Honestly this not true, there are "acceptable" hobbies. Building things or fishing, sports, working out or hunting (in some circles) are things that girls can brag about to their friends.
A lot depends on whether she respects him for being hawt. If she sees him as an alpha the hobbies aren't a problem. It becomes a problem if she put him in the beta provider category, because at that point the hobbies become an impediment to her extracting the maximum amount of value from him before throwing him out like yesterday's garbage.
Masculine trait, masculine, masculine, masculine and masculine. It all forms part of intrasexual competition which improves her exposure to others, boosts her respect from others and provides something for her.
But he still has to make her the centre of her world. This is why you can get complaints about fishing when it's done all day to escape from the situation at home and get some peace.
Generally speaking, once you get married women will do one of two things to your hobbies: 1. Invade them or 2. Destroy them. The goal is to have 100% ownership of your fun (which lets her charge any price she wants for it). It does not matter what those hobbies are. She does not care.
That's why you need to set the boundaries early. Say your game/bowling/fishing/poker time is MAN TIME ONLY. She is not allowed, you won't stop for her, and that is that. Never give a single inch.
There is no time spent doing things other than paying attention to her that a woman will not be jealous of. The only solution is to tell them tough shit and you don't care.
This is why I always tell my wife no when my idiot friends try to invite her to D&D night. She's my wife and I love her, but D&D is sacred and she does not belong there.
Yeah but no man starts a hobby so that his chick can brag to their female friends
As a married guy, I can confirm this to be true. In fact is so acceptable that the same saying is in multiple cultures: "Happy wife, happy life"
I don't why men are willing to live like that. I refuse to arrange my life around appeasing an overgrown child who wouldn't know adversity if it bit her on her over pampered ass.
Pussy is the most powerful force known to mankind. That’s all there is to it.
I think I heard it on a hoe_math video (don't quote me on that) that women like to live life as if they are the starring actress in the movie that is their life. The husband/boyfriend is the main man who makes that happen. It may also be fuelling the concept that men should do everything and the frustration recently at younger men who are not earning as much as younger women.
The problem with video games is that the main character is the main focus of the man at that time. Escapism means escaping from your duties. And that's probably why the right has an issue with it.
Ugh. Reminds me of how some women in my family were legitimately mad at the ex-husband of someone I know for committing suicide. Focusing almost entirely on how it "hurt" his ex-wife.
Not that I know much about their marriage, or the guy in question, but I was kind of pissed at their "woman most affected" kind of shit-take, especially given how a lot of these stories sometimes end up with the guy killing the woman and then himself.
That such a thing didn't happen in this instance indicates to me that the guy was not in a good place, but at least had the moral fortitude or sense to not take someone else out along with him.
