What do you do apart from play games?

[soop]

I need to meet more people and do more stuff, because the banging your head against the brick wall method of trying to meet my future wife is not currently working out.  But everything I like doing is not conducive to female attention in the least - well apart from cooking, but it's not like anyone is gonna appear in my kitchen.

So basically, I have interests but I don't go to any classes or go dancing or whatever, plus I'm quite shy sometimes.

What do you guys do in your free time?

You will never meet a woman if you are actually seeking one.  A one night stand or a 2 week casual affair? Yes.  A long term relationship? Never.  It's always when you aren't looking for it.

For myself I enjoy snowboarding and drinking.  Often both at once.

I kind of miss skating (board).  I'm probably too old now :O

Does your wife need to be your activity partner as well? If you can do your part financially and be monogamous you should be able to find someone.

I met my wife on a matchmaking website. Im from california, she's from the philippines. We're currently in the philippines now visiting family.

Nah, not my activity partner, but it would be nice to have something in common.  I've had interest, but no mutual attraction.  I think part of the problem is certainly that I'm too picky (and possibly shallow) but I couldn't see someone I'm not phsically very attracted to.

Once you kiss your future wife you can kiss your past game collection goodbye.

Hah, that will never happen!

I wonder if there's like a cooking class/single meet like places? maybe that's a good business to start up.

Being picky is great. Do your best to be picky about the things that will lead to a lifelong marriage and be persistent!

Does meetup.com work in your neck of the woods?  Both my wife and I have found groups and events through meetup.  I joined a D&D gaming group that meets weekly (though I don't attend anymore) and a photography meetup group where people get together on location every once in awhile to shoot pictures and talk shop.  It's not a dating service, but it's a good way to meet like-minded people in the area and get out of the house once in awhile.  We're also part of a nature/hiking group, but haven't made it to any of the meetups for that one yet.

Ultimate Frisbee, guitar, Magic:the Gathering, movies, rollerblading

Pretty much, find another social hobby that you enjoy and gets you out of the house and you are likely to meet a kindred "soul" if you will.

Biking, drinking, stabbing hookers, and tormenting naughty robot souls fills up most of my free time.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.  I have a friend that is taking that approach.

Ultimate Frisbee and D&D sound like my cup of tea (though I can't imagine meeting too many girls doing D&D).

In fact I love frisbee, and try and play it as often as possible, but the weather has been terrible recently.  Still got out for a few hours, and my throws are getting really good!  curve shots particularly.  Still can't hammer throw though.

I disagree.



When I'm not playing games, I am making music, rollerskating, killing cops, snorting blow, tokyo drifting, watching anime, playing with my lizards, and programming stuff.
