  I do photography, archery and 3d printing.

  Photography seems to only invite critique, archery tends to be a short subkect of conversation but 3d printing usually leads to the most questions and takes up a larger part of the conversation.

  When i played bass, no one really showed any interest other than one friends who caught me playing a small part of something i was figuring out how to follow it up and wanted to sample it. Which eventually led to nothing.

  I designed a silencer for airsoft in fusion360 and already sold 10, a friend asked me to print a spitfire and i eventually summoned up the idea to make some spitfire exhausts he could mount on his spitfire themed mini cooper, my archery club has these plastic stars that tend to be used on the carnival for air guns so i designed some custom ones with their logo “just because”. I also printed some trophy’s which i still have to give out.

  Once you get a reliable 3d printer and learn the software well enough, it is an amazing hobby.

  The wife paints miniatures (think warhammer for example) and she needs plinths for her competition models. So i shit out a custom plinth within an hour including print time. It’s so awesome and after 5 years i’m still amazed when i get to hold something that was nothing more than a digital design a mere hour before, i have a mini factory inside my house that only produces what i tell it to…it’s absolutely insane.

  Essentially just be a renaissance man. It’s much easier to do when you’re younger. I could’ve ticked off over half the list 10 years ago, but now it’s just reading, cooking and writing. I don’t have the time or energy for much outside of work these days.

  I’m surprised that “being rich” and “being good looking” aren’t on the list.

  Then again, I suppose technically those aren’t hobbies.

  • sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Not really technically. One is a physical attribute, and the other is a measure of wealth. Those aren’t even remotely close to being hobbies. You just brought them up because you think women are shallow, which is probably the real reason they don’t like you.

  3D printing is not, but astronomy is? Is that even a hobby?

  source

  • Tin@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Astronomy is one of those things that people think they like until they find out it’s mostly math and chemistry, and looking at cool pictures of space is not directly involved.

    source: astronomy minor. I liked it but being able to discuss the various types of variable starts and plot them in a Hertzsprung–Russell diagram is not going to win me any dates.

    source

    • KomfortablesKissen@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah, I want to act like that is what I meant, but I was confusing astronomy with astrology and was talking out my ass.

      Astronomy is pretty cool, even if it’s complicated. Maybe I can say that because I’m still at the “looking at cool pictures” phase. I had to google what an HRD even is, and I still don’t fully get it, but I get that it categorizes stars into their size and heat.

      It might not be an ice breaker at the first date, but when the relationship is more established this can be a pretty good topic.

  • I’m a capable home cook.
  • I’ve built stuff. Assembling IKEA furniture counts, right?
  • My mum still keeps most of my paintings.
  • If you can read this, you know that I can write.
  • I can cut down vegetation.
  • I can even dive.
  • Yes, I open the camera app daily.
  • There’s an app for that as well.
  • I’m wearing my backpack already.
  • Five of the seven continents (as many of us understand them culturally), so far.

  Which is why I have an orgy every night.

  Any women here who can give insight on why woodworking is attractive? I thought my hands would be too grimy with sharpening grit, everything covered in chips and shavings and my hands covered in scars for it to be considered attractive.

  Also do you find power tools or hand tools more attractive?

    Good furniture is expensive af. Imagine if someone gives you a good quality chair, instant crush.

      If someone gives you a heavy bookcase wrong, also instant crush.

    • weeeeum@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Especially cause chairs are fucking hard (for the good ones). Lots of specialtly equipment to make it. A steam box, a kiln, bending jigs, all sorts of cushioning, fabric, springs, twine, burlap, its mind-blowing. I saw a master upholsterer give a demonstration and the depth of the craft of just constructing the cushion is jaw dropping.

    Well, firstly, there’s the artistry of it. Creativity can be very sexy; it’s a kind of intelligence, after all. Hence writing, cooking, painting, ect. also being on the list. Not to mention, wood is a beautiful medium overall… and it smells nice when freshley cut.

    Secondly, it’s attractive to be good with your hands. Not just because of the obvious, but because it’s genuinely admirable. It’s a show of competence (or at least one kind of competence) and requires one to be hard-working, dedicated, and persevering. All pretty universally attractive traits.

    A carpenter’s hands may be rough and scarred, but they’re rough and scarred because they’ve literally crafted furniture/boats/houses/whatever. That in itself is pretty attractive to me.

    Also do you find power tools or hand tools more attractive?

    Personally, hand tools, because they require one to use more of their own power, if that makes sense. Plus, power tools are a little too dangerous for me to see them in a sexy context lol. Frankly, the tools themselves don’t really do much for me.

    • weeeeum@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’m glad people love the scent of wood. Working with green oak blew me away. It smells sweet! It kind of smells like vanilla and cinnamon. Theres actually a guy who made oak flavored ice cream by toasting oak scraps and soaking them in the cream he intended to use.

      Also good to know i shouldn’t be self conscious of all the scars and stuff. Thought it’d make me look like an idiot haha.

  I really want to understand what’s the big deal about foreign languages. If both speak the same second language, then maybe having a few conversations in it might be fun, but if you don’t what is exciting about someone that can say things you don’t understand?

  • grrgyle@slrpnk.net ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s “exotic.”

    It’s also an entirely other cultural layer to a person. I’ve noticed people looked at me differently if they heard me speaking to my family. Like they just found out I have a secret identity.

    Some people have a bias for novelty, or experiences outside of what they’re used to. I think it’s nice.
