Is it just me or is it really fucking weird that, even as an autogynephile, John never shows the slightest interest in a single traditionally feminine pastime? Not makeup, not nice clothes, not jewelry, not chick lit, not theatre, not even "geek girl" stuff like Doctor Who or ... well, anything beyond videogames. It's enough to make you think he's just a homosexual with a surgical addiction.
It's very fucking weird, but it makes sense if you take into account John's motivations. John is narcissism personified and everything he says and does is in service to that.
Trooning out is just another accessory to that narcissism.
His all-consuming drive is to put himself above other people. Given that deep down, John is still an angry teenage reddit-style neckbeard, his ideas of what makes him better than others are warped from that perspective.
John likes to pick his battles, and he avoids things that he knows won't give him that narcissism fueled dopamine rush. It's probably the only thing resembling self reflection that he's capable of. In this case he knows there's nothing "girly" he can do that will feed his ego, so he's just not interested. He can't "win" at girly stuff.
Going back to his tranny forum days, while the other troons were practicing high pitches voices and jerking off in women's underwear, John was more interested in boasting about passing and talking down to others.
Even with his nerdy hobbies, he's more interested in bragging about the activity than the actual activity. He's not interesting in getting good at a game, he just wants the high score, to brag about the gamer girl beating those silly boys. For all his Porsche talk, I suspect they're barely driven. They'll certainly never see a track.
Personally, I doubt John has ANY interests beyond feeling impressed with himself.
