Married people, where do you land?

Woodworking partner: for when you want no garage space, to be frequently annoyed by loud noises, and to have half of your furniture and bowls made of epoxy. We don't need another table, Jeffrey! We already have six. Our home only has three rooms that could fit a table already! You have a sickness! I don't care that it's in the shape of a whale!

Where is Linux?! Surely it must be on the top, I be reading (manuals), "foregin" language (bash), writing (scripts). Right?

My wife used to think that a man who knew how to work on cars was sexy until I built a racecar in the garage, and she saw the parts invoices.

She also used to think a man who cooks is sexy until she learned that I am a GOOD cook and consequently that means I don't want help, I want you the fuck out of my kitchen, don't sample the ingredients they are weighed and portioned for a damn reason and if you put sweet baby rays on a $50 cut of steak again it will be the last time I ever cook for you.

Shit, I have to ask. What in the world is Manosphere?

What are these hobbies???

Yeah my hobby is Arguing Online

Spoken like a madman

Drinking

????

Good news, honey! I have decided to look at porn less so that I will be able to spend more time arguing online.

Why can't you just develop a drinking problem hobby like a normal man!?

My husband’s main hobby is collecting baseball cards, but he also makes money buying and selling them (along with Pokémon and MTG). He was always a bit embarrassed of this hobby until he learned he has autism and it’s just his special interest. Now he understands and accepts himself better. And that’s hella attractive.

My takeaway is that gaming is a neutral.

Me:

Lol wait, arguing online is considered a hobby?

90% think archery is an attractive hobby. Really.

Foreign languages, bet they mean French and Spanish. And not the weebs learning Japanese or the Dutch

Also who would call their porn watching habits a hobby? It’s just something you do to kill some time, like scrolling social media. A hobby is something you can get better in or gain deep knowledge in. Calling porn a hobby is like calling eating, or shopping a hobby. Consuming stuff is not a hobby.

Hello, my hobby is arguing online - are we a match?

I don't have any hobbies in the "least attractive", but also not many in the "most attractive" either...and the ones I do - hiking and photography (of the stuff I see while hiking) are not really things my partner is into. Oh well, I guess we make it work.

I'm into astrophotography. Does that make me attractive to 181% of women?

ITT: people missed to poke fun at "blacksmithing"

Who on earth is blacksmithing as a hobby? Is that even possible except if your occupation is actually being blacksmith? Like, would you set up blacksmithing equipment in your garage?

MTG?

Shouldn't she be way lower?

Sure, people say hiking is attractive, but I can only assume there's a bias to forest hiking.

Meanwhile, I go out and do a four to five hour urban hike and people act like I have some sort of disorder.

"wHy DoN't YoU jUsT dRiVe?" Because a drive to the beer store in the town across the river is an errand, a walk to the same place is a fucking ADVENTURE, Helen!

i'm sorry blacksmithing? I mean it's cool as fuck, don't get me wrong, but have you seen that shit? it's the LEAST sexy hobby by far.

Also, traveling is not a hobby, stop pretending it is. That's like saying veganism is a hobby.

anyway, my main hobbies consist of playing minecraft or factorio like an autist, fucking around with linux, or philosophy, so i probably score, somewhere...

I'm genuinely sickened that 3%+ of respondents consider manosphere attractive

"Arguing online" is unattractive? It's actually one of the more relevant signs of intelligence if one can state their points coherently. In this 3-part essay I will...

I feel like the linel between 'reading' and 'comic books' is a bit unfair.

I mean there plenty of written stuff that's demonstrably worse than anything in comics.

My tuba playing and german lessons are to reap great benefits soon...

Why would you post detailed statistics without listing the source?

Are the 3.1% that like the manosphere okay? Do they need help?

According to who?

I got the top 5 of the attractive list and only arguing online from the other list, so I think that's cancelled out.

Edit: checked with wife, she says graph is accurate.

I feel like this would work better as negative, neutral, positive instead of attractive or not. This ends up putting things that aren't attractive but not negative down at the bottom with things that are actually unattractive.

I need more info. What age women? Stat source?

Makeup? Y'all don't want a dude that likes to look good?

Wording on second one is word, should be "bottom 15" really.

Hang on, the real story here is more than 3 in 100 find Manosphere attractive

What the actual fuck is that?

How is weed so low? I get it's not literally everyone's cup of tea but I'm my experience more people partake or are ok with it than not.

For everyone curious, here is the source of the graph.

New tinder profile: I'm a traveling blacksmith archer hiking today in your town. I'd love to cook you dinner and serve it on the portable table I handcrafted. I'd probably cook something from my own recipe book, hope you don't mind.

Meanwhile pornhub is >30% women, but only 10% ticked the 'porn' box???

So I gather this not about the hobbies themselves being attractive but about what's attractive for a partner to have as a hobby, or even specifically a male partner? What was the question exactly?

Archery and Blacksmithing seem cool, but like quite a small niche

Like, pornography is a hobby?

So gaming is above 33%?

I do a lot of the top attractive hobbies and my wife is hot af.

Anime: 27.4%

Fuck, at least I like hiking I guess.

The most interesting bit here is the relative positions of the unattractive stuff.

