science is not a hobby.

years ago, i nearly went to culinary school. at some point i realized that while i loved cooking, i could always cook as a hobby. but you can never do science as a hobby... to be any good at it at all, you have to do it full time.

you find out OP let me know.. I've been trying to find a hobby that would interest me in the slightest which would also give me a chance to meet more than 2 new people a year. (females in particular)

haven't thought of anything so far.

people that are into birds are far from the outdoor type of people.

at a small lake i go to fish there's a guy that watches birds when the weather is nice, so almost the entire summer. he just brings a chair, sets it up in the shade, and sits for a few hours while drinking beer and occasionally looking through his binoculars.

honestly, i'm not even sure what the fuck he looks at because there aren't that many birds there. the lake only has about 30 acres and it's on a rather small forest preserve in chicago suburbs.

Weight lifting?
You get to maybe meet 2 people a year at the gym and you also get a superior brain from having a strong body.
Apply Science to WeightLifting and it's science related, right?

I will back this guy up. As a gamer and /scie dueI enjoyed weightlifting for it's mechanical aspects, its mmo-like grindyness, and the theories of different routines. Especially with weightlifting you have to know the science and the objectivity of information to be good at it. To get maximum gains in the shortest and safest amount of time requires knowledge.
It will make you a fit etilist but you will be aesthetic as fuck and learn something new. Results come very quickly if you workout hard enough (read correctly).

Weight Lifting

It's pretty fun designing diets, workouts, and being economical with buying supplements and getting the best deals (whey, multi vitamin, creatine, etc) if you're a poor college student.

Intelligence + Aesthetics + not an aspie = set for life

Also being /fit/ has a very good chance you will be into cooking considering how concerned one would be with health. Science and cooking get along great, especially with baking.

Seriously OP do this now. Acquire /fit/, possibly learn to cook, and disregard women.

Not so, one of my hiking pals is a geology hobbyist. He has some pretty cool mineral specimens, including some gold nuggets and a nickel-iron meteorite.
