"traveling" yikes.

That is one way to say, you think wealth is attractive.

I have traveled quite a bit and I like it a lot, but it is no hobby. For it to be a hobby, I would have to have a lot more money.

Once or even twice a year, is hardly a hobby.

"I'M NOT DRIVING OFFICER, IM TRAVELLING!"

Gets 'em so wet

sound of breaking window

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 16 hours ago

That explains why there are so many of them. It is for the WAP.

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 47 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

It could also just be women thinking, "I'd like to visit _____ when I'm able, I want my partner to go with me." Working in a passport office, I've met a shocking number of men who have never left the US (or sometimes even the state) by choice. Then their wife or girlfriend wants to go to Mexico or something, and they come in talking about how they're only doing it for her and they'd never travel if it was up to them.

Anyway, I'd consider traveling one of my hobbies even though I can't afford to do it often - plenty of time is spent planning and looking at things to do, so it goes beyond just the few days of the trip.

[–] ByteOnBikes 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I think so too.

I've met people who are extremely happy living in their small town life doing small town things, then get angry or confused why anybody would want to go someplace "exotic".

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Maybe "travelling as a hobby" as a women's preference with regards to men is at about it being a man's openness and ability to deal with totally different environments, disposable income, time availability and possibly foreign language skills.

[–] ByteOnBikes 1 points 10 hours ago

Ah it's a yellow flag! Boys, we're cracking the women code!

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I'm one of those people. I've never flown, rarely leave my state. My wife wants to travel, but we haven't yet. I, personally, have no interest in it. Just like sports and most popular movie franchises. I just have no feelings about it at all. It seems like a huge hassle.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 12 hours ago

Yea same. New places, new people, and trying to figure out where I'm going stress me the fuck out. A vacation is just a whole week of that. No thanks. I want to use my time off to relax. If someone else wants to plan the whole thing and I just follow them around it's fine but I don't want to deal with that shit myself. It's not enjoyable to me at all.

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with that, it's just not going to be compatible with everyone. I would never date anyone who didn't prioritize travel at least a little, but that's definitely not universal.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 32 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

You can travel without spending a lot of money, people call it backpacking.

It's unclear what countries this poll includes, having minimum paid leave is the law in most of the world. There's also quite a few careers that involve forced time off.

[–] RarePossum@programming.dev 2 points 11 hours ago

College educated US women iirc. I found the source at some point

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

In the US you have just enough time off to be sick a couple of times a year. (If you're lucky)

If you live at home or are technically homeless it doesn't really matter. If you can save up a bit and have a charismatic personality you can go far, especially if you're willing to pick up shitty temporary jobs in places where you go. I had a friend who would do this all the time and periodically return home to work at a reliable job while living with a friend, save up more, then fly off to somewhere for a few months.

"I love camping, I usually do it under bridges and in gutters."

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

"Fun" fact, this is actually why my mom has no interest in camping as an adult. Her family was homeless a lot when she was a kid and her mom disguised it as a fun extended camping trip. The kids bought it for the most part, because the family really did camp for fun, and they were used to fishing for dinner and things, but she said as she got older, she realized things like the month long trip in November were because they lost their housing.

[–] ByteOnBikes 2 points 10 hours ago

My wife hates camping. She needs electricity, a toilet, wifi, etc.

I never thought about why until your comment. My wife moved houses every few months as a kid. Maybe 10-15 times total before before college.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe, though that lifestyle is very unconducive to relationships generally.

I think my friend would disagree. Like I said, with charisma you can go far and my friend had nothing if not charisma

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 15 hours ago

Depends how you typically live

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 12 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

For the vast majority of you, long travel is required to get to somewhere you can backpack. And the the gear and foodstuffs is expensive also. And judging by the damages to the environment that some inconsiderate people leave these days, I'm not sure that you should be allowed to. (I'm getting sick and tired of picking up garbage and hauling it out of the forest I live in).

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

"Backpacking" can also mean couch surfing and staying in hostels or on park benches. In the early 2000's, it was a really popular way to travel across Europe (at least among rich white college kids)

[–] ByteOnBikes 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Is hostels still a thing for young people?

I wonder if AirBnB destroyed that industry. I saw a "hostel" in my city but it was charging $70 a night. When I was growing up, hostels were like $20-30 a night, cheaper than a motel 6.

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Afaik, they're still around, but inflation and popularity has caused the prices to increase a fair bit.

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Or be in a religious cult like Mormons. Of course they will send you to a foreign country and confiscate your passport until your 1.5-2 years are over.

[–] ByteOnBikes 3 points 10 hours ago

Do they really confiscate your passport?!

Holy shit thats what Dubai employers do to keep their servants enslaved!

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

That is one way to say, you think wealth is attractive.

Is it not?

[–] ByteOnBikes 8 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Depends.

If they flaunt it with their fancy cars and designer clothes, I think they're gross.

If they look like a hobo but are highly educated about finances... Aaaaay bay bee how you doin? Wink at me, you economist with a 401K who ties her hair up because she hasn't showered in days because she was doing data science. Spit in my mouth, you engineer with a diverse stock portfolio who wears the same hoodie you wore in college because clothes shopping is hard and you want to focus on optimizing your CI pipelines. Choke me, you tenured professor with a mature retirement fund who dedicated their life building physics engines to teach grad students.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago

I wasn't saying it's like that for everyone but rather in a generalized way being wealthy seems to be a factor in making someone seem more attractive.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 5 points 15 hours ago

I love being in other countries and meeting new people and learning about their culture. But I fucking haaaaate traveling.

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 8 points 17 hours ago

I remember listening to some pop song and realizing that it was basically "You love me 'cause I'm rich". Do you like trashing hotel rooms, going places you have never been? I don't remember what song it was or the exact lyrics, but I just hated the guy then and there.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

I have shit ton of these, man I am the sexiest man alive /s.

These all great traits, I remember to include them if I ever have to go back out into the dating world. Please I hope that never happens.
