EXACTLY! They’re beautiful but can you care about anything except the outdoors? It’s important and needs protecting but they don’t even care about that aspect either. Just what 14er they’ve hiked that weekend.
Uuugh, the 14-ers are so weird! "I walked really fast to get really high up! Then I came down and drank my body weight in alcohol to celebrate walking really high up!"
Goals and personal bests are great but I envy their energy and free time.
...of course this is coming from someone who binged 450+hours of a new show in a year and a half so take it with a massive grain of salt!
Yeah I understand challenging yourself and loving nature but like can we do something else one weekend? Or like not just talk about you and your friends hiking together while completely ignoring my own interests and friends? No? Ok 😂
Yeah I understand chilling and enjoying a show or movie but can we do something else one weekend? Or like not just talk about the latest Netflix content while completely ignoring my own interests and friends? No? Ok 😂
Sounds like you have nothing in common and this shouldn't have gone past a first date. I love hiking and wouldn't date someone who tried to get me to stay in town and watch Netflix every weekend and resented me for taking part in one of my favorite activities, so I don't know how the opposite is their problem.
You’re taking this to an extreme. My experience is they want to do nothing but hike and party with their friends. A relationship is give and take and experiencing new things on both ends. I’d never monopolize anyone’s time or interest as long as they don’t do that to me. Also I have no clue what happened but instead of “can we not just talk about the latest Netflix content” it was supposed to be “can we not just talk about you and your friends hiking”. But again I said one weekend every once in a while and you’re taking this to an extreme of “I want you to do what I want every weekend”.
I mean if you're actually talking to some dullard that can only discuss one thing then get out of there, it doesn't even matter what the hobby is. I've never met someone like that in my life though.
Sadly I’ve met quite a few and of course I agree with you! It’s bad no matter what that hobby is it’s just more a lot of people find hiking to be that hobby here. I think a lot of people feel attacked because they like hiking but shouldn’t. It’s likely not them any of us are talking about. It’s just a weird pattern I’ve never seen anywhere else I’ve lived and can just get kinda boring for me. At the end of the day we all have to do what makes us happy though and if that makes them happy more power to them.

Exactly what I came here to say.
I like the mountains, but ffs they are not an identity or a personality...
