well, in an attempt to be a better girlfriend, i tried stuff my hubby likes. Such as playing pool (kinda fun, except we kept arguing since i never played before and he is extremely good at it. turns out, he wanted to play seriously, and it ruined the game for him to have to stop and teach me everything-especially after forking over cash to play.not romantic at all.and he was able to drink and play-i had to stay stone cold sober just to shoot the stick!not fun...) I went out to FISH...which was fun, for me. I thought it was ridiculously boring watching him fish for the first 2 hours, but then it got fun as i made fun of him "Ha ha, you haven't caught a single fish-i bet i can catch at least one!"...very fun, even though I also couldn't catch one.think i would've had a heart attack if I really caught a fish though-so gross... we played golf-well, almost.turns out, he is afraid to try the real thing because he doesn't want to suck.but i get cool girlfriend points for taking him out to check out different golf spots around town.maybe someday.... we also tried rockband.i love guitar hero, so turns out this is MY hobby, not his.he even got me the delux rockband set with a brand new $500 PS3 to play it on.we had fun the first 3 days when we rocked out together...but he has refused to touch it ever since.that was last year! as for the rest of the list, i hate when he drinks but maybe the beer brewing could be cool if it saves money. i'll never participate in gun play...it is a weapon, not a toy.maybe lazer tag or paintball is acceptable though.flag football is a kid thing...my man is grown!plus, judging from the "playing pool" experience, I can't say he won't tackle me.it's pretty clear he is competitive and takes things seriously...lucky for our relationship, but not lucky for a fun game hobby.

I thought it would be about sex too. The picture i clicked on to get to this article shows a girl in a pink rabbit suit, on her knees begging at the feet of some guy. Plus, the title of the article initially is “7 cool things to try with your boyfriend!” When you get to this article itself, the title changes to “7 cool hobbies to try with your boyfriend…”.

If my girlfriend suggested any of these things, I would dump her instantly. Probably launch a lifelong grudge against her as well for the immensity of the insult.

and yes i am a guy posting on a all women talk site. why because In issues of relationships you should always go to the source or in this case your guy.

Really these are your ideas ... you really are very sexist... I love doing all these things and my boyfriend hates them...

I think the problem with the article, which perhaps people are having trouble articulating, is that the purposes is to improve your relationship (read the opening paragraph) but it's just listing 7 random activites. Maybe a better approach would be to give girls tips on how to find out what their man loves to do or ways to communicate better. For instance, I know for a fact, my hubby HATES fishing and golf. HATES THEM! If you don't know what your partner likes, perhaps it wouldn't be the bes tidea to take him on a suprise fishing trip. I think the problem with this article is that these are all things that you could do for first dates, but even then, they're a bit touch and go. I say this because if you're in a long term relationship you'll know your partners hobbies, and that's all these are, hobbies. And even then, they are randomally selected hobbies. Instead of saying 'Does you're man like a certain sport, like cricket, football or tennis? Why don't you suss out when the next game is and buy you both tickets.' it say 'men like football.. go watch some.' Instead of saying, 'Is there something you're man like to do to relax, like lying by the beach, going camping or watching a movie? Why don't you do that with him?' it says 'men like to fish, go fishing.' See, I think think the type of hobbies that are included are good. Long term hobbies (home brewry) Extreme hobbies (shooting and rock climbing) Sport hobbies (football and golf) Gaming hobbies (rock band) and lastly relaxing hobbies (fishing) are all good but they are just too specific Instead why don't you think about the person you're actually going out with (not the person the writer has married) and come up with ideas they actually like. For instance with my hubby Long term hobby : we restore furniture (yeah not as manly.) Extreme hobby: We go hiking, camping and rafting. Sport hobby: We go to the gym together and play soccer on a mixed team. Gaming hobbies: I'm actually a bigger gamer than my hubby but rock band isn't really even gaming. Relaxing: walks, drives, going out for lunches etc. And even then, I hope this isn't helpful for you because these are the hobbies I have with my husband... And my point is, that all men are different and so are all women. My hubby wants to go and watch an all day cricket game and you know what, I don't, so he is going with his friends AND THAT'S OKAY TOO. This article seems to completely miss that though.

What ever it is do it naked. That adds a little adventure even if it is a trip to the library. -Gulliver
