>coworkers ask what are my hobbies at new job>say I like playing video games>they all look at me like that's such a weird fucking thing to sayLiterally wtf is the right answer then? Fixing a fucking car engine for fun? Hunting? WTF do they want to hear?
Cool story faggot
>>741339119Having sex
video games is a pastime, not a hobby
>>741339252What's a hobby then?
>>741339119Normies love to pretend they're doing activities all the time that are somehow better than gaming. The truth is that probably 90% of people you see go home, order takeout food and lie in bed while using their phone for hours at a time.
>>741339119>Literally wtf is the right answer thenYou gave it, don’t worry what normalfags think. Their brains are driven by herd mentality and brainwashing. If they broach the subject again and try to ask what you’re into just give some hyper normalfag shit like CoD or Skyrim. And remember to hide your power level.
>>741339274A job that you don't get paid for. It's a boomer thing.
social media and netflixno really
>>741339119Mine told me "what do you like doing for fun" and I said playing video games and got the same reaction, wtf do normies do for fun?
I used to get the same reaction from norm coworkers and my main hobbies are reading books and working out. Keep your circle between family a girl and a small group of autistic friends.
>>741339119Thats pretty odd. Apathy is the usual reaction because gaming is a boring generic dude hobby. I work in an office space with mostly chicks and I wore a Master Chief helmet on Halloween. When they asked where the helmet was from, no one really cared when I told them it was from a video game I play
>>741339558Oh my gaaaaaawwwd anon is that like a star wars costume
>>741339119I work at a starbucks with like 90% girl coworkers and they play video games. But to them video games = Roblox
>hear a pair of normies chatting about hobbies>"Yeah there's lots to do here, you can play video games-">other guy interrupts "Do you play any video games?">"Me? *snickers* Ahh, no way."whats so funny.. what do you mean "no way".. games are fun..
>>741339119There is no right answer except from "no time with the kids" or "no time with the extra work".I tried just hiding my powelevel and saying reading or watching car races but they all got the same reactions.
If they weren't interested in [answer] then you aren't at least a 6/10 and above average height.>but they were malesPoint still stands
>>741339119At what age can still playing video games be a bad thing?
I had to coax my co-worker into telling me that he likes playing video games. Like the second day I knew him, I asked him what he liked doing for fun and he said "Nothing really. I kind of just watch TV, maybe scroll through my phone."I got to talking to him more, found out he plays guitar, plays video games, likes writing, says he tries to listen to at least one new album per week, if not per day, has a girlfriend, so on and so forth.That was three years ago. Now he's a pretty good friend of mine, despite the 12 year age gap.My conclusion is that for some reason, people really try to dumb down what they like to do until they kind of know someone. Its kind of interesting.
>>741339619Rofl. Pretty much. In most places I’ve worked, most people are too busy to give a shit about your hobbies unless you say something unhinged. The only time ive seen people be very judgmental towards others is if that person is either a shitty worker, too reserved, or they give off weird vibes
Lie, dumbass.Just say simple shit like an instrument, art or hiking.When people say "Hi how are you?" when they meet you do you go on a 2 minute rant about how things are shit?No, you say "good" and move on.Some things are not meant to be taken literally.
>>741340659No, this is autistic. The trap most of you retards fall into is that you'll try to yap about it. Conversations are two way interactions. Just say what you like to do, don't elaborate unless asked.
>>741339119For most people, videogames are an activity that you do inbetween more important activities like your actual hobbies, work, or sleep, not an important activity in-of-itself.If you just think of it like "my hobby is masturbating", that's how normgroids consider it, eroticism aside.
>>741339119Say you like watching tv or reading dummy. Do not interact with the normies.
>>741339119They want to hear you say anything that's not just consuming a service or a product.
>>741339119>Be mid 30s>Think gaming is weird never tell anyone I play games>My coworkers are 10-20 years older>Talk about nothing but video games and medical issues.
>>741340843tranime sisters...
>>741340843I love that drinking is 3 despite half of humanity existing because of alcohol
>>741340927I do 5 things on the list. Where's my gf?
>>741340950Alcohol is absolute dogshit and you should stop drinking it.
>>741340927I'd probably suck a guy's dick too if he told me he did archery and I'm not even gay
>>741340965Do you make 6 figures? Also you must be muscular as well.
They'll use it against you if you say you play video games they'll also assume you play all the time too
>>741339119Hobbies are things you pay hundreds of dollars a month to do in the company of other people. If your hobby is not like this, you don't have a hobby. Video games are for weirdo incels and you just outed yourself as a potential rapist who WILL shoot his coworkers one day
>>741339119Just say you do bonsai and make an AI photo of it to show them. Then if they ever come to your place or ask about it tell them it caught a rare disease and you don't have the heart to try again.
>>741340927I feel like women just say this shit, it doesn't go into their calculus when they pick a boyfriend. They are thinking of some hypothetical man who is an aristocrat with a smithery out at the back that is a family heirloom. Silly shit like that.
just say sports or gym ya fucken dork
>>741340996Alcohol is garbage when it's overpriced pisswater. Homebrews or hard ciders made on a dime are better so long as you don't blind yourself in the process.
Gaming is no different to sinking hours into a book or chess and is a hobby
>>741339119Simply not answer anything unrelated to work. Give them silence.
>>741341159>Alcohol is actually good if-ACK *does of liver failure*
>>741339385So games like CS2 dota or WoW?
>>741341165I guess the difference is that with books and chess you are granted a larger opportunity to learn something. With games most of the time you just turn your brain off and play. Now obviously there's exceptions for all 3. If you considering reading smut/manga, you suck at chess and refuse to learn new skills or study...
>>741340927I read, play guitar well, and bake + cook and no bitch will touch me with a ten foot pole. The one and only rule remains: do not be ugly. if you're ugly don't be fat. if you're fat and ugly don't be poor. if you're fat ugly and poor it's time to kill yourself.
>>741341217No, like fishing or wood working.
>>741339558These threads feel like they're just rehashing a time long past at this point. I've also received apathy at most jobs I've had. For lower-wage entry-level stuff though it was always enthusiasm and a conversation.
>>741341201>does
>>741340996Absolutely but my opinion stands. Alcohol was cheaper than water during depression days and now we have over 8 million niggas on this rock.
>>741341296Lack of social skills is worse than being fat and poor
>>741341249Most books are pointless in isolation and teaches you nothing than a movie does, and chess is a perpetual brain stimulator confined to the specific parameters it sets which do not translate to real life in any wayOne thing they all have in common though is that they're entertaining ways to spend timeThat's gaming in a nutshell
Most of my coworkers are gamers. We bonded over all playing HoMM 3.
>>741339119Your coworkers are probably older men with houses and garages who have space to tinker with physical hobbies or store collections. If you hang out with younger crowds, millennials or especially gen z, yeah they'll all play video games as their main hobby.
>>741341426why not paint portraits from the front?
>>741340843>porn that lowhow
>>741341127This. There are women out there that literally date fuckers that beat the shit out of them as well as ugly retards. Hobbies don’t mean shit. The most important thing is how good you are at talking to women. Retarded losers think this shit requires an MMO build and guide
>>741341426Reading is not a hobby. My teachers made this very clear to me in school, I was not allowed to list "reading" as a hobby.
>>741341446Most women are freaks mate
>>741340927*top 15 activities women think will make them seem virtuous for finding attractive in a man
>>741339119they will hate you no matter what answer you gave. that's just how normies are
>>741341446The chart was made by an idiot. The top 3 most unattractive are at the bottom.
>>741341446It has like a 4 second high
>>741340863>>741339119Saying "hunting" isn't even a safe one because there's going to be some lunatic there who thinks the fact that you hunt means you're going to murder them all someday
>coworkers are all older ladies>have to lift all the heavy stuff>ask why i don't have a girlfriend>they chat while i workdoes life worth
>>741339119Wut? I thought gaming was normal now?
It depends on the industryand your organization in particular. I'm in IT and everyone I work with from peon to directors play video games. Most of the leadership plays wow, my boss plays the finals and Ragnarok online. I'm sure if I were to ask HR if they play games I'd get the weird looks.
>>741340927>we like men who read
>>741340843well I guess I better give up my favorite activity: playing porn gambling games while listening to manosphere podcasts play in the background
>>741341249>I guess the difference is that with books and chess you are granted a larger opportunity to learn something.Half the history and most of the geography I know, I learned in video games; the remainder, I learned only because video games gave me a passionate interest in history, geography, human society, etc. such that I would seek that out in books as well.And whatever you could learn in chess, you'll learn a hell of a lot more in strategy video games. Chess will teach you a bit about unit positioning and force conservation, strategy games will teach you that but they'll also teach you things like balancing a civilization's military expenditures with civilian industry, diplomacy, the importance of intelligence and counterintelligence (chess presents a retarded trivialized idea of warfare where you know everything), the importance of securing natural resources, modern warfare concepts like SEAD, etc.Is most of that going to be relevant in your daily life? No, but neither is anything you learn in chess, and if one's argument is that the value of an activity is its educational potential then chess players should stop wasting their lives, throw it in the trash, and start playing strategy games, because those are massively more educational than chess ever possibly could be.
>Hey anon you watch any sports?>almost let it slip that I watch japanese horse racing every week>"Nah not much, I watch The Bears during football season because I think they're funny"
>>741339119this is why i always take my breaks by myselfit also helps that i work alone 80% of the timei don't like talking to people
>>741339119Office drones hate hunting, never admit that you own guns to them unless you've already got a reporte going. They're not going to give a shit about working on your car, either, because that's a poor person thing to do according to people that make $40k after taxes. AFAICT, they mostly like being gay and adjacent activities, like going to the gym once a week, watching Netflix, colourful mixed drinks, etc.
>>741341249What is there to be learned in chess that has any utility outside of chess?
>>741341759>he doesn't argue about porn gacha characters funkos on a manosphere crypto website while drinking and smoking weed cigars in makeupShaking my desu
>>741341867Almost every chick that I've said I work on my car to creamed their pants
>>741340927Women don't want men to do those things. Those are things women want to do. They answered that way because they csn't imagine talking about anyone but themselves.
>>741341919Morse code
>We need to tell about ourselves in a team meeting for our new team>Just say that I play card games and like Japanese cultureHonestly it's more interesting than people who say that they listen to music or watch movies, just don't be a sperg about it
It's because you say it like you're better than them.If you say the actual truth which is "I am a homebody, I enjoy staying at home, playing videogames" its much nicer than "erm, i play videogames because I am so much smarter than you are".
>>741340927>hiking, archery, blacksmithingwomen love trad husbands. a shame men arent men anymore
>>741342030This sounds like one of those overcomplicated copes normalfags use to justify their baseless hatred of people who aren't like them.
>>741342083>be me in school>be reading book>retard thinks this is intended as a personal insult at him rather than me just enjoying what I'm doing>assaults me and rips the covers off my bookIt was a library copy for fuck's sake
>>741342151Maybe he wanted to romance you and was frustrated that the book was taking up all of your attention?
>>741342083You're absolutely right, I don't like you.Is that any different to you not liking me?
>>741342151>Be standing in the school's open field area during break>Minding my own business>Suddenly get pushed onto the floor>Nobody does anything
>>741342334>magic trickwomen are pure evil
I just tell people I do photography and read.little do they know I'm just scouring ao3 for stories that aren't dogshit
Telling people you consider gaming as a hobby is something you bring up deeper in a relationship, like women do with BDSM
>>741342334Illusions
>>741342151When I began my current job I brought books to read to kill the dead hours and like a year later I found out there was quite the sizeable amount of coworkers who went to the boss to seethe about me during my first weeks there, despite some of them never being on a shift with me, the fact that everyone is on their phones or sticking a thumb up their ass when nothing's going on and the fact that I sprung to my feet the milisecond the need to do our job arose. Thankfully a few came to speak to my defense because ultimately I'm a very hard and earnest worker, but shit was so petty I still am utterly befuddled by it.>>741342208I don't engage with you, or try to talk to you, or find ways to think lesser of you.
>>741342390Reminder that both bill gates and jeff bezos had their wives leave them
>>741342359no no no, it just means they don't like it when men show them only a single magic trick, magic trick singular
Playing video games is the only real hobby in the world. Everything else comes with the tacit admission of being something that makes you seem a more sophisticated or desirable person. A person engages with video games purely for the fun of it, there's no becoming a better person or all that nonsense, it's a pure hobby.
>>7413423341. and 4. is literally all of /v/
>>741342403>I don't engage with you, or try to talk to you, or find ways to think lesser of you.Yeah, but then some loud-mouth autist comes along and talks about how he loves jerking off to miku and at that point I feel like I actually live in hell.
>>741340996>t. muhammad jabal ibn al hussein
>>741342438>A person engages with video games purely for the fun of itImagine saying this on /v/ of all places lmao
>>741339119You gave an answer that doesn't conform with the hivemind, now the NPCs despise you.
This thread makes women unappealing
Gym isn't a hobby but it would be the most beneficial of all of them if it was
Women hate literally every hobby except being handsome.
>>741341379>HoMMI presume you're from somewhere in Eastern Europe, like Russia or Poland.
>>741342403You think that's bad? I was a mid-manager at a R&D lab and I would walk through the office and grab anyone sitting on their ass or chatting and make them do inventories, clean glassware or H&S shit, all stuff that is always behind schedule and always being asked for by procurement, other workers and the government, respectively. This caught me all sorts of shit from project managers because they thought I was stealing time from their workers, when their workers aren't doing shit and the general lab maintenance was a shared responsibility. Some people think work is just getting paid for "thinking" and "going to meetings".
Say you do woodworking, or birdwatching, or hiking, or reading. You know, old people shit.
>>741342451>playing vidya>/v/Maybe gacha, and that would be 5
>be me with gf>our most favourite hobby is gooning to porn together and ffm threesomesfind yourselves the one
>girl asks me what music I like>try to name some bands I listen to>she mentions she doesn't like Jazz>"WHAT'S WRONG WITH JAZZ?"I honestly can't say why I reacted like that. I don't even particularly like jazz.
normalfags literally dont have hobbies, they're all on their phones browsing instagram and tiktok
>>741342684At the very least you gave those lazy fucks a reason to antagonize you, I did nothing but open up a book when there was literally not a single patient in the ICU that needed attending to or any of my coworkers were calling for help with one of their patients.
For perspective, a man saying playing video games and watching anime is a hobby sounds about the same as a woman saying browsing instagram and online shopping is their hobby.
>>741342752>hey anon what kind of music do you listen to>I dunno, I like Carbon Based Lifeforms, Solar Fields, Juno Reactor...>Man I don't know any of those, do you like Metallica? What's your favorite Metallica album?No. No I don't like Metallica, Basil.
There's nothing wrong with video games as a hobby, but it's not interesting to discuss with most people. It's pretty much a conversation stopper unless the other person is also really into video games. Also if you're talking about your hobbies and interests and just say video games, people will assume that's your only interest outside of work. Most people have multiple interests. Try saying some other things you like,>On the weekends I like to hike, watch movies, and play video gamesOr whatever the fuck else you do. If you literally only play video games, then yea that's pretty boring.t. former autist and now forced to be normie

