I've used biking . . . fishing . . . hunting . . . going for a drive to relax . . . But I'll be watching this thread for some new ideas . . .

If you own a business, you’re always meeting a client. And you’re always pissed about it! Because you would rather be home! LOL

Any time a man wants to go SOMEWHERE he can say he is going to Lowes, Home depot, any sportsman store to look around for potential dream gifts for his clients, friends, himself or family members.
It's equal to a woman going to get her nails and hair done. You will be gone for two hours and the there was a fender bender on the way home.

If questioned I would say I was shopping for a birthday, anniversary, or I Love You gift! Then be sad! Works every time!

Anita Lay · 10-04-2011, 01:30 AM

Still looking, you going to go shopping for a gift every other month and keep getting nothing. PICKY PICKY PICKY....
What if you just want to drive around and get out of the house? Men love to DRIVE...hint hint

I'm not married, just trying to come up with stuff for my fellow married hobbyist! LOL The idea is to mix it up! No one would keep going shopping every month. But you could explain 3-6 times with one birthday gift.

I never cheated on my SO, but hobbied before and after the SO. I remember one time she blew up at me. I flew home on a Friday night. Landed about 9:30 pm, I called to let her know and that I would be home in about a hour. There was a major wreck on 35 southbound. I got home about 2.5 hours late. The accusations that flew . . . .

Who the hell is dumb enough to hobby in their own back yard??!! That's like shitting in your own bed.

I've never been questioned about hobbying/seeing providers. I make sure to do it when a) I'm out of town and not accountable for my time or b) When I have a window of time that I know is free and clear. I'm lucky. I control all the home finances. SO deals with other people's finances on a daily basis and doesn't want to deal with anymore, so I take care of it. BTW, the only time I get questioned about anything is when I'm doing legit things like going to the movies or going to Lowes/Home Depot/Best Buy, or doing a guy's game night. Then I get accused of having a secret GF (as if I'd have time for one of those

)

I had a personal rule about hobbying in own backyard, but it is hard to stick to that type of rule. I've kinda modified it. I'll hobby in the backyard but with a provider who is not local (i.e. within a 30-45 minute drive).

I hang out at Starbucks and Seattle's Best (Borders) several days prior to the session, and after the session. I even ask for rides for some of the days... never given. So, when I actually do the session, the SO thinks that I'm at a bookstore.

I also hobby when I'm away.

Separate bank accounts. Essential. For a lot of reasons. Sanity being one.

I know a lot of guys who use gambling. It takes a while, you will come home broke, and likely smell of cigs and alcohol.

With that similarity is the strip club. Maybe once a month the 'guys' would get together and hang out at the tittie bar. That too took care of broke, smoke, and alcohol. And the stray blonde hair on the sweater.

My craziest excuse was when a former atf called me that she was in town and did I want to hook up for playtime. I heard on the radio a tractor trailor had overturned and traffic was backed up for miles. I drove to the service road of the highway and walked over to the trailor as close as I could get and snapped pictures. "Look dear! That was the truck I was stuck behind for 3 hours. I got the worst luck!"

I have actually told the SO that I'm going to church to pray for her sins.

Works like a charm. She's an atheist so she would never want to come with anyway and thinks I'm just wasting my time.
