In a medieval fantasy world of all men, what would be the hobbies for the nobles? Sewing and tailoring would certainly exist, but they would still be as valued as for noble women in the "true" Middle Ages? I hope I don't appear sexist XD I don't mean men can't sew or anything, understand me

Depends, you can break all Norms of history and give the role to men, but typically is the medieval days, woman’s were regarded as the ones who would sow. Woman helped their husbands too. Nobles were men in between peasants and royals. Nobles in this time would be associated with military strategy, financial obligations, responsibilities, and social affairs. Chess was also very popular game amount the nobles too. I’d encourage to look up medieval sports because sports was very popular pastime/hobby in the medieval ages.
I think the hobbies would be greatly the same, except maybe there wouldn't be as great of a disparity since there isn't a divide between genders (ex: men could do both embroidery and hunting since there isn't the idea that women are the ones who do embroidery). The value for sewing wouldn't go down in a world of all men, since there's still a demand for clothing and in that world the duty of sewing would just need to go to someone else. There isn't any kind of sewing gene in women that makes them do it more, it's socialization, and if men were socialized to be tailors in their society, they'd value sewing and many might find it fun.

I didn't mean that there were "men's" and other "women's" jobs, but I understand what you mean. Thanks for the reply :)

Chess is a good idea, in fact. Thanks a lot