I heard a girl say "eating at restaurants" was her hobby. She wasn't even fat, either. But how tf is eating a hobby? Is breathing a hobby?
>>741342806Your loss. "One" is one of the best songs ever.
>>741342750If you don't have children your relationship is purely performative and you are just a loser.

>>741342795most women i know do exclusively those things, some use facebook though
>>741340843niggers replying are so retarded that they think "cosplay" would be one of the first thing to pop up into a womens head and gaming not being up there at all
>>741340843>Cosplay, clubbing and makeup that lowI call bullshit.
>>741339119Some normie npc unironically stare at the wall and wait for work to begin. They hate ppl who have something to do on theyr free time because they are jealous.
>Nooo, everything I do needs to be tailored for peer acceptance!
>>741342795when has that ever stopped women from dating doe
I'm a 29 year old zoomber and my favorite coworkers are easily zoomers. They really just don't give a fuck, either don't bother you or talk about whatever they want with no filter and minimal cringe self-awareness and they don't bother you with afterwork plans or meetups or fake-ass niceties because they just wanna clock in and clock out like you do.
>>741342806>CBLWhat a coincidence. I was on their gig a couple months ago.
I like:-binge eating-binge drinking-gaming -youtube-jorkin' it-4chanand that's pretty much it so I just tell my co workers I just watch tv and read
>>741339119Playing vidya doesn't feel like a hobby unless you're methodical with it, like playing all games of a specific genre released in the 90s or something, not just whatever fotm slop is on the steam frontpage.
>muh hobbiesYou're all a bunch of morons.
>>741342914That's the point, these things aren't hobbies. Saying your consumption habits is a hobby makes you sound lame when you just say you don't have any hobbies. Hobbies are creative, not consumptive. Amateur game-dev can be a hobby, but playing video games is not. Cooking can be a hobby, eating food is not. etc
>>741343218they actually love tough gangster guys even if they're fat and ugly btw
The holy trinity of hobbies that get you girls,- gyming- practicing good hygiene- meal preparation
Anyone can play videogames.The barrier to entry is zero, it's not even a fucking hobby.
>>741341665If you're not attractive you might as well publicly kill yourself in the slowest and most painful way possible because amusing others with your suffering is literally the only value you have.
>>741343294Since when is a barrier to entry a prerequisite for a hobby?
>>741339119ReadingAnd if they ask just say Lord of the Rings, and if they ask what do you like about it just say Gandalf
>>741340843These aren't hobbies. These are indulgences, money sinks, and side hustles.
>>741339119masturbating
>>741339830i do the exact same thing, i say music and alternative rock, but in my last work i saw a guy who played gacha and had a mgs sound on his phone and connected instantly.
>Coworker likes to talk about video games>It's just Fifa, Call of Duty and Fortnite
>>741343471>it's League

Maybe I should make up shit about certain topics in advance?
>>741343716Mixing real life with work is a no-goYou're doing the right thing anon
>>741343364Younger millennials and zooms have no idea what hobbies are so just agree
>>741339119Football, fotm netflix shows, going out to drink.
>>741339119>I like checking out interactive media from independent small creatorsIt's all about the presentation, anonUnless you play AAA slop in which case you can say "video games" and deserve the judging stares you get
>>741339119You play stupid games. You win stupid prizes.>interacting with normalfags in any capacity
>>741339286This. Normalfags are a miserable creature.All they actually do is have a pissing contest on social media showing off 5% of their life, and exaggerating them to paint as if they are always living the life and touching grass. 95% of the time they doomscroll social media and waste their time watching shitty Netflix shows.Kinda like how we have a shitflinging here but worse because it's filled with fake friendships and insecurities.
>>741340927Never listen to what women consider interesting. I'm not saying that because I hate them. I'm married. They are simply not connected to actual reality. When they say they like men playing instruments, they only mean "plays me my favorite garbage song when I demand it". They are not talking about the actual work, the thousands of hours of practice going into actually learning to play an instrument. That is annoying and takes time and attention away from them. Women like the idea of something but rarely the actual thing.
>>741343873No one likes indie shitIt's a virtue signalling meme
>>741339119the problem is that we can't say the truth. So just say any lie and move on with your life, because you don't give a shit either way. Unless you're a disgusting normiefag, who doesn't belong on here.I usually say that I love learning new stuff and so I'm deep diving into machine learning right now, and that ends the conversation forever. kek.
>>741339119"Hanging/Going out with my friends," you socially starved retard.
>>741339119Playing video games isn't a "hobby" any more than watching TV is. Either you prove your fucking worth by making a claim that you are an enthusiasts in specific genre, or you say "I don't really have much hobbies, just like to kick back and play games or troll on the internet on my free time, haha."
It was the opposite for me. They wouldn't shut the fuck up about shitty video games or my hero academia and demon slayer.I now just tell people I play with my cat and watch homesteading videos on youtube.I hate coworkers that want to be friends
>>741344071Spoken like a true goy.
>>741344051there is no such thing as friends for adults, only temporary useful connecitons, and also mentioning knowing people as a fucking achievement in life, like a repulsive cuck, because nobody ever fucking asked or gives a shit, you subhuman biotrash.>you socially starved retard.fuck you, fuck society, and fuck everything with the root "socio" in it.
>>741344136Spend less time on the internet and reclaim your humanity, poor mutt.
>>741344171I have a full time job, which is why I despise normies. And I am a misanthrope, obviously. Imagine being an adult with a triple digit iq and NOT being a misanthrope at the same time. Abhorrent creatures.
>>741341249Modern normalfag books you see at storefronts are worse than manga/smut, especially auto-biography of some random celeb or "inspirational" self-help books, even if it's fiction pure entertainment spectacle books are absolute horseshit.With smut at least you have a purpose of jacking off, those types of literal trash is a purposeless time waster.The only type of books that's worth reading is a classic literature, and despite being a readfag myself I don't advocate for a general act of "reading" because most books are pure slop, bigger slops than AAA videogames.

Do you all work with boomers or is it an American thing? I work in finance, pretty young team, and almost every person in my 16 people team is into some nerd shit. Maybe two people with NPC-tier hobbies like "watching netflix shows" but that's it.
>>741343716You should have just acted like you never said whatever you were contradicting. You don't owe these people a proper explanation.
>>741339119The correct answer for nerds is "fixing computers/electronics"You will then be everyone's favorite nerd
>>741344425>be sociableThis part is literally impossible
>>741344451no. half the team are people my age or younger. with families and children, even. can't shut the fuck up about their normie "problems" and children. Pure fucking generic NPCs in any RPG village.>>741344512>You will then be everyone's favorite nerdthe goal is to stop them from ever talking to you or trying to normie socialize with you ever again. Why the fuck would I ever want them to come to me with their bullshit.

