[@simonlange7545]

Reading in general is a very interllectual and relaxing hobby. You can even combine book-collecting with it.

[@Gent.Z]

Absolutely!

[@KlausKokholmPetersen]

There's a fine line between collecting and hoarding. A people rarely notice that they've crossed it until years later......

[@dr._.baldwyn]

Yes, a physical hobby is a must, my preference is fencing,but I agree with you, tennis is also a very good choice

[@Gent.Z]

That’s wonderful. Fencing is also very old money! I only tried it once myself

[@w.adammandelbaum1805]

Used to fence sabre, and was amazed how gents in their 70s and even 80s were still quite skilled at it.

[@mikehess4494]

1. Reading. 2. Taking notes as I read. 3. Watcing youtube about subjects that are entertaining and educational to me. 4. Spending time with family. 5. Slowly learning to play Malaguena on keyboard.

[@travish3130]

1.skiing, 2. Sailing 3.horses & cattle 3.skydiving 4. Flying 5.jeep & motorcycle rides

[@MsSoulProvider]

diving in the depths of archives, helping ppl in need, wearing a suit in street cafes and talking to strangers..

[@ARedcoat]

I am too old to play tennis now but enjoy watching. Croquet in a lawned back garden is an easy fun get together. Reading, try Dornford yates, Angela Thirkell, P G Wodehouse or Ian Fleming. Also Dorothy L Sayers and John Buchan. The only newspaper I read is the Times. Collect books, see above, watches, they do not need to be expensive Seiko, Rotary and less expensive longines. Fragrances will soon amount to a collection.Walk when you can, who can afford a chauffeured Bentley. You see so much more walking and people say hello. Also clean your shoes. That's all for now. At ease.

[@literallyunderrated]

The old Playboys are fun to read. I’m an older gent and it seems there’s less stigma attached to Playboy now, and its ok to leave a 70s or 80s issue lying out on the coffee table. Guests whether they’re guys or girls aren’t afraid to pick it up and look through it, ironically for the articles and ads and not the pictures. Its a curiosity and a cool time capsule

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

Too many people don't see the advantage of volunteering to charities especially donating your time not only will it help others but will give you more self respect and yes you will meet new people. I have been a collector most of my life. It broadens your mind and you can meet a lot of wonderful people. I used to play tennis in highschool but I'm too old now more into skeet shooting and fly fishing. Cheers Ron

[@Gent.Z]

Thanks for your comment, Ron! What do you collect?

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

​@@Gent.Z antique guns, watches, books and art folk art. My wife would say shoes. 😂

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

​@@Gent.Zclocks too

[@Gent.Z]

Wonderful! I bet your house looks rather like a museum!@@ronaldpoppe3774

[@MrFenris75]

I love collecting watches. I have watches ranging from $15 all the way up to $12K. It's fun having different watches for different outfits.

[@Gent.Z]

Beautiful!

[@peterblum613]

My latest hobby as a 59-year-old is playing guitar. I absolutely love it and should have started 45 years ago. (But the second best time is now!) As a byproduct, I have been playing online games much less. And my wife likes my guitar hobby much better. So that is my advice: don’t be negative and think that you have to stop gaming. Instead, be positive and try to find something more worthwhile that you love to do. Hopefully, the gaming time will reduce naturally, without having to obsess over reducing it.

[@darbythornton9471]

1. American Kennel Club (ie. Corgi Club) 2. Truffle hunting 3. Antiquing 4. Watch building 5. Car collecting/restoration 6. Historical Societies

[@kletts42]

I am a member of Toastmasters. I do speak in public, but it also helps me with my skills in speaking face to face with people.

[@the.money.mentor]

Bro, this content is good i pause it when I cough

[@kennethduckworth7111]

I love working with my hands. I can do basic house repairs, i.e. rewiring electrical outlets, minor plumbing, installing lighting, etc. My biggest project was installing both a new furnace motor and a water heater. I can also change the brakes on a car, and as an avid cyclist do all my own repairs and bike builds. I subscribe to the NYT, the New Yorker and the Wall Stree Journal. My local public library card is well used. I love to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. See working with my hands above.

[@thedailyword8370]

Tennis, chess, charity, dancing.

[@qed456]

Wine tasting (not beer !) , Clay Pigeon Shooting (not range ! ) , Music (classical) , Classic car motoring and Polo for me

[@jamescornwell9502]

I would definitely add in painting and drawing.

[@complexobjects]

Collecting gemstones and artifacts! Watch and antique enthusiast.

