Do people really have hobbies these days?

1) No
2) I don't have one
3) I've yet to make a CV but need to
4) Not sure

Sorry, can't help. I'm hobby-less

Is laying in bed and thinking about doing something considered a hobby?

I have many hobbies. I am an artist and a crafter, I also knit and quilt. I get paid to take photos too. This year I would like to take up clay throwing so that I can make wool bowls. I teach too. Making pure natural, soap is really rewarding; it makes a sensational gift too.

I have too many hobbies! I like drawing, painting, scrapbooking, photography and pretty much anything artistic. I also enjoy watching TV, movies, working out and playing computer games. There's not enough time in the day for it all!

1. Not really
2. Writing, drawing, and nowadays exercising
3. If I had a CV I'd put that pretty much! And socialising I think counts - do you like to go to clubs or costas sorta stuff - on dating profiles!
4. I want to get back into dancing - there is a pole dance class I am interested in because it can really get you flexible and strong, plus it looks beautiful when put into ballets and such

I think...well, find, that on the dating sites, people often say things to make themselves appear more interesting...but in reality, not too many actually have "traditional" hobbies or would admit to them. Like...I love to crochet, Im not putting that ish on a dating profile LOL!!!

So for hobby / past-time I put down things I like to do when Im not working...going to happy hour with friends, going to the movies, the beach, go on road trips and visit museums etc... I just list stuff I enjoy so that its clear I dont just work and sleep and am generally boring. Even though 90% of the time, all I do is work and sleep and am generally boring (LoL!) But if I had someone to do those things with, Id get out and do them more often, so its not a lie.

Id like to get back to studying language..trying to learn German.

Hi there. Since I am German I thought Ill post this here since you said you wanted to learn German. it would be great to have some german speaking people here

Hobbies? Cooking, reading, scrapbooking and going to the beach, does that count? oh yeah, and playing racquetball, one of my favorite sports.

1) do you think most people have hobbies, in the traditional sense?

I think people do not realise they have hobbies

2) what are your hobbies/interests?

Astronomy, fitness, reading

3) what do you put down as your hobbies on your cv?

same as the above

4) what hobbies/skills would you like to develop?

para sailing

1) do you think most people have hobbies, in the traditional sense?
I don't think it's completely gone. I think many people still have some "traditional" hobbies, but as technology changes, our hobbies and interests will inevitably change

2) what are your hobbies/interests?
My school's Model UN team (researching and representing a country) has become my biggest hobby as of late. I also don't know if you would count this as a hobby but I recently started volunteering at an organization that is dedicated to abolishing human trafficking in our state. Somebody else said they wanted to learn German, which is a language I just decided to pick up as well as Arabic. Also love hiking, lifting weights, lifting cats, etc. I'm going to start kayaking and possibly white water rafting this summer!

3) what do you put down as your hobbies on your cv?
Model UN, volunteering, and language skills are a definite! I might bring up my other ones in an interview if the employer wants to know what I do for funsies but I doubt it

4) what hobbies/skills would you like to develop?
I really want to develop the languages I've already begun taking (Arabic and German) and possibly go on to other languages (maybe French and Russian?) and generally develop my public speaking skills. Something that Model UN is helping me with is developing my people skills. I'm a total extrovert but I tend to just say things that are on my mind regardless of how tactful they are Definitely need to work on that

I can't imagine not having a hobby. Wire wrapping, making paper bead jewelry, watercolor, sketching, crocheting, sometimes knitting, playing MMOs, hiking (which I need to do more!), sculpting... I just need to do more physical stuff.

I think that hobbies are very important. Many people don't take the time to cultivate hobbies because, by default, they use their time on passive activities like surfing the internet and watching T.V. I'm sure I surf the Internet far too much, though I'm happy to say that I spend many hours a week reading, knitting, drawing, trying to learn Spanish with Rosetta Stone, fooling around on the piano and recorder, and cooking. The best way to begin is to free up some time and try out some things to see if you like them.

I have hobbies I run and ride a motorcycle which are my more dedeciated hobbies. I read, wine is a hobby, voluteering.

1) Many do
2) Watercolor painting, reading
3) nothing - it's not relevant
4) Already doing - see #2

1) do you think most people have hobbies, in the traditional sense?

The people I know, do a lot of things that I just have no interest in (scrapbooking, cross-stitch, running)

2) what are your hobbies/interests?

In-line skating, scuba/snorkel when I am near the ocean, jewelry design, boxing, lifting and others.


3) what do you put down as your hobbies on your cv?

I put down the things that pertain to my professional development. I can't put down risky things (skydiving, etc) due to insurance risk flags (it's happened to others in my field). 'Nuff said.

4) what hobbies/skills would you like to develop?

Proficiency at ASL (American Sign Language). Always looking to get better just because.
Learn for the sake of learning.
I can change my own oil and tires, replace spark plugs and other things like that. I am always up for learning more ways to be self-sufficient.

But as for building a ship in a bottle - one day I'll get around to doing that!