>>741340786>conversation is a two way street>the best way to talk with normalniggers is to exclusively ask questions about themselves so that it becomes a one sided conversation about them fellating themselves about their subhumanly boring social media clout chasing lives while you pretend to give a shit with "Hmm" and "Yeah" instead of wasting energy explaining who Princess Peach is
>>741342904sexlesss incels really do be thinkin like this doe
>>741344661Nevertheless, I will allow myself to look down at clinical fucking retards, who aren't capable of the basic comprehension.
>>741344068Watching TV can be a hobby the same way watching movies is for cinephiles.You just have to be deeper into it than most.
>>741344512Shit man, that's legit a good answer. Hobbies can't be something you do to chill, it all needs to be productive and performative. I joined a single game jam and made a block pushing game (because I had a fixation on RPG Maker at the time) so that I could say "I love games, I love creating. I join Gamejams to collab with other designers and use coding and art skills to design a finished product under a strict deadline with a goal in mind. Haha working is my hobby, I'm a good goy please call back!"
>>741343295>uhm kill yourself>please>STOP COMPETING WITH METake your own advise.
>>741339119The right answer if you're in an office is always>Oh you know hanging with the boys. Going to the gym. Watching some movies every now and thenAt the same time you need to emphasize the every now and then.The expectation is that if you're not working you're upskilling or some shit. So say something like "when we all have time which you know with work isn't so common nowadays but it's still good fun"
Are women just evil and put here to torment us?

>>741339119>Wait, what? Hold on a sec. You mean to tell us that you like video games. Isn't video games those things you plug into the TV for children aged 7 - 9 in order to keep them quiet while you go over your yearly financial report?
>>741340927i read books daily, speak 3 languages, play piano, can cook, have written a novel and mulitple fanfics, and i take pictures of bunnys and cat i find in my local park. where is my pussy?

