But I'm pretty sure you're in the minority.. :sneaky: I think most women are scared of guns and spend most of their free time reading or watching HGTV or the Food channel.
I'm fairly sure zero is trolling us now. Nobody can be THAT oblivious.

But zero, if that is truly what you think of women, you really need to get out here to west Tennessee and meet some real women. From what you describe, the women where you live are downright lazy and have no imagination at all.

That could be true. Or he might not like girls because all the girls in that area are vapid and lazy.

Ok then, what hobbies do most single women do in their free time besides reading, gardening, knitting, scrapbooking, shopping, etc.??

Remember, I was talking about most single women's hobbies, not all women, and not all women's hobbies.

My point was that their hobbies are not as obsessive as something like restoring a car where it can literally take over your life and make you completely forget about wanting a mate.

Nope. What do you think most women do in their free time then?
This one reads, play complex board games, watches far too many episodes of old TV shows that are now included with amazon prime (finished all of start trek TNG, now I'm watching the old Macgyver series, and there are a few other sci fi / adventure type things on the playlist too, but no food network or hgTV). I also like going hiking, seeing all the animals at the nature center (I like the snakes and owls, but just kind of don't look at the tarantula cage) and if the weather co-operates I'll probably go to the beach some too. Oh and I have season tickets to one of the regional musical theatres (the cheapish one). I'm not entirely sure if I just confirmed or busted those preconceptions, but it isn't quite as narrowly generalized as you make it sound.

Well hobbies are hobbies regardless. It’s what a person enjoys doing. One spends time, effort, and usually money in them. Heck! Hobbies can even be challenging. :)

Ok so I should have said most women in their free time watch netflix, redbox, hulu, etc... instead of hgtv and food network. I knew of a few of women who were obsessed with hgtv and food network, but I forgot that that was like 15 years ago...

When you say “most” single women’s hobbies, you’re talking about “majority”. Where do you get that information? Or is it an assumption? I think you shouldn’t assume that “most” single women do those things that you listed because that’s not the case, hence my “wow” comment lol.

All women (like men), are different and have different tastes and interests in things and I can only speak for myself.

I’m definitely not scared of guns, and I definitely don’t spend all my time watching food channel (but I do enjoy watching it) and I don’t even know what HGTV is. Reading, well the only reading I do is reading the Bible, or reading school books with my 5 year old neice. My hobbies can range from playing/listening to music, spending time with my dogs or my neices/nephs, going for random drives, to catching up with friends, minstering, taking pictures of nature, landscapes etc and Netflixing it lol.

Restoring a car wouldn’t be a hobby for me but I have spent time with my Pops on knowing the basic mechanics of a car - especially knowing how to change a tyre (he taught me this so if my car broke down, I wouldn’t have to signal someone for help, instead I’d know what to do). I like cars, but that doesn’t mean it would become a hobby for me, I know other females who take this to the next level and are car enthusiasts, complete with modifications to their cars & are involved in car clubs.

So basically, single women are different in what interests them and it’s kind of unfair for you to assume that most single women do the things that you listed in your other post, maybe the single women that you know do those things but I wouldn’t say “most”. We all live in different parts of the world & I haven’t mentioned what the single women I know of in the South Island here do, hint: farming.

I know many women whose hobbies have taken over their lives. Why do you think I'm still single? :p

You have got to come over here to West Tennessee. You can find plenty of women here who are so absorbed in their lives that they will ignore you. Most of the girls out here actually have lives.

But I said I am not talking about ALL women. I know women have an endless variety of hobbies. My point was how it might be easier for men to be single because men's hobbies can be more obsessive, can take over their lives, they spend every waking moment thinking about them. That was what i was saying..... that most women's hobbies are not that obsessive. I never claimed to be stating what all women's hobbies are.

I know that, but you said “most single women”.... meaning “majority”. That’s why I asked if it was based on your assumption of what “most single women” are into.

You even mentioned that “most” women are scared of guns..... that might be the case where you live, but certainly not here - I think also taking into consideration that we aren’t as exposed to guns/weapons as the US is.

I always thought u were in the US. :eek: Where are u from?

Anyway, the women I've known here do not like guns. Even my relative who owns a ranch. I guess I should have said 'don't like' instead of 'are scared of'.

Maybe you’re single cos you need to find a woman who will devote time to you.

After all these months, surely you’d know I’m not from “the land of opportunities” (is that how it’s said?).

LOL you made me laugh 😂

No one has mentioned music...that's the most all-consuming hobby I know and it is common in both genders.

I don't listen to music unless I'm singing or playing my drums... which is maybe once a week... But I did listen to a lot of music when I was younger and played in bands and stuff... :sneaky:
