High SMV hobbies for teens

ReefaShark · 2018-10-25T23:04:38+00:00

You need to talk to your parents about being less controlling before you resent them for the rest of your life. Ask to talk to them and say you know they make restrictions to help guide you, but you need a chance to make your own decisions.

dukes1998 · 2018-10-25T23:15:52+00:00

You are a dork because of the latin, math and physics clubs, but if you're going to be in them, make it fun and be the coolest guy in the room. If you can't do that then the problem isn't that your hobbies are uncool.

Other than sports in HS the only other "hobby" the kids you want to hang out with have is most likely smoking pot and drinking. If you decide to dabble do so with caution and don't get too into it.

Also tell your parents that you have perfect grades, are in lots of other clubs and want to meet new, cooler people. Be direct and honest and tell them you think it would be good for you physically and socially. If they still don't bite tell them that their being controlling is only going to make you that much more wild when you go to college and are on your own and see how they react lmao.

Learn to play guitar. It's a ridiculously efficient pussy magnet.

Rollo_Mayhem3 · 2018-10-25T22:55:27+00:00

So no sports? What about how to build car/motorcycle engines or to rebuild them. Autobody.

Btw, tell your parents to fuck off, what about swimming or track, low impact sports?

Few things since you’re 14:

Begin working every summer. You’ll become more mature, learn the value of money, and stand out during college apps (and in the future). Good jobs, apply yourself, try to get office-level work with your skills.
Prioritize school, read constantly, blah blah.
Build rapport with others in your class, get into a leadership position (esp during Jr, Sr year). This is to help you with college apps.
Think in the longterm. That alone will differentiate you from 90% of your peers.
Keep lifting. Don’t focus too much on girls (for LTRs, have fun with the squeeze), esp at your age.

As for your current dilemma, you could try a musical instrument. I personally like to fingerpick on my guitar during free time, but choose something that you enjoy.

Another hobby to potentially take up is business ownership. This is high value in two ways: monetary and intrinsic. You learn new things and get some cash off of it. I started my first “business” when I was the ripe age of 13, built computers. I ended up losing money in it, but now I run a very profitable sneaker business at 17 (clothing brand under works, I just bankroll and run operations, don’t handle product - not my style) and it’s yielded me some nice returns in life outside of just the money.

Carry yourself with poise to convince your parents that they aren’t as necessary. Prove yourself too. Don’t do dumb shit like self-sabotaging with your grades.

That shows a lack of maturity and fails to demonstrate that you know what is beneficial for yourself. You must become more independent in every regard.

dm me jf you have any questions.

CalvinRichland · 2018-10-25T22:53:06+00:00

They say you can't play any sport?

nebula79283 · 2018-10-26T01:05:33+00:00

Are you Indian

GayLubeOil · 2018-10-26T00:55:20+00:00

Everyone here is going to give you conventional normi advice. Like seriously scroll through the comments and ask yourself if you anticipated that response. Of course you did.

Anyway I'm a Red Pill Alpha Genius, very unconventional out of the box guy.

High SMV hobby in highschool: Airhorn musician.

Randomly blow an Airhorn in class, especially of she's saying some gay Feminist shit. Tell her your an airhorn musician and that's what you do.

Get in trouble.

Get blowjob for being high SMV alpha bad boi.

propranolol22 · 2018-10-26T01:07:01+00:00

You mentioned in another comment: "4 years of being unpopular"

This points out a greater issue than your parents. High SMV means not giving a shit about whether your popular or not. It means doing whatever the fuck you want and not giving a shit about what other people think. Joining a sport is good, but doing it because you hope it will make people like you more is going in the opposite direction of where your trying to end up.

My advice? Read. Fiction, nonfiction, all of it. Books let you become more aware of the world around you, give you new ideas, accumulate knowledge. You're young and you haven't had enough experience in life to decide your hobbies? Develop a love for reading and get ideas for hobbies from that. Plus, I doubt your parents will become so oppressive as to keep you from reading, and thus continuing to learn and better yourself.

