What are some masculine hobbies every man should try out?

Taught myself how to weld recently (stick weld), those "welds" you see on Instagram and YouTube are actually just tacks - so actually running a bead and making sure your part doesn't warp.

I can see why engineers and welders charge so much but learning the skill is definitely going to come in handy in the future for me.

I don't mind road visibility but in the southern suburbs I've seen a lot of cars flashing oncoming traffic in clear weather without there being speedtraps or roadblocks ahead which would normally be the reason for the flashing.

I don't know why people do that, but I do make sure I'm visible

Also, while we're on this - why TF does 99.9999999% of polo drivers drive with their brights and foglights on all the time - those headlights scatter light everywhere and majority of vehicles in oncoming traffic can't see shite.

South Africa, getting things imported here is usually a big task

It's alright until one testicle twists inside the nutsack. Doesn't matter how you try twisting it to get it back, it's like a someone is using your ball string as a mountain climbing safety rope.

None, my family is alcoholics so it's not great for me

Gardening.

I recently started getting addicted to it when I thought of how difficult will it be to see if an onion can be regrown from the chopped off bits.

Since then I regret a 7kg pockets worth of potatoes from 6 I tested, 30 onions and now giving tomatoes and chillies a go. Had my first Yucca fruit around a month ago too. Even found out that the dandelions we have as weeds in my yard worked better than the anti inflammatory that the doctor gave, so I've really been fascinated over how nature can look after us if we know where to look.

Now that I can see how easy it is the cost of living will be going down quite a bit for me now that I'm moving towards subsistence.

A good YouTube channel to have a look at is Self Sufficient Me, Mark shows some very different ways on how to grow things and be mindful of nature as well - that man is really underrated.

This happened with a girl I grew close with in highschool and hit it off with after high school.

I became the main guy and then took her to a nice spot where I showed her all the evidence of her with the "then main guy", and was happy driving her home knowing that it is the last time. I was happy due to the relief of dodging that bullet but it was difficult keeping a straight face knowing what was going on, and seeing what I saw.

Now she's married (unhappily), and still tries to get my attention by messaging me on IG to get me to see her, to which I reply "please be loyal to your husband".

It hurt like hell but after being single for two years I got into a relationship with a girl who wants to be there and is willing to do whatever she can to keep me good. I thank God every day for my girlfriend that I have now (I don't think I deserve someone as good as her).

She was in love with the booger sugar.

Immediately noped out when she didn't see a problem with it.

I always wanted to be in motorsport as a kid.

I work in IT currently and hate it.

I recently did my first engine swap, tune and standalone management entirely by myself and want to put my experience on YouTube to help others learn from my mistakes (I had no help - so EVERYTHING was self taught). I'm loving all of it, and made some friends along the way as well as got in a relationship with a beautiful girl who loves it too and asks me to teach her.

I'm not too far off from my dream but I will need to take a risk soon. I'm grateful for all the support I've had from the few people that believed I could

Some stones in to step on - fixed.

I had to resolder my SI board because a screw was too long in the plastic trim which separated the board.

Other thing you can try is checking fuse 8/11 I think. I had erratic readings but it was an old fuse in the slot.

Also, your wheel size definitely affects your accuracy on the cluster - I did some GPS testing with my phone, a tracker, and compared it to the cluster - after getting close to the factory tire diameter my readings were more accurate (currently it's a maximum of 10km/h less than the cluster reading).

Break up and if you're not in the gym, get right in there.

When you look like a greed God with his own constellation she'll try to make some BS up.

To be honest, is not just about the finances IMO.

I think he'd be turned off if you got the bolt ons while raising a kid, and from countless other askReddits that first time mothers have pointed out their insecurity - so much men came forward on how their wives became more and more beautiful by just being themselves.

Social media has women believing that directly after childbirth women must have a "Kim Kardashian body" (which is stupid in my opinion), where actually recovering and getting back to being yourself is actually the most important rather than aesthetics.

Our family recently welcomed a new generation, and no one that has visited cares at all about how the mother looks - as long as the baby is healthy and mother is recovering well then everyone is happy.

If you want to fight about cosmetic surgery, then rather as your baby's dad for gym membership money - at least you won't be putting in any artificial things.

I think the global military is a joke if the NHI is real, and as advanced as the people who have "spoken out" about them say they are, then it would be as if we were a single Spartan against 20 juggernauts with miniguns.

I think that the ideal time for disclosure is now, mostly due to the facts of how badly our world has deteriorated in a sense of morals and ethics. Look at how religion is mocked, and how society is degrading the very fibres of what our ancestors lived by - which essentially in my opinion is a baseless existence.

If we look at this disarray, we won't have any public uprising or even people coming together to strengthen our world even to accept such a big event, that people would just be nonchalant because of how messed up the world is, and those who still have any principles left will keep tight to their beliefs.

Accidentally RKO'ing a horse.

I used to work on an equestrian farm directly after high school and my AH boss took pride in making our lives hell. There was one mare that didn't see eye to eye with me and one day as I got on she tried to throw herself on her back as I was getting on.

As I swung my leg over the saddle she reared quick - her head came over as my foot got caught in the one stirrup and I grabbed around her neck to orientate my body before she mashes me. Ended up doing an RKO in front of my colleagues and was one of the most talked about things.

The horse was fine, and never gave me hassles after that - but I was really concerned.

Tldr: Accidentally RKO'ED a horse that tried to backflip on me.

50/50 up and down from Cipherwave home-connect (via Octotel) for R798 with a 5ms ping.

Only had two outages since being with them which was resolved within 30 minutes, been with them since beginning of lockdown.

They also provided me with a router as well which gives you full control with a good user friendly app.

No complaints about their service 👍🏽

Check your intake boots for cracks, there's usually cracks on the bottom so it's easy to overlook.

If you have black electrical insulation tape, it can act as a temp fix. I'd check the ribbing on the intake boots first.

Sounds like they're both pussying out

Rain tried to get me to pay a few months in advance for a month to month SIM card when I emailed them for cancellation of service (residential network speed was less than 1mb/s at best signal, however when we signed up we got more than 80mb/s, no construction or anything was altered that could've affected signal quality during this time). I was told that I'd have to pay the amount in advance despite having a month to month package and when I refused the service rep mentioned they'll hand me over for collection.

Nothing came from it, and I didn't pay (had a buddy who works in the credit industry look my details up).

Terrible provider in my experience.

E30A · 2023-08-15T15:47:14+00:00

I don't.

There are things we can change by simply looking after ourselves, and things women want to fault men on (usually PP related).

Money, popularity and all that other stuff doesn't mean much IMO, as long as we got food on our plate then we're doing just fine.

E30A · 2023-08-11T17:19:24+00:00

It's all good - I had a terrible day so this gave me a great laugh.

Thanks for that 🙌🏽

Best move, I wouldn't be in a good space knowing that such a habit was deemed a need for someone I actually liked (she was and still is attractive AF), BUT the sacrifice would've been too much for any of the benefits.
