I was thinking about some recreational activities which are predominantly male activities and I was wondering why they generally don’t appeal to women and yet men can become pretty much fanatical about them – I started with fishing.
After some thought I realised a few factors which may be key in making fishing a predominantly male pastime….
- If you catch something it is a chance to boast how big yours is.
- It is said to be a challenge to out smart the fish – so it is probably a fair challenge (have you seen the size of a fish brain?).
- Where else is it possible to pull something beautiful by wiggling your maggot?
- It mostly requires patience (that is the male ‘skill’ name for sitting around doing f-all)

Excuse the URL, it is not the full title of the book.
Turns out the answer may lie in evolutionary biology. I have read it. It is fascinating. It is also just a scientists opinion, but makes for a good read.
Man, The Hunter, has spent thousands of years learning to sit quietly and wait for the herds of migrating mammoth.
The book hypothesis that Men and Women really are made differently. Women are generally much better at multi-tasking and doing/thinking about several things at once. Men generally have a much better ability to co-ordinate spacial awareness and patiently watch a fire for no reason other than waiting.
As an example, It is the case that the majority of Air Traffic Controllers are men. Women struggle to understand/see the radar screen as the three dimensional data that it is. I can't remember what the book said women were brilliant at, I was to busy memorising excuses.
It isn't a bad thing if you can't understand what we do when we go fishing, you're not supposed to. (

Fishing is a good excuse to get away from shitty soap opera's, house renovation programmes, quiz shows and the like. nothing wrong with sitting by the river relaxing.........

Ah remember the days of rod and reel, the old bamboo canalside.
No the real thing about coarse fishing is all the available crap you can buy to "help" you. Have you ever walked a canal bank recently? These guys have everything but the kitchen sink down there, and the night fishermen, well they are just solitary campers with double the gear.

activity - W*nking
Reason - to quote Bill Hicks slightly out of context "Owning a Dick!"
activity - Football
Reason - Requires running around in the winter and getting very muddy with the occasional altercation followed by communal shower with 10+ other men hmmmm not really much average girl territory there.
activity - Watching any Sport on TV
Reason - In our minds better than actually having to do something active/constructive that requires separation from the womb, sorry I meant to say sofa.
