    Default What do you do as a hobby?

    Lately when I've been asked at work what I like to do in my spare time, I just come up with a lie. The truth would be that all I do now is watch movies, listen to music, and that's it! It's got me feeling not good about myself for not having more on my plate that's fun or unique. What hobbies do you ladies personally do or say that you do to customers?

    Oh, yes. The ever-present fantasy that there's this "proper lady" (by their standards) in us just waiting for Mr. Right to bring it out of us.

    Sometimes I ride horses. Sometimes I go and shoot guns. Sometimes I go to a concert (though I have to be careful - my hair is quite long and in braided pigtails right now, so if I start getting into it and thrashing around, these can become unintentionally weaponized), and sometimes I just want to get everyone else out of the house, and have time to myself to do whatever... watch movies, sleep a little extra, or even masturbate (because it's damn impossible to do that without being interrupted here). There's a small shelter I do some work with for teens and young adults who've been kicked out of their homes and have nowhere else to go, so there's my Hallmark moment, but don't fucking overrate me.

    And then, of course, with my whole upbringing being about conditioning me to be the perfect little Mennonite housewife and my inability to go all out with rebelling against it, I've been doing a bit of crochet, as well. Because I'm apparently a 70 year-old in a 28 year-old's body. But, on the bright side, everyone here has a cute scarf to wear when it gets cold out! I do a fair amount of baking, too, and let my sister and our youngest 'refugee' sell some of what we all bake, I think they have an Etsy page. My sister had the same upbringing I did, albeit without some of the chores I had to do, and I'm thankful for it, because she likes to pass it along to others. I expect anyone living here to know how to clean up after themselves and how to cook for themselves, and she's really been a lifesaver in showing the two 'refugees' the latter, because neither one of them had learned shit prior to living here.

    I'd say I'm a pretty well occupied person. If custies ask, I'm guilty of giving them the "Hallmark" answer, though.

    edit to add: No, I'm not crocheting any shark blankets.

    Default Re: What do you do as a hobby?

    I talk to ladies on industry online forums, such as here! Seriously, I spend way too much time doing that and don't know if I should classify it as a hobby or work.

    I work out, a lot, mostly running.

    I like to eat, a lot.

    I'm also pursuing acting, which I treat as another job but due to the near impossibility of success, I view it as a hobby. It really is, not a job but a hobby for the very privileged, considering that most actors come from good families who are at least middle-class. I'm trying to get into doing theater in the small market where I'm currently at. That's something I love, watching or participating in.

    I also like to write and have a blog, somewhere.

    Read, though most of what I read is now online and short.

    Lots of music, of all kinds, love music.

    You can say you like movies. Nothing wrong with that. I don't have the attention span to sit through an entire movie most of the time, unless I'm paying attention to the writing (which is super weird, I admit that).

    My biggest current hobbies include sitting on my ass while watching Food Network, trashy reality TV, or good movies with a glass of wine in one hand and a blunt in the other.

    Trying to broaden my horizons, though.

    I tried to be as unhinged and wild as my first two roommates were. And while I did find a more wild side of me, I realized I could never be like them, and that I actually did enjoy some of the things I was trying to distance myself from. So, I found a balance somewhere. Funnily enough, it was on account of another dancer losing her scarf that I started knitting and crocheting again.

    Just my opinion, there’s such a thing as too much spice. Find a balance that makes you happy, even if it means including the little dorky things which look mundane to others, but which you enjoy. Which is probably good that I came to that conclusion, because I watched Thelma & Louise, so who knows what might’ve happened next?

    That sounds cute, the pillow. Anything with Snoopy wins me over.

    The shark blanket was a reference to this post

    recently i've been saying i dogsit for Rover, even tho it isn't quite true yet (but hopefully will be soon. i'm still in the process of a creating a profile and figuring out how it works.) i agree with the whole "hallmark" cutesy stuff. anything involving children, animals, or exercise/being healthy is always good

    i tell customers that i frequent the bingo hall by my house, adult night at the roller rink, bowling alleys and arcades which are all true. sometimes i bring up camming and sometimes i don't. i think anything wholesome enough to be family friendly makes you seem very appealing only to certain men. gardening, crafty stuff, educational stuff (museums/books/classes).

    but idk though you have to feel out the customers first. with certain guys i get way more brownie points talking about how i've been to swingers clubs and orgies than i would going on about skee ball and puppies and the farmers market. depends on the guy

    Yes, and I also do entry level instruction. I ride English with Hunter/Jumpers as my focus discipline. I work mostly at the equestrian center for my vanilla job, but I actually work for the parent company he has all of his business ventures incorporated under, so my actual job title is Heavy Equipment Operator, and so I do that, transport horses, work with our mechanics. Not the most glorious line of work, but I like it.

    Coaching hunter jumpers is a pretty amazing vanilla job!! I miss the hunters often. It's a good side passion/income with dancing/adult work! Shows we can get down and dirty but pretty and fancy

    I don’t coach a specific discipline, I teach the basics of English saddle. Mostly to kids who’ve never been on a horse. Sometimes teenagers and adults doing something they’ve always wanted to do, but life got in the way up to that point. On a typical day, I spend most of it in a backhoe or front end loader, or else in the shop with the mechanics (mine is the pink toolbox). It lets me work at a place I love working at while still being paid well.

    I have apergers so discussing my hobbies with customers is not something I can do if I want to keep the conversation going. I usually say "writing, dancing, going out with friends" which are all things I do"rarely. But I don't want to say " looking up strains of bacteria that cause necrosis" which is usually about what I'm doing in my free time

    I have a lot of hobbies and I'm very open about them with my customers:
    Muay thai, pole dancing, cooking, teaching science to kids.
    Would you believe me if I said I do it because I like it?

    I have way too many hobbies so I have to keep it vague when chatting with customers ( some identify me or make me easy to find ).
    Travel is easy to discuss with customers.

    I loathheeeee this question. It's almost as if the guy is saying "Hi. Hello. I don't know how to talk to women." I'm a smartass so I usually ask the question right back or say "Woahhh that's a loaded question, no pressure or anything!" And if they keep pressing I say a lot of words or phrases in my explanation that define my independence as a young person with zero responsibilities (God I actually wish) like "free", "fun", "chill", "go with the flow", "travel", "spontaneous", "down for adventure"...anything that middle aged blue collar men envy that we have that they don't or maybe once had. The more you actually say "fun", the more fun people will think you are. That or I answer the question with "dancing for you."