But seriously, stop trying to be 'popular'. It's idolized a lot. Parties aren't THAT fun unless your extraverted, which it sounds like your not. I have met plenty of 'popular' kids that never got laid either, on the contrary, I have met very introverted kids who have high SMV in their own, quiet-suave kind of way. Dont try to change yourself to fit a literal culture meme.

Lift, read, keep getting good grades. Doing all those things consistently will push you ahead of 95% of the other guys. Trust me, most of the ones you idolize now will be earning US average income in a decade.

trpthrowaway2003 · 2018-10-26T01:28:33+00:00

This question, has been asked in the same form, multiple times in the past week.

I smell a troll.

ryeprotagonist · 2018-10-26T01:32:41+00:00

Guitar. Motorcycle. You're welcome.

shanghaiboii · 2018-10-26T05:05:24+00:00

You're 14. Tell them that it's your own life and you have a chance to figure out your own shit before you enter into this nasty loophole. You will make mistakes along the way, but it will feel better than your parent babying you every step and ending up in a place you hate, even if they meant well.

Uberfeedus · 2018-10-26T05:41:07+00:00

any art. get in touch with your creative side.

44361066 · 2018-10-26T06:47:53+00:00

Photography. Learn it

wawakaka · 2018-10-26T00:39:29+00:00

listen to your parents.

learn music like the guitar, drums, or singing. tell your parents music improves the brain function

dtyler86 · 2018-10-26T01:07:21+00:00

Fuck SMV.. you’re 14 dude. Have fun, let women fuck your life up later on. Frankly, I’d honestly say TRP isn’t even good for you till you have the slightest clue who you are. Obviously knowing what you’re up against is great, but other than being independent, fun, smart, fit-all things you can do now-who cares? Girls aren’t lining up to bang at your age anyway

chazthundergut · 2018-10-26T01:31:05+00:00

You dont play sports or martial arts because your mommy and daddy won't let you?

You want pussy? Wanna raise that SMV? Grow some balls and grow up.

RRBeachFG2 · 2018-10-25T23:59:29+00:00

Lol my parents said no, 404 Alpha not found

snowie42 · 2018-10-25T22:59:37+00:00

Same, I am not sure what kind of hobby to do

2000inchbiceps · 2018-10-26T01:15:44+00:00

Just get really jacked.

StandardDeparture · 2018-10-26T01:22:12+00:00

If they’re all about college admissions, talk about the leadership experience that captaining a sports team will bring your application, or the determination and willpower that a black belt in a martial art will show.

They’re hindering you while trying to help you, but you’ll probably have to speak their language for the next four years before you can legally make all of your own decisions.

screw56 · 2018-10-26T01:47:03+00:00

Model United Nations/ Debate or any club that does public speaking

Spilledmychips · 2018-10-26T01:48:04+00:00

Wtf? Physics, Latin and math are high smv skills. You need to apply the physics/math into a hobbies.

But you can’t replace biological attraction, so you just get in shape.

flashcash12 · 2018-10-26T02:30:47+00:00

What’s so dorky about being part of those clubs. I was a three sport athlete in high school and took AP Calc AB, BC and AP Physics C Mechs, E&M. Just be glad you’re smart.

Theguygotgame777 · 2018-10-26T02:39:05+00:00

Try Theatre. It's a good way to practice charisma, there's always more cute girls in it than guys (most of whom are gay) and if you're good you get a lot of recognition. It's a place where you can really take the lead.

streetlecture · 2018-10-26T02:54:29+00:00

Get huge in gym. All will solve itself.

PepeInfiniti · 2018-10-26T03:02:25+00:00

Start an online business

joefromjersey · 2018-10-26T04:16:00+00:00

Good sports/physical activities to get into if you want to meet chicks: volleyball (can join rec leagues in college and as an adult), rock climbing (a lot of chicks), yoga, gymnastics, CrossFit (although I don’t agree with their training methods), swimming/life guarding, basketball (less).

