However, we have many other hobbies and interests in common. We are both into martial arts, especially aikido. We like hiking and sailing together. We take ballroom and Latin dance classes, go to wine tastings, visit fine art museums, and like most of the same music. We both read a lot, with a great deal of overlap, from science and philosophy, to psychology and even economics, and for pleasure, mostly sci-fi. This give us a lot to discuss and debate. We often exercise together, and experiment in the kitchen with healthy foods. And much more ....
That's cool! I hope I find someone who I have that much in common with.
Recently my wife took an interest in shooting. I had a couple firearms already, but when she asked to go to an indoor range my interest in shooting really started anew. We recently joined the local chapter of the Izaac Walton league, which does a lot of land/wildlife conservation and has range facilities. Our facility also has camping and a network of trails to hike, and we plan on taking advantage of all of it!
In my longest relationship, we enjoyed reading together - basically we'd read the same books and then discuss them afterwards. Interestingly, that shared interest outlasted the relationship - we continued to discuss books with each other for years after the romance ended. We also bought and sold things at the local flea market. And we'd set aside time to work on our projects "together" - meaning he'd be tinkering with his engines and I'd be sitting nearby stenciling or painting something. I'm a writer, so sometimes I'd work on a story and he would work on his own alongside of me, just to see if he could do it. We also enjoyed going to car shows together.
Outside of date-type activities our shared hobbies are limited to cooking, TV/movies, finding cool restaurants, etc. We each have individual hobbies that we do separately which I think is awesome because it allows us each to retain our own identities and take some recreational time outside of the relationship. However, it would be fun for us to take up a hobby or two together as well.
What hobbies outside of your typical date activities do you do together on a regular basis? Would you recommend any of them? I'd love to hear about all of them. Tennis? Art? Cycling? Musical instruments? What do you enjoy as a couple?
Flat-water kayaking, surf kayaking, SUP, body/boogie board surfing, the beach...we usually do something on the water most weekends. Biking is a regular activity as well. Also we both love to read. We go camping a few times a year. Shooting. Walking/hiking. Car shows (old school) are a love of my BF, but I've come to enjoy them too. We both love music, so concerts (all kinds) are a favorite.

Love flat water kayaking! Hubby prefers the whitewater rapids on places like the New River or the Gauley Needless to say, I don't make those trips with him!

I don't know if we do any one thing enough to be considered a hobby. But cooking, traveling, gym, hiking.. errands. lol
We've ziplined, went through caves, climbed a pyramid.... hang with friends.
We pretty much do everything together for the most part.
This describes us very well. We are pretty much always together and do all sorts of stuff but we don't have any landmark hobbies.
