do you consider it a red flag if someone doesn't have a hobby?

    Like if you went on a date with someone and asked "what is your hobby?" and this person responded "Oh, I have none.", would you then be thinking "I'm not going on a date with them ever again."?


    I came across a post where a study said that women consider it a red flag, if someone doesn't have a hobby.

    In the same post it also mentioned "liking Joe Rogen" as a red flag, but there is already a thread about this.



    I'm not sure what "no hobby" is supposed to be interpreted.

    Like does this person just sit and stare at a wall in their free time or something?

    I know that one kpop artist once said that his hobby was "sleeping", but I didn't go "Oh no, red flag". And I noticed some kpop fans saying stuff like "same".


    Well... we often say about people who write hate comments about people that they should get a hobby.



    I often feel like I have no "real" hobby, because in my free time, I mostly sit in front of a computer doing stuff (like being on this forum).

    But I do also read books and write short stories though, and I draw on Wednesdays.

    well it can be both good and bad imo


    bad because maybe they are extremely lazy and don't do shit with their life or want to do shit and you think if i be with this person i will constantly be bored and doing nothing.


    or it could be that they haven't found something they really enjoy yet, which opens up a world of things for two people to explore together, maybe a chance to grow as a couple if you find a hobby you both enjoy together.


    so it can go either way

    Mmmh not exactly, but I can see why it would be for some.

    Mentioning that you don’t have hobbies can definitely come off as you not having anything to do outside of the relationship, and that will definitely be off-putting for some.

    But I personally would give a lot of leeway because maybe they just haven’t figured out what they like yet. Finding hobbies can definitely be a challenge.

    No, I think the issue is that many don't consider something a hobby until you take said hobby so seriously that it's basically a second job.

    Everyone has things they like to do.

    I consider playing video games a hobby too for example while most of my friends would say paying games is not a 'real' hobby because it's not 'productive' (hence why I said I find myself disagreeing with people's very definition of hobby).

    yes since it sounds dodgy


    I don't know if it's a "red flag" per se but how is one suppose to engage in a conversation with someone who has no interests in anything


    like seriously what does one do all day? play computer games - hell that's a hobby

    watch TV/movies/YT - mate that's a hobby...


    like doing something with your time is a hobby no?
