Sure. I actually wrote a thread on hypnosis/nlp.

Started out practicing on friends/family. Now I'll occasionally do private consultations for positive change.

Basic stage stuff (hands stuck together, name amnesia) at parties is always good for entertainment too.

[Prowl]

Things I aspire to pick up in 2012 (or at least start picking up):

-Spanish
-Some musical instrument (probably piano/keyboard)
-Scuba

[WesternCancer]

- guitar
- writing
- cooking
- lifting
- skiing
- reading/learning
- building model airplanes.

i know that last one is heavily associated with betas/omegas, but I build realistic looking planes from wwII and onward wars. I also enjoy researching the history associated with the planes/the battles they are in, never really bring it up in conversation though. I find the sanding and airbrushing is relaxing whereas it also hones my attention to detail and precision which I can apply to gaming. Now that I'm in school I haven't been working on them, but I used to work a few hours a week at most. I was even thinking of staring a business where people would pay me to make their grandfather, fathers or their plane they flew in the military. However chinese sweatshop operations have taken this over with more efficiency than I could do.

[ersatz]

I more have projects or hobbies that i want to complete vs hobbies per say, other than a few things i use to relax or procastinate.

Right now:
Cycling
fitness and diet
my porsche
the ladies game
travel and internationalizion

once i have some savings i want understanding investing.

ocassional activities are scuba and snowboarding

Building shit. Not only educational and marketable (I've sold a few circuit kits and the like), but you can impress in odd ways.
Reading
Lifting
Building more shit
Ballroom dance (not a particular way to pick up women, but it seems to surprise and please them once they find out)
A little salsa
Improv
Game/Socialization; I can hold my own but am working on approaching and initiating more (in general, not just women).

Hey Goldin Boy, what made you consider taking Aikido as a martial art?

[Anon-A-Moose]

My hobbies: play video games, work out, occasionally go out. I run a p/t hauling business on the side of looking for work, but the income is very meager right now; am trying to go for being a cop.

I'm from a rough inner-city neighborhood and I wanted some kind of self-defense that didn't come in a holster. I have no desire to start shit with people but there are many insecure individuals around me who think they're tough by fighting someone who looked at them wrong. I looked it up and I was interested in it b/c it seems to be about defense/countering/redirecting opponents strikes. I want the confidence that if something does go down, I can hold my own.

[Roustabout]
