Re:
It's not hobbies, but emotions they seek. Consider anything a girl does compared to what a guy does.
Men are INTERNALLY stirred up by their own personal emotions. You can't always seem them, but their results speak otherwise.
A guy who builds something with his bear hands MAY appear to be doing a mundane task until he builds his own MAN TOWN LOG CABIN.
A guy playing 18 holes of golf might appear boring, trivial, until he conquers the course and the demons inside of him that for so long prevented him from breaking par.
A girl on the other hand will elect moments where sparks of emotion are. Few girls can sit at home in quiet solitude doing nothing. And if they do, its usually masturbaing, worrying about something, getting involved in drama, reading romance novels, or beginnginer her lonely career as a spinster.
Men are into DOING things and WOMEN ARE into FEELING things. A woman enjoys sports not for the sport, but for the emotions of the sport. Girls who were into the Red Sox winning the world series, didn't like the Sox particularly or baseball, it was the shirts, the beers, the craziness, the events, the late nights out, the "big papi". It was like a whole movie, or soap opera. But during any mundane game any other time of the year, do they care? Not unless they are there in their pink hats, and big papi shirts with beer.
Women are sensitive, point blank. Their emotions are like a drug to an addict and the more they feel it the better. When they seek men, they to be protected for the things they can't be protected or provided and to feel deeply.
What sounds boring to men is the equivalent of what men do that sounds boring to women. Trying to DEBATE, PERSUADE, or EDUCATE them on it is like trying to explain WHY soap operas are so great, or trying to demystify WHY women like getting involved in their roomie's slutty sordid details. Emotion. Fulfillment. Life.
They're not going to have a hobby perse. Shopping, sure. But is that a hobby? No. Maybe STYLE is a hobby, but unless you do SHOPPING on some else's behalf it isn't a hobby, it's an addiction.

Learn to Bridge.
One thing I'm good at is Bridging. Many girls have said they feel they've known me their whole life when we only met a few moments ago.
Bridging means leading along a path. View the conversation with her like story, not an interrogation as most men are. We can hop topic from Sports, to Politics, to Sex, to Movies, to scratching our balls. Whereas with women, they're better to LEAD AND LINK their stories.
If you go...
M: Hey, what's up?
F: Nothing much.
M: Wow, you're that bored eh?
F: Yeah.
M: Why's that, you just finished school for the year, it's the summer, you gotta have something to do?
F: Sure, I'll tan, go the beach alot, and work.
M: Wow miss original. I might have to pass on the tanning girl-type though, come 30, you'll be a leater sofa and I'll be upgrading to a new model.
F: Ha...shut up.
M: Where you gonna tan? Nude in your neighborhood so the post man sees you in the moring?
F: Lol, no. In beds, at the beach, or with a bathing suit on.
M: Ahh, you seem like a thong girl, like someone who'd show her buns off to the beach.
F: Me, hell no.
M: Why's that?
F: My azz is fat.
M: Didn't you hear? J Lo azzes are in style?
Blah, blah.
Just play around with her. Women are just like they were when they were younger. Our NEEDS don't change as much, only when we get older we ASSUME that age brings intelligent and therefore we complicate things. Not needed.
