1. Because they are looking for something to say to carry on a conversation. Think about it, he's the one approaching so he's the one that has to carry it. Its not an easy task thinking on your feet while doing something that youve taught your not supposed to do since you were young. (i.e. talking to strangers.)
2. Because he wants to get to know you. He wants to know what kind of person you are.
3. He wants to know what kind of date to take you on. If you like baseball, then maybe you might like the batting cage. If you like golf, you might want to go miniature golfing... etc.
Ive caught most of my past girlfriends and dates, in a lie. They claimed to like football, video games, and most stereotypical guy stuff. The good news was I didn't get mad, in fact I was flattered that they would go out of their way to try and get me to like them and lie.
Most guys won't care about that sort of stuff, they aren't women.
Ideally you should find a hobby. Something. Not just because you will have something to say, but because you might enjoy something other than sitting with your friends at staring at a wall.
For future reference, you can always ignore the question and bring up something more interesting.

well how are we supposed to know what you like to do. Almost everyone hangs out with your friends, but do you like video games, sports, art, just sitting around doing nothing. It's all about finding out what you like. I'd hope you'd do the same with a guy or else you might not like that he watches sports a lot if you hate sports, or something like that

Because:
1) I want to make sure you’re not codependent;
2) I want to know if you’re articulate enough to communicate whether or not you do or don’t have hobbies and that you’re confident with either answer;
3) I am probing for similarities to move the conversation into a fun topic;
4) It’s a basic question. You don’t have to have hobbies. It doesn’t mean you’re boring automatically, I think personality is more telling than whether or not you enjoy surfing.
5) any question that is basic conversation such as this one, should never be so stressful that you completely stop dating or lose interest in the guy. A huge problem with dating these days is how microscopic people judge each other based on questions alone. Dating is awkward, it’s not always like the movies, and guys are “usually” doing their best to get to know you. (Can’t speak for everyone but that’s my take).The reason why I ask, what are their hobbies is, I want to do things they will enjoy..That is the chemistry in potential relationships...Just be honest..If you like hanging with friends..I hope the guy that asks you is sociable
If you say "design circuits" or "jailbreak gadgets to make them useful without paying a fortune" or "do maintenance on my car" guys will cream their pants.
