Hobbies at home for girls. Hobbies for girls. How it happens. Hobbies that attract the opposite sex

Dapoxetine acts on the cerebral cortex, which promotes natural sexual arousal and slows down sexual discharge. According to clinical studies, the drug prevents premature ejaculation in all adult patients. That is why you can have no doubt about the effectiveness of the generic! The active substance begins to act half an hour after administration and remains effective for 2 hours.

One tablet can be taken once a day. It is recommended to take the drug with plain water. You should not drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks while taking Dapoxetine, as this leads to increased heart rate and increased blood pressure.

The tests carried out did not reveal any serious side effects when taking the medication, so you can safely buy dapoxetine in our pharmacy and enjoy a rich sex life. However, if the dosage is exceeded, headaches, nausea leading to vomiting, pain in the abdominal cavity and rapid heartbeat may occur. In this case, you need to contact your treating specialist.

Below are the main contraindications in which you should refrain from using Dapoxetine: 1. Individual intolerance to lactose or other components of the medication. 2. Severe liver pathologies (cirrhosis). 3. Heart rhythm disturbances, heart failure.

The stimulant should not be combined with the following drugs:

1. Antidepressants.

2. Psychostimulants intended for the treatment of schizophrenia and other mental disorders.

3. Medicines intended for the treatment of migraine.

4. Drugs containing lithium.

5. Preparations based on St. John's wort.

6. Strong painkillers (Tramadol).

If your doctor has prescribed you one of the above medications, you must complete the course of treatment, and only after two weeks you will be able to take Dapoxetine without fear for your health. After you have finished taking this stimulant, you should avoid taking the following medications for one week:

1. Means for the treatment of fungal pathologies.

2. Medicines intended for the treatment of HIV infection (ritonavir).

3. Antidepressants.

If you are taking any strong medications at the same time, be sure to consult your doctor before purchasing Dapoxetine. Another useful recommendation: before taking the pill, measure your blood pressure and make sure it is normal. Is there a difference between generic dapoxetine and the original drug? Some people are still convinced that a generic drug is a fake that does not deserve attention. However, it is not. Manufacturers develop a generic dapoxetine based on the composition of the original drug; only the color of the tablets and packaging design may differ. That is why the effectiveness of the generic is no worse than the effectiveness of the original Dapoxetine, and its cost is much lower.

The shelf life of the stimulator is three years, and it is recommended to store it in a cool and dark place out of reach of children. Do not use the drug after this period, otherwise its effectiveness will be in question. Thus, generic Dapoxetine will give you a vibrant sex life and long-lasting sexual intercourse that can completely satisfy your partner! You can purchase this drug in our pharmacy at an affordable price. To order, call us by phone and indicate exactly how many tablets you would like to buy. We provide prompt delivery by courier or by mail, the timing depends on your locality.

Hobby is a word of English origin. "Hobby" was originally mentioned in written sources in the 13th century and meant a "small horse", a pony. The English writer Laurence Sterne in his novel “The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy” first used this word to mean “passion”, “hobby”. Each hero of his novel has his own hobby and this, the author believes, is what makes a person human.

“A hobby is that frisky horse on which you can gallop away from reality, from everyday worries and troubles,” writes the author. This is where the expression “got on your hobby” came from, i.e. chose an activity to your liking.
Very often, passion and hobby are meant as synonyms. And yet, a hobby is considered a more permanent and thorough activity, coming from the very depths of the soul. Hobby is a short-term inclination towards a certain type of activity.

Hobbies and interests are a real outlet for women in their endless everyday activities: work, childcare, laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc. They save you from stress, sad mood, depression and help you realize the talents that every person certainly possesses.

And how nice it is when people like the results of your hobby and they happily buy your work or ask you to teach them how to do the same. Therefore, you can make money from any hobby in any case, either by teaching on the Internet (blog, YouTube) or private master classes or selling your services and products

How to choose a hobby you like

As you can see, there are a great many hobbies and hobbies, and women are so different that only each one can independently find for herself that very interesting activity that will make “the soul sing.” It is rare to find women whose hobbies coincide with paid work. They talk about them - going to work as if it were a holiday.

For every woman there is sure to be an activity that will bring joy and pleasure. Try to remember what you wanted to do as a child and for some reason the desire did not come true.

There is no need to force yourself to focus on fashion trends or girlfriends. Analyze which areas of activity most attract you, match your character and the type of your main job. You can choose and try different types of hobbies. After all, the goal of a hobby is to please, bring pleasure and make life more diverse.

Handicrafts will help “unload your head.” Yoga will teach you how to put your thoughts in order and control your emotions. Vegetable gardening and floriculture will help relieve irritability, anxiety and energize you from the earth. Dancing will allow you to feel your body, become more flexible, feminine and graceful. You, like any person, may be visited by thoughts of “I can’t do it.” For any activity you need to make an effort and everything will definitely work out. Here it is appropriate to quote the words of V. Lebedev-Kumach from the song “The Cheerful Wind”: “Whoever wants will achieve it, whoever seeks will always find.”

And when you find your hobby, don’t indulge in it endlessly. Don't forget that everything is good in moderation. To make your hobby a joy, remain a multifaceted personality and still do not lose your sense of reality for a long time.

Then begin to implement the accumulated interesting creative ideas that were not implemented due to constant employment. Write memoirs, read prose and poetry, listen to your favorite classical music. Master the computer and take up interesting, horizon-expanding and income-generating copywriting.

A very exciting activity is growing indoor plants. Many pensioners are engaged in gardening, horticulture, and floriculture. You can design your home, embroidery, knitting, sewing, cooking, creating dolls, making creams to care for your face as you age.

Solving crosswords and various puzzles is useful for memory and intelligence. Hobbies greatly increase self-esteem. Go swimming. Get a pet that can take away someone else's pain and take away trouble from home. Hiking, interesting excursions, hiking trips - everything is in your hands.

Learning to play the guitar is a skill that will provide you and your loved ones with years of entertainment. Besides, girls like guys who can play the guitar. Personally, I've used my plucking skills to serenade Kate and apologize for things. In later life, you can gather the whole family in the yard around the fire and sing together. Of course, learning to play any instrument is an activity suited to men, but guitars have advantages. They are relatively cheap and easier for beginners to learn. You can find mountains of resources online with free lessons, including this article of ours about the three chords that every man should know.

Dancing


Your grandfather could dance - why not bring out your inner dancer and take up dancing? They can boost your self-esteem and improve your posture and balance. It's also a super fun way to get some cardio. And, of course, girls like guys who know how to lead their partner on the dance floor. You can find dance studios in most cities. Google it and go talk to instructors to see their style and check out their resumes. If you are married or have a girlfriend, then dancing is a great way to spend the evening. Being single is a great way to meet people.

Parkour


Parkour is a sport in which you jump off buildings and over walls. More precisely, parkour is the physical art of moving through an environment in the most natural and efficient way possible. It can be exciting to watch people traverse terrain in ways unimaginable, and it can be inspiring to see the human body push the boundaries of what is possible. Today we think of parkour as a fun form of entertainment, but it was invented as a tactical way to improve the physical fitness of soldiers. The benefits of this hobby are many: it's fun, it's great exercise, it pushes the boundaries of your creativity, it challenges both your body and mind, and it can save your life if you ever find yourself running and jumping over obstacles. And it's completely free. All you need are arms, legs and a cityscape.

