For me I'd say I defiantly play video games (MMORPG) while on the road and at home. 

During home time I sew and get my Peterbilt washed and then I spend hours waxing and shining it up for going back out on the road.

I am pretty sure, all perfectly feminine.   

Have a great day.

I think the idea of video games as a male hobby is basically outdated -- I mean it was definitely true when I was growing up, but these days, 50% of the game consoles in the US are owned by women, and there are millions of girls and women playing video games all the time.  Nintendo DS/Wii and facebook games have played a big part, and iPhone games as well now I guess.

What's funny is that you could say I started cross-dressing in video games, before I was ready to accept that that was what I was doing.  Any game where you could play a female character, that was my choice.  And god help me once I got ahold of Sims 2...

Yes! I always played female characters in video games, as well. In fact, I'm willing to bet that playing cross-gender characters in video games, especially MMORPGs and related games (WoW, Second Life), is the most common form of "cross-dressing" in first-world countries. It would be pretty impossible to get stats on that, though.

In one online game, you have to be female to do a quest. You have to pay for and get a sex change if you want to get the quest points. The quest does return those funds for a reversal if you want it afterwards.

Ok I will bite.

I have dinner parties for my friends, which means I also cook, I wash the dishes, (I don't dry), I make quilts, I crochet and I have always done so. I clean the house top to bottom. (I don't put out the rubbish), I read trashy romantic stories, when I can get my hands on them (yeah mills and boon).  I think that should do it!!

Kind regards

Does riding a hobby horse count?

Does wondering how this post ended up in "gender studies" count?

It would be pretty impossible to get stats on that, though.

Yeah, could you please tell me honestly about all your on-line lying?  Yeah, that's kinda problematic.  If you opening assumption is that people are not telling you the truth, why do you think they will be honest in talking about it?

That's why each and every sex study has to be taken with - not a grain of salt, but more like a couple of salt mines, as everybody lies about sex (particularly to themselves). 

Tried gaming... never really got on with it, but i can't see that it's any less valid for a girl than a boy.

Personally my hobbies are reading, writing, photography, cooking and amateur dramatics/singing - I am lucky enough to be able to sing contralto and I tackle everything from opera to folk music. I'm not very good but I enjoy...

I don't think it really matters what your hobbies are gender-wise. Some of my hobbies are totally girlie but I have to do them in drab. For example, scrap-booking. When I go to Scrapmania, I have to be dressed as a boy because I don't really think I'm passable enough to show up as a girl. All the girls just assume I'm very effeminate. On the flip-side, my favorite hobby is back-country hiking. I think this may be seen as a stereo-typically male hobby, but it's actually where I started going out dressed up. Girl hikers have the *cutest* outfits and, really, there's so few people out there it doesn't really matter what you're wearing.

I suppose I have a mix of both gender's hobbies. For exercise, I like  running and yoga. For crafts, I like scrapping, sewing and baking. For fun, I like hiking, music, shopping, kayaking and video games. The most boyish hobby I have is woodworking. The most girlish hobby I have is probably homemaking.

I know quite a few girls who are gamers. I'm not really into it, but if my friends are playing Halo or whatever I can kick it with them. My girlfriend used to be into gaming, but she doesn't so much anymore. Sometimes, however, we'll geek out and play old school Mario for a few hours.

Oh my gosh...I was trying to think about my current hobbies...I think college killed it.

Just want to have fun.


Ahh lost the video link

Your a Cindy Lauper girl?  I happen to like her. True colors mostly. Mainly cause I'm finally getting to show my true colors but anyway......

Lately I've been clothes shopping. I am also looking at bangles, necklaces, and accessories b/c a nice summer night would be a good time to wear them.

For the most part, however, I like dabbling with computers. I'd like to pick up some new hobbies such as piano but lessons would need to come first... which probably is expensive. Sometime in the future for sure!

Something I'm dreaming about once I'm back from Montreal is to take ballet.

Do they let old people in classes?

They do here at least, I found several schools that offer ballet to adults, including beginners.

I still want to know why this is in "gender studies." 

It's rather obvious... It took years of planning and versing everyone involved just to place this tread here in gender studies to drive people Nuts, Coo Coo, A Wacky Wacky Wacky LOONY TUNES... LOL

for the record, Gaming isn't a hobby, it's a way of life, and any so-called gamers who would disagree isn't a gamer. But as far as my hobbies go, it's just this, Magic: The Gathering Gotta say I love my Red/Black Artifact deck. Another hobby of mine is Debating people. But Again I must say, GAMING ISN'T A HOBBY ANY GAMER WHO CLAIMS IT AS ONE ISN'T A TRUE GAMER

Right, just like crossdressers aren't "true transgender people." Lawlz.
Git off yer high horse. 

I always thought that a 'lifestyle' was something you made your life in and could make your life from.  So a 'game designer' or even a 'game tester' sure.  A 'player' no.