>>741345206i'm afraid you might have actual autism, friend
>>741345206>posting tranime
>>741339119Why are you trying to be genuine with co-workersThey're most likely NPC normies not worth interacting outside of surface level formality
>>741339119Just tell them something boring as fuck. It’s what they want to hear. “Reading”, for example. Or you could just get them to shut the fuck up and tell them you go out murdering. Whatever works. Ultimately they don’t care. They’re asking so you ask them what they’re into, not having the social awareness to understand you couldn’t give a fuck about them either.
>>741340843>>741340927
>>741340927Yeah, i like reading (4chan schizo posts, clickbait news articles and shit chatgpt writes me after I prompt it)I am swimming in pussy
>>741345381aryanime website
>>741340927and what are the top 15 most attractive woman hobbies to men?
>>741340927>people still don't know astronomy and astrology are two completely different thingsI bet writing code to compute numerical celestial mechanics differential equations get 90% of women wet.
>>741344682this is why I carry a dumbphone around and pretend to be computer illiteratethe second you help anyone with a tech problem is the second news about it will spread like wildfire and everyone will come to you with their retarded problems and stupid questions they dont want to know how to do it they want you to do it for them because its le too hard to learn something trivial like a key combination
>>741345596>woman>hobbiesit would be a list of things she isnt doing
>>741340927>blacksmithing Dwarfbros, we're eating good!
>>741340927Archery's actually really fucking fun. I wish I could afford to do it more than once a week.
>>741345206Should have been a blacksmith
>>741344746This is the best strategy, makes people like you as well.
>>741345797OK but now everyone is reaching out to you so they can vent about all the problems in their lives and you don't get any benefits. Sorry Martha but I don't give a shit if your younger kid in 7th grade doesn't like studying enough to keep bringing straight As daily
>>741344746It works but yeah you don't get an actual relationship out of it.
>>741339119Because video games are a waste of time. It shows you dont value your time and u have no discipline or self control. It makes u a bad mating partner. Not worthy of children..You prefer to focus your brain into a digital world instead of real life which means u are dissociating similar to doing hard drugs.
>>741346147no one wants kids anymorereal life sucks and everyone universally agrees on thathard drugs are infinitely more attractive
>>741345206>tranime troon >has autistic hobbies
>>741345351Nta but just got diagnosed at 31. Should I an hero?
>>741346253whats the benefit of the diagnose?literally no purpose
>>741346147>u
>>741346253Most people are autistic, don't worry about it
>>741339119>work with two other guys in a small office>one looks exactly like the bald soijack meme>huge comic book/star wars nerd>ask what video games he likes>scofts "I don't have time for that!">catch him watching the Nintendo direct on his second monitorEveryone hides their power level.The other guy is in mid thirdies and has a Crash Bandicoot tattoo on his leg, but says he doesn't play video games and his hobby is bowling. I definally know he's hiding his powerlevel too.
>>741346147sad bait? what does the boomer cock taste like, you troglodyte? Imagine even thinking of spouting such retarded bullshit in 2026.
>>741339119you ever notice how men tend to have hobbies like bird watching, woodshop, building shit, working on cars etc whereas women tend not to? Female hobbies are usually just doing things with other people like going to brunch and gossiping. Why is that ? Why are women so afraid of their own company
>>741346147the people who make posts like this haven't had a conversation with another human being irl in 2 decades btw, its all just shameful projection, your hobby isn't that niche bro, people wont judge you for playing games
>>741339119>like that's such a weird fucking thing to sayLiking games is so general now that you might as well be answering "taking shits." They think you're basing your identity an unhealthy amount around what everyone already does.
>>741346209how are these hobbies autistic? and women claim to love exactly these
>>741339119>Literally wtf is the right answer then? Hunting?I literally do this. Not often but I did go for a licence. It's fun talking about absurd legacy laws still in effect in the field. Normalfags also find it very fun for some reason.You should do things other than gaming anon. Beating Silksong is ok to mention, but coworkers will almost never know what that is. More surprisingly it's not cringe or weird if you follow up with other hobbies. Mention that you like going to movies. Tell em you're taking your woman to see a balet one of these weeks. Mention the last time you went to a museum. Ask them if they like reading books and compare to your favorites. Show them a pic of some art you hanged at your wall at home and why it means much to you. The world is your oyster.... who am I kidding. OP is a kid without hobbies that just graduates a shit uni and has nothing going on in his life. I am too old for this place
I like to goon and stare at walls for hours
>oh too many to list... what are yours, maybe we have one in common?99% of the time they will start yapping about themselves
>>741339548I always assume the position of higher level of consumer and say I go to germany and austria for wagner/mozart music festivals. You cant answer that with negativity without looking like unwashed plebs.To unwashed plebs I say I go to czech for cheap beer and whores.In reality I go to my study room and play vidia.You cant lose when you say you go to europe for fun.
>>741341297So RuneScape?
>>741340927But I enjoy reading manga and studying Japanese, the top two hobbies? Why am I not getting loads of pussy?
>>741339119>>741346459I also forgot to add, bring up other shit you do. I write little code projects that optimize pointless shit for fun. I live in a suburb, but I have a bee hive, I have chickens and two apple trees so I make hard cider every year. I grow vegetables in my garden. I spend time at the shooting range. I cycle about 240 miles a month if I ride every Sunday. More when I'm on vacation/holiday away from home. I travel. I coach little leagues. I read books (a thing I'm shocked most people don't do anymore). I used to volunteer to teach kids how to code at a local library, but I've had no time since I had kids of my own. Like bring up interesting things you do.Saying " I like playing video games" just makes you look ultra-normie, or makes you sound like a weirdo that plays games TOO much (to the detriment of other things you should be doing).
>>741340843>makeup???????
>>741346659>But I enjoy reading manga and studying JapanesePorn is the 3rd lowest hobby And they can smell it from you that you aren't studying Japanese for the high culture.
>>741344615>NPCs>they have families and children and problems>you just complain about videogames on the InternetYou are the NPC.
>>741339119I literally do nothing when not at work. I hate work as well. At home I just lie in bed and zone out/sleep most of the time. Never had the urge to create something or to do anything outside.A bit conflicted if this is more npc than normalfags with their fake hobbies, at least they do "something".
fuck normalfags
>>741346967>You are the NPC.This is correct. I am an irrelevant NPC. Being an NPC isn't an issue, being a normie retard NPC is.
>>741346530more productive than watching tiktok or instagram
>>741343902This. Sadly most men do not realize how bat shit insane women can be.
>>741339119Consuming isn't much of a hobby, get something that develops some kind of skill or produces something. Like learning how to dance or taking up woodcraft or something. You can still play video games but it's good for you general development to do stuff, too
>>741340927reading? yeah fucking right nobody fucking reads who has time for that shitcooking makes sense because those bitches are lazy as fuck and can't cook at all
>>741341127They are, because these are all skills that inform her that he can either provide or has social status, ideally both.
>>741339119>spend most of my job doing nothing but looking at my phone >supervisor passes by me regularly and doesn't bat an eye>break time>pull out steam deck>YOU BETTER BE ON BREAK ANON
>>741340843What the actual fuck is “manosphere”? If I heard someone use that term unironically when asked what their favorite hobby is I’m pretty sure I’d think the guy was a lunatic.
>>741347234Sm*kers can casually pop out back for fag breaks whenever they want for as long as they want but god forbid you have your phone out while the restaurant is dead. There's always something to be done so get on your knees and clean the gutters.
>>741347307Failed normalfag content. Guys who are failing to get women and are doing "looks maxing" and listening to Men Going Their Way podcasts instead of writing the whores off as not worth the effort.
>>741347307It's social media figures, usually grifters trying to sell men their own sense of masculinity. There good stuff out there but I have no idea if people consider that manosphere or not. The mental image I get for that stuff is men telling you women are worthless and you should do steroids
>>741341867>colourful mixed drinksmen have produced 0 arguments why this is bad