Working with wood


I've always admired people who can take an ordinary piece of wood and shape it into some useful and beautiful shape. These people make their own gifts instead of buying them, and can proudly point to a piece of furniture and say, “I made that myself.” You can become such a person by taking up a wonderful hobby - working with wood. In addition to useful skills, this hobby reduces stress levels and trains patience. By bringing a chisel to the wood, it is easier to enter a state close to Zen. Many technical educational institutions offer lessons in woodworking. You can find many woodworking projects on the Internet.

Garden care

Perhaps one of the most powerful masculine images for America is the farmer. A man who relies only on himself, working the land on his own to provide for himself and his family. To work with the land you don’t need a huge estate - a small plot in the yard will be enough. If your job requires you to spend all your time in an office with artificial light and stagnant air, then working with soil is a great hobby to get some exercise and get your dose of sunshine and fresh air. As you watch your garden grow from seed to plant, you will find yourself becoming more aware of the changing seasons. When you reap your small harvest, the pleasure of achieving your goal will surpass any computer game. And after preparing the first course with products grown yourself, you will feel a surge of male pride.

Canoeing/Kayaking


Slowly rowing and moving through the water is one of the greatest pleasures for a man. Whether you're doing it with a girlfriend or enjoying nature alone, there are few fun activities that compare to this hobby. And although rowing may seem as natural as riding a bike, it requires certain skills. You can start by renting equipment, and if you like it, you can buy yourself a boat. Once you master this science, you can move from easy walks to multi-day trips.

Opening locks


Not only is picking locks useful in emergencies, it's also incredibly exciting to know that you can defeat a mechanism that everyone else considers insurmountable and only amenable to brute force. With certain skills and knowledge, a burglar can save the doors and save on calling a locksmith.

Classic car restoration


In days gone by, men used to spend hours in garages tinkering with cars. Now machines have become more complex and have begun to rely on computers, and home mechanical work is dying out. However, if you have aspirations of becoming a mechanic, you can always make restoring classic cars your hobby. You'll learn engineering, improve your problem-solving skills, and experience that feeling of victory when your rebuilt engine purrs like a kitten. This hobby can be quite expensive. Not only do you have to buy a classic car, you also need space, tools and custom parts. But the time and money can pay off—fully restored cars can sell for high prices (though you may not want to part with your creation). To get started, you can visit the website for restoration enthusiasts Second Chance Garage.

BBQ/kebabs


Cooking is also on our list, but cooking meat over an open fire is a separate hobby. Whether it's on the grill or grill, searing a good piece of meat and serving the finished dish is satisfying to both the mind and the stomach. The barrier to entry is low - all you need is a grill and meat. Once you're comfortable with the tools and food, you can start experimenting with different methods and types of meat (and even fruits and vegetables), making your own spice blends, and of course preparing delicious meals for friends and family. We recommend our training videos on cooking meat.

Working with metal

Working with metal has all the benefits of working with wood, but instead of the sweet smell of sawdust, you're surrounded by the deliciously noxious smell of burning metal. My brother-in-law got into metalworking in high school and makes amazing things: headboards for bedroom decoration, hanging flower pots, garden arches, etc. A vocational school near you may likely offer courses in metalworking. Metalworking.com is a great site to find such information.

Target shooting

Learn to enjoy shooting at the shooting range and become an experienced shooter. Shooting requires high concentration and a steady hand. There are plenty of shooting ranges, and different types of shooting can be found in different shooting ranges. Choose between skeet, pistol, shotgun, etc. The hobby can be expensive - pistols are not cheap, and the cost of ammunition is constantly rising. You will also need a place for safe shooting - if you do not have such an area, you will have to rent space at the shooting range.

Collecting


Collecting appeals to many men and is unknown to most women. Women are able to do several things at once, while the male brain is tuned to concentrate on one thing. We often become very passionate about something. If you combine this feature with a man’s fundamental desire to hunt, you get a man’s passion for collecting. A man may spend all his time searching for the last item to complete a collection. She becomes his passion, his White Whale. Of course, finishing a collection is usually disappointing. The essence of collecting is the chase. Pick what you like - stamps, baseball cards, antique typewriters, whatever. Just don't get too carried away.

Singing

If you like to sing in the shower or sing along to the radio on your way to work, perhaps you should take up your singing more. It may seem to you that there are only two options - either you are a professional rock singer, or you will not be able to use your voice for productive and entertaining purposes. Nothing like this. There are a large number of singing communities, choirs, karaoke bars (where competitions are often held on weekends), and if you decide to get serious about singing, you can even start your own group. Always try to hone your skills, take singing lessons and delve into music theory and performance skills.

Hiking


Modern man is restless and unhappy because he has lost contact with nature. Every man needs to regularly return to nature for the sake of physical and mental health. He must periodically take a break from everything and spend the night under the stars. Leave your office desk behind and spend a few days breathing fresh air and sitting around the fire. Another obvious advantage of hiking is that it is the most budget-friendly way to “get away from it all.” This is a great opportunity to improve your outdoor skills, find spiritual intimacy with friends, and also be alone with a loved one.

Ship in a bottle


A classic hobby for older people is assembling complex models in a glass bottle. Surprise the kids with your ships in a bottle collection! They will spend the rest of their childhood trying to figure out how you did it. Placing a ship in a bottle requires good concentration, patience and a steady hand. Typically a model ship is built externally with the masts lying down. After inserting it into the bottle, you lift the masts using long tongs. You can also make "impossible bottles" by placing objects such as decks of cards or tennis balls in them.

Making candles


Once upon a time, candle making was a lucrative and extremely important business. Electricity killed this profession, but candles still find their way into many homes as coziness creators and aromatic devices. Who doesn't like watching a twinkling light on a cool evening, or inhaling a pleasant aroma in the early morning? Candles sold in stores can be expensive, but homemade candles will be cheap - plus, they are easy to learn how to make yourself. All you need is wax, a wick and containers.

Rocking chair


Some men lift weights in the morning to get not only their body, but also their spirit into ideal shape. If you're just starting out, it can sometimes be difficult to find the motivation to lift weights or go for a run. But once you start getting into shape, you'll figure out how to structure your day to fit an hour of exercise into it. Instead of going to the garage or woodworking, you try increasing the weight on the deadlift. Being strong isn't just practical - it also improves your appearance (hi girls!) and it's actually pretty cool to know you can lift 200kg off the ground.

Hunting

For thousands of years, the role of a man was to provide for the family. For most of history, this required hunting down and killing animals. Many cultures and tribes provided a coming-of-age rite for young men through hunting and provided opportunities for men to form bonds in all-male company. Today, most men receive their meat wrapped in a piece of paper labeled "Big Mac" or in a plastic container at the store. Usually this meat is stuffed with hormones and antibiotics. The connection between the man, his food and nature has been broken.

If you want to return to the “circle of life”, it’s time to go hunting. The benefits of hunting are numerous. First, it gives your family a chance to have access to quality, lean meats without the antibiotics and hormones (and even ammonia) that are found in most grocery store foods. Secondly, it puts you back in touch with nature. Third, you'll be supporting wildlife because the money spent on licenses and equipment is donated to environmental agencies. Fourth, even if you don't shoot anything, hunting gives you the opportunity to strengthen your friendships with your buddies, which greatly influences your overall happiness.