[@qed456]

To be the best Public Speaker is a strange combination mindset of knowing what your audience really wants from your speech but not caring what they think of it

[@TheThreatenedSwan]

Read City Journal or that other one that is focused on arts instead of the NYT

[@desiderium3243]

Other than the speech clubs ( iv done in past so not currently) I am honestly surprised and delightfully comforted that a lot of these recommendations are in my monthly free time. Although living in Florida, makes picking up the tennis racket and more of a seasonal thing due to the heat. I definitely love reading the paper.

Old money hack: Go to Church

[@garybilbaophotography909]

Skiing is an old money Sport, that's someone affordable. Recently it has got in a little expensive. But it's a great place to meet people And you can dress up for it.

[@Gent.Z]

It is very old money, indeed. Not exactly affordable though and definitely not accessible if you live somewhere where it doesn't snow 😅 Maybe I'm biased though, because I'm terrible at skiing ;)

[@bvans6439]

Spot on.

[@ericgeneric135]

I completely agree about reading newspapers. I subscribe to the NY Times and would highly recommend it. I would add reading physical books to the list. Great video!

[@watchhunter]

Please show me the newspaper which is relaxing to read. I stopped consuming any news over a year ago because it made me sick.

[@Gent.Z]

The news can be a negative experience for sure. Although I find reading it to be more relaxing than anything on TV or social media

[@w.adammandelbaum1805]

Weekly World News will comfort you in realizing that there are people stupid enough to believe the crap written there, but you're not one of them.

[@Martin_Romanowski]

I agree with tennis That’s how I mer my wife on tennis court in few years ago

[@archerie963]

1 - practicing penmanship 2 - bird hunting or archery 3 - playing a musical instrument 4 - pipe or cigar smoking 5 - skiing

[@thechairman74]

I was in the Toastmasters club in college.

[@antinancy]

Volunteering is great for men because it is WAY overpopulated with women. I know because I used to volunteer in hopes of meeting people (i.e. men). There were hardly any. Also, some of these activities required physical strength. The men could plow through half a dozen tasks before I could finish one. And I was fit.

[@jeremiahbok9028]

**sees tennis in the thumbnail** **immediately hides** I took a public speaking class at community college, I found it quite helpful. I found I actually don't tend to get nervous at all with public speaking, I'm one of those lucky jerks who actually love attention. I only occasionally read the New York Times, but I love msnbc, and I do agree the NYT is easily one the higher-quality newspapers. Tennis: I feel similarly to sports as I feel to the plague. However, I'm glad others enjoy them! I do not. Do you play tennis? Volunteering is obviously important and I guess something I should do more. As for collecting, I kind of collect books, which is an expensive hobby but it brings me joy. You collect vintage Playboy, not something I expected but I love it! Sidenote, there's something I've been meaning to mention: you said in a comment that your political views are libertarian. I would love to hear more about this! Whenever it is possible to do the Q&A, I hope you discuss this. Till next time, cheers to your style.

[@Gent.Z]

Yeah I do play tennis, although I used to play even more at my old apartment which had a tennis court. Honestly, I plan on deliberately keeping politics off my channel. And that’s because I want us to feel united in our mission of being gentlemen, and I don’t want anyone to feel less welcome because they have different views than my own. But I’m sure you can understand that 🙏

[@jeremiahbok9028]

Absolutely! Speaking for myself, I wouldn't be grouchy or put off your channel because of your differing political views. But I realize a lot of people would be. And I appreciate that you want everyone to feel welcome here. Thank you for another response! A lot of KZbinrs don't or can't interact in the comments and I just want you to know I appreciate that you do.

[@kevin-jg5nq]

Swimming/bike riding; music (singing and guitar); reading; attending sporting events; involvement in civic groups are my favorite activities.

[@antinancy]

Keep in mind that a good paper has gatekeepers: fact checkers, editors who keep writers challenged and honest. The information is more reliable tan online crap.

[@Mr_Fairdale]

Reading the New York Times? Uh no. The newspaper to read is your local paper or Wall Street Journal, especially if you want to cosplay as an "old money" bro

[@marygoodwin794]

Love this look!

[@rashmibhargava4495]

HEY MAN ,FIRST OF ALL LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE FROM INDIA. I LOVE YOUR SENSE OF STYLE , YOUR VIEWS ABOUT BRING A GENTLEMEN IN MODERN TIMES AND HOW TO DRESS LIKE ONE.

[@Gent.Z]

Thank you! I will definitely be making more James Bond videos in the near future

[@btudor_06]

What made you want to collect playboy magazines ? How many do you have till now ? Cheers !

[@ABC-rh7zc]

Have to disagree about newspapers - these days they are poorly written, biased and misinformative. On top of that, they are not environmentally friendly. Having said that, there are publications such as the Spectator which are of a higher standard

[@larrywave]

Thank god you didnt suggest golf

[@aelfredrex8354]

1. Being pretentious.

[@unmemorableusername6582]