Some of it I would have guessed, some not so much.

Funko is considered a hobby?

I am one of the 10% of women who find having a porn hobby attractive

I have every hobby, so I'm average

I didn't get into blacksmithing until after we got married, so I guess I don't know what she saw in me. I guess the fact that I'm not involved with anything in the lower chart probably has helps. Could also be my cooking.

Why is makeup so low? To me that's super attractive if a guy likes wearing makeup because it shows that he is secure in his masculinity and probably isn't a misogynistic asshole, but maybe I'm just into feminine men?

(Also I'm not saying that if guys don't like wearing makeup then they're insecure, it's just that makeup is a visible thing so it's easier to tell that they're most likely more secure)

I read all the time, everyday. In fact, I'm reading right now. 😎

I'm reading comicbooks. Check potential mate!

On way to and from work I am reading a book in Russian (Crime and Punishment/. Now I wonder how close to 100% is that.

I don't like debating being disliked. You don't understand how fun tearing concepts apart is. I love arguing, because I feel it's a great method of learning to understand different opinions and learn more about subjects.

That being said, being a genuinely good debater is a raaaare trait. Therefore, I can see why it'd be off-putting to some. But, don't underestimate how valuable and fun a good discussion is.

Ok cool, so if I have no personality I can just pick a couple from the list: one to get me active and another to keep me creative.

I honestly have no idea where to start. I don't know what I like. I'm tired and I just want to sleep.

I guess my astrophotography hobby has cancelled out my drinking and porn hobbies lol

Funko?

I’m like a 50/50 split from top to bottom

Did that say blacksmithing?

Source?

Reading, instrument, cooking, woodworking, painting - lol cars, airbrush, graphics..., writing - I have a whole sci-fi universe, gardening, photography, astronomy, I can fab nearly anything.

I'm just partially disabled, live under a rock, and need a rich girl to take care of me in exchange for a ton of love. I don't even bother looking, but if you're in SoCal, hit me up lol, I'm still a 30-something until tomorrow.

Manosphere is a nice control

Mini painting not in either list.

Hobbies? What are those?

As I thought somewhere in the middle...

This feels like one of those 90's purity tests. I'll play

1. I read daily.

2. I have native fluency in two languages and I'm learning a 3rd.

3. I'm terrible at playing the violin but I can do it and I can read sheet music.

4. My wife and I cook almost all our meals.

5. I'm not good at woodworking but I do most of the woodworking around the house.

6. I know next to nothing about painting. I'm bad at painting walls and my art painting looks worse than what my kids do.

7. I'm OK at writing.

8. No. I'll help my wife in the garden but if it's left to me, everything will die.

9. Come on. Who doesn't like swimming.

10. Photography is kind of meh for me. That's more my wife's hobby.

11. I took the family to the path of totality this summer so we could see the solar prominence through a 10" Newtonian.

12. Hiking is fun for the whole family.

13. I fletch and put tips on my own arrows. I'm an OK shot with a bow.

14. I made a crappy BBQ fork by making some metal really hot and hitting it with a hammer. I've been experimenting with lost PLA metal casting.

15. We used to travel. Now we have kids.

16. I encouraged my kids to read comic books when they were learning to read.

17. I helped my kids make some pretty awesome costumes. My typical Halloween costume is a hat. That only counts as a costume because I don't normally wear hats.

18. I debate too much. My wife hates it.

19. I used to drink like a fish. I quit several years ago.

20. There are some MTG cards somewhere in the house.

21. I rarely watch any movies, animated or otherwise.

22. I went to a goth club once about 20 yeas ago and the girls I was going with insisted on putting black makeup on me. Makeup is hella uncomfortable. Never doing that again.

23. "Crypto" is a word that often means the speaker knows nothing about cryptography.

24. Don't smoke.

25. Seals never hurt me. Why would I club them?

26. I once injected a marijuana and now I'm dead.

27. What is the difference between a Funko and a boblehead? Why would either of them constitute a hobby?

28. I'm not arguing. You're arguing.

29. I don't watch porn. I'm a connoisseur of sophisticated erotica.

30. I've taken way too many statistics courses to find gambling interesting.

31. Manosphere sounds like a dumb nickname for one of your nuts.

PS How do women feel about infographic makers that get confused between 15 and 16?

:'( i can read

I literally made r/Artisanvideos and I don't think I've ever once seen a girl blacksmithing.

4 from the top 0-2 from the bottom

I have a large garden, love to cook, have a backyard forge, and have traveled to around 50 countries.

I don’t know if I’m in to comics and making cocktails enough to call them hobbies but they’re things I enjoy.

Mine's not on either list! Woohoo! I can go on pretending.

I think it's the original investment focus of Beanie Babies that attracts disdain. Like I don't think anyone buys Funkos with the expectation that they're expecting them to grow in value.

Behold, a divorced couple splitting their beanie baby collection in front of a judge circa 1999

Where is gaming?

I’ve never met a woman who’s remotely into woodworking…

As long as those languages include Assembler, C, C++, Rust, and a handful of others, I'm fucking set.

Lifting is probably the most attractive. Women like looking at fit men.