Wood cutting

What if you are interested in working with wood, but don't have the money to set up a full-fledged carpentry shop? Try cutting with a knife. All you need is a knife, a piece of soft wood, a rocking chair, a smoking pipe, and most importantly, a lot of time. Knife planing is one of those pastimes that helps you relax and calm your nerves after hard work. A book on this art can be borrowed from the library. There you will find lots of ideas and plans to get started.

Geocaching


Have you lost your childhood love of playing hide and seek? Always wanted to go on a treasure hunt? Then geocaching might be for you. People all over the world hide objects or containers in different places and post their coordinates online. Others, armed with GPS navigators, are looking for these “treasures.” This is a great excuse to get out of the house and explore parts of the city and suburbs you've never been to before. More information on this issue can be found at geocaching.com.

Modeling


Modeling, or creating copies of cars, planes, ships, may have been interesting to you when you were still a child. But what stops you from resuming this hobby when you grow up? Modeling sharpens your attention to detail and motivates you to learn the history of the things you work with. Plus, you'll have something interesting to display in your office or "man's corner" of your home. It's very easy to do - head to Amazon or your local hobby store and buy a kit, which will almost always have all the instructions and items needed.

Gold prospecting


This hobby will not make you a millionaire, but it can be an interesting entertainment that pays for itself, and maybe a source of additional income. Gold prospecting is no longer the purely commercial enterprise it once was. In today's world, it is usually one of the outdoor activities that the whole family can do, usually on a small stream. You can start with a simple shovel and gold pan, and over time you can upgrade to a more professional gold pan and dredge. Being on the banks of any stream is already fun, but an experienced gold miner knows that the lion's share of his profession is occupied by the research phase: where gold was before, where it will go and where it will accumulate, how the precious metal behaves in nature. Only after this can you go into nature, knowing that you have increased your chances of success. In this way you can become both a tourist and a gold digger.

Working with leather

The smell of leather awakens the primal senses in a person and the part that has always enjoyed stories about cowboys and Indians. Working with leather is a great way to reconnect with your inner cowboy and learn a truly masculine craft. An experienced leatherworker is able to create many products: wallets, bags, belts, holsters, saddles. The downside is that this hobby is quite expensive. You will need all sorts of special tools. To get started, you can buy a starter kit at the Tandy Leather Factory store. It has everything you need to make small items like a wallet or keychain. With a starter kit, you can gauge your interest before committing large sums to big projects.

Bowling


Team sport


Every man, whether a nerd or an athlete, should play sports in a team. Exercise helps increase testosterone levels (modern men desperately need this, our average testosterone levels are constantly decreasing), keeps you healthy and fit, wards off depression and relieves mental stress. Sports that provide an outlet for men's competitive spirit are especially important for cultivating masculinity. Play football, basketball or something else with friends, or go to a special section. The type of sport does not matter, the main thing is to get the blood pumping and the heart beating.

Online courses


Every man should learn throughout his life. Reading is a great hobby that can promote learning, but online classes give you a variety of learning methods (videos, reading, discussion) and check your progress with quizzes and assignments. Experts in their field can answer your questions and help you if you have any difficulties.

The great thing is that in most cases this hobby will be free. Sites like Coursera and EdX offer a variety of topics, from programming to critical thinking to classical music. The most difficult thing in this case is not to miss classes because you didn’t pay anything for them. To stay motivated, try doing this at the same time as someone you know.

Riding a motorcycle

Many men love motorcycles and riding motorcycles - from tinkering in the garage to riding off-road. The pleasures of this hobby extend beyond mere miles of travel and technical knowledge. Books like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Motorcycle Workshop as a Soul Craft argue that motorcycle riding has philosophical and moral benefits:

When traveling on a motorcycle, everything around you looks completely different compared to other types of travel. In a car you are always in a confined space, and since you get used to it, you practically do not realize that from the car window you see only another picture, like on TV. You are just a passive observer, and everything floats past you tediously, as if in a frame.

There is no shot of the motorcycle. You develop a connection with everything around you. You yourself are on stage, and not just watching it from the side, and the feeling of presence is simply amazing.
- Robert M. Pirsig, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"


You can start by purchasing and learning to ride a motorcycle.

Knick-knacks and antiques

Vinyl


In the 50s and 60s, parties often revolved around the record player. People could gather to listen to the new album. Like many nostalgic pursuits of the era, vinyl is making a comeback. Vinyl sales have skyrocketed over the past few years, while CD sales continue to decline. For a music lover, switching to vinyl means new experiences with familiar tunes. Fans of vinyl claim that it has a richer and more accurate sound in the recording.

Listening to vinyl also forces you to concentrate on the album as a whole, rather than jumping between favorite singles. You absorb it as a work of art, rather than perceiving it as four minutes of entertainment, which is often what the musicians intended the album to be.

Bird watching


Recreational ornithology offers many of the benefits of collecting, the organized collection of knowledge about a particular subject, and even the thrill of hunting - all for free. Instead of buying items and cluttering your home with them, you keep a journal of your finds or cross species off your list. For young people, this hobby seems like an old man's pastime, but even to me, at almost 30 years old, birds already seem a little more interesting than before. It is possible that the whole point is in their peacefulness or in envy of their ability to fly - in any case, these are beautiful creatures with the same variety in color, shape and habits as people. Bird watching is fun and enjoyment that can be found in a short walk or a long search for certain rare species, and in learning about these creatures that we humans try so hard to emulate. Grab your binoculars and go!

Housework/DIY

Some men go out of their way to avoid doing anything around the house and consider it an unpleasant chore. But for many others, it's a perfectly enjoyable way to spend a day off. Finishing a basement, doing some needed home maintenance, repainting a room, cleaning out the garage is a chance to work with your hands and learn a new skill.

At home, we need to love and care for them just like our bodies to keep them healthy. If you learn to enjoy it, you'll benefit from it, and you'll likely save money by not hiring specialists. Of course, you need to be careful - safety comes first, and you don't want to pay more to fix something you break. There are tons of resources, articles, and videos on this topic online, as well as books and TV shows.

Board games


Dwight David Eisenhower loved to play bridge with his colleagues until the early hours of the morning. Winston Churchill loved to play mahjong and gin rummy with his family before dinner. Many of the Founding Fathers, including Franklin, Jefferson, and Madison, loved chess. US presidents, from Roosevelt to Truman, played poker with advisers. Abraham Lincoln played backgammon with his sons.

Almost every great historical figure had a favorite board game - as well as almost every ordinary man whose names have been lost to the centuries. Join them and discover the many benefits that come from playing board games with your friends and families.

Volunteering


Even men who don't consider themselves self-interested can be greedy with their time. But if in the short term the reluctance to share your time and resources seems to be the path to happiness, then in the long term this selfishness destroys the soul. Some kind of service should be a part of every man's life - by throwing ourselves into helping others, we often find that our lives have improved too.

Instead of devoting all your time to your goals, why not help others through volunteering. By helping another, you can find your purpose, look at your problems differently, overcome prejudices, etc. And while men certainly need some time to be alone, spending time helping others is also a great way to recover.

