Have you ever noticed that some couples seem to have such a great time doing things together? It’s likely because they’re not always doing an activity or pursuing a hobby the girl wants to do - they’re probably doing things they both want to do! If you want to try a hobby your boyfriend might like, I can help! Here’s a list to give you some ideas… 7 cool hobbies to try with the man in your life!

1. Home-brewing Beer

If you like cooking or baking, then you may want to try home-brewing your own beer! What man wouldn’t fall, or stay, head over heels in love with a girl that can make a mean IPA or stout? It takes a little time and patience, but it’s fun, and so rewarding to drink a beer you’ve made yourself… with a little help from your sweetie!

2. Target Shooting

My boyfriend has a collection of handguns and he loves to shoot them at the range. I went with him once, on a whim, and now I’m hooked! It’s a little expensive, and very, very loud, but this is one hobby your boyfriend and you will both love - and you even get to compete with him!

3. Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is a very manly pastime, and is fantastic exercise, especially for your upper body… so why not give it a try? It’s a great idea to try an indoor wall first, to get some practice in, but if you climb all winter, you’ll be ready to try the real thing by summer!

4. Flag Football

In my little suburb of Detroit, there are a number of flag football leagues, co-ed, and it’s so much fun to play! Without the worry of being tackled and injured, we girls actually have some advantages - we’re pretty light on our feet, and so fast! Wouldn’t it be fun to play on a flag football team with your boyfriend?

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. Golf

Ah, golf. It’s a men’s and a women’s sport, so you may already play. If you don’t though, know this - it involves a lot of walking, which means a lot of time together. It’s also a lot of fun, if you can ever develop your swing (I’m still working on mine)…

6. Rock Band

It’s just a simple fact - boys love video games, and they love playing (or pretending to play) rock music. Playing Rock Band is a big improvement over playing air guitar and air drums, or singing into your hairbrush… and with so many great songs to choose from, why not try it? Your boyfriend will appreciate a bass player or lead singer, and you’ll have a chance to impress him by hitting those high notes.

7. Fishing

Perhaps a little more relaxed than the other things on this list, but fishing can be a great hobby to try with your man. It’s calm, quiet, and can even lead to a fab home-cooked fish dinner. So you can impress him with your fish-catching skills and your cooking skills!

Would these hobbies be so much fun to try with your boyfriend? I know I love target shooting and playing Rock Band with mine, and I can’t wait to try golf… I’m not positive about fishing yet, but we’ll see! Which of these do you and your boyfriend do together? Or is there something you do with him that’s not on this list? Please let me know!

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

Outdated gender roles...yack, yack, yack. It's a cute little article and guess what, most men do like a number of these type of activities. Now if you are hooked up with some metro-sexual wimp or if you yourself are some sort of Wrapped-too-tight feminist, then do yourself a favor. Move to San Fran or the Village in NYC and both of you find your real sexual orientation. Otherwise, try some of these or just leave him alone with his ESPN and or History Channel.

Tomboy's are irresistible that is a known fact. I live on a beef farm so I took my lady friend out into the pasture to tag and needle baby calves. It was fun because first of all, every girl think baby farm animals are cute. Secondly it was entertaining watching her try to catch them. Was a lot easier together because it takes a bit of team work and strategy to get it done.
