Why are you, as a man, collecting things?

I'm a collector of fine sats.

Being a minimalist is a great form of freedom from things that tie you down. Building relationships and memories > possessions

I have a pretty great collection of spare cables in a cardboard box that anyone would be jealous of.

Whether it’s in months or year, they will all pay dividends

Resources show organizational and productive skills and signal to potential mates that you can provide

I collect tools. Often I buy them to do one specific job and then never use them again.

cos I worship creation of matter particles and what creative human beings can make out of them, don't collect much though...

I collect a lot of things. You should see my basement!

Bitcoin collector, they'll be running out pretty soon

I play Yu-Gi-Oh at my locals & Magic the Gathering with friends, so I guess I collect cards by default.

I gave all my MTG cards to my freshman roommate. I wonder where they are now?

What were you deck colours of choice?

Black and blue primarily. I had a green and white too. But I didn’t play in competitions it was just fun with friends.

Nice! I either go Black/Red or Black/Green

When they just kept producing new sets I couldn’t keep up.

I collect spores, molds and fungus.

Masculine Frame is cringe.

I don’t collect anything, but I feel there is something missing from the minimalist trend. Our parents and grandparents kept almost anything they could imagine a future use case for. We called it hoarding, and it definitely has its downsides, but I also never saw my great grandfather rent equipment from Home Depot.

That lifestyle seems a lot closer to the #MasculineFrame than modern minimalists.

Agreed the minimalism lends itself more to a mobile and rootless transitory existence.

Living out of AirBnBs with a laptop and suitcase.

Might be fun for a while as a single person with no family but it's no basis for a rooted civilization.

It’s a form of agriculture.

Guess it also depends on what a person is collecting.

Specimens of insects in your local environment?

Animal calls devices for hunting?

Collectible firearms?

Or Lego and pokemon sets?

Are these posts connected? 😉

If I were accused of collecting anything, it would be books as well. I'm more choosy these days over what I acquire (limited space and funds necessitate it) but I do keep grabbing more. I see the collection as being a rich inheritance for my children as well as a private library for our church/community. I am a steward as much as an owner/collector.