Photo


If you've always wanted to draw, but weren't good at it, try photography. Digital cameras and editing software are becoming cheaper, and photography is becoming a more popular and accessible hobby. Its advantage is that it can be combined with other activities. Do you like walks? Take a photo of nature. Do you like going to restaurants? Take pictures of them all. There is an active photography community online, and many enthusiasts of the hobby run free websites that teach photography.

Surfing


This hobby can only be enjoyed by a certain portion of the population living on the shores - but these people often build their entire lives around this activity. Walking on the sea on a boat is wonderful, but it is very different from the experience of being directly on the water with a surfboard. You feel every wave, the adrenaline, and suffer defeat when you lose your board. You are competing with yourself and Mother Nature herself. Few activities will connect you with nature as much as riding the waves. Where this hobby is widespread, it is impossible to miss specialized stores. Visit one, tell them you want to start surfing, and prepare to look stupid the first few times you try.

Billiards


Every time I watch the movie The Billiard Player, I'm tempted to go into a smoke-filled billiard room and become a cue master. Billiards combines strategy, geometry, and psychology. It's also a great way to spend time with friends. If you can't convince your wife that a game room wouldn't be complete without a pool table, head to the nearest pool hall or bowling alley. You won't have to pay very much to play - of course, unless you are beaten by a professional.

Mountaineering

If you love hiking, hiking, and are looking for new adventures, then turn to mountaineering. Why do climbers climb mountains? Because mountains exist! Few things are as satisfying as getting to the top after a tiring climb, enjoying the mesmerizing view and the fact that you have just conquered the mountain. We recommend a good one with tips on mountaineering.

Walking on a tightrope


This hobby began in the 70s on a college campus, when a group of climbing friends strung a rope between two trees and began challenging each other to not only walk along it, but also perform some acrobatic stunts. Since then, it has become not only a popular way for students to spend time, but also one of the team building activities. In today's variation of this hobby, the rope is stretched between trees at a height of 30-50 cm above the ground. Usually people just try to walk along its entire length and not fall, and not even show off any tricks. It requires not only good physical fitness and practice, but also mental focus and stamina. It's also a great way to be in nature without the distractions of electronic devices, and of course, it can be done by any number of people, making tightrope walking a great social activity. After learning how to walk on a tightrope, you can try to learn various tricks. Getting started is quite simple - find a rope, a couple of trees and go!

Cooking

We never tire of repeating: every man should be able to cook. There are thousands of benefits to this skill: it makes you independent, it saves you money from buying ready-made food, it impresses girls, it helps you stay healthy (have you seen the ingredients in fast food?), and it’s just fun. You have to eat every day, so you can learn and enjoy it. In addition, it is an inexpensive and accessible hobby. You can move on to more exotic tools and foods later on, but since you can find basic ingredients and tools in the kitchen, skip the prepared foods.

Piloting


Many of the most courageous men in history have conquered the skies - Charles Lindbergh, Chuck Yeager, Wiley Post. You may not break records, but you can still soar like an eagle. Of course, the biggest obstacle to this hobby will be its cost. It is expensive. Flight lessons will cost several thousand dollars, and a license will cost several hundred. And you will also need a plane. Some people combine their love of flying with their love of mechanics by designing their own airplanes. But still, you will need a place to store it, for which you will have to pay rent monthly. But despite the high cost of the hobby, many amateur pilots I know tell me that it is definitely worth it - the feeling of complete freedom in the air.

Tricks

Every man should learn a couple of tricks to amaze his friends, amaze the girls and entertain the kids. Few hobbies are as fun to pursue as practicing magic tricks. And after people ask you to reveal the secret of the trick, you will walk around with a smile on your face for a long time. Practicing performing a trick over and over again, so that everything goes absolutely smoothly, is a job that doesn’t feel like work. And every man knows that the only fun way to shop is at a magic shop. Magic tricks are an inexpensive hobby; you will need a good book and a deck of cards. And then you can gradually increase the complexity of the tricks until you saw your mother-in-law in half in the living room.

Language learning


Few hobbies can be so clearly classified as useful activities as learning foreign languages. How often have you wanted to be able to communicate with a waiter, a student, a parent, a victim - and don’t beg for it. And how often would you like to speak the local language while traveling? Learning a language can be challenging, but if you think about it, being able to speak different languages ​​is pretty cool. You can find courses in educational institutions or try self-study methods such as Rosetta Stone. The key is constant practice, or you will never improve your skills or retain what you have learned. Watching films, television and listening to songs in the target language also helps.

Blogging

Paintball


Remember how, as a child, you played war games with your friends, using imaginary grenades, bazookas and bullets? Now that you're a big boy, you can still play war - but this time you can feel the impact of a paintball flying at 150 km/h. Trust me, it greatly enhances the emotional response. Paintball is not too expensive to play - renting a gun, CO 2 cartridge, mask and balls for the whole day will cost you about $30. And if you get carried away, you can purchase your own equipment and pay only for using the sites.

Fencing


An guard! What do the three musketeers, Zorro and Luke Skywalker have in common? Incredible swordsmanship, of course! This sport has existed since the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and is a truly masculine activity. Take part in the tradition taught to the knights and lords of old, in the last true duels. Develop a sense of balance, coordination, flexibility and concentration while learning the ancient art of fending off opponents. There are three types of weapons used in fencing: rapier, saber and epee. They have different weights and different rules of use. Do a little research on fencing and take a look video from the fight to understand what it is. This is different from the long movie fights with clashing swords. A big part of fencing is jumping, looking for vulnerable spots and opportunities to hit your opponent.

Brewing

Saturday morning. A match featuring your favorite team will be shown on TV, and you have invited your friends to watch. What drinks will you treat them to? You can, of course, go to the store and pick up a pack of Miller High Life - but wouldn’t it be cooler and somehow more courageous to offer them beer of your own making? This is possible if you start brewing beer as a hobby. It's fairly easy and inexpensive to get started. The Simple Dollar website has excellent step-by-step instructions with photos and all the costs. Once you're more familiar with the brewing process, you can start experimenting with flavors and giving away your limited-edition brew as gifts.

Drawing


Winston Churchill was an avid artist. He could sit for hours in the garden or in his home studio, painting and smoking a cigar. This is how he dealt with depression. He understood the life-giving effect creativity has on a man. Many men do not take up drawing because they believe that they do not have an innate talent for it. This may be true, but courses and practice can improve your abilities. Drawing is the most accessible form of art. A few pencils and a sketchbook will keep you busy for a long time. For painting you need a little more equipment and funds, depending on its type. Watercolors are cheaper (and easier to clean up) than oil paints. Most hobby and art stores offer painting classes. If that's not enough for you, you can always watch video tutorials from the white man with the greatest afro hairstyle in history, Bob Ross, on his show The Joy of Painting.

Amateur astronomy

Space, the last frontier. You probably won't be able to go to space, but you can still be amazed by its enormity even if you're in your backyard. You'll be surprised how many different things you can see in space with a small telescope or powerful binoculars. If you want to peer into deep space, you'll need a powerful telescope, which will cost you around $1,000. But this may be followed by a long-awaited result when you discover something in your yard that even NASA experts missed. Amateur astronomers have made several major discoveries. Doing astronomy doesn't just mean looking through a telescope. This means learning as much as possible about the amazing Universe from books, shows, lectures, etc. You can start even before purchasing a telescope by memorizing the constellations and the stories associated with them.

