Great discussion guys. The ideas that are bouncing around this thread are very insightful.

I don't know what boredom is.

I was bored for 15 minutes once back in 2006.

I seriously don't know what the term even means.

There is an endless amount of things to do, even if it's just staring at the sea (which would incidentally be my #1 preferred choice of things to do).

If your biological father had orgasmed .00000000000005 seconds before he actually did, you wouldn't even be here.

Enjoy every second, because it's a fucking miracle any of us were even born to begin with.

A guy who finds this paradise boring certainly has more issues to contend with than just getting laid.

Rant off.

Here's the thing though...humans go through emotional flux.

I may have loved playing the piano at 12...but at 14 I moved on to football. Then at 18 I dropped football because I preferred golf

Did I not enjoy playing the piano? Did I not truly enjoy playing football?

I think it would be shortsighted to say that I did not. It was simply that I found something else that had priority in terms of my enjoyment.

What caused me joy and excitement 5 years ago may not cause me joy and excitement now. It's not that I did not truly enjoy it, it's that my feelings changed.

There are lots of guys who started out calm and cool with their "oneitis". Slowly, other options began to drop as they focused on one person. Their level of investment and involvement goes up. Then another guy comes in the picture, or they gain a fear of losing the person - suddenly, their emotions spike, and other activities that had focus suddenly become less important.

So you're saying you get bored of one thing and move on to another?

No, it's not that I'm bored doing it. It's that something else simply takes priority.

On a personal note, I used to play golf regularly. I haven't done it in almost 10 years. I'd love to get back on the course, but I stopped for a number of reasons (exams, not being able to pay course fees, other alternative sports that required no money/easier access). If I do, I can assure you that I'd enjoy it as much as before.

I didn't get bored with playing golf, there were simply other things that got in the way.

To play devil's advocate. Being passionate at something, you don't LET things get in the way. Ever, otherwise it ain't a passion.

Now just dabbling around with things, it's easy to move from one to the next.

I've always been the type that once he gets involved in something, I will be merciless at that thing and dive into deep end with it.

I played golf for 3 years, practiced every day, went out on the course every weekend.

I would certainly say that that's more than a dabble.

I think the fallacy that you're using here is "No True Scotsman"...

Either way, the fact that I stopped playing golf was NOT because I was bored with it. That's my main point.

I think lots of ppl have hobbies they pick up and delve into hard for a time then move on to other hobbies.

But i agree don't be a dabbler overall. Dive in.

So you mean there are other things that you NEEDED to do?

^^^ This kid isn't going to let girls or anything get in the way of him playing football.
