What are some good hobbies for a guy in his mid 20s?

I already play an instrument, read a decent amount, and am a gymcel. Getting kinda bored of this routine and would like to switch it up. What are you brahs up to in your free time?

Phases I’ve gone through, many hobbies I still do if not as frequently as the ones I’m focusing on but more occasional few times a month

Consistent

-skiing (winter)
-hunting (fall)
-camping (summer)
-bjj (spring-fall)
-fishing (summer)
-trail running (late spring-early fall)
-swimming (year round)
-gym/pt (year round)

Leisure activities are reading academic books, reading fiction books, reading comics, variety of video games here and there, occasional tv/movie

Fun hobbies I fit in when I can

Shooting at range, biking, mountain biking, gardening, painting, writing

I'm mid 30's but when I get the free time I like to do;

Woodworking
Gardening (summer time here)
Electronics, kit building, fixing stuff etc
Learning guitar
Making music with other Miscers
Vinyl dj on turntables

Projects and crafts with the boys - we go camping, cooking over the fire pit, bowl burning, making rope from flax, making snares or water collection stills.

Collecting things is more of a passive hobby, but I collect, old tools (and new tools heh) vinyl records and silver coins.

Damn

Totally agree

I’m going to get a membership to the Cambridge club in Toronto and start playing squash

i played in a squash league at LA Fitness/GoodLife and met some cool people. one time i was playing squash with a SVP of a big firm.

What’s the learning curve like? I’ve never played before so obviously can’t just jump into games with people who have and embarrass myself

Nothing. All I do is work and post on forums and watch TikTok.

squash is easy to learn. certainly easier to learn than tennis. although getting good takes a while.

Mirin - so it’s defn a cerebral game if you can be 280 lbs and dominate - going to study tactics before I step onto the court

I’m probably in worse shape than you due to vaping

golf and shooting are 2 good hobbies that you can pursue solo and with friends. camping/bushcraft depending on your location. My sons and I cleared out a space in the woods behind our house where we will futz around trying to build primitive shelters like they do on youtube occasionally.

Boxing and sparring (srs) use to do it a few years ago then stopped.

Only just getting back into it now and it's great for cardio and self defence. Even though I get destroyed by the more experienced guys in the ring I've learnt alot and find it fun tbh.

Fightmaxxing is legit for mogging and well being.

i tried to get into shooting but it’s hard to even get a range membership in southern Ontario and the culture overall isn’t friendly to gun owners and only getting worse.

yeah I’m thinking a martial art would be a great addition for numerous reasons.

[QUOTE=Donny2Yucky post_id=1653660863]yeah watch some squash matches on YouTube. it's really entertaining and super fast paced.

[youtube]oqaGRplOQw0[/youtube[/QUOTE]Tell me how this game is better than tennis? Seems like you do a drop shot and just stand in the other guy's way?

Salsa/bachata dancing, great skill for impressing sloots (though hooking up in the scene is hard unless you’re at least locally famous, better for impressing girls outside the scene, “let me give you a free lesson” etc.)

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

I don’t know what the terrain is like where your at , but dirt biking is the ultimate hobby IMO .
It’s as close as your going to get to be being a fighter pilot . Dodging tress at high velocity’s is a real buzz , just make sure you wear body armour.
Btw , no four strokes , as there for old people . Yamaha still makes a 2 stroke 250 , and KTM makes a 250 and 300 in a 2 stroke

Golf is addicting because there is a near infinite skill ceiling and you don't have to be very athletic to climb it. It's like an IRL RPG grind for old men.

Not sure if I would recommend it to another mid 20 year old because you meet very few brahs and ZERO sloots your own age. But I have been really enjoying it.

this seems fun but maybe hard to get in to? I’m in southern Ontario. Already have a motorcycle license though.

funny enough like 90% of the hot WASP sloots I saw on hinge were all into golf.