Genealogy

Genealogy is a funny thing. This hobby seems terribly boring from an observer's point of view. But once you become passionate about it, it can completely capture you and become something you truly love. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but how do you know what kind of apple you are if you don't know where you fell from? Every man should know and understand his roots. You will understand more about why you are the way you are, and why your parents are the way they are, and their parents, etc. You will learn to appreciate the people who made you happen. As you begin to build your family tree, you will be surprised at the length of the lines leading to you. You are not just an individual - you have a long family tree, and your ancestors are, in a sense, part of you. Start building a tree by talking with relatives who may have already done this, and you can also use specialized sites available on the Internet.

Knitting

Knitting? Knitting?! What your grandmother adores and what made your great aunt make you a scarf for Christmas? Yes, knitting. This is not such a womanish activity as men imagine it to be. Men invented knitting, and it's time to reclaim its place in its history. The first professional knitters were men, who worked in Europe in the 16th century. And, of course, sailors tied knots. They knitted fishing nets and sweaters to keep warm. Today, knitting is making a comeback as a men's activity. This is both useful and relaxing. A friend of mine learned to knit while serving in Bolivia and was the only man in the law school knitting club. And his masculinity is undeniable. about knitting and men.

Programming


What the ham radio hobby was in the 1950s is programming today. Many men have made this their profession, but there are also millions of those who do something else at work and program for fun in their free time. There are people making stupid online games, useful open source apps, and cool web projects. There are many programming languages ​​you can learn. I personally love web programming, and the lessons at W3Schools will allow you to learn both related languages ​​and technologies like SQL and CSS for free.

Steeplechase and multi-races


Steeplechase grew out of training courses for the military, and is an ideal sport for runners who are bored with running 5-10 km. Running for kilometers, climbing walls, crawling under barbed wire will strengthen your strength, cardiovascular system and agility, and test your physical and mental resilience.

Another type of load is adventure, or multi-race. They last all day and include a variety of activities. You may have to run 15 km, then row for 15 km, and then mountain bike through the forest for 30 km. Along the way, you need to stop at checkpoints that can only be found with the help of a map and compass. Physical activity, nature, orienteering are very masculine activities.

Fishing


Maybe killing a deer or a bear is not your thing. But you can still get all the benefits of foraging for your own food and connecting with nature by going fishing. Fishing is a classic hobby for men. A great way for buddies to become stronger friends, and for fathers and sons to spend time together. The cost of a hobby for a beginner is not too high. A decent rod and reel will cost you $50, and bait and bait will cost you a few dollars. Some areas require a permit to fish, so check the regulations before you go fishing. In addition, I recommend immediately learning how to unhook from a hook.

Only registered users can participate in the survey. Come in, please.


Learning to play the guitar is a skill that will provide you and your loved ones with years of entertainment. Besides, girls like guys who can play the guitar. Personally, I've used my plucking skills to serenade Kate and apologize for things. In later life, you can gather the whole family in the yard around the fire and sing together. Of course, learning to play any instrument is an activity suited to men, but guitars have advantages. They are relatively cheap and easier for beginners to learn. You can find mountains of resources online with free lessons, including this article of ours about the three chords that every man should know.

Dancing


Your grandfather could dance - why not bring out your inner dancer and take up dancing? They can boost your self-esteem and improve your posture and balance. It's also a super fun way to get some cardio. And, of course, girls like guys who know how to lead their partner on the dance floor. You can find dance studios in most cities. Google it and go talk to instructors to see their style and check out their resumes. If you are married or have a girlfriend, then dancing is a great way to spend the evening. Being single is a great way to meet people.

Parkour


Parkour is a sport in which you jump off buildings and over walls. More precisely, parkour is the physical art of moving through an environment in the most natural and efficient way possible. It can be exciting to watch people traverse terrain in ways unimaginable, and it can be inspiring to see the human body push the boundaries of what is possible. Today we think of parkour as a fun form of entertainment, but it was invented as a tactical way to improve the physical fitness of soldiers. The benefits of this hobby are many: it's fun, it's great exercise, it pushes the boundaries of your creativity, it challenges both your body and mind, and it can save your life if you ever find yourself running and jumping over obstacles. And it's completely free. All you need are arms, legs and a cityscape.

Working with wood


I've always admired people who can take an ordinary piece of wood and shape it into some useful and beautiful shape. These people make their own gifts instead of buying them, and can proudly point to a piece of furniture and say, “I made that myself.” You can become such a person by taking up a wonderful hobby - working with wood. In addition to useful skills, this hobby reduces stress levels and trains patience. By bringing a chisel to the wood, it is easier to enter a state close to Zen. Many technical educational institutions offer lessons in woodworking. You can find many woodworking projects on the Internet.

Garden care

Perhaps one of the most powerful masculine images for America is the farmer. A man who relies only on himself, working the land on his own to provide for himself and his family. To work with the land you don’t need a huge estate - a small plot in the yard will be enough. If your job requires you to spend all your time in an office with artificial light and stagnant air, then working with soil is a great hobby to get some exercise and get your dose of sunshine and fresh air. As you watch your garden grow from seed to plant, you will find yourself becoming more aware of the changing seasons. When you reap your small harvest, the pleasure of achieving your goal will surpass any computer game. And after preparing the first course with products grown yourself, you will feel a surge of male pride.

Canoeing/Kayaking


Slowly rowing and moving through the water is one of the greatest pleasures for a man. Whether you're doing it with a girlfriend or enjoying nature alone, there are few fun activities that compare to this hobby. And although rowing may seem as natural as riding a bike, it requires certain skills. You can start by renting equipment, and if you like it, you can buy yourself a boat. Once you master this science, you can move from easy walks to multi-day trips.

Opening locks


Not only is picking locks useful in emergencies, it's also incredibly exciting to know that you can defeat a mechanism that everyone else considers insurmountable and only amenable to brute force. With certain skills and knowledge, a burglar can save the doors and save on calling a locksmith.

Classic car restoration


In days gone by, men used to spend hours in garages tinkering with cars. Now machines have become more complex and have begun to rely on computers, and home mechanical work is dying out. However, if you have aspirations of becoming a mechanic, you can always make restoring classic cars your hobby. You'll learn engineering, improve your problem-solving skills, and experience that feeling of victory when your rebuilt engine purrs like a kitten. This hobby can be quite expensive. Not only do you have to buy a classic car, you also need space, tools and custom parts. But the time and money can pay off—fully restored cars can sell for high prices (though you may not want to part with your creation). To get started, you can visit the website for restoration enthusiasts Second Chance Garage.

BBQ/kebabs


Cooking is also on our list, but cooking meat over an open fire is a separate hobby. Whether it's on the grill or grill, searing a good piece of meat and serving the finished dish is satisfying to both the mind and the stomach. The barrier to entry is low - all you need is a grill and meat. Once you're comfortable with the tools and food, you can start experimenting with different methods and types of meat (and even fruits and vegetables), making your own spice blends, and of course preparing delicious meals for friends and family. We recommend our training videos on cooking meat.