Dr_Yttrium · 2018-10-26T05:53:54+00:00

If you've got whitewater near you, train to raft guide or take up kayaking. Experience talking, you'll be drowning in pussy without trying. Shit is interesting and niche

slaterhuckle · 2018-10-26T06:52:35+00:00

I think math and physics are pretty cool, latin is also badass. Once you are older like in college and you have those skills you will get way more pussy by being smarter than everyone else. People in highschool night think "oh you speak latin thats so gay" but trust me dude when you get into college if you can speak latin or are like a math tutor or something girls will be like "holy shit he can speak latin i'm SO wet right now". Because most guys can't or are retards when it comes to physics. Having that knowledge will make a world of difference, as long as you are social and not a shut in nerd that just plays video games and never parties. I knew a guy in the math tutoring center at my college who was a scrawny little bitch, and he used to get laid a lot just because he met a bunch of girls who needed help with math and he was smart. He would fuck hot girls too, like ones that wouldn't even talk to me (and I'm swole as fuck and good looking) simply because he was really good at math. In my opinion you should keep lifting, learn guitar or something (its really easy to play basic songs if you can know a few simple chords) but don't give up on your academic skills. If anything become more dedicated to them. High school is your chance to make good grades and score high on your SAT and get a scholarship so you don't get fucked in the ass with debt later in life going to college. Make the most of it and do as well as you can because life sucks a bag of dicks once you are on your own and 90% of your time is spent working just to pay to live. You ever watch glee? Those glee kids are super dorky right? Well I bet they got laid more than the normal guys in school. Girls like guys who are passionate about stuff and those extra things you bring to the table are going to be what sets you apart later in life. Don't think of them as dorky. People might think you are lame in high school because you like math, but in 10 years you are never going to see them again, and those skills are extremely valuable. Trust me dude I partied way too much in high school if i could go back in time I would be in all those clubs and not give a shit about what anyone said.

NexusReflexX · 2018-10-26T08:12:24+00:00

Alright brother, check this out. Im seeing 100+ comments in this thread and i doubt youll actually read this. I hope you do.

Everything your parents are doing. Everything they're forcing you to do. Everything they're disallowing you to do.

Own it. Own it like you have no say in the matter, because reading your comments and post, you don't.

A man faced with adveristy deals with it head on. Not by breaking the rules. Not by trying to find a loophole.

You're forced to take latin classes? Be the best fucking latin dancer out there (you're 23 yr old self will thank you.)

Joeboard · 2018-10-26T11:19:55+00:00

Ive always always been attracted to the adrenaline rush of action sports. Motocross, fast cars, snowboarding, hiking, rock climbing, etc.

Infernowarp · 2018-10-26T12:17:09+00:00

Find a way to get into sports at all costs. I was in math league and president of the Latin club when I was a senior, but I also was a varsity wrestler for 4 years and had a great body. Bitches loved me in HS

morgandavies834 · 2018-10-26T12:25:53+00:00

Photography and guitar will make you a snatch magnet.

maningreenshirt · 2018-10-26T12:38:46+00:00

I understand you may not enjoy maths and physics clubs, but if you're good at maths (and especially computer science!) and stick with it you can have a really fulfilling and rewarding career - and that'll give your SMV a massive boost!

me314 · 2018-10-26T13:08:26+00:00

I would personally talk to your parents to persuade them to allow you to take up an impact sport. As far as high SMV goes in England at least it would be rugby, rowing and track. To maximise SMV pick a sport that is most popular at your school and begin to assert social and dominance within that group

SKRedPill · 2018-10-26T13:33:56+00:00

My advice here is for the next few years of your life till you graduate from college and land a job kid :

Play a few sports, popular ones in your country. So you're Indian huh, Indian schools have poor or non-existent sports in general - they are just devoted to manufacturing nice beta nerds in the factory. In spare time, learn to play cricket or soccer or badminton, those are popular ones.

Get a hobby in men's fashion and style - all occasions, all weather and the like. No dork glasses please - first fix THAT if you're a nerd. Start for your age appropriate and build up. At least learn to select a good looking T Shirt to a good pair of jeans. Learn to style your hair. At least wear a good belt and pair of shoes for your school uniform!

Seriously, learn interior style and design - everything from the furniture to the appliances to the wall paint. You'll thank me down the road.