pro tip: just say swimming if you say working out etc people will wonder where your muscles are but as long as you are not a fat-ass no one will know if you swim or not
>>741347370It isn't bad but it isn't a hobby
>>741339119They wanted to know what sport you follow, normally, that's what coworkers want to know. Nobody actually has hobbies, it's just watch TV and sports.Also if you work with anyone under 30 they literally all play Fortnite or Roblox so you're in one old-ass workspace.
>>741339286ThisNoies aren't aware that in current year more people play video games than they do watch movies, TV shows, read or listen to music.
Gotta love how the autists immediately reveal themselves by going>erm AKSHUALLY that's not a hobby!!when this topic comes up. People consider a hobby something you do to pass the time.
>>741339119past a certain age your main hobby being video games can be a bad thing
>>741347234>>741347331What I do is musicmaxxing, just listen to music, nobody ever complains because your hands are free and can do work simultaneously
>>741347331For some reason customers really fucking hate it when employees look at their phones, when I worked at Walmart, one of the most common complaints was "employees looked at phone all day" (the phone in question being our portable self checkout monitor)
>>741347331Bosses who force arbitrary tasks on employees when there is nothing to be done have no business trying to lead a team. There is no better way to ruin a person’s work ethic than to micromanage them when they’ve already proven that they’re competent.
>>741341437Non-whites look fucked up from the side. I do it to bully them.
>>741339119>get asked literally anything socially at work or when i was in school>freeze for a microsecond so i can come up with a normalfag answeruhh… yeah i follow football every now and then haha
>>741342807>lying to appease normalfagsSpineless retard.
>>741343218I think you are confusing women with gay men (e.g. yourself) right now.
>>741347434You will get bitched out for having an earbud in at all if the job is shit enough.>>741347464If you have time to lean, you have time to clean is gay but at the same time sometimes the place is a wreck you really should at least pick up the trash instead of just advertising how unmotivated you are.
I started hiking Its respectable for normiesI just dont tell them that I play video games too, cause they dont get it
>>741339548>wtf do normies do for fun?zombie’ing out while NEWEST SHOW plays on netflix. a lot of them then mindlessly scroll through tiktok and then dont even really know what the fuck happened in the show. im not even joking.
>>741347364>>741347368There is 0% chance any woman with a functional grasp of the English language would hear a guy mention “manosphere” and not immediately write him off. I get the feeling that whoever made that image is one of the literal grifters you mentioned kek
>>741347554Can confirm that they do this.>watch thing with friend>they don't even pay attentionlike what's even the point
>>741347524I mean, yeah— if the place is a mess then obviously it needs to be cleaned up. But if everything is ok and there is downtime, there’s 0 reason for a boss to heckle their staff.
>talking to coworkers ever
>>741345596Cosplay
>>741345596>woman hobbies
>>741342984clubbing makes sensewould you want your girl going to these cesspools every weekend unless you're a cuck?
>Mom invites me to a reunion she's having with her high school friends because she wants to show off her kids>One of her friends asks her what her current hobbies are>"Hiking, running, kayaking, swimming">The only thing she's done for the last 20 years is come home from work and sit in front of her TV until she goes to bed>She can't even swim, and the only reason she's ever been within 100 feet of a pool is because I used toNormalfags are all frauds and just make up bullshit to make themselves seem better. You can be certain their actual hobbies are being even more of a vegetable than you are 95% of the time.
>>741340950Im guessing what they find unattractive is "casual drinking" where you sit down on the couch, crack open a Pisswisser or similar water-based-beer-flavored garbage and then just watch the news or sports or whatever else until you have gone through a whole six-pack. That or spending every night out drinking like if you were Homer Simpson.They dont like *man* drinking, they like *woman* drinking, like having a glass of wine while you pretend to care about reading some book about teenage wizards or bestiality love between wolfmen and women, or going out partying and having alcohol on the side.
>>741345596Women don't have hobbies and they don't need hobbies, men must have hobbies to entertain them like jesters if we wish to fill the role of the simp
>>741345206you forgot to have a chiselled jaw or something
>>741339119Just say you like taking pictures of every meal you eat everyday
>>741339119Just say you like taking pictures of girls you see everyday
>>741339119Stop caring what normies think.Half of everyone you meet in your life are lying faggots desperate to seem more interesting than they are, the other half are literal NPCs that can't fathom going a single weekend without using mind altering substances. The few people that do genuinely have interesting hobbies don't talk about it because they don't want souless retards encroaching on the precious private time. The that you don't care about any of this and are comfortable in your mediocrity threatens their own egos
>>741340927Having those hobbies just means you have money. Women like money. It's as shrimple as that.
>>741347234>>741347331i fucking hate this, ive had a few jobs before deciding im just gonna leech off “job seeker” gibs until it runs dry. this drives me fucking insane. the PRETENDING to work because whatever task im given i can do in 5 minutes and it’s done, or it’s such a shit job im grinding to a halt waiting for some other asshole to stop pretending to work to help me. i fucking hate it, i hate the whole fucking thing. i tried getting a monotonous factory line job but those are far and few between. i cant just respec into being a sparky or a brickie at my age either. fuck work, it’s literally just adult day care for normalfags. it’s all fucking made up, man. just gimme a job and tell me what to fucking do, jesus fucking christ.
>>741347554Yeah but they 'watch' it so they can tell the other normie friends they watched it, but they didn't either.
>>741347234
>>741347797PIBWASSERRR! GERMAN BEER! DRIVE YOUR TRUCK OFF THE PIERR YEAH YEAAHHHH
>>741348114
>>741339119The right answer is to not give a fuck. Why do you care how they look and signal to each other their bullshit. What are you, a normalfag?
>>741340927I usually say "I like to read a good book after a good swim under the stars"guaranteed pussy
>>741348142it still fucking hurts being reminded you’re not a normalfag, man. every fucking time, i can go “ah who cares at least im not an NPC” in the back of my mind i still want to belong and i never will
>>741343295Why not become serial killer instead?
>>741347945I have no money and so I hike (and camp) all the time. Pictures from mountain tops really impress normalfags for some reason.
>>741339119Everyone's hobby is video games these days, it's not interesting anymore and either the assumption is that you play Fortnite like every other boring zoomer or you bunker down and play some obscure JRPG nobody has ever heard of like a NEET while eating Doritos. Either way it's sad compared to something like fishing or mechanics where you're learning real practical skills or demonstrating ownership of an expensive property.
>>741339119>TFW the only other gamer at the jobsite is a gun and ball gamer so you have to feign interest and not talk about your weeb shitthis has been my humiliation ritual for the past few months
I spend more time in Blender lately than in video games, but i can't talk about it because i make porn in it
>>741348062fucking miss quentin bros, in a better timeline he'd still be causing mass seethe with his shitty images on /v/he was mediocre at wow but a fucking blast to play with
>>741348404you can tell us anon :)
>>741348404Tell me anon, has anyone ever been close to being on to you?
>>741348404“i dont even really play games anymore i just goof around with scripting and programming haha” i spent like an entire year screwing around with arma 3 scripting language so i could make a kind of freeroam porn player because there’s functions so you can play .mkv video files. make love not war i guess heyyoooo
>>741348437is it true he was only a teenager when he was posting his stuff here, then got to college and basically became the weedfag he always campaigned against?
>>741348214>i still want to belong and i never willThey have nothing to offer to you. Once you get over the initial joy of someone giving a fuck about you, you will quickly get dragged down by pointless drama, gossip and people insisting on sharing with you the most shallow interests and experiences imaginable. Possibly then backstabbed because some random tranny or other mentally unstable person didn't liked something about you, so they project themselves as victims and everyone turns away from you like mindless NPCs because that's literally how they all operate.It's much better to find yourself some nerdy circle that actually shares your interests than to ever mess with normalfags on their retarded merry go round of signaling how great your life and how great of a person you are.