Working with metal

Working with metal has all the benefits of working with wood, but instead of the sweet smell of sawdust, you're surrounded by the deliciously noxious smell of burning metal. My brother-in-law got into metalworking in high school and makes amazing things: headboards for bedroom decoration, hanging flower pots, garden arches, etc. A vocational school near you may likely offer courses in metalworking. Metalworking.com is a great site to find such information.

Target shooting

Learn to enjoy shooting at the shooting range and become an experienced shooter. Shooting requires high concentration and a steady hand. There are plenty of shooting ranges, and different types of shooting can be found in different shooting ranges. Choose between skeet, pistol, shotgun, etc. The hobby can be expensive - pistols are not cheap, and the cost of ammunition is constantly rising. You will also need a place for safe shooting - if you do not have such an area, you will have to rent space at the shooting range.

Collecting


Collecting appeals to many men and is unknown to most women. Women are able to do several things at once, while the male brain is tuned to concentrate on one thing. We often become very passionate about something. If you combine this feature with a man’s fundamental desire to hunt, you get a man’s passion for collecting. A man may spend all his time searching for the last item to complete a collection. She becomes his passion, his White Whale. Of course, finishing a collection is usually disappointing. The essence of collecting is the chase. Pick what you like - stamps, baseball cards, antique typewriters, whatever. Just don't get too carried away.

Singing

If you like to sing in the shower or sing along to the radio on your way to work, perhaps you should take up your singing more. It may seem to you that there are only two options - either you are a professional rock singer, or you will not be able to use your voice for productive and entertaining purposes. Nothing like this. There are a large number of singing communities, choirs, karaoke bars (where competitions are often held on weekends), and if you decide to get serious about singing, you can even start your own group. Always try to hone your skills, take singing lessons and delve into music theory and performance skills.

Hiking


Modern man is restless and unhappy because he has lost contact with nature. Every man needs to regularly return to nature for the sake of physical and mental health. He must periodically take a break from everything and spend the night under the stars. Leave your office desk behind and spend a few days breathing fresh air and sitting around the fire. Another obvious advantage of hiking is that it is the most budget-friendly way to “get away from it all.” This is a great opportunity to improve your outdoor skills, find spiritual intimacy with friends, and also be alone with a loved one.

Ship in a bottle


A classic hobby for older people is assembling complex models in a glass bottle. Surprise the kids with your ships in a bottle collection! They will spend the rest of their childhood trying to figure out how you did it. Placing a ship in a bottle requires good concentration, patience and a steady hand. Typically a model ship is built externally with the masts lying down. After inserting it into the bottle, you lift the masts using long tongs. You can also make "impossible bottles" by placing objects such as decks of cards or tennis balls in them.

Making candles


Once upon a time, candle making was a lucrative and extremely important business. Electricity killed this profession, but candles still find their way into many homes as coziness creators and aromatic devices. Who doesn't like watching a twinkling light on a cool evening, or inhaling a pleasant aroma in the early morning? Candles sold in stores can be expensive, but homemade candles will be cheap - plus, they are easy to learn how to make yourself. All you need is wax, a wick and containers.

Rocking chair


Some men lift weights in the morning to get not only their body, but also their spirit into ideal shape. If you're just starting out, it can sometimes be difficult to find the motivation to lift weights or go for a run. But once you start getting into shape, you'll figure out how to structure your day to fit an hour of exercise into it. Instead of going to the garage or woodworking, you try increasing the weight on the deadlift. Being strong isn't just practical - it also improves your appearance (hi girls!) and it's actually pretty cool to know you can lift 200kg off the ground.

Hunting

For thousands of years, the role of a man was to provide for the family. For most of history, this required hunting down and killing animals. Many cultures and tribes provided a coming-of-age rite for young men through hunting and provided opportunities for men to form bonds in all-male company. Today, most men receive their meat wrapped in a piece of paper labeled "Big Mac" or in a plastic container at the store. Usually this meat is stuffed with hormones and antibiotics. The connection between the man, his food and nature has been broken.

If you want to return to the “circle of life”, it’s time to go hunting. The benefits of hunting are numerous. First, it gives your family a chance to have access to quality, lean meats without the antibiotics and hormones (and even ammonia) that are found in most grocery store foods. Secondly, it puts you back in touch with nature. Third, you'll be supporting wildlife because the money spent on licenses and equipment is donated to environmental agencies. Fourth, even if you don't shoot anything, hunting gives you the opportunity to strengthen your friendships with your buddies, which greatly influences your overall happiness.

Wood cutting

What if you are interested in working with wood, but don't have the money to set up a full-fledged carpentry shop? Try cutting with a knife. All you need is a knife, a piece of soft wood, a rocking chair, a smoking pipe, and most importantly, a lot of time. Knife planing is one of those pastimes that helps you relax and calm your nerves after hard work. A book on this art can be borrowed from the library. There you will find lots of ideas and plans to get started.

Geocaching


Have you lost your childhood love of playing hide and seek? Always wanted to go on a treasure hunt? Then geocaching might be for you. People all over the world hide objects or containers in different places and post their coordinates online. Others, armed with GPS navigators, are looking for these “treasures.” This is a great excuse to get out of the house and explore parts of the city and suburbs you've never been to before. More information on this issue can be found at geocaching.com.

Modeling


Modeling, or creating copies of cars, planes, ships, may have been interesting to you when you were still a child. But what stops you from resuming this hobby when you grow up? Modeling sharpens your attention to detail and motivates you to learn the history of the things you work with. Plus, you'll have something interesting to display in your office or "man's corner" of your home. It's very easy to do - head to Amazon or your local hobby store and buy a kit, which will almost always have all the instructions and items needed.

Gold prospecting


This hobby will not make you a millionaire, but it can be an interesting entertainment that pays for itself, and maybe a source of additional income. Gold prospecting is no longer the purely commercial enterprise it once was. In today's world, it is usually one of the outdoor activities that the whole family can do, usually on a small stream. You can start with a simple shovel and gold pan, and over time you can upgrade to a more professional gold pan and dredge. Being on the banks of any stream is already fun, but an experienced gold miner knows that the lion's share of his profession is occupied by the research phase: where gold was before, where it will go and where it will accumulate, how the precious metal behaves in nature. Only after this can you go into nature, knowing that you have increased your chances of success. In this way you can become both a tourist and a gold digger.

Working with leather

The smell of leather awakens the primal senses in a person and the part that has always enjoyed stories about cowboys and Indians. Working with leather is a great way to reconnect with your inner cowboy and learn a truly masculine craft. An experienced leatherworker is able to create many products: wallets, bags, belts, holsters, saddles. The downside is that this hobby is quite expensive. You will need all sorts of special tools. To get started, you can buy a starter kit at the Tandy Leather Factory store. It has everything you need to make small items like a wallet or keychain. With a starter kit, you can gauge your interest before committing large sums to big projects.

Bowling


Team sport


Every man, whether a nerd or an athlete, should play sports in a team. Exercise helps increase testosterone levels (modern men desperately need this, our average testosterone levels are constantly decreasing), keeps you healthy and fit, wards off depression and relieves mental stress. Sports that provide an outlet for men's competitive spirit are especially important for cultivating masculinity. Play football, basketball or something else with friends, or go to a special section. The type of sport does not matter, the main thing is to get the blood pumping and the heart beating.

