Trading, boxing, documentaries (particularly on the Universe or history), MMA (only become more of a passion lately as the skill level has elevated making fights clean, as opposed to the sloppy old guys like Tim Sylvia et al).
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
My family, my career, and my house in that order. I guess I'm a little older than most on this board though. It's all a real man has time for until retirement.
Once retirement hits and my daughter grows it will be busking around the US playing bluegrass and motorcycling.

At this stage I would have to say fencing is my passion. Though I know I will not probably be able to win competitions etc but heck, I still enjoy it. Some call it "Physical Chess" due to its requirement of mental and physical strength. Nothing gets me more pumped than to kick the other guy's ass on the piste. I think it really helped me to build my emotional strength (I used to let emotions take control of me rather easily) and harden me up against setbacks. I guess I can say fencing was where my life began to turn for the better. Right now school's a bother but I intend to get back into fencing after my finals, my blade is collecting rust in my room lol.
Modern physics is fun. A lot of weirdness that most of society has no idea that is going on.Gaucho said:
Question for trading/ buying securities. do you need a cert/ liscence to do it? do you just use a discount brokerage? Its looking like my field will permit me a lot of disposable income and I want to start a fund or sorts. If your more comfortable, PM me with wisdom you might have.

Powerlifting is a passion of mine too, especially deadlifts. I wish my total was higher though. Also, sailing is passion, a big one.Jitterbug said:
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Mr positive and Kanada, interesting to hear you guys say sailing and fencing. These are two things I have to try!synergy1 said:
Now to your Q synergy. I am an owner of a hedge fund in Australia. We require ASIC and NFA licensing to trade OPM (Other Peoples Money). And even then we are only licensed to trade institutional and high net worth money.
We trade through TT (Trading Technologies) for futures and we trade through the big IBs for spot FX liquidity through what is called a 'prime broker'.
If you are going to learn to trade, it will take years and years of full on study and you are probably best to use a platform (execution) called IB (Interactive Brokers). They are by far the cheapest as far as transaction costs. Don't bother using any other retail broker.
Right, I have some of the background at this point and have an overall idea of my strategy, so now comes the experience of giving it a run. The general plan for now is to invest my own money, than work on liscences to invest others as I go along. This way, I further develop it as I start to pitch the idea -assuming its even successful.
thanks again for the information!

Working on my inventions and restoring vintage coin-op games (pre-video). Also resoring any kind of antique machine. There's a great deal of satisfaction in bringing a piece of history back to life and preserving it for future generations to enjoy.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I don't know if it is a "passion", but I have completely committed myself to a spiritual path.
I cross reference my thoughts with science as much as possible, and then through proactive actions I strengthen my inner psyche with habitual contribution as much as possible.
For example, I try to sow as many seeds of contibution as I possibly can-even when I am in mood to. And my constant reward is staying out of the abyss.
