[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sooooo, based on this thread, men aren't allowed to have any hobbies, because they're all turnoffs. But in another thread women will complain, "WhY iS Dh So BorInG!!??".  Lol. [/quote]

I’m a woman and I have hobbies, but I am flexible and my hobbies don’t take time or resources away from my family. When I am training for a race, I will run at 5am instead of 6:30am if I need to in order to make it to my child’s soccer game. My husband likes backpacking and camping. He goes away 3-4 weekends a year and I know the dates and plan ahead.

It’s not about what the hobbies are, it’s that some men won’t dial back the hours they spend on their hobbies or shift their schedule once they become homeowners and parents. It’s all about balance. It’s good for men to have friends and maintain relationships. It’s also not ok for them to always put those commitments ahead of the needs of their family. [/quote]

This. It's the entitlement to tons of hobby time, and entitlement to the family calendar revolving around the hobby. Any hobby is unacceptable if that's how you are about it. And I say that as a person with niche hobbies that I am obsessed with. [/quote]
