I Need Hobby That Doesn't Involve Computers Or Wanking...

[EddyTheDog]

I tried macro photography - It turns out I don't have an artistic bone in my body...

So art is out - It needs to get me outside - I can't drive so it needs to be done locally - Gardening is out - I can kill plants with a look.....

I can cook - That's a start...

[j3rkules]

Cooking is a really cool hobby, I love it.

[Ferus]

Try Cliff Jumping. That will get you the attention you so desperately seek. If you are Lucky you can break a arm/leg and start begging for sympathy here on GFY, since all your other friends are imaginary

Such a cute puppy...

Try walking while listening to Audio Books and have a tracker to count your steps. Try to do at least a few more steps each day than the last and you'll be fitter and more well read

Barbecuing.

[Black All Through]

Gardening, thats if your back will allow it.

[adultchatpay]

Try collecting something of your interest.

This is actually very good!
Of course, you will have to take a dump after you're done with the walking...

Or while you are walking... Why stop? The benefit is that if you get lost, you have left a trail that you can easily follow home.

[LetterTwenty7]

How about... some kind of sport... archery is fun. You can also miss and say, 'Oh sorry, I'm new at this.'

Damn, it is not easy to find something good. I am trying to google something for myself, since I really like the idea of walking while listening to audio books, and I also want to spend more time away from the pc.

I don't know, maybe yoga/meditation (tried it, not bad), fishing (went once, got drunk, but not bad), selling stuff at the market just for fun (never tried it, but could be fun), dancing (...), camping with friends more often (definitely!)... Good luck, let us know about your new hobby.

Housecleaning then you can advance to OCD

[ruff]

Get yourself a single speed bicycle. Not only can you ride it for exercise, you can also work on it without have a degree in mechanical engineering. It is also a good way to meet chicks.

[pornguy]

Only issue with cooking is the eating part. If your not careful you end up eating it all and gaining a ton of weight.

My main hobby is reading. I need to get back to the gym but have a project that takes the majority of my time right now so that has to wait for about 2 more months.

Other than that im more of less hobby less as well.

[wehateporn]

Your cooking skills will allow you to open a burger van on the road outside your house

[freecartoonporn]

get a keyboard , i have mine i try tunes from youtube once in while.
and get a bicycle, it helps a lot, i have cross trainer but i still want a bicycle .....

[Acepimp]

Rent a kayak and paddle around on some water. It's a good time. Bring some herb ;)

[Rob]

Try sculpting with clay. The materials are really cheap (50lb bag of WED clay for like $20, or a 1lb block of Sculpey for $10), and you don't really need a creative bone in your body. You can build whatever you want, then destroy it, or bake it and keep it. It's like Legos for adults that doesn't hurt when you step on. And who knows, you may get good at it and invest some money in bronze casting...turn your hobby into a lucrative career.

I can see him at the burger stall, chatting with the people folk. He can make sandwiches and lasagna so his repertoire is quite broad.

But if he takes a fancy to one of the customers he might make pass the odd innuendo about the size of his sausages.

[LeRoy]

Try growing succulents.. hard to kill those. Many types so it's not as boring

[EddyTheDog]

Some awesome ideas - Thanks - I can see myself at one of those cool markets selling my famous lasagne - It wont make me rich but sounds like fun...

[Choopa Phil]

Working out and cooking healthy. No better investment than that!

Just don't burn them.

Only on GFY would nobody mention the obsessive wanking...

[MakeMeGrrrrowl]

Get chickens! They are great fun. And you can cook the eggs! =)

[L-Pink]

Try filling a quart jar with boogers.

Well hell, I'm stumped then.

[Joshua G]

flying drones is an emerging hobby. Lots of fun to be had spying on...

[Rochard]

I have lots of hobbies.