Learn how to fix your car, even if you're too young to learn how to drive.

Definitely learn how to fight, a martial art and how to use a gun when you're old enough.

Learn to play a guitar, and play stuff that people know and swoon over.

Learn yoga and meditation. At this age, your capacity for learning is at it's raw maximum - learn techniques to improve the way you learn.

Learn to talk about anything OTHER than math and physics and never talk nerd to anyone uninterested - seriously, be what you want in your room, outside, learn to fit in. Never talk anything irrelevant.

Learn to cook - a lot of healthy food and recipes.

Go watch some good movies with high SMV alpha characters -- it'll teach you a lot about what makes men attractive. Confidence, competence, badassery, intellect, situational awareness, speaking, body language.

Learn how to invest your money and what money basically is (it's debt).

Start building stuff with your hands - work on some projects. Try robotics. Hey, no one knows anything in the beginning

Learn to code - seriously, learn to code.

Get a motorcycle when you're old enough for a license and learn how to drive it. Get a cruiser if you can.

Shave your armpit hair. Learn to smell good naturally. Wash your face. Get some men's perfumes - it's a hot and humid country, and most people of your age won't even have the will power to take a bath daily.

Learn how to talk and speak in public - get into debates. Learn how to talk impressively even in a casual conversation.

Time to learn how to talk to girls and just be attractive as you walk into a room, without even needing to do anything.

Don't make close friends with Low SMV losers with bad habits and attitudes. You can help them out and be friendly, but that's it. You're the average of whoever you're with.

Learn to swim.

DO NOT DO ANY OF THESE AT THE COST OF YOUR ACAD WORK. In your country, that's the doorway to Ivy League colleges - most other 2nd or 3rd tier ones are shit. At this age, get your priorities right, and play only after your main work is done. Your next 2-3 years matter more than you can think. Do what the situation needs. Use those vacations after your exams are done.

NO LTRs or even girlfriends in your country right now kid. Your best investment is yourself.

Do not waste your college years (coming up). Learn to be productive. I repeat, do not waste your time simply shagging off 10 times a day, playing games, watching youtube and netflix for anything not relevant, getting hangovers and feeling like crap. It'll make you better than 99% of the competition.

Dude, being an adult is so much more than being a teenager wanting independence. It's about showing that you can stand on your own legs, do an awesome job at whatever's thrown at you, own your shit and start being responsible for others as well. You create and attract what you are.

FelipeAngeles · 2018-10-26T13:41:24+00:00

Being smart and an athlete are not mutually exclusive. Sports teach you discipline, team work, confidence. Math teaches you hwo to think and solve problems. Having a strong athletic foundation along with good academics is a great foundation to have for the rest of your life. Tell that to your parents. Let them listen to Angela Duckworth on Grit on NPR. https://www.npr.org/2016/05/01/476346709/forget-talent-success-comes-from-grit

Sports teach you grit.

SharpestMarbel · 2018-10-26T13:51:47+00:00

Hip-hop dancing. I got girls and they dance. No boys in the ballet, jazz classes, but the hip-hop get some boys in them. You can become on of those U-tube dance poster doing the fort-nite dances!

the-elixir · 2018-10-26T14:08:55+00:00

You’re 14 dude, you have so much time. I wish I knew the things I knew now when i was 14. Your heart is in the right place, just keep doing what you’re doing. I lived in a typical white suburban neighborhood where everyone championed the athletes and wore the same clothes, and the things that people call “lame” in high school are just things that are considered outside their realm of “normal” which, in my town, “normal” was playing lacrosse and wearing vineyard vines everyday.

Ohboohoolittlegirl · 2018-10-26T14:20:38+00:00

Extremesports.. Skateboarding, longboarding even.. stuff like that.

I used to skateboard and got shitloads of attention cause of it. Also a good date where you can show value by teaching them something new, have kino and easily charm them.

CaptainSupream · 2018-10-26T16:16:45+00:00

Do something art related. Music is good, drawing is my preference and advice to you. Because of social media drawing is a huge pussy magnet. Girls love the idea of being a talented artists muse. Suddenly theyre a model and an inspiration, then you draw them well = feelz for days.

