In job interviews I'm usually asked what are my hobbies, and I don't give them a list of things that I would consider worthy of calling a hobby - I tell them how I spend my time - including what I'd consider are my hobbies.I love when people say hobby and it ends up just being some random action that requires no skill that they just do during the day or now and then. A hobby is something that still requires effort, persistence, thought, some mixture of intelligence and/or physical ability.
Examples: playing a musical instrument at a top tier level, reading/applying and understanding non-potato books, some form of crafting/building like wood work or building PCs. If you can excel in a hobby and truly know you have mastered it then that will reflect on you with every thing else in life.
Examples of things that are not hobbies: Instagram. Mobile phone movie making. Going out with friends. Watching TV.
One of my favorite screening questions to ask someone--especially a female--is "What are some of your hobbies or interests?". A simple question that can tell a lot about someone. Also, the answer of: "I don't really have any" is actually ranked higher than answering with something that in no way qualifies.

Instagram could very well be a hobby - you're building a photo album, and developing photography skills - and you're putting it out there to be judged by the world. 99% of instagram I would consider vapid slooting selfies, but that doesn't mean instagram can't be a hobby.
To me, a hobby is just something that interests you, and some way to spend your time that most people aren't doing. If there's a subject, and/or a skill, I'd say it could easily be called a hobby.
I wouldn't consider watching tv a hobby because most people watch tv, but if you were into war documentaries or certain genres or something, I could see someone considering it their hobby.
Working out of something I used to be consider my hobby because it was a bit more niche at the time, and it involved a lot of researching into the subject, and applying that information into diet and routines. I no longer consider it a hobby because it's just a routine for me - no more goals, no more PR's, not even planned sets - I just do whatever while I'm there for my allotted time to maintain what I have. But if someone else considers it their hobby, then it's their hobby.

Book clubs tend to be female dominated, they are basically wine clubs with required reading though

I know someone who likes to look at rocks. Not even collect the rocks - just look at them. But he knows how to differentiate between all of the different types, and plans his hikes based on the geology of the area - so subduction zones have more metamorphic rocks and possibility of jade or serpentine - that kind of thing. Pretty interesting actually.

What I listed are hobbies that men do. Of course not all them work on cars or go sky diving or play sports or ride motorcycles or go hunting.
That list is filled with men doing those things. I guarantee you a majority of men can pick 3 things off that list as hobbies and a majority are cheap. FYI watching sports can be a hobby. Did you know some sports analysts can up to millions a year? Of course not.

like some ******* before me said. Women are wired to desire to have children and care for them, they don't find material things and objects as interesting as us men do.
"Powerlifters shout at bodybuilders because bodybuilding produces mountains of muscle tissue with no functional purpose. Strongman competitors look down on powerlifters because there's more to strength than a one-rep max in three lifts performed with a minuscule range of motion. Olympic lifters, if you can find them, get to feel smug because every 4 years, you can turn on the TV at 3 AM and see them compete for gold. And everyone hates on CrossFit."
