But since the time to have those hobbies and common interests is usually when you are young and still developing your own ideas of what hobbies and interests you want to follow, it follows that a lot of the initial mate seeking will fail as the interests and shared hobbies will fade or be replaced over time. I.E. drinking in bars, or dancing, or rebuilding old cars and cruising the strip, or XYZ. D&D and video games got a bad rap as hobbies because there is such a disparity of men to women in the hobbies and so little opportunity to machismo without being to much of a jerk and not enough to back it up (machismo with back up is attractive to some females to some extent). <br />But hobbies that fall on the border line between gender roles or near related hobbies across the border line are a good place to meet a mate - IF you both choose to continue to follow the hobby.<br />My spouse likes home made meals from good but affordable ingredients and storing those meals for later. I like storing good ingredients for foods- We both enjoy the accomplishments on good canning sessions. <br />We both like libertarian philosophy and politics, I like the current events, spouse likes applying fundamental principles to daily life. Etc.<br /> JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-22052150015720631502016-06-16T14:09:59.926-07:002016-06-16T14:09:59.926-07:00Damn human interaction.

In my 10 years of youthful "bar shopping" I never seen anything that was worth more than an hour or 2 in the sheets.<br /><br />It's when you AIN'T shopping is when you find the mate for life.<br /><br />Know where I found mine?<br />I was sitting on my front porch rebuilding a 4 barrel carburetor off a 1970 Camaro and taking breaks now and then to step out in my Florida front yard and play a little solo frisbee. I was 28 and always single as all get out. And there she was, 2 doors down, sitting in a chaise lounge in her backyard, all radiant and inviting. Now, 33 years later, she'll again be sitting in her chaise lounge in the backyard this afternoon. <br /><br />In our youthful exuberance we search so hard we never find what we're looking for, only temporary distractions. It's when you stop looking at the forest that you see the trees. And you never learn this little lesson until after you no longer need it. sigh ghostsniperhttp://www.deadcenter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-7541716917527485342016-06-16T08:11:50.801-07:002016-06-16T08:11:50.801-07:00PS - Choirs is for songs and angels Chores is for ...PS - Choirs is for songs and angels Chores is for dirty hands. <br />Books only last you so long. Human interaction (aka games or gossip) is required and so is novel stimulus.<br />JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-43294449661546292162016-06-15T15:11:14.256-07:002016-06-15T15:11:14.256-07:00One of the few good applications for digital books...One of the few good applications for digital books.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-69613659370036288522016-06-15T14:53:40.612-07:002016-06-15T14:53:40.612-07:00In a worst-case-scenario, where shit is so bad tha...In a worst-case-scenario, where shit is so bad that you need to hunker-down in a hidy-hole for 3 months, it will be a good selection of books that will keep everyone sane. 500 per person is not too many.
