re: What are good hobbies for mid-20s to mid-30s men to pick up?

I'm enjoying the grind of being as disciplined as I possibly can and learning about myself in the process.

i'm trying to get back to this. without an outlet/goal-making endeavor, it's difficult

hence why i got up at 4am on a sunday morning to go play poker to get in a session before the gf really wakes up

she thinks it's psycho/ sketchy so i may need to divert the focus into something else

Grow a vegetable garden.

Even better would be a wildflower garden to attract bees and butterflies.

Requires creativity, the ability to think spatially, discipline, and months of delayed gratification.

tried that last year. kind of failed but the main issue was starting late. i bought some pepper seeds yesterday

What that mean? Sounds awful I will stick to moderation and enjoying food

I'm skinny and it's hard for me to gain weight so my "eating flawlessly" consists of quite a bit of enjoying food.

I went through a phase like this in my mid 20's where I worked out every day and ate "right" and it became an anchor. You're miserable if you step out of line. It's awful

Shop skills

Furniture building

Birding is a fun hobby as well.

This is what it boils down to for me.

I need goals to even come close to accomplishing anything or staying with a hobby. If I can't constantly measure myself, I lose motivation.


I don't mind that you wake up at 4 to sneak in some poker. But I can see why it might bother a female

Needs to engage the mind, likely allow for solo-meditation time while practicing, have a bit of competition to it, and hopefully may be able to translate into a positive economic outlet

Try triathlon. Lots of time to think while swimming or sitting on the bike trainer. Physically demanding to keep you in shape. There's the obvious competition part, but it's at multiple levels....personal, age group, local races, different distances ,etc.. You will get mentally tougher, especially if you venture into half and full ironman territory. And even though its 99% by myself, it's crazy the amount of successful people you network with. It's a hobby for driven people.
