Because if I read another 'doing his hobby' I will scream.

IT'S NOT OUTING. THE VAST MAJORITY OF MALE PARTNERS ON HERE CYCLE, GOLF OR PLAY RUGBY/FOOTBALL.

I'll start. I don't have a hobby as I'm a lone parent with a FT job but I spend any leisure time reading. BF plays golf and take part in several orchestras.

It’s definitely not something I talk about at work, especially given I work with mostly men. But it’s becoming more accepted and mainstream which is a good thing, I hope more people give it a try as it’s such fun, really good for your fitness levels and there’s such a positive, supportive pole community.

My DH hobby: cooking but occasionally, football,

Him: golf
Me: watching I'm a celebrity get me out of here and eating my body weight in sweets

CustomerCervixDepartment · 24/11/2019 22:54

It’s always funny how people’s crap husbands suddenly develop a love for cycling along roads in Lycra fancy dress for 6+ hours a day as soon as they impregnate their wives..or golf or triathlons, etc. Almost as if they’re looking for an excuse to not be around their wife and kids 🧐 imagine tolerating that shit.
