What do you guys do for fun?

I would like to take the moment to remind anyone reading that the red pill are guidelines and strategies and theories designed to improve your life, it is not the gospel.

The reason I'm saying this is that you don't have to cut out things you enjoy just because it doesn't align with the redpill's way of life.

After work, my idea of a good time is to hit the gym (M, W, F) light up a J and work on guitar, follow that up with a small break at the coffee store around the corner to socialize, then I come home, play a game of Dota 2 with my high school/college buddies or just read a book or research new music theory, fitness information, or anything I'm interested in.

As far as meeting women, I use tinder and socializing at coffee shops or when I go out on Saturdays.

The weekends I spend learning new things to cook, researching the stock markets, and hanging out with friends.

As you can see, there are some "RP" and "BP" activities. I know TRP advocates cutting out video games entirely, but I believe that is necessary when you are playing more than 4 hours a day. Otherwise, I find it easy to control. This is just me, I don't know you nor your habits.

Do what you enjoy, just don't let what you enjoy control you.

Fuck me when fallout 4 comes out i'm literally taking the day off to have a hardcore, dedicated, balls to the wall gaming sesh.

Been workin my ass off, i can't wait.

Cooking, which is awesome as I get to do it at least once every day, without spending extra time.
Dota2, and videogames in general, 2 to 4 hours weekly.
Guitar, I'd like to take some classes, but at the moment I'm still trying to organize my time because of plates and stuff.
My dog, I'd like to take him to the park more often and spend more time, but again, my schedule is messy right now.

As for women, cold approach on weekends if I go to a bar or club, which I should be working harder on, but kinda meh atm. and Tinder while at work.

DeputyDelicious · 2015-10-22T19:23:00+00:00

Video games, Guitar, Gym, Biology(not related to what my degree is in at all), Watching documentaries, and writing jokes(I should start to be more concrete with this might start carrying a journal).

This weekend I am going to a medieval re-enactment. Next weekend I am sailing my boat in a race. All this week after work I watched TV and made arrows to be shot at my friends this weekend.

Apexk9 · 2015-10-22T19:12:32+00:00

I play video games with friends. Hike. Train my Dog. Walk him. Fight. Have sex. Watch a t.v show or movie (huge movie buff) I paint. Rock/tree climb. Do dog sports (schutzhund, barn hunt) cook, draw, play hockey, read, and other various single activities that aren't frequent like dirt biking, kayaking etc...

VasiliyZaitzev · 2015-10-22T19:31:41+00:00

I fuck bitches and I make money.

I write original rock music and front my own band. In the summer I play beach volleyball with kids half my age. Collect (and drink!) fine wines. Read history and biography. Study languages.

redadactyl · 2015-10-22T19:50:00+00:00

I live someplace warm. I kayak, paddleboard, fish, dive, surf, spearfish, golf, and shoot. When its dark I keep up on current research for work (since I love it) and sleep. If its the weekend I hit up a beach bar or take the boat out to one of those bars with a dock.

94redstealth · 2015-10-22T17:58:35+00:00

I love tinkering with embedded electronics but never seem to get around to it

Snufek · 2015-10-22T18:45:01+00:00

I get what you're saying. I've also stopped playing games and now I'm left with this huge gap of time when I don't know what to do with my ass.

So for me now it's boxing. It's fun and I always wanted to do it. And heck it's great.

MisterParty · 2015-10-22T21:41:47+00:00

I study the stock market. It's incredibly interesting and now more fun that TV, video games, lots of other activities.

I cut out gaming

Good. Nothing productive comes from gaming.

My interests are cyclic, I usually do 1 thing for a few months then switch.

1) That being said I do enjoy games but instead of playing them I've started to make them. From doing so I've learnt how to 3D model, can use photoshop to a high degree of proffessionalism and have some basic scripting knowledge. Also just generally improved my art sense and direction (lighting, colour theory, ambient music etc)

2) Make models. I'm really good with my hands and do enjoy modelling when I can afford it, mainly warhammer. Again I try to create rather than consume by casting my own models for re-sale on ebay. Resin casting is a difficult and expensive hobby though! This has resulted in me being extremely dexterous with my hands and I fitted a friends office in about 2 hours to which they said they'd never seen someone work so fast and accurate before.

3) Martial arts, namely Aikido. When I was right into it training took 3 hours of my time which is pretty substantial hunk of the day, 4-5 days a week. It is not the same as working out at the gym there is a heavy social aspect and the real challenge is to not train your body but to train your mind to keep up with the complicated techniques.

4) Every now and then I will get into a reading mode and binge read 5-6 books before stopping on a shit book.

5) Reddit - this is a vice and I WANT TO STOP. Usually I occupy my time with study but this year has some particularly painful subjects that I can't bring myself to dive into. Yea without games I'm probably spending 1-2 hours on reddit a day which is really really fucking bad, but uni is over in a week and I will be free to do other projects.

6) Design. Every now and then me and a friend will come up with a really good product idea. I'll usually dump $50 into making a prototype before hitting a snag somewhere and giving up but I feel like each time I do this I get a step closer to actually making a viable product.

They say "Do what you love" but this saying is only half true. Be creative, not consumptive. Watching Youtube - Consumption, Makinh youtube videos - creative. Playing games - consumptive, making games - creative. Watching sports - consumptive, playing sports - creative.

Do something you love so long as it is creating value, not consuming it and you will be succeful.

I know reddit is purely consumptive for 99% of us so I want to stop
