>>10740253I wouldn't consider video games to be a good hobby. It's closer to fitting the criteria of what I think of real hobbies in that you are "active" in a sense and they are something you can improve at, but it's still just staring at something else that's been created for you and highly receptive in nature.
>Men should have hobbies that involve using their hands to build, create, write, draw something. Painting, model building, restoring old cars, gardening. Those are hobbies.Agree completely. To extend, I would say a hobby should involve growth from novice to higher levels of expertise as you become more competent, learning and practical application of knowledge, problem solving and production. Reading is not really a hobby. Reading as the means to inform something you're trying to do can be part of a hobby.
If your hobbies are anime, TV, wrestling, books and listening to music, then your hobby is in fact "consuming".
