Why dont many girls have adventuous hobbies?

I don't think he was being serious.

I'd probably suggest that the women that do these kind of things probably meet guys whilst doing these activities and therefore aren't on dating websites. The running club i sometimes run with has a fairly even split i'd say, and likewise some paddleboarding facebook groups i'm in seem to have more women posting than men, although that could be more due to the desire to be involved in social media.

Because too many creepy guys are there harassing any woman that wants to try them.

I've seen first hand how weird most guys are when there is a woman who rock climbs, rides motorcycles at the track or lifts weights.

I see this posted online and only online, none of my women friends (some do activities, some don't) have ever mentioned this. Most women just don't have the time is the reality.
 
Agree. It was hard to find an outdoorsy girl while dating. And it's something I won't compromise on

I have seen it in the distance past. But these days I see woman doing all sorts of things without problems. There was a time when a gamer girl, girl Racer or playing Warhammer 40k would have been the center of attention. These days no one thinks twice.
 
I agree that broad strokes (VERY broad strokes) women and men often have different hobbies... however there is a lot of overlap.

I am surprised that you are not finding women interested in walking or scuba however. I have been on a few hikes in my time (a few years ago when i was much fitter) and the party was close to a 50/50 mix.

Also am an advanced open water diver and whilst it may not be a 50/50 split on the boat a lot of the time, there is a good female representation too. (actually i was quite jealous of some of the women on my last dive... as a 6foot 2 larger bloke - even when i was fit - my ability to manage my O2 was far worse than most of the women, who could stay down a good 5+ minutes longer than me.

edit.. PS get your ass to Egypt (as soon as it is safe to do so). No where else this side of the planet can match the Red Sea for diving in my experience (and fairly cheap too) :)

If you want to meet women with similar interests look for clubs that do those interests, go to events around those interests etc and you'll be more likely to meet a woman who enjoys it.

Online dating you'll be meeting a lot of women who like flicking through their phone sat in their PJ's watching Love Island... (General sweeping statement but doesn't mean it's not pretty accurate)
 
Im surprised you mention walking, whenever I am out on the hills I see a lot of women and not just in groups, many solo walkers as well.

So much this!
Get out and go to clubs etc don't rely on Internet dating


Its unbelievable how many people watch live island. The demographics for those who love Island aren't surprising

I have problem trying to find one that likes to stay in a fair bit...:(
Women just want to go out 24/7...

Hard finding ones who like staying in. Because they are likely mostly not in themselves!

. I also like staying in. I do love going out to beach, walks kayaking in evening But no interest in pubs and clubs or restaurants.
 
I work in an industry where a lot of female colleagues I have are very much into doing munroes, rock climbing, kayaking etc so yeah, girls have hobbies I guess.

The only things I find unattractive in this regard are people that say ‘no’ to things without trying them or are wimps. For example, I know a woman that has a mantra that she simply ‘doesn’t do exercise’ which is really not something I’d want in a long term partner.

I can't stress this enough...

Are most people at 40 just content with not doing a lot? Or perhaps get a lot of satisfaction just from socialising (i dont)?

Anyone any insight into this issue?

My inclination is that is it might have something to do with the maternal instinct. Walking aside but those other hobbies you mentioned that have a danger element attached might be viewed as putting themselves at risk from harm. So maybe affecting their potential fertility or ability to look after kids.

My own missus used to love high adrenaline things like going on rollercoasters etc but as soon as she had our child then for some reason she totally went off them.
 
I didn't read the article but the headline was something like, "why men like stamp collecting... its genetic".

Someone said it right earlier, women tend to like people, men tend to like things.

Have you ever noticed when a woman is with a guy she suddenly becomes interested in anything he's doing. But if they break up and she gets with another guy shes suddenly interested in what he's doing.