normalfags are more vile than you can imagine
>>741348585you’re telling me, man. i know. it still sucks.
>>741348518well my gym buddy knows, cuz i told him. But i am talking about co-workers. Luckily we don't talk a lot about our lives.
>>741339119the answer is having more than just a single hobby, which is the problem.imagine the opposite, if you asked someone what their hobbies were and they said>oh I just go hiking>yeah hiking can be fun, what else do you do?>just hikingyou would also thing this person is a fuckin loonimagine if you instead get asked you say>I like reading, mostly fantasy>lots of different types of video games>play some card games too>love board games as wellgiving an answer that seems like a complete human being and who isn't trying to hide some weird insane shit or is a completely lunatic.just fill in your other interests instead of mine as well as video games and you will be fine. surely you have more than one interest as well, right anons?
>>741340843>>741340927>least attractive: comic books>most attractive: readingnooticing
>>741348747Comic Books are childish.Young Adult novels are cultured.Non-fiction makes you a weird creep.t. I read lots of books, but hate fiction and normalfags find that creepy
>>741340820Exactly.Hobbies are, as the other anon put it, jobs you don't get paid for, but you do them because they're fun, rewarding, require actual skills, would be jobs if you could get enough money from them like playing an instrument, building stuff (woodworking, metalworking, models, ...), writing, whatever. Just not toys or movies
>>741339286>probably 90% of people you see go home, order takeout food and lie in bed while using their phone for hours at a timeThat seems like such a sad fucking life. How is that any better than buying a cheap used PS2 and playing through a fun game?
>>741348890Because it's normal. Watching Netflix and doomscrolling on Instagram/TikTok is what 99.9% of normalfags do. Go with the flow.
>>741348872>Comic Books are childish.>Young Adult novels are cultured.>Non-fiction makes you a weird creep.This american desire to divide every activity into "adult", "kid", "nerd", "jock" categories is so tiresome. These people just can't enjoy things for what they are, they need to signal their social alignment with each breath they take.
>>741348872>Non-fiction makes you a weird creep.>but hate fiction and normalfags find that creepyyou are mixing up two different thingsnon-fiction doesn't make you a weird creep>hate fictionthis is what makes you weirdif you preferred non-fiction, no one would care, if you just weren't interested in non fiction, no one would carebut disinterest and hate are very differenthate fiction?yeah that is fucking psycho behaviour
>>741348747i mean let's be fair is not like comic books are that much of a high reading
>>741339252you dont understand the words you type.
>>741348278>Either way it's sad compared to something like fishing or mechanics where you're learning real practical skills or demonstrating ownership of an expensive property.Fishing is like 50yo+ hobby. Mechanics is very niche.And video games can easily teach you more than these two if you look beyond the mainstream games.
>>741348582>became the weedfag he always campaigned againstwheezeanon he was always a pothead, none of the points were made in any sincerity, it's was all just trolling
>coworker who's a habitual liar starts telling me about his fucking home life again and how his adoptive mother hates him and how..I really don't give a shit dudeplease shut the fuck up>>741348890it's low effortto most people having kids then doing nothing with them is the apex of their beings, they have no vision for anything past that
My main hobby is masturbation. Is that an attractive hobby to women?
>lie to a woman about your hobbies so you seem cool>you start dating and she sees you don't actually do the stuff you claimed you doWhat now?
>nobody posted the /r/birdwatching one that caused a roar on tiktok and shitfest on /v/ because people took it seriouslycmon niggers, it's one time reddit did something funny
>>741347486I'm tired of that, the only thing I don't say is that i fap to loli.
>>741349231https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32J5jCP1z9A
>>741349282That's not a hobby, anon.That's a lifestyle.
>>741339119>speaking with co-workers about anything other than workStop trying to make friends with them. If they ask, just say you don't really have any and make a joke about how you just love Netflix or something.Your co-workers are not your friends and they will use whatever you say you at some point.Yes, this is especially true about the women regardless of age.
>>741349393>about how you just love NetflixBut then you get asked about what you watch on Netflix and I'll be damned if I know any of the obscure shit on there. My coworkers won't stop talking about Netflix "anime" and how it's "So good!" The only Netflix shows I know by name are Narcos and Stranger Things and I've seen neither.
>>741349393They're just bored, anon. Everyone is bored. Bored people talk to other people. Or rather, talk at other people and wait for their turn to talk again.
>>741339119I've learned you're never supposed to say your hobby is video games, even in 2026. Just say you like going to the gym (if you're a man, you should be in the gym minimum 3 times a week) and playing wtith your dog or traveling. If you do need to mention video games, I found people are more receptive if you mention one specifc video game you're playing like Resident Evil or GTA. Dont say some obscure non-normie or kiddy shit like Pokemon or Astrobot.
>>741342806>he likes gay musicLmao. Why dont you listen to manly shit, like beatdown hardcore to mosh and crowdkill?
>>741343471Find new job. We discussed mods for factorio and pirate-patched olden era.
>>741349534I don't have time to be bored.
>>741349485You can probably get away with saying "Oh, I'm just rewatching The Office/Seinfield/Breaking Bad/That DnD Show About Demogorgons"
>>741349608>playing wtith your dogI don't have a dog.
>>741339119Yeah I don’t get why it’s still kinda frowned upon to say you play video games in any capacity around normies. I play them maybe once a week at the moment, but even that is weird by their standards, when they mostly just get hammered every night like they’re still at uni. Luckily at my job it’s the norm because everyone there is a semi-autist with a STEM PhD
>>741339119Only having gaming as a hobby aside, esp in the big 26. It’s almost an obligation as a man to pick up a martial art or/and lift. Doing the bare minimum would give you an easy answer out of that and would give you the empowering feeling of knowing you can physically harm the vast majority of normalfaggots and of course woman that ask questions like that
>>741348404>sameI have also gotten addicted to seeing how high my renders get voted up on rule 34. Its one of the few social media addictions I allow myself, but I also need to be careful because I don't get any arousal by checking and will just open up that site casually now in my spare time to see.
>>741348982It’s because the main social infrastructure these days (social media) is designed by literal autists so everyone has internet induced autism - not actual autism but they’ve learned to think and see the world like a sperg
>>741350906>could have gotten kickboxing lessons as a child>instead did drama and danceMy life would be so much better if I could break limbs in high school
I love all the newfags on this site acting like they're not normies
I tell women I play psp monster hunter and they cannot stop unzipping my pants instantly. Sounds like a you problem. Most women can barely make it past HR btw.
>be neet so long you forget what normies are like>get a job, mention video games once, specifically Hideo Kojima>everyone gets confused>save myself by mentioning Norman Reedusclose callits weird how much of a bubble nerd culture is and how little normies explore other hobbies. i feel like i know all the top football players from my time in college, and all the top netflix shows and twitch streamers and directors and musicians and all kinds of other shit i'm not involved in at all.it must take active effort to remain so uncurious. that or home maintenance and other normie tasks take longer than i imagine.
>>741342334looks like women are fine with rape and murder
>>741345467>Revving Honda Civic>Name every trainIt's my time, /v/ros.
>>741339119Here's a secret anon: it's not that gaming is a weird hobby to have. It's that people will judge you when you're too different from them. If you said you repaired car engines for fun to a group of gamers, they'd look at you weird too.
I tried talking to a 20 something year old kid. I brought up shit like elden ring but he only played golf games or some shit. He looked like what I would expect an average /v/irgin would look like. It was a very weird ride back to the shop.
>>741339119Lol I work at a job where my coworkers all play video games anyway, even my boss.People literally don't care as long as you're simply not a freakAnd even then, I promise you, you're thinking about your interactions with them more than they are.Nobody cares if you play video games. It's 2026.It's literally not a big deal
>>741350112everyone plays video games now and then, but most people don't consider it their hobby

