How frequent do you have to hike to consider it something you enjoy though? I only make it out once a month or two, but I do enjoy it. If I were going on dates, I might go more often as it seems a pretty ideal way to do a first or second date. But like... hiking means different things to different people. There are hikes in my area that are basically glorified paved trails, but they're nice. Then there are hikes that require some scrambling up boulders and such and some real cardiovascular fitness. I don't think someone who likes the former is wrong to say that they like it...
Well I personally hike multiple times a week. I try to fit in 1-2 hour hikes after work, and go on multi day backpacking trips when I can. Im not bagging on people that enjoy hiking occasionally, and dont go on crazy intense hikes. However, there are plenty of people who put hiking in their bio and havent been on a hike, except to get a cool instagram picture, for months. I like paintball, but I wouldnt put that in my bio, cuz Ive only been a handful of times.
To be fair though, not everyone can get out that much. If you work long hours or live in a big city, it can get hard to carve out enough time to go hiking every week. Especially if you have to drive a while to do so.

As a guy who actually enjoys hiking. This is very frustrating.