In the eyes of your parents it can be seen as high culture, sophisticated, magic, extraordinary. Plus you can do it even if they dont approve.

FrgElder · 2018-10-26T16:26:20+00:00

I wanted to play a sport or martial art, but my parents say no.

This by and far seems like your biggest issue. It's really shitty because you're parents are likely just trying to protect you and raise you how they see fit but they're doing you a tremendously terrible disservice by limiting you like this. Parents don't know everything, hell most of them know next to nothing. Don't take your parents word as the be all and end all of something, do what's right for you.

Ideally you need to convince your parents to let you do what you want and make them realize the benefits of training and competing in sports. There is immense value to what sports give you mentally, team sports especially are essential in developing a well rounded person. They are so important for socializing children that if I had to choose between putting my kids in team sports and putting them in school I would opt for the sports instead and then home school them.

Failing that, you need to do what's right for you and ignoring your parents wishes by any means possible.

Strikingable · 2018-10-26T16:29:19+00:00

Woa, I have good answers. Go pick up skateboarding or bmx, just be rad bro. Back in highschool 9s were always hitting on my buddy just cuz he was very good at bmx. They said shit like, "oh can you jump with it, can you spin it??" They guy did a bunnyhop with that handle spin(dunno whats the real name is) and girls went crazy.

Strikingable · 2018-10-26T17:33:02+00:00

So your main problem is getting more independent from your parents. I feel you had the same type of controlling parents you do. First of all. How good are your grades? If they get better your parents will be more flexible to you. You should be acting more independent, be more social to them. Talk to them, ask their advice. Dont let them decide instead of you, ask their advice on things they have no control over. They will trust you more and let you act more freely. If you pass their test they will let you do your own shit.

runes18 · 2018-10-26T19:17:28+00:00

How do your parents let you lift heavy weights, but not do any other sports? What sort of logic is that?

Anyways, if you want to have some cool skills get into music or try adding bodyweight skills to your lifting routine, in example the planche or the handstand. I'm not sure if you'll increase your SMV, but alteast you'll be able to do some cool skills.

UpperRedSide · 2018-10-27T01:30:37+00:00

1: Lifting. Assuming you lift. Wait, you don't fucking lift?

2: Axe-throwing. It's fun and it looks badass as fuck. Need I say more.

3: Hiking. Nature is lovely. Also, it keeps your cardiovascular health in check.

4: Photography. Plus side of you get into portrait photography and fill up your Instagram with hot girls, generating some mad social proof.

5: Auto Tech. Fixing cars is fun. It's also a great way to not look like a little bitch when shit happens to your vehicle. I akways feel bad for guys who aren't good with their hands.

6: Music. I'm a singer/songwriter and I front an alt rock band. Girls, at least the ones that aren't fucking strange, will literally worship you. Especially if you're a performer who frequently walks a stage.

7: Also, fuck your goddamn parents. It's sad that these kinds of parents don't know what they've done to their relationship with their kids.

My parents were religious extremists who used to beat my siblings and I with all kinds of aparatus, leaving bleeding welts on our butts and thighs. They'd make us fast for three days at a time, spend six hours in a shithole church were everyone screemed and shouted and spoke in tongues, and kept us out of school, always at home, and never allowed us to interact with the neighborhood kids.

And they wonder why, as an adult, I hate their fucking guts.

Nocryingok · 2018-11-05T00:58:22+00:00

Gymnastics, slacklining, parkour,
Drumming (or bongos if your parents don't wanna buy you drums
Cooking (then you can prepare healthy meals for yourself),
Standup comedy or writing or singing skills

derrtderr · 2018-10-25T23:25:27+00:00

Threaten to start flunking unless they let you be free.

Acceptable_Click · 2019-02-11T17:25:04+00:00

How old are you?

It is kind of weird that your parents could "strictly" say no to a thing you want to pursue, especially if it is something that contributes value to you in a way.

NiceTryDisaster · 2018-10-26T05:27:39+00:00

How old are you?
