Do you only have hobbies because girls like guys with hobbies?

Read the fucking sidebar.

You get hobbies because you like them and make you less of a boring schmuck

You do hobbies to make your life more interesting if women like you great but to me a wage slave life is not appealing . Having even small outlets helps make life feel more worthwhile. Plus you get to try new shit out.

If you are ok with a life of work-> home -> work -> home then far be it from me to tell you not to enjoy it .

Women rarely care about your hobbies by the way ,having hobbies just is another way to help establish their value/ role in your life and that you spending time with them is a privilege because you could be spending that time doing anyone or anything else.

Girls don't hook up with me because of my hobbies.

At best they're convenient fuel for the hamster to convince her she's not a shallow hoe.

At worst they work against me since most of them aren't stereotypical alpha male activities.

It's bullshit. My friend has no hobbies. All he does is work and goes out clubbing to get hammered on weekends. He usually picks up and has multiple FWBs.

Having hobbies will mean nothing if you don't invest in directly approaching. I spent many years on many hobbies which required large amounts of time alone in the basement of workshop but never chased women. I dumped them all (except for pool) and consider approaching by hobby now.

Edit - it's worth mentioning that these hobbies made me who I am today, which is great. I came to realize women don't give a fuck about your hobbies except to brag to her friends about 'how interesting you are'.

Some of the shit I've done over the past 30 year: cabinet-making, saltwater clownfish breeding, B&W large-format photography, digital photography, rock climbing, blues guitar, guitar making, construction, home renovations, orchids, writtng... may have missed a couple. They contributed to making me a 'deep' person but perhaps also a bit of an introvert.

A hobby is something you do because you enjoy the activity by itself, not because it serves any other purpose or any long term goal.

Therefore, if you do something to get girls, it stops being a hobby and becomes a workout. Not that you can't enjoy a workout or your homework, but they are different things and definitely not hobbies.

Also: I don't think girls can understand hobbies.

Unless said hobby is sex, and even then, they can always attach a long term or a financial goal to it.

Anything that you can do that's not based on image and self-interest is alien to girls.
