Why just men? Pretty much anyone seeking nature, the outdoors, and some quiet time would like this.
Until sunset, when the big skeeters roll in.

I worry that's why the chair is empty. Someone got carried off by one of the larger mosquitoes.
I defintely know more women that could just sit there and enjoy it than men. Now you add a fishing rod and some cold beers that would level if not completely flip the playing field.

If it's cool enough that the bugs aren't out, then yes definitely.
Yeah, bugs are the one thing that could ruin it.
Otherwise best day ever.
We got my wife's dad like a beekeeper hat for when he goes fishing. We'd like to get him back, you know.
That spot looks like it would be swarming with mosquitoes.
Get a small fire going, or a thermacell
I've considered the thermacell before after reading about its supposed wizardry, but I dunno still seems like it can't be that healthy/environmentally friendly. What's your experience?
We have a portable leave-no-trace firepit that does the trick for the evening.

Absolutely. Not even a doubt. Bring my speaker for some music, a few preroll's, and a 6pk of beer and it would probably be a perfect day.
Unless there's biting insects
Adhd'er checking in. I wouldn't last ten minutes in that chair before getting up out of boredom.
I may have to get checked...
Think of all the rabbit holes you can get into looking up the history of the local flora and fauna. It's a sea of interesting stuff.

All day long I'd probably get bored ngl. That looks like a primo reading spot though
Couple of hours is fine, more with a book. Otherwise, I guess I'm the 1%. Oh, and allergy meds first is a requirement
Edit: WTF is autocorrect even doing?!
Daaaamn, is that a Grosfillex Miami monobloc resin outdoor patio chair in white!?

masculinist gender ideology
The mosquitos would ensure that chair remains empty, just like it is now.
switch me to a adirondack chair and I'm 100% about it.
Accoding to the likes, 92% agrees. So maybe not 99%, but still high!
I've heard there are other genders on Lemmy than just men
In our garden I have a bucket with a seat lid. When I love just sitting and watching the plants do their thing
For me it's the field out behind my barn looking into the woods, I built a nice bench out of left of 2x6. There's an insane amount of bird back there, all different kinds. I'll occasionally see a dead animal along the treeline and know it won't be long until the vultures come and carry it off, it's gruesome but very cool to see nature just doing it's thing.

Depends on the temperature, humidity, mosquitos, and, of course, snack selection. But yes!
Too many flies on my face. Not worth it.
I guess I'm the 1%.
Yeah, that looks fucking great, where's the meme?
just appreciate the nice view, zote
Maybe like 5 to 7 hours, but yeah that's some good sittin
Looks like a pretty nice spot. Nice and cool in the shade.
Except for the chair. I don't like this chair. Give me another chair and a desk to put my foot on. Or: a swing.
I enjoy your go-to footrest is a desk rather than a footrest
I’d last 30 mins tops
is that water fine to swim in? I could swim all day with occasional breaks in the chair. otherwise sounds terrible.
Also, eyeroll at all these mEn WoUld WoMeN wOuLd memes. It's like the bottom of the barrel greeting cards at a chain pharmacy
That used to be me. My wife is teaching me about relaxation as a means of clearing the brain so I can be awesome again. Doing nothing for an hour or two is rough work but I'll get the hang of nothing eventually. I could one day be doing nothing all day.
This and some snacks
I am the storm that is approaching
PROVOOOOOOKING BLACK CLOUDS OF ISOLATION
Epic men moment men ftw
Pass. Does masculinity require me to be a solitary misanthrope...?
With a book, absolutely
