TRP Hobbies and such.

Eating well -- I used to think cooking was for women, then I realized that Eating Healthy is above anything including women and working out and that me, and only me can control my healthy eating habits. -- Becoming so aware about what you're eating that you understand why eating a hemp heart is healthier than eating canned beans.
Hiking/Climbing/Gardening -- Also sounds like some feminine shit but when you get over that preconcieved notion, being around nature is also very important for quality of life. If you build and create a garden that grows majestically in your back yard not only will it make you feel good to read and chill in it, it will make you feel like fucking Adam dominating Eve when you bang in it.
Team sports - Learn a team sport basketball, volleyball, hockey, etc understanding how to be a leader on a team of athletic people and to motivate teammates will help you grow as a human and learn how to apply dominance against an enemy (the opposing team) and learning how to convert aggression into positive results.

I've started Ultimate, Rock Climbing, and healthy eating. Bringing me a total of 53 lbs down since finding TRP.

I used to be into electronics a lot when I was a kid, and I still do some; same for woodworking although I am not at your level, I'm sure.

My only problem is that those hobbies are not social enough, therefore employ a big chuck of your time away from social activities. And the little social aspect that they have is in guy-only circles.

You have those skills, which will stay with you for the lifetime, but I was somewhat in your shoes, and I opted to pursue more social passions, namely play my guitar and volunteering in a couple of non profit organizations, organizations and functions that are very social with like-minded people (details withheld for obvious reasons).

Keep in mind, that the #1 reason why I volunteer is because I believe in the mission of those organizations, the social aspect is an added benefit.

Wine making and marksmanship. Although I wouldn't do them together.

Those are not what I'd call "red pill" hobbies. What I'd consider as such are any that raises your SMV. Rock climbing, martial arts, fitness, or something that could lead to fame like acting part-time as an extra are some examples that come to mind. Hobbies and side-jobs like that are what you should be including in your day to day lives IMO. It's cool having hobbies like woodworking or robotics or whatever, but those aren't going to help you get laid except in rare cases. You might be able to swing somethign like that into a business, in which cause you'd be top dog in that very little pond.

I play a ukelele. its better than playing video games, it puts me to sleep and its fun.

I also do Ju-Jitsu twice a week, mountain bike on weekend afternoons, and focus on cleaning, cooking, and make those events fun.

I also am not afraid to try new things, like taking non credit glassblowing classes and such. LIFE IS FUCKING FUN. Live it man

I play 5 or 6 instruments in the guitar family. Record and perform my own music.

Changed diet (down 70 lbs), weight training and playing bass (got into a classic rock/blues cover band).

Almost anything can be a hobby. Some are social, some are more isolated. Just leave room for a few social hobbies and your good.

Knife throwing. Them good ol' boys know what's up.

Also, motorcycle riding.

Painting is my favorite. I paint when I see a meme that is really funny and can be translated into acrylics. It's a boyish spin on painting. Painting anything else seems like it'd be gay/a waste of time.

Wood carving. I carved a paddle for plates most recently. Your game can't change a girls mind or put the breaks on a tantrum like my paddle can(I practice Taken In Hand techniques with consenting partners). I tried to do chainsaw art for a while, but I moved and can't play with a chainsaw at my new appartments.

Edit: if you want to carve or work with anything really sharp, make sure to buy all the proper equipment for a project. I recently stuck a very sharp chisel in my wrist and got 5 stitches, which wouldn't have happenned with the proper tools.

Tried basketball. It just fucked up my knees.

Powerlifting. Aka an excuse to get fat and stay secure. I'm floating perpetually in the intermediate bracket.

Krav Maga if it is offered in your area. It is a no nonsense, life or death self defense class that will make you view every day situations in a completely different perspective:

I should sit with my front facing the restaurant door. If someone attacks me from behind I will use the fork to stab them in the neck. If someone walks in and starts shooting I will hide behind the register and then bee-line out the back door.
