Fishing and watching sports.

I don't like titty bars either.

Deer hunting (at least as many people do it, sitting on their ass in a cold tree stand during the bleakest day of the year). I've done it, shot a lot of deer, but I much prefer hunting that's not stationary

Reading "manly" fiction (gun/thriller/espionage/etc.). Especially have no patience for 10 books about a badass guy named Duke LaCrosse who doesn't play by the rules. I'd rather read a stereo manual.

Running/endurance. Don't even mind running or cycling, just hate to do it all fucking day long just to say how far I went. Rather do intervals and be done in 20 minutes.

Sounds like I'm impatient, but I'm not really just don't like monotony.

Fishing for sure. I know how to fish, and when I went on a canoe trip in the boundary waters of Canada for five days we had to fish if we wanted something good to eat instead of the back up freeze dried food we brought. In a situation like that, I don't mind fishing but never just for fun, I'll go out on the boat with people though just to be on the water.

Going out to bars. Some of my friends get all kinds of excited to go hang out at the bar and drink. Give me a small group of people around a fire with the same drinks, except at a fraction of the price.

Pretty much any sport, especially on TV.

I have absolutely zero interest in team sports, any of them, except baseball and that's ONLY if I'm playing. I won't watch ANY sports on TV and will not attend any games unless I've got a kid on the team, which I don't anymore.

Fishing. To Tears.

Watching "The game" ... Unless "The Game" is boxing or MMA.

Mowing the lawn. That can go straight to hell. (Actually, yard work in general)

Going to breastaurants like hooters, tilted kilt, etc. ... just holds zero interest for me. Mediocre food and crappy service are not worth it.

1: Fishing can be boring. However, after a horrible work week a couple years ago, another doc and I took his little aluminum boat onto the lake. For a couple hours, we didn't have to deal with pagers, phone calls, dying people, or the like. We set the trolling motor for "glacial," caught some Kokanee, and basked in the morning sunlight like a couple bloated tree frogs.

2: Yep.

3: Yep. I pay someone to do most of my yard work, much to the chagrin of people on this site who think that makes me lazy.

4: I don't need to go to a place where college-aged waitresses are expected to pretend to flirt with me for a tip.

Give me a choice of anything to do relaxing right now, and my answer will be: I want to sit in my garage, mindlessly wet-sanding a guitar I'm refinishing, while playing some old Jazz on the radio.

That's about the way I see it anymore. You simply don't have to work at it like you once did to kill a deer in my area. Damn things are everywhere.

Squirrel hunting is where it's at.

Just about all sports bore me. The only ones that don't completely bore me are MMA and boxing and I don't try to watch them. In fact, I don't watch them at all but if someone has them on, I wont walk out of the room.

You still have to work it where I hunt. The deer have been hunted by people in trees long enough that they look up in the trees now when they walk around.

For those that said fishing, you are doing it wrong. Throw away the worms and powerbait, get off your butt and learn to fly fish.

Any televised sporting event. I was the Captain of my HS football team. Loved every minute of playing. Then I grew up and did important shit with my life like joining the military and quit caring about it. The worst most unmanliest thing ever is fantasy football. I work in a firehouse with a bunch of dudes who love football, especially fantasy football and it drives me nuts. How the fuck they have time for that shit blows my mind.

Why would I sit on my ass watching a bunch of douche bags on a Saturday or Sunday when I could be in the woods with my bow is beyond me.

Fishing for catfish is boring as hell. I can't see how people can sit there for hours watching their line doing nothing. "Hunting" large and smallmouth bass is fun. Flyfishing for trout in a rocky mountain stream is about the most satisfying thing out there.

Watching sports on TV.

I'll go to the park or stadium with friends and have some beers and hotdogs and peanuts etc.
Sitting at home?
CARING about the stats - not even.
I have better things to do with my time.

Like drink beer and eat hot dogs and peanuts with my friends.

Working on cars. I've done it. I could still do if I wanted to. But I don't. I was never very good at it and usually ended up bleeding.

Motorcycles. Never had any use for them.

I have zero interest in watching ball sports, or team sports for that matter. When I played baseball in school I was very competitive - the drive to accomplish and win kept me going. As an observer, I could not possibly care less about teams, stats, trades, or whatever else people seem to obsess over.

Play in a foursome with me, and you stand a high chance of getting an inadvertent beating. I am, to put it nicely, not a precise golfer. It usually only takes me 4-5 swings to make ball contact on the first tee.