Online courses


Every man should learn throughout his life. Reading is a great hobby that can promote learning, but online classes give you a variety of learning methods (videos, reading, discussion) and check your progress with quizzes and assignments. Experts in their field can answer your questions and help you if you have any difficulties.

The great thing is that in most cases this hobby will be free. Sites like Coursera and EdX offer a variety of topics, from programming to critical thinking to classical music. The most difficult thing in this case is not to miss classes because you didn’t pay anything for them. To stay motivated, try doing this at the same time as someone you know.

Riding a motorcycle

Many men love motorcycles and riding motorcycles - from tinkering in the garage to riding off-road. The pleasures of this hobby extend beyond mere miles of travel and technical knowledge. Books like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Motorcycle Workshop as a Soul Craft argue that motorcycle riding has philosophical and moral benefits:

When traveling on a motorcycle, everything around you looks completely different compared to other types of travel. In a car you are always in a confined space, and since you get used to it, you practically do not realize that from the car window you see only another picture, like on TV. You are just a passive observer, and everything floats past you tediously, as if in a frame.

There is no shot of the motorcycle. You develop a connection with everything around you. You yourself are on stage, and not just watching it from the side, and the feeling of presence is simply amazing.
- Robert M. Pirsig, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"


You can start by purchasing and learning to ride a motorcycle.

Knick-knacks and antiques

Vinyl


In the 50s and 60s, parties often revolved around the record player. People could gather to listen to the new album. Like many nostalgic pursuits of the era, vinyl is making a comeback. Vinyl sales have skyrocketed over the past few years, while CD sales continue to decline. For a music lover, switching to vinyl means new experiences with familiar tunes. Fans of vinyl claim that it has a richer and more accurate sound in the recording.

Listening to vinyl also forces you to concentrate on the album as a whole, rather than jumping between favorite singles. You absorb it as a work of art, rather than perceiving it as four minutes of entertainment, which is often what the musicians intended the album to be.

Bird watching


Recreational ornithology offers many of the benefits of collecting, the organized collection of knowledge about a particular subject, and even the thrill of hunting - all for free. Instead of buying items and cluttering your home with them, you keep a journal of your finds or cross species off your list. For young people, this hobby seems like an old man's pastime, but even to me, at almost 30 years old, birds already seem a little more interesting than before. It is possible that the whole point is in their peacefulness or in envy of their ability to fly - in any case, these are beautiful creatures with the same variety in color, shape and habits as people. Bird watching is fun and enjoyment that can be found in a short walk or a long search for certain rare species, and in learning about these creatures that we humans try so hard to emulate. Grab your binoculars and go!

Housework/DIY

Some men go out of their way to avoid doing anything around the house and consider it an unpleasant chore. But for many others, it's a perfectly enjoyable way to spend a day off. Finishing a basement, doing some needed home maintenance, repainting a room, cleaning out the garage is a chance to work with your hands and learn a new skill.

At home, we need to love and care for them just like our bodies to keep them healthy. If you learn to enjoy it, you'll benefit from it, and you'll likely save money by not hiring specialists. Of course, you need to be careful - safety comes first, and you don't want to pay more to fix something you break. There are tons of resources, articles, and videos on this topic online, as well as books and TV shows.

Board games


Dwight David Eisenhower loved to play bridge with his colleagues until the early hours of the morning. Winston Churchill loved to play mahjong and gin rummy with his family before dinner. Many of the Founding Fathers, including Franklin, Jefferson, and Madison, loved chess. US presidents, from Roosevelt to Truman, played poker with advisers. Abraham Lincoln played backgammon with his sons.

Almost every great historical figure had a favorite board game - as well as almost every ordinary man whose names have been lost to the centuries. Join them and discover the many benefits that come from playing board games with your friends and families.

Volunteering


Even men who don't consider themselves self-interested can be greedy with their time. But if in the short term the reluctance to share your time and resources seems to be the path to happiness, then in the long term this selfishness destroys the soul. Some kind of service should be a part of every man's life - by throwing ourselves into helping others, we often find that our lives have improved too.

Instead of devoting all your time to your goals, why not help others through volunteering. By helping another, you can find your purpose, look at your problems differently, overcome prejudices, etc. And while men certainly need some time to be alone, spending time helping others is also a great way to recover.

Photo


If you've always wanted to draw, but weren't good at it, try photography. Digital cameras and editing software are becoming cheaper, and photography is becoming a more popular and accessible hobby. Its advantage is that it can be combined with other activities. Do you like walks? Take a photo of nature. Do you like going to restaurants? Take pictures of them all. There is an active photography community online, and many enthusiasts of the hobby run free websites that teach photography.

Surfing


This hobby can only be enjoyed by a certain portion of the population living on the shores - but these people often build their entire lives around this activity. Walking on the sea on a boat is wonderful, but it is very different from the experience of being directly on the water with a surfboard. You feel every wave, the adrenaline, and suffer defeat when you lose your board. You are competing with yourself and Mother Nature herself. Few activities will connect you with nature as much as riding the waves. Where this hobby is widespread, it is impossible to miss specialized stores. Visit one, tell them you want to start surfing, and prepare to look stupid the first few times you try.

Billiards


Every time I watch the movie The Billiard Player, I'm tempted to go into a smoke-filled billiard room and become a cue master. Billiards combines strategy, geometry, and psychology. It's also a great way to spend time with friends. If you can't convince your wife that a game room wouldn't be complete without a pool table, head to the nearest pool hall or bowling alley. You won't have to pay very much to play - of course, unless you are beaten by a professional.

Mountaineering

If you love hiking, hiking, and are looking for new adventures, then turn to mountaineering. Why do climbers climb mountains? Because mountains exist! Few things are as satisfying as getting to the top after a tiring climb, enjoying the mesmerizing view and the fact that you have just conquered the mountain. We recommend a good one with tips on mountaineering.

Walking on a tightrope


This hobby began in the 70s on a college campus, when a group of climbing friends strung a rope between two trees and began challenging each other to not only walk along it, but also perform some acrobatic stunts. Since then, it has become not only a popular way for students to spend time, but also one of the team building activities. In today's variation of this hobby, the rope is stretched between trees at a height of 30-50 cm above the ground. Usually people just try to walk along its entire length and not fall, and not even show off any tricks. It requires not only good physical fitness and practice, but also mental focus and stamina. It's also a great way to be in nature without the distractions of electronic devices, and of course, it can be done by any number of people, making tightrope walking a great social activity. After learning how to walk on a tightrope, you can try to learn various tricks. Getting started is quite simple - find a rope, a couple of trees and go!

Cooking

We never tire of repeating: every man should be able to cook. There are thousands of benefits to this skill: it makes you independent, it saves you money from buying ready-made food, it impresses girls, it helps you stay healthy (have you seen the ingredients in fast food?), and it’s just fun. You have to eat every day, so you can learn and enjoy it. In addition, it is an inexpensive and accessible hobby. You can move on to more exotic tools and foods later on, but since you can find basic ingredients and tools in the kitchen, skip the prepared foods.

