I’m not trying to be funny with this post.

I’m a 44 year old woman, and sometimes men strike up conversations with me in public. I’m generally okay with it since I’m naturally outgoing.

In the last month, three grown men have told me their main hobby is scrolling TikTok. When I asked what they do for fun, that was their answer. Nothing more. I thought the first person was joking but they are serious. Then they are confused when I don’t want to hang out.

That’s aweful! Find some activities dudes. Too much life to live

Wow. Wild. And concerning.

At this point most people’s “hobbies” are just doom scrolling

“Tell me you have high time preference without telling me you have high time preference.” Look, squirrel!

JFC that's dystopian 😬

wow.

yeah, no.

me: "I sh*tpost on nostr and do weird research with LLMs to make things easier" :D

I legit can't imagine saying "I just stare at short vids all day.".

still thinking about this.

just no.

Their main hobby should be scrolling nostr amiright

That's sad. For them.

I was at a river with my scuba mask and water socks last week. A girl had dropped her metal water bottle in and I fished it out for her. They asked if I made TikTok content. I told them no I just like to swim around in the river for fun and see what it looks like under the surface. They immediately lost interest 😂 but more expected for a couple of 18 year old girls.

🤦🏻‍♂️

Have you been on dating apps? Total nightmare.

No thank God. I know better.

The complete mindlessness on those apps, it's shocking.

Dating apps is where you find the absolute worst people.

It's a trap. Avoid that shit.

If you wanna find a sex partner go outside and talk to women

So sad

Deteriorating culture 🤢

It isn't just the men. When I was still doing that sort of thing, the most common answer women on first dates gave to the hobbies question was a blank stare.

Brutal.

Me when that happened.

This is so disappointing. Older men saying video games or sports are their hobbies is more respectable.

Btw I would’ve never guessed you were 44, that’s hard to believe.

How about those in their 20's (such as myself) who happened to be gamers, but also do content creation (vibe emanation as Neigsendoig likes to call it on here)? Surely, there's something that could potentially be more respectable than that.

I like gaming. What I meant is that it is a common complaint that women had about men wasting their time on hobbies like that. Now the new complaint is scrolling TikTok haha so being a gamer or sports fan is more respectable now

we tested zaps on this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at msokiovt@nostrcheck.me, over a period of 4 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.

To be clear, I'd feel the same if it were Nostr. Social media addiction is pathetic.

I neither Tik nor Tok. Don’t even have an account.

Wow

I often wonder what the equivalent experience randomly meeting a millennial woman would be like.

The conditioning has been intense.

a ma'am, one of my hobbies is scrolling #nostr

... i build stuff and stack sats too 😉

Pff, pathetic.

I at least say I'm scrolling insta...

So you found men who's main hobby isn't just getting drunk and watching sports?

Good work lol

Getting drunk and watching sports with friends is a few tiers up from tiktok scrolling.

hello eliza

High quality hobby 😵

😳
