I must admit, a lot of times I feel like "damn, no matter where I go or what I do, it's all guys here, no girls at all". But I think that's kind of my own fault for liking a lot of nerd stuff. I'm sure there's girls who feel the same way, if their hobbies are things like knitting and dancing and cooking.
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

I saw My Boss, My Hero with a friend last year and really enjoyed it. Still, I don't watch J-drama much... probably because it isn't a habit. What good sites would you watchers here recommend for watching them or finding reviews?

On Topic: Many hobbies like Starcraft, art appreciation or creation, and some sports like golf or swimming, tend to demand solitary time. People more concerned with emotionally connecting to those close to them may prioritize that over improving or exercising their own skills. Hence you might not find them carefully listening to dozens of obscure albums, but they'd be glad to join their friends in going to a concert. After all, what's the point of being pro at something like billiards if no one else cares? You'll be able to socialize with it whether you're great or not.

Just a guess. I have personal hobbies, so yeah I wouldn't know first-hand.


I mainly use torrenting, but if you need to stream then there are a few good places out there. For torrenting D-Addicts is excellent - for Downloads using beta player Veoh.com has a lot of episodes of Toku and Sentai, but not as many dramas. Dramacrazy and My Soju are also popular alternatives.

Generally, relationships take up a portion of a person's life, and outside of that there are personal interests that may or may not be shared with a partner. I think that this works for both sexes. If you are looking at relationships from an external perspective, you are looking at that fraction of things that that person does. I'm saying that the part that you see is the part that is demanding attention of your friends, and not caring about their boyfriend's friends to be forthcoming with you.

On a less specific-to-you note, I'd say that while men and women tend towards different interests, there is an awful lot of overlap, and this thread's generalizations very from very broad to very narrow.

Yeah I dont think many women feel comfortable doing male dominate activities.

Even though it's a really easy way to get attention =p

There's 168 hours in a week. Lets say you work 40 hours and you sleep 8*7 = 56.
168 - 40 - 56 = 72 hours. (52 hours for those who work 60 hours) Every week you get to do pretty much whatever you want for about 60 hours. Take 60 and deduct things like commuting and eating...and you still end up with a massive load of free hours that hit you in the face every week. Now, regardless of the circumstances of your life, if you do not have hobbies or if very little of your time is dedicated to hobbies or to doing the things you like the most out of life, you do not use your time efficiently. its as simple as that. Both male and female.

I think females tend to have pretty "passive" hobbies, while men are more active. Most female hobbies will pretty much be seen as kinda lame by male observers.

All girls are special. They all have the things they love to do and plenty of hobbies. Within each girl is a magical world that is up to us to explore and find out just how everything works. If you ask her on the spot what her hobbies are of course sometimes a girl won't be able to remember because she probably was too busy doing what she does 90% of the day to process the question you asked her (thinking about shoes).

Actually, most guys I know only have watching sports and playing video games as hobbies...

Me? I haven't yet been snowboarding this season (tho I used to every weekend in college) go to concerts (tho it's expensive and no good bands in Seoul really...) I used to go to sporting events a lot, take road trips by flipping a coin to see if we'll go north/south first, then flip east/west, used to play bball with the boys, bake, knit, finish puzzles, paint on canvas, etc.

A lot of that was done while being single though - when one has more time for themselves. While in relationships, I tend to try and accomodate to the guy and try to find activities we can do together...

PS. Boring girls FTL. ugh. they give other females such a bad rep.


Don't blame it on the boyfriend. You know it's your job holding you back.

Isn't it the same both ways? I'm sure plenty of girls think that guys just watch tv and drink beer all day. You have to get to know someone to learn their hobbies/interests. Simple as that. The proportion of boring girls to boring guys is probably very very close. I've never dated a girl that didn't have hobbies and none of my close friends' have had girlfriends that I got to know without some kind of interesting hobby.

When I first read the title of this thread I thought it said: "Why don't girls have rabies?" And for a brief moment, I seriously pondered that question.

Why are games more of a "real" hobby than watching tv? I'm not talking about someone trying to break B rank, but somebody who thinks I'm bored, I'm just going to play someone? Doing things and being active is often contradictory to having a hobby.

Maybe we're defining hobbies as something into which you're competitively invest, something in which you don't talk that much. Maybe hobbies are something that can be viewed as accomplishments?

I agree with this, if you're just bumming around and playing random games it's not any different from watching TV. There's nothing really wrong with not having one dedicated hobby though. It might make you sound like a boring person if someone asks you what you do in your spare time. But you can relate to everyone else who just watches TV since you probably watch the same shows.

I think our multi-tasking society has given rise to people having mini-hobbies - things they spend a bit of time on but aren't very dedicated. I know girls who will go windsurfing with me, but none of them will walk an hour to the beach at a hint of wind like the guys.

This is also a question that mostly comes up early in a friend/relationship, as if you have to ask you obviously haven't spent that much time with them (or you would know what they do). By answering "movies, music, hanging out etc." they are just being protective. It's the same reason everyone you meet listens to "pretty much everything". By letting you know something they hold dear, they are making themselves vulnerable.
If you ask a guy he's gonna say "sports, hockey, football..." manly stuff that most guys like cause its not that weird and you are less likely to say something negative. Ask a girl the same thing and she's not sure what to respond because guys like different things then girls (in general), so she goes with something safe.

yeah there are probably weird little hobbies that everyone has, but girls really do spend 90% of the time "listening to music, watching tv, hanging out, shopping, cooking". It's not the only thing they do, but it's definitely what they do most. But tv music and hanging out with friends is fun, can't blame em really

Girls don't have to be good at anything to attract guys.

Guys have to be good at whatever they do to attract girls.

Thus guys tend to me involved in whatever hobby they're pursuing. Unless they're ripped and hot and good looking, then they just go fuck whoever they want.

I must be the weirdest girl ever. I actually find certain types of fail/incompetence kind of endearingly cute. Like when the boys try to speak English to me and end up talking nonsense. Or when someone has glasses....Dependent guys are a bit of a drag though. I often feel like a girl has to be considered 'hot' for guys to even be friends with her. That's obviously a massive generalization, but some of the men I've met won't even look twice at a less attractive girl.

from a girl's perspective, it might look like guys have no hobbies. All we do pretty much are play games (video games, starcraft, sports, poker, etc) and play competitively while it seems like girls are always looking to do random stuff

Well, I don't think it's THAT massive of a generalization. Actually, I've never seen it happen any other way now that I think about it.

Of course, this is just based on observation, I don't talk to girls, too shy.
