I can relate to all those apart from writing. The problem is time goes faster as you get older so spending a couple hours playing Skyrim or GTA can feel like a waste of precious life-force.
Unless the pottery/photography option involves another woman a la Demi Moore in Ghost. Not sure the wife would like that.
Hey you like pottery don't you Lou?
I agree but don't be fooled into thinking there aren't sexist pigs all round the world, in many countries it's far worse. It's a shame they have to spoil it for the rest of us.
14 year old lads have their own set of pressures though. I remember random groups trying to start fights with me for no reason. Girls don't get that (I hope).