>>741351813Is that true? I'd have figured women hated country for being too man focused. Like, "I listen to everything but rap and country" is probably because of men singing about being a trucker who's wife left him.

>>741351157This division was ever more prevalent when social media were not a thing.I would even say that it's because of global social media that Americans were exposed to other cultures and their domestic sub cultures gave away to various international fandoms and hobby communities. Especially Japanese culture which is holds the exact opposite sentiment, where appreciation of childhood and adolescence makes people way more comfortable with engaging with seemingly infantile themes and activities. As this enters mainstream, it becomes more acceptable for people to freely enjoy what they like instead of doing everything to align with their immediate environment at the fear of social ostracism.
I'm an artist, normalfags love that shit but then they want to tell me all about their nephew or neighbors kid who scribbles JJk characters and i have to struggle to keep my eyes from glazing over

>>741339830>My conclusion is that for some reason, people really try to dumb down what they like to do until they kind of know someone. Its kind of interesting.uhhhh bro I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, specifically considering that I am myself not very social and probably on the spectrum, but are you autistic or something?Yeah, people don't overshare shit with strangers, and people who have hobbies with a stigma like gaming don't just go OH MY GOD BRO I LOVE GAMING to the first guy they seewell, young people are an exception - we talk about anime and games openly, but still you don't just blurt out your power level

>>741339119Just say you used to play video games. Gaming now is terrible in comparison to what it used to be over ten years ago when it was legitimately a hobby you could be proud of.Now its just subscription services, day one DLC, pre-order scams, lootboxes, season passes and hackers ruining online experiences as the market continually shifts towards desperate self destructive tactics to keep their companies alive for another year.
>>741353395>proceeds to pretend he is humanyou don't belong and it will never change. You and I are not the same species.
>>741339286It blows my fucking mind how sitting on the couch watching TV or doomscrolling on social media for hours like a mindless NPC is considered an acceptable hobby, but stimulating your brain and challenging yourself by playing a video-game or tabletop is considered "weird". Normies are genuinely, unironically retarded and their opinion is meaningless. That's not even a tismo cope, it's the honest-to-God truth

>>741355195it sucks>mention the basic premise of DRG since I was playing it over the weekend (space dwarves mining and shooting bugs)>they all act like its the most bizzare thing they’ve ever heard>they start talking for the next 45 minutes about a netflix documentary they saw on tiktok about a woman who murdered her late term pregnant friend and cuts her dead unborn fetus out of her uterus and then drives with the dead baby to the hospital trying to claim it was their own child>they all talk about how they MUST watch it this weekendmost normies are vapid and just consume tiktok and whatever else the internet tells them to

And by self help I mean shit that helps them feel good about themself without actually doing anything
>>741355642What's that third one?
1.) They consider vidya normal and saying you play vidya as a hobby sounds weird like saying you watch movies as a hobby2.) They hate vidya and think it’s a manchild hobbyIt’s lose-lose. And if they ask you what you play you will just sperg out

Some people forget how many things we now take for granted are very recent in a grand scheme of things.
>>741356947See >>741339667
I don't mention video games at work because everyone is a gamer in 2026 and plays bullshit. Even during one of my rides, a girl casually asked if I had a ps5 and played The Last of Us. I just don't share much in common with the "modern gamer"
>>741346659Because anime and japanese things are inherently feminine, and usually its children and women who watch anime. So youre making urself very effeminate if you do it as well as a grown man

>>741357124and that's still videogames as opposed to anything before ~2010s where no true normie woman would be caught dead playing nerdshit
>>741339119>past a certain age, playing video games can be a bad thing
>>741353869depends. If you are from non english country you are seen as someone worldly. Since you can speak "international language" And diffrent ones you kind of take as a purely personal choice (unless you work in a very specific field) since more or less everyone now knows even basic english.That plus the belif that "Knowing more languages= higher IQ" is also a Plus.
>>741339274Something you can create or improve at, art and sports are an example, consuming media is not a hobby>I listen to music>I watch movies>I read books>I play gamesAll passtimes, the hobby counterparts ar>I write/compose music>I shot movies/videos>I write>I play fighting games
>>741355692Im glad my office has a decent balance between the sexes. The women are either not available or not desirable, so I feel no compulsion to socialize, but when I do I largely keep it to normal topics like cooking, holidays, weather, etcMy department is entirely men, men that understand that we play vidya for fun (mostly older too so we have some conversations about DOS games intermixed with modern ones like DRG), but we also know when to break off the personal discussions to get work done 45 minutes of yapping about tiktok is inane.
Retard. You are supposed to just say "I like watching sports. I'm a <your city or your state> fan", and they will all clap because you said the pre-approved correct answer.
>>741339119>Literally wtf is the right answer then? You're supposed to say you doomscroll social media, and watch netflix and smoke weed you fucking retard.

