Anyone experienced hobby fatigue recently?
I'm taking a break from the hobby for the Christmas season.  I guess after a while hobbyist needs a break.  I'm taking a break because of issues with my ATF.  Her quality of service went down and we fought over it, and some emotions were involved.   The emotional part is taxing, and feel like I need a break.  I feel like the intiative to try a new provider (which involves research, due diligence, and screening on my part) isn't there, so I think I'm experiencing hobby fatigue. Anyone feel that? LOL.

But I def experience provider fatigue sometimes!....As much as I tour and am constantly on the go! It's Bloody exhausting..

I suppose for you hobbyists it depends on how often you are seeing ladies?..

and you are suffering the effects of same.

Now if someone wants to set up an SO relationship with a gal, that's up to them.  But expect to have the good with the bad.

I've had favorites for years and years, and I never tire of them.

I've had a few favorites that things got too much like you describe, and I cut them out of my life.  I had a wife and I don't need another, at least not like that.

I do have one very good SO relationship, but that requires a lot of work, but I enjoy it as it is rewarding.

Hobbying is for fun, and when we make it about all kinds of relationship issues, it ceases to be pure fun and becomes something else.

Then, as others have point out, there is the financial problems of this day and age; and that is a drag on my hobbying, but I remeain thankful for what resources I still have.

That was "hobby fatigue" and definitely too much of a good thing. It's also something I am now probably physically incapable of doing again. lol

Bragging about BBFS several months ago...not cool!  You should know better!

With disdain...

but in your case it will probably take 30-40 years, and by that time, who will care? lol

You're responding to the OP, correct?

I only hobby when I travel (about once every couple months), I tend to play in bursts (so to speak).

2-3 sessions in a week's time, then a work-induced break.

I would think that fatique would set in for a provider more than a hobbyist.  Some of the travel schedules that I read are totally exhausting!!!   I do and I don't understand why they do it!!!???!!!!!   I certainly understand that wallet fatigue, too!!!   I'm fairly selective and would like to find one or two favorites that I can relate to in the hopes that any "fatique" will be replaced by freindship.....

The OP seeks out BBFS or at leased did so once and posted about it under a flipped alias.

J/K!

I kid because I love.

I hope both of you are getting along well, especially you after that nasty car accident.

SO relationships don't have to go bad; my point is only that if you are going to have one, you have to put a lot of psychic and emotional energy into it which can be tough to do; but the benefits can also be quite extraordinary.

On the other hand, the benefits of the hobby are easy and relaxing, but of necessity, not very far reaching, cosmically speaking anyways.

which for me has been the pursuit of variety for its own sake. This no longer interests me. I am very content to see a very few regulars with only rarely occasional new acquaintances.  It takes a great deal any more to interest me in meeting someone new.

Let's name a few (not in any particular order) and then feel free to add you own, if you so wish:

- Mental
- Physical
- Biological
- Financial
- Choice/Selection
- Geographical
- Logistical

Some of the above can have sub-categories such as: Emotional, behavioral & Chemical fatigues. The 4F's can be very tiresome if that is what one uses as the Hobby moto

I can't wait 30-40 years to take over
my inheritance!
He will be..........oh hell, yuck!

He plans to call you shortly. That information can't be shared here.

OSP will call you shortly. Thanks sweety for your concern.

Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing.

Valerie,

I hope you aren't too fatigued during your DC visit

a fellow hobbyist, slightly more experienced than me, that the average hobbyist on TER lasts about 6 months, and then either goes off the grid, focusing just on girls, or a girl, he knows, or just quits, and that the average provider works for about two years.

I have no idea where he got these statistics. Anyone else here this?

If the one about hobbyists is true, then it would be more rare to not suffer hobby burnout than to suffer it.

In any case, in addition to showing bad form with the BBFS crap (good catch on that), the OP also sounds more like he is suffering drama fatigue. I have had a little of that lately - everything being so much more complicated than it needs to be. Not in this for drama, ladies, just fun. Thought that was the goal for all of us, but for some that is def not the case.

Been resting this week!

I've been resting up  this week just so I'm not

I have tired of my wife from time to time. Every relationship has a down side and that can get old quick, but It is possible to rekindle the relationship so it is new and fresh. I can honestly say I love my wife more now than I did when I married her. Of coarse we have only been married for almost six years, maybe the real fatigue comes later, what do I know.

How are you healing? Have the doctors given you a time frame before you are going to be as good as new?

as client who tends to repeat, but who has only humble charms and limited social skills i find that my favorites tend to become fatigued. then i catch the disease. ah well. fortunately there is a cure and it is never terminal.

A lot of people here talk and joke about BBFS and Cameltoe slides - same thing.  You can do a search.  Just so happens the Mods don't like me and singled me out.  So why bring it up, this is another topic of discussion.  Stick to the discussion.

Just contacted a very reliable agency with a new lady.
Hobby & Provider burn-out or fatigue happens. LOL.

get tired of only eating those entrees.  There is such a thing as too much of a good thing; as in hot women.  Sometimes I need a break to re-charge the batteries.

OK I understand I wish you well. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

You were just revealed for who you are, the membership simply made up their own mind as to their opinion of you.

Whether the mods like you or not is irrelevent, if anyone else puts up a post like yours, you can bet it is going to get flipped as well.

and "hate" is such a strong word, how about "severly dislike" instead. lmao

LOL!  So sad, happens to the best of us!
