kriizi.deviantart.com/ ), I also sing (more like growl and grunt) in a death metal band (which you can find here http://soundcloud.com/weateeveryone )

Whoah, this post feels like a massive plug. Sorry about that, you don't have to click the links if you aren't interested.

 

[DarkShadow144]

I practice German longsword mostly. I also like to study things like religion and philosophy
