How come women don't have hobbies any more

I have a question for you,
if a women is going to take to doing these hobbies daily,
how is she going to get the money to pay for her living expenses?

Do you have an answer to that or are you just going to continue to ignore my posts?

Serious issue here not only for me,
but for many women who would just LOVE to spend every day doing hobbies and crafts.

An answer would be nice.

so you think of a hobby as a job that someone is making you do daily

i have tons of hobbies to many to really list i am not rich by any means

if i want a table or night stand i buy the lumber cheap and in my free time i make it it costs me less than to buy it
it gives me something to do in my spare time and the product lasts for 40 -50 years and is of a better quality than i could even afford to buy
i dont feel forced to do this it is a hobby i work a full time job have my whole life
i find it peaceful to create thing from my imagination it doesnt seem like work

You are not hearing me.

I love to do hobbies but I don't have the time because I have to work for a living.

You said FREE TIME and SPARE TIME.

Many women these days DO NOT HAVE SPARE TIME!

Most women that are able to take the time to do hobbies have a man behind them supporting them financially,
divorce money, family money or inheritance money, or other means above their own efforts
to allow them the time to be able to do hobbies.

Seriously if you don't understand me this time then I know you're trolling.

so when you knit something like how much wool would it take to make like a scarf or sweater
is it very costly at least you end up with a scarf

i have expensive hobbies like slot cars recently the price has doubled from 100 dollars a set to like 200 dollars

so im not buying anymore of them for a while do to cost but i didnt stop enjoying them instead i thought it would look cool with lights for nighttime

i went to the electronics store and bought some led bulbs for 4.99 and to the dollar store for some wood sticks for 3 dollars

and now my race car track has old fashion street light which cost me next to nothing

yes hobbies can be very time consuming
with sometime little actual progress or reward sometimes i will get fed up or angry and quit a hobby not come back to it for awhile or never

like with those street lights i made i bought the stuff for it half a year a go threw it in the corner and pretty much forgot about the whole thing then when i was cleaning i saw them and remembered what they were for had some spare time and put them together

took me like 4-5 hours not really cost effective probably could have bought complete one for cheaper if i included the time it took but whats the fun in that

streetlights ?.........?

how come women don't have any hobbies any more

i grew up in the 70's /80's during that time women would
-knit
-sew
-create clothing
-have quilting bees and make quilts
-macrame
-needle point
-make flower arraignments out of dead dry flowers
-art work scrap books
and many other things

men seem to still have most of theirs and are active in some kinda hobbies
but it seems that most of if not all of womens hobbies have disappeared

what are you girls up to now ?

maybe its just the area i live in or something i never really paid much attention but when i look around now it seems no women are doing any of these things any more

when i was younger they seemed to enjoy doing such things
gave them something to do a reason to go out for the day and visit with friends

how come men seem to still be doing all their hobbies ?

My wife likes to refinish furniture....we spend time together rummaging, looking in the salvation army, and flea markets for pieces to refinish....then we spend time together in our workshop where I do metal crafting and she refinishes furniture...sometimes we work on the same piece....I make the metal hardware for the piece she is refinishing....

Not a bad way to spend time together....recently she finished a gemology course and got interested in jewelry making....It works out cuz I already have most of the equipment and skillz for casting, machining, and metal forming...more time we can spend together....

Most can't get their face out of their phone. The rest are on GLP.

Nice , do you sell the refinished furniture ?

I also work on refinishing. Stripping and staining and that is very hard work and a workshop is totally necessary for that (to avoid the fumes), which used to be my screened porch. Love chalk painting.

Would love to make jewelry, but it has always been so difficult for me to work with really small pieces, for some reason. I'll bet y'all make some cool stuff together, in the jewelry area.

Thanks for sharing that.

Most women have one hobby: television
