Crazy Hobbies
Hobbies for Men?
My boyfriend wants to take up a new hobby to pass the time but hasn't been sure of what he wants to do. Can anyone here suggest any cool, fun or interesting hobbies that are good for men other than sports, video games, gambling and porn.

- um, that pretty much covered it unless you want to suggest stamp collecting.
- has he looked into RC Cars ... check out liquidrc.com for products
- you just labeled my life. what about sex?? thats a hobby
- gambling nope sports nope video games yes......the rest no way lady dont wanna hear from me trust me well its not bad just i dont wanna get reported for the games ur bf should get a wii or a 360 ps3 nope plp over past said they didnt like it so thats y plp r buying wii and 360s so u rather let him play games and he could also play online games if u have two computers then u could both play!
- Yea....Sports and Porn are the main hobbies for men. Only other thing I can think of is model building - they have cars, plains and many other things. I think they even have trains.
- If your boyfriend likes technology then have him try Ham Radio. It is a hobby dominated by males. WWW.ARRL.org Shooting sports are loads of fun too. WWW.NRA.org
- Suggest that he spend a couple hours in the magazine dept. of a bookstore, and see if anything looks interesting to him. There are magazines on just about everything. Just a comment for what it's worth: Those whose lives revolve around things like sports, video games, gambling and porn generally aren't inclined to find more productive pastimes, and may not appreciate efforts to push them in that direction.
- Go by the bookstore and get him a copy of FineScale Modeler. See if that interests him.
- He could try numismatics (coin collecting). It is largely dominated by men. Although I really would like to see a few more women in the hobby.
- My hobbies are restoring old cars, building model cars, flying gas powered remote control planes and helicopters, hunting, fishing, shooting clay pigeons etc.
- How about painting model cars or airplanes. Even making model airplanes that can fly. It's a lot harder than it sounds because a model airplane has to be exactly like a regular one to fly. Other things could be coin collecting (you know we have all those state quarters comeing out and the new nickles), and woodwork (good way to make extra cash).
- First, he might want to check out my answer in this previous thread to get some ideas about what he might actually be interested in as a hobby: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiLcvLJE3N9fOMRDQxJ2N6jsy6IX?qid=20061215084652AAaHu8b And lots of guys are into polymer clay ...some only make monsters and other figures, but some make structures, Halloween/xmas/etc. decorations, or boxes/bowls, or just all kinds of things with it... including jewelry for their girlfriends <g>. There are all kinds of techniques to explore too that appeal to men (or anyone). Have him check out my site if you think he might be interested in any of that: http://glassattic.com/polymer/contents.htm (...have him scroll all the way down to browse the topics... then when he finds something he'd like to investigate, click on the name of its page from inside the alphabetical navigation bar on the left side to go to it...) P.S. This page at the site also has "gift" ideas for men, so he might want to peruse those for ideas too: http://glassattic.com/polymer/gifts_men_teachers.htm (... click on MEN'S...) HTH, Diane B.
- Sorry I think those are the only things guys like.
- What is left? I`m with ''donielle ''on this one.
- I have found if somebody wants to do something they will find away to do it. You can not do it for them.
