GP, You are correct in this statement from my POV. You ask 100 guys and gals you will get 100 different answers and different ones from the same person(s) depending on their ever changing life circumstances. Maybe is a hobby for some, as it is just partaking in an activity just for pure enjoyment of the moment or experience. And to follow up on Anita's quote:

so tell me sir..what is actually the def of a hobby..is there a time period that should laps between the hobby activity or is there not?

Anita, Yes for myself due to two relatively scare commodities, time and funds, I do not venture forth too far after being fortunate enough to find the connection(s) as you have stated. I guess I am a creature of comfort and familiarity and when I find the connections you have referred to the time period is controled by not my desires for frequency, but the control of the commodities being available.

A hobby, yes if you use the definition of partaking in an activity for enjoyment done voluntarily. But maybe not if you are searching for mutual interaction with someone who you truly enjoy being with and she with you! Maybe then fullfilling a human need.

Good discussion guys. Thanks for the input. I always get a laugh when I hear someone say something like, this is a hobby, it is supposed to be fun. I understand the spirit behind such statements, but who the hell are they to tell me if I consider this a hobby or even how to define my hobby.

This to me is part of the problem... A hobby to me is an activity you partake in, that brings you joy. Doesn't matter if its making birdhouses... I think that there is a notion though that you can only have one hobby... this is one of my hobbies... just where it ranks in my list of hobbies, not sure... but if I didn't' like it, i wouldn't continue it... so yes it is a hobby, even though i may not partake in it as much as my other hobbies, it is still a hobby to me... an activity that i have done before, that i know repetitiously ( if its done more than once its repititous) perform that brings me joy...

As a waitress I believe I never asked any of my customers if they had an eating disorder or addiction but loved to hear of all the different types of cuisines and alternative choices and opinions of what was out there. . . and of course what they enjoyed on my menu

As a bartender I believe I never asked anyone if they were allergic or an alcoholic, but loved to hear about bars who had a large variety of beer/wine or breweries/wineries to check out when I am in the area . . .

So as a provider I know there are a variety of "types" that fall within this world and I desire to explore and embrace every type and variety that interests me as I believe you gentleman do when looking around for a provider to experience. . . .am I addicted, infatuated, obsessed . . . and to what aspect? Maybe/maybe not . . .and who knows?