For reasons I don't understand, a few years ago I decided to buy an old truck and fix it up. It's twenty-five years old, 175k miles on it, looks great, runs great, and most of it was fixed by myself. I am not very mechanical, so most things were a challenge for me. I wouldn't have been able to do it without YouTube videos.

I also got into biking two years ago. This has the added benefit of helping me to loose weight, which is great.

Probably because there is no such thing as obsessive wanking.

[hottoddy]

I also recommend gardening. You can start small and grow in containers or raised beds.
I gravitated toward growing mostly hot chili peppers, but also grow other food staples. That led to making hot sauce, dry powders, cooking and canning fresh foods for the family, creating hybrids, selling seeds. You could also grow barley and hops to make beer - or pot (if legal) - lots of interesting avenues to pursue. I grow both inside and out. That led to studying hydro, hoop houses, soil, compost, etc. It's turning into a fun side business that keeps me occupied year round.

[AntonMG]

Buy a workbench and start building stuff.
Whatever stuff you can come up with.

[dyna mo]

Dunno where you live, but what about bike riding or hiking? Bad time of the year now, but in summer time probably 50% of my time I'm either hiking or riding a mtn bike.

Harleys are like buying an apple iPhone.. You pay too much for a brand name and get a wannabe bike..

But as long as you have your fake leather chaps and half vest it's all good..because you can hang with the 1% like vendy.

heads-up, i still haven't voted yet.

yeah we should all wear hemp hats and drive around in a mystery machine like you shaggy...

who pays too much for a harley? can grab an old one for 5 grand and will last 80 years if you aren't completely inept with mechanics.

[Sly]

With your skill set and emotional attachments, one of these hobbies would be good for you and good for others.

1) Volunteer at a hospital as a companion or helping out.

2) Volunteer at an animal shelter, lots of dogs need a good walking. Might help you pick up a few guys, too!

Trust me, I've seen "real" bikes built before. That guy from Choppers inc had his shop two units over from my warehouse back before he got all Discovery Channel famous then lost it all when he killed a guy while driving drunk..

One of my best friends was a test rider for the now defunct Quantium cycles until a van pulled out in front of him and now he can't see well enough to have a license.

Not to mention I lived in Daytona beach a few blocks from Main St and saw more custom built bikes in that 4 years than I care to remember..

Trust me.. Harley's are store bought wanna be bikes for people who want to dress up and play biker on the weekends. I don't however hang out with the 1%ers like Vendy and baddoggie so you can pretend I don't know what I'm saying if it makes you happy.

[VikingMan]

Get out in the countryside and volunteer on a farm. You could milk cows or goats and I bet they would even let you milk a few by hand so it would be a replacement for that wanking hand action.

[ITraffic]

hang around and offer help to gents in public washrooms.

[BoomBoomBenoit]

Shotgunning

Seriously, it's kick ass. You don't need to hunt, you can play trap or skeet. They are fast paced games so you're not just waiting around for a target. You can spend as much or as little as you like, add fancy attachments for your gun or you can just keep it simple. Your biggest expense after getting a gun and a club membership (if you choose that route) is ammo. On the high end, that's $15 for a box of 25 shells.

I've really found it a fun and rewarding hobby without all the shitty cleanup. Cooking, you gotta clean the kitchen. Gardening, you gotta weed (and not the fun smoking kind), hiking, biking, kayaking - that stuff is fun at first and then it's like fucking work.

Go blow some plates up - amazing stress reliever, no messy clean up (like wanking) and no one judges how good or bad you are - you are carrying a gun after all

Here's my Benelli Nova 12 gauge pump shotgun:


Word of warning, buying guns can be addictive!

Unless I'm mistaken EddyTheDog lives in Europe, which makes this hobby kind of complicated to get into.

I thought Europe was very active in sport shooting: ESC - Home I'm talking about sport shooting at well managed and licenced ranges (not the back 50)

I definitely could be wrong! So EddyTheDog please let me know if this is restrictive for you! It'd be too bad if it was cause it's a lotta fun.
