​Manly Hobbies and Fuel Wheels

What do real men do in their spare time? Why, they take up a hobby, of course. Yup, between work, washing their pickup truck and watching football, men like to take up hobbies that show the rest of the world just how manly they really are.

In addition to the cool factor, hobbies can be a way to impress the ladies. That’s right, your lady friend takes an interest in the things you like to do and may even find your hobbies sexy.

That right there is the only reason you need to take up a hobby. So quit shining your Fuel wheels and discover a hobby best-suited for you. We can help.

Blacksmithing

Take the art of woodworking and mix in a blazing furnace, anvil and hammer the size of Thor’s and you have yourself a blacksmith. Believe us, this is not an easy hobby, but nothing makes you feel more like a man than pounding a lump of hot steel into something that is vaguely recognizable.

This hobby gets bonus points because you can do it with your shirt off.

Tenkara Fly Fishing

You don't need any stinking fishing reel. Real men fly fish without the modern conveniences of a fishing reel. Tenkara fly fishing forces you to use just the basics, a rod, fishing line, a fly and a whole lot of patience.

Knife-Throwing

With the zombie apocalypse quickly approaching, this hobby gives you the skills you need to survive.

Gardening

You don't need an acre to grow a garden, a few feet off the north side of the house will do just fine. And when you harvest your small crop, you prove to your love interest that you are a self-reliable man.

Bowling

Homer Simpson and Fred Flintstone did it, so did The Dude, so it can't be all that bad. During the 1950s, men gathered at bowling alleys to join teams and leagues as a way to spend time with other men, smoke cigars and drink beer. The bowling alley became the refuge of masculinity.

Today, it is an excuse to get out of the house, hang out with friends and get a little exercise.

Archery

Shooting a gun on a range is fun, but using a bow and arrow allows you to connect with one of the most primitive of weapons. It works entirely on your manpower and is quiet, repetitive and demands focus. Just don;t shoot anybody’s eye out.

Cooking

We tell this to people again and again, men need to learn how to cook. Not only does knowing your way around a kitchen make you a more independent man, it impresses the women as well.

Just think about all of the money you can save cooking your sweetie dinner instead of taking her to Applebee’s.

Knitting

If you didn't already know this; knitting was once a male-dominated occupation. And even after women stole it from us, men continued to knit as a form of therapy when injured during the World Wars.

Now go knit some truck wheel covers for your Monster wheels.
