Want a new hobby!

thedoc46 · 13 Jul 2015 at 20:28

Computers / video games bore me too this day and age, as much as i try and stay into it, after a lifetime of loving it, i now struggle. So anyway, things that i enjoy instead.....

Physical....

Road Bikes
Mounting biking
Gym

RC Cars (building, fixing, using)
Motorcycles offroad and onroad (don't kill yourself mind, and blame OcUK)
Tinkering on cars
Detailing cars (can be very rewarding if you have something decent) Actually its my goto therapy these days... Neighbours think i'm a little obsessive, but i genuinely enjoy keeping the cars waxed and shiny.

Get yourself a go-pro and start making YouTube videos perhaps ?

I got back into electronics recently as a hobby - though its not exactly cheap if you don't already have the equipment and find breadboarding boring like I do :S I find it quite rewarding when I finally build something that works heh.

Lego

Get yourself a bike and do a track day.

Do up old furniture to sell on. Collect coins. Grow stuff. Tropical fish. Get a telescope.

Learn to masturbate with your weaker hand?

If you're going to start a new hobby do one that brings transferable skills / benefits. Exercise can sound a bit dull, but something like swimming or climbing can be fun and novel.

Model making is a great hobby, but depending on how much you get into it, that can start getting expensive too.

Photography can be addictive and therefore ruinously expensive....

Once you've learnt to blur the edges of your picture then you are at the top of your game, it's a bit pointless after that

hobbies, learn to weld?

Both hands are equal unfirtunatly

Lol

Lots of suggestions here! I must say i have tried guitar, years ago picked up a nice yamaha acoustic and tried to self teach on and off for ages but just never had the will power to keep practicing but have always wanted to get better! Its sat next to my pc now as a decorative item

Wouldnt say physical activity is out if the question, but i must say the idea of a gym has never interested me but thanks for the suggestion!

True, only need the hobby until the baby shows up then i imagine free time will be hard to come by
