When writing about this topic, I first looked up the definition of middle-aged to make sure I was on track.
Baidu told me that middle-aged people generally refer to people aged 45-59. Well, my partner Lao Zhang just celebrated his 34th birthday two days ago, and he is still 11 years away from becoming a middle-aged man.
It doesn't matter, though. Sooner or later, it will come.
Some people say that there are two kinds of men after the age of 35, those who fish and those who don't.
In short, as a typical male observation sample, Lao Zhang's biggest hobby in his life is playing basketball, secondly, taking a nap, and thirdly, which is also newly cultivated in recent years, fishing.
How much do you like it?
A few days ago, he took two days off because of his birthday, and these two precious days were spent on fishing. Even the arrangement for his birthday is to go fishing. I couldn't help but ask a few more words, shouldn't I find a place to have fun and celebrate, people refused, thousands of good, how can there be fishing.
One of Lao Zhang's chosen fishing spots
Before I gave birth, I would occasionally accompany him to find a fish pond to experience. But it's not interesting, it's really boring, I accidentally put the hook in my hand when I threw a fishing rod, and finally threw it in and didn't see any movement for most of the day. What's worse is that those fish ponds are generally relatively remote, and it is inconvenient to go to the toilet, so I became impatient to go.
This year, the baby is very positive, and responds every time, shouting that he wants to go with his father, and he doesn't know what he is excited about.
The most important problem is that we don't like fish, and we don't know how to cook fish. Aquatic products are eaten on weekdays, and most of the small trash fish he catches usually go to great lengths to catch them, and then release them again. It's purely playing.
Judging from the voices of other anglers I have researched, middle-aged people fish more out of the need to decompress.
Men, it's not good to be hypocritical, and they don't like to talk around.
Smoking, drinking, and playing games will be scolded again, after all, it is not good for physical health, go out to exercise, and be lazy, and your physical fitness will not keep up. Therefore, after work, this kind of leisure exercise that can sit and stay for a long time is particularly valuable.
Whether it is on the river or the shore, the fishing rod is flicked, and the closeness to nature is increased, and the visible person becomes peaceful. The body and mind are empty, happy and satisfied.
And when it comes to fishing, it's okay to have a companion, and it's okay to have no companion. There's no need to get staffed, and it doesn't even cost much to get started. In fact, I still have a lot of doubts about whether he really got started
Looking at the harvest is a bit less like.
After all, everyone knows that anglers can catch anything but fish.
Fishing can make people focus and become distracted. No matter the wind or rain, wind or sun, the angler will only stare at the float in front of him, thinking only about how to do this thing well. Time passes unconsciously in this joy and total devotion.
Some people even affectionately say that I am myself only when I am fishing.
If you think fishing is all you have to do with these allures, then think it's simple.
Fishing is also refreshing. There are relevant scientific studies that show that anglers and gamblers are actually very similar to each other to some extent.
For example, "repeating the same behavior over and over again at the same time, all hoping to get something of material value, and once you catch a fish or win a bet, it brings a great sense of accomplishment and mastery."
And winning is also a combination of skill + chance, but it's hard to say which is more important. So people forget the passage of time in the constant repetition of attempts. Despite the waste of a whole day, I am always impressed by the few victories, ecstatic and excited
Then post on Moments or take a photo directly to show off to relatives and friends
This same experience of drawing a blind box mobilizes the brain to secrete dopamine in a similar operating mechanism, so that the channel of fishing = happiness is established.
At the same time, there is a lot to be done in this part of the technique. For example, bait, fishing rod, fishing position, water level, weather and other factors, how to adjust the coordination, how to walk the fish, how to deal with the fish in the sea and the fish in the river, and what are the characteristics of each. Such elaborate sayings make the emotional experience of fishing very rich.
And if the skills are practiced, there can be clear positive feedback, just like upgrading and fighting monsters, the more you fish, the more energetic you are.
Excerpt from Huasheng Online's "Post-00s" join the fishing army, and care more about "pleasure" than fish"
Another point is that people who generally become addicted to fishing are basically in a temporary stable state of life. Therefore, I will no longer be busy with making a living and anxious like a newcomer to society. I also pay more attention to how to balance my quality of life with my physical and mental health, and begin to learn to find a win-win situation between work, family, and personal interests.
Of course, fishing has been getting younger in recent years. It is said that there are about 140 million anglers on the mainland. Among them, 25-44 years old is the main force, accounting for 46%, but under 18 years old accounted for 12%, 18-24 years old accounted for 10%, which should not be underestimated.
In the past, there was a young and beautiful girl in my company's department who also liked fishing, and even occasionally telecommuted, she had to stare at the fishing rod while tinkering with the computer on the mazazi.
After all, if you start fishing as soon as you graduate, you can save 40 years of detours
Fishing is really worthy of a new generation of health preservation methods, and another powerful track for self-pleasing consumption.
PS: Is there anything that can be pricked in the heart of a fisherman?
The answer is as follows:
PPS: After reading it, Lao Zhang insisted on putting his results in, otherwise everyone would misunderstand that he wouldn't be able to catch it. I don't know much about the inexplicable persistence of the fishing guy...... But respect him