Piloting


Many of the most courageous men in history have conquered the skies - Charles Lindbergh, Chuck Yeager, Wiley Post. You may not break records, but you can still soar like an eagle. Of course, the biggest obstacle to this hobby will be its cost. It is expensive. Flight lessons will cost several thousand dollars, and a license will cost several hundred. And you will also need a plane. Some people combine their love of flying with their love of mechanics by designing their own airplanes. But still, you will need a place to store it, for which you will have to pay rent monthly. But despite the high cost of the hobby, many amateur pilots I know tell me that it is definitely worth it - the feeling of complete freedom in the air.

Tricks

Every man should learn a couple of tricks to amaze his friends, amaze the girls and entertain the kids. Few hobbies are as fun to pursue as practicing magic tricks. And after people ask you to reveal the secret of the trick, you will walk around with a smile on your face for a long time. Practicing performing a trick over and over again, so that everything goes absolutely smoothly, is a job that doesn’t feel like work. And every man knows that the only fun way to shop is at a magic shop. Magic tricks are an inexpensive hobby; you will need a good book and a deck of cards. And then you can gradually increase the complexity of the tricks until you saw your mother-in-law in half in the living room.

Language learning


Few hobbies can be so clearly classified as useful activities as learning foreign languages. How often have you wanted to be able to communicate with a waiter, a student, a parent, a victim - and don’t beg for it. And how often would you like to speak the local language while traveling? Learning a language can be challenging, but if you think about it, being able to speak different languages ​​is pretty cool. You can find courses in educational institutions or try self-study methods such as Rosetta Stone. The key is constant practice, or you will never improve your skills or retain what you have learned. Watching films, television and listening to songs in the target language also helps.

Blogging

Paintball


Remember how, as a child, you played war games with your friends, using imaginary grenades, bazookas and bullets? Now that you're a big boy, you can still play war - but this time you can feel the impact of a paintball flying at 150 km/h. Trust me, it greatly enhances the emotional response. Paintball is not too expensive to play - renting a gun, CO 2 cartridge, mask and balls for the whole day will cost you about $30. And if you get carried away, you can purchase your own equipment and pay only for using the sites.

Fencing


An guard! What do the three musketeers, Zorro and Luke Skywalker have in common? Incredible swordsmanship, of course! This sport has existed since the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and is a truly masculine activity. Take part in the tradition taught to the knights and lords of old, in the last true duels. Develop a sense of balance, coordination, flexibility and concentration while learning the ancient art of fending off opponents. There are three types of weapons used in fencing: rapier, saber and epee. They have different weights and different rules of use. Do a little research on fencing and take a look video from the fight to understand what it is. This is different from the long movie fights with clashing swords. A big part of fencing is jumping, looking for vulnerable spots and opportunities to hit your opponent.

Brewing

Saturday morning. A match featuring your favorite team will be shown on TV, and you have invited your friends to watch. What drinks will you treat them to? You can, of course, go to the store and pick up a pack of Miller High Life - but wouldn’t it be cooler and somehow more courageous to offer them beer of your own making? This is possible if you start brewing beer as a hobby. It's fairly easy and inexpensive to get started. The Simple Dollar website has excellent step-by-step instructions with photos and all the costs. Once you're more familiar with the brewing process, you can start experimenting with flavors and giving away your limited-edition brew as gifts.

Drawing


Winston Churchill was an avid artist. He could sit for hours in the garden or in his home studio, painting and smoking a cigar. This is how he dealt with depression. He understood the life-giving effect creativity has on a man. Many men do not take up drawing because they believe that they do not have an innate talent for it. This may be true, but courses and practice can improve your abilities. Drawing is the most accessible form of art. A few pencils and a sketchbook will keep you busy for a long time. For painting you need a little more equipment and funds, depending on its type. Watercolors are cheaper (and easier to clean up) than oil paints. Most hobby and art stores offer painting classes. If that's not enough for you, you can always watch video tutorials from the white man with the greatest afro hairstyle in history, Bob Ross, on his show The Joy of Painting.

Amateur astronomy

Space, the last frontier. You probably won't be able to go to space, but you can still be amazed by its enormity even if you're in your backyard. You'll be surprised how many different things you can see in space with a small telescope or powerful binoculars. If you want to peer into deep space, you'll need a powerful telescope, which will cost you around $1,000. But this may be followed by a long-awaited result when you discover something in your yard that even NASA experts missed. Amateur astronomers have made several major discoveries. Doing astronomy doesn't just mean looking through a telescope. This means learning as much as you can about the amazing Universe from books, shows, lectures and articles on GeekTimes. You can start even before purchasing a telescope by memorizing the constellations and the stories associated with them.

Genealogy

Genealogy is a funny thing. This hobby seems terribly boring from an observer's point of view. But once you become passionate about it, it can completely capture you and become something you truly love. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but how do you know what kind of apple you are if you don't know where you fell from? Every man should know and understand his roots. You will understand more about why you are the way you are, and why your parents are the way they are, and their parents, etc. You will learn to appreciate the people who made you happen. As you begin to build your family tree, you will be surprised at the length of the lines leading to you. You are not just an individual - you have a long family tree, and your ancestors are, in a sense, part of you. Start building a tree by talking with relatives who may have already done this, and you can also use specialized sites available on the Internet.

Knitting

Knitting? Knitting?! What your grandmother adores and what made your great aunt make you a scarf for Christmas? Yes, knitting. This is not such a womanish activity as men imagine it to be. Men invented knitting, and it's time to reclaim its place in its history. The first professional knitters were men, who worked in Europe in the 16th century. And, of course, sailors tied knots. They knitted fishing nets and sweaters to keep warm. Today, knitting is making a comeback as a men's activity. This is both useful and relaxing. A friend of mine learned to knit while serving in Bolivia and was the only man in the law school knitting club. And his masculinity is undeniable. about knitting and men.

Programming


What the ham radio hobby was in the 1950s is programming today. Many men have made this their profession, but there are also millions of those who do something else at work and program for fun in their free time. There are people making stupid online games, useful open source apps, and cool web projects. There are many programming languages ​​you can learn. I personally love web programming, and the lessons at W3Schools will allow you to learn both related languages ​​and technologies like SQL and CSS for free.

Steeplechase and multi-races


Steeplechase grew out of training courses for the military, and is an ideal sport for runners who are bored with running 5-10 km. Running for kilometers, climbing walls, crawling under barbed wire will strengthen your strength, cardiovascular system and agility, and test your physical and mental resilience.

Another type of load is adventure, or multi-race. They last all day and include a variety of activities. You may have to run 15 km, then row for 15 km, and then mountain bike through the forest for 30 km. Along the way, you need to stop at checkpoints that can only be found with the help of a map and compass. Physical activity, nature, orienteering are very masculine activities.

Fishing


Maybe killing a deer or a bear is not your thing. But you can still get all the benefits of foraging for your own food and connecting with nature by going fishing. Fishing is a classic hobby for men. A great way for buddies to become stronger friends, and for fathers and sons to spend time together. The cost of a hobby for a beginner is not too high. A decent rod and reel will cost you $50, and bait and bait will cost you a few dollars. Some areas require a permit to fish, so check the regulations before you go fishing. In addition, I recommend immediately learning how to unhook from a hook.
