Gender and hobbies: What value do we, and society, place on how we spend our free time?
<p>When I met my now fiance, his passions for music intrigued me. I had attempted to learn a couple of instruments in my youth but none of them stuck so to speak. This despite music being one of the greatest joys in my life. This man could play any instrument, guitar, bass, drums, and even the ocarina. I can sing, I guess, but I don’t like to. In the early days, I loved to watch him play guitar. I would close my eyes and listen. Today, we have an almost full drum kit in our two bedroom apartment, an electric guitar and an acoustic one. (We did have a borrowed bass for a period of time as well.) I do have to admit that the drums irritate me, only in their loudness and our proximity to others around us. But apart from that I enjoy him playing his instruments. I love that he is musical. It’s attractive.</p>