>>741340659>just lie bro

This must be an office job thing. I'm a blue collar worker and no one has ever given me shit for saying I play vidya.
>>741357401congrats now you’re trapped in the trick bag of your co workers thinking you want to talk about the latest handegg game because you feigned interest in it and your options are either pretending you know something about it or coming clean and saying you were just feigning interest and both options label you as a fat autistic liar
>>741357753Its a woman and older generational thing.Older people because to them "new thing bad" has always fixated on technology, and women because they largely do not have hobbies and do not understand things that take attention away from them.
>anon do you have a girlfriend?I’ll break your neck hag you know damn well I don’t
>>741340927>thinking woman can vocalize what they actually wantAny of this matters only if you fill the basic expectation: provide resources, protect and share higher social status. Its like asking women what color of the seats they like in their mans car, and the woman is imagining a BMW while the asker is thinking about some piece of shit old Ford, as if the color of the seats will turn the Ford into a BMW
>>741339119i actually just switched from my corporate job into academia as a teacher and was asked the same thing by my new colleaguesin general, they seem somewhat glad that there's at least one staff member (i.e. me) that has somewhat of a remote interest in games, which was really surprising, though it was just 'one' of my interests among a bunch of others, as in it wasn't the only 'hobby' that i'd mentioned. i believe the reason they share that sentiment is that they struggled to reliably connect and build rapport with the current generation of students without a significant common ground, like interest in games.
>>741339548They "study" general common interests to later debate in group and climb the social ladder. They do not enjoy neither the contents or the interactions but being above others and relish on the feeling of superiority after climbing the afromentioned ladder.
>>741357039this isnt true
>>741339548>wtf do normies do for fun?they go to japan and do touristy things

>>741353272dude, not even being gay here, but if you're somewhat fit, you should seriously consider doing porni hear it's a real challenge trying to train existing male actors to be able to cum on command, and in weird positions that they're not used to. some of them even go limp when they try to do that (i know, because i do too lmao)
i play competitive fighting gamesit's not a hobby, it's a goddamn second job, i have to study HARD for this shit and it stresses the fuck out of me, but it's rewardingpastime my fucking ass, i'm in the trenches here
Saying you play vidya is fine. Saying that you mostly emulate old games, play DooM wads, or play obscure indie titles is what gets you funny looks these days. Just say you play CoD or GTA or some shit unless you're lucky enough to find another autist.
>>741339830Jesus christ that webm
>>741343295I'm fairly attractive, and when a woman hits on me at the gym I tell them I hate women

>>741358889>I'm fairly attractivecool story bro
>>741357293You can improve at consuming media and create things like detailed reviews around them that touch on aspects that you wouldn't be able to appreciate or even notice if you didn't have the experience or know how.You can also play certain games in such a way that you can create your own playstyle, some styles requiring a lot of work improving on them.
>>741358889Do women actually work out or do they just do thirst tiktoks to see if they catch any "creeps" staring behind them
>>741359581Most of them just dress up in skintight outfits and pretend to be working out
>>741340927How the fuck is "swimming" a hobbyNigger I bust my ass for an hour each day swimming a bunch of laps, how is this shit interesting, I am just going up and down my lane
>>741359581Most women only do cardio.Only athletes and former athletes do strength training and are actually there to work out.Vapid whores setup thirst traps.Im glad my gym banned recording setups and phones, the amount of attention-seeking bitches decreased immediately.
>>741339286one thing that pisses me off is when they talk about the latest trend, like that football player that got famous overnight from New Zealand and then make fun of me for playing videogames on my phone but spend x3 times the same amount of looking at Instagram brainrot
>>741357401did you see that ludicrous display last noite?
>>741339119Say something more interesting like flyfishing or taekwondo.
>>741339119Its actually funny how the stigma that video games are for losers will never go away. Even watching Cape shit now is seen as "mature" and sophisticated
>>741340843>cigarsliterally no one under the age of 60 smokes cigars. was this poll conducted in a nursing home?
>>741339252>>741339385>>741357293Then, I guess, normalfags misuse the term. White collar wageslaves don't have hobbies in that sense, but they do have pastimes.

>>741361435Last job I had a twink "caught" me browsing 4chan and asked me what boards I frequented, then other day he asked me if I was gay.
>>741339119Playing videogames isn't a hobby, it's a pastime. Hobbies are productive, like woodworking or exercise or baking, etc.We have to pretend watching TV is a hobby for the sake of women but it isn't really a hobby either.
>>741357293>I play fighting gamesShamefully it took this long for someone to point out your bait post. 10/10 evidently
>>741361554>kept in contact with him after you leftnigga u gay

>>741339727Any age where you can point to it and say, "spending that time playing videogames was irresponsible."Is your home a mess? Playing videogames is irresponsible. Are you in debt? Playing videogames is irresponsible. Are there things you've committed to doing but aren't done? Playing videogames is irresponsible.Pastimes exist for when there is nothing else to do and you need to burn a few hours or to simply relieve stress. If videogames are your "hobby" they're not being used to relieve stress; more likely they're a source of it.
>>741361772Oh no I didn't, would have but don't want to bother him, he seemed busy

>>741348404
>>741339119Videogames are in fact a hobby but it's hard to comprehend for the normalfag because they don't actually engage in videogames the same way you do. They don't play games to overcome challenges, solve puzzles, complete achievements, playing new (to you) games to expand your horizons, etc. They just see videogames as games like fortnite you play on your couch while high. It's the same way that studying film can be considered a hobby but just mindlessly watching marvel shit is not. It is how you engage with the medium. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?) normalfags do not understand this about videogames and see it as mindless entertainment. Personally I'd recommend finding something niche that people typically don't do that you can claim to enjoy ad a hobby, that way it's unlikely they will know enough about it to ask questions that could break the lie. If you live in the middle of a city just say you like fishing, or maybe say you enjoy woodcarving or something like that.

>>741341148Nah people don't like that either. You're either a hardcore fitness freak, or peaked in highschool and didn't go pro. Truth is if someone asks you what your hobbies are you should just say you don't have any and you enjoy going out and spending time with your friends / girlfriend.
>>741363149Well not really, he seemed very comfortable talking to a girl about relatiobship stuff, guess he wasn't gay just trying to be nice to me, still appreciate it tho.
>>741341249No the difference is chess has tons of prestige for being played for 1000 years, having books written about it, being associated with aristocrats and rich people, and being used a the shorthand for "this guy just got smart" in every single cartoon.

>>741339119Always remember that the average person literally gets home from work and just browses TikTok or watches extremely rote television like Love Island or some laughable ABC procedural They spend their weekends drinking at bars or “””””going to the park”””” or something inconsequential Unless your hobbies actively hurt someone, just do whatever you want
>>741342898If you don't have a hobby you have to answer something.

>>741344136>>741364473Holy shit this is so annoying. I'm 31 and in like last 5 years, every single friend of mine got some combination of depressed, unemployed, tired, drug addicted(to the point they just disappear), obsessed with politics/sex(esp coming out as trans/gay/liberal and expecting everyone to align or fuck off), thin skinned, a slave to girl/boyfriend, mentally ill from said girl/boyfriend, etc. If would have never expected so many of my years-long friendships would just end up with the other person one day randomly borrowing like 500$ and then cut all contact. Or out of nowhere get upset because some other person got upset because some yet another person said something and now this friend group is rightoids and that group is queers and that's why we can't talk to each other anymore like wtf. And the people who remained are like shadows of their former self, being unemployed but still having no time in day to do anything, wtf are they doing with their life.It's all so tiresome. And it's not like zoomers are any better. They seem to be already polarized and tribal from very start. I literally left one group not long ago because they had huge drama because someone dared to say "nigger"(not even to offend anyone, it was some meme he shared or something. there wasn't any even any blacks there either), but at the same time they would throw random banters at me for liking anime. Which is like ehh... just stick to the politically correct inclusive hugbox if you want or at least make it funny instead of just being just being a dick but only to thinks you personally dislike.
