This world is cruel…

Got reading and foreign languages, woohoo!

most attractive for women

*groans* So much for my gay ass...

I think this is cool. Many of these are accessible and cheap. Most of these are "do you get out of the house and spend time on something" which is obvious. Looks like most hobbies are attractive, like even anime and cosplay have 1 out of 4 women who is into that and finds it attractive.

I also love the huge correlation between the top 15 and what men think is the top 15, the main difference is that men didn't think hobbies were attractive enough.

I'd love to see the reversed list for what men think are attractive hobbies for a woman!

I love how some of those hobbies are literally just chores but fun

DMing for D&D isn’t here? Damn it.

Don't think this applies to lemmy

If anyone wants to learn to blacksmith Black bear forge has a good into series https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHta7NIJ9npbTNOR4JQW_IlDnCTxM2wV4

And lemmy has a blacksmithing community that could use more posts

More like "things women want attractive people to be into"

Any women here who can give insight on why woodworking is attractive? I thought my hands would be too grimy with sharpening grit, everything covered in chips and shavings and my hands covered in scars for it to be considered attractive.

Also do you find power tools or hand tools more attractive?

That's because I hog all the printing time.

Also, psa 4 men, if you just do cooking you'll be swimming.

Here is the source so you can feel bad about yourself

"Reading"

Strangely enough, reading RPG and skirmish game rulebooks doesn't seem to fit that bill.

Also, 3D printers, get your painting skills ready and paint the stuff you print. Easy peasy lemon squeezy

Idiomas? やった！

I've read manual for my new 3D printer but it was in a foreign language so I had to cook up a way to understand it, luckily I travel a lot so learning languages is not that difficult for me. I hope that this writing paints good enough of a picture on how it went. I forged up some way to accelerate my learning process so that I could get trough it swift like an arrow. There certainly were some steep inclines which I had to overcome but in the end it all went swimmingly. The only issue was that I could not muster any courage to approach my crush. I just stood there like a stump and stared at her eyes that glistened like stars. In the end it turned out she was a hoe so I dodged a bullet.

"Top 15 hobbies that sound attractive to women"

"Women love when i show them my extruder nozzle"

More accurately, top 15 lesbian hobbies

What about my practicing the Art of the Blade™?

My bf is really hot when he prints stuff for me tho.

The musical instrument thing is transitory and depends entirely on the instrument.

Pre-relationship; in a popular band playing a more traditional instrument like guitar with a bunch of also attractive people (or at least part of a cool local scene) = hot

In a relationship and/or solo bedroom producing any kind of electronic music and/or buying lots of synthesizers, drum machines or grooveboxes = not hot

Also note how low "clubbing" is on the least attractive list, so no, DJs and electronic musicians who perform live don't get a pass

What's the deal with this graphic and why do I keep seeing it?

I had 10/15 of these when I was single, and I was single for a very long time. That is how I had the time to learn all these hobbies/skills.

The number cero hobbie: don't be ugly

I wonder where "gay sex" ranks

Judging by what I see on dating sites, fishing is near the bottom of the list. So many women's profiles say something like "I don't want to see a picture of you holding a fish"

"traveling" yikes.

That is one way to say, you think wealth is attractive.

I have traveled quite a bit and I like it a lot, but it is no hobby. For it to be a hobby, I would have to have a lot more money.

Once or even twice a year, is hardly a hobby.

No one should undertake hobbies because they are attractive to someone else. Unless you want to join groups where you can meet people you’re attracted to, then the activity is just an excuse to mingle. But you are more likely to find a hobby rewarding if you are genuinely interested in it, no matter what others think.

Also fails to mention mastery of nunchucks?

What do you mean Linux is not in the list?

Woodworking 94%. Right.

Try ordering a new lathe after you’re married.

Getting high and playing video games?

I’m not into guys but as a woman I’m surprised blacksmithing isn’t higher. How am I supposed to be your knight in shining armor if you can’t make me some shining armor?

Blacksmithing is 88% Was this list made by a metal shop kid?

"Oh babe, I love your soda lime mix. You're not like those other brittle iron bitches out there"

I do so well with reading and cooking but really let myself down with strangling small animals.

Lmfao

Let's see: I love reading, I am learning French, I paint, I write, I enjoy a bit o astronomy, I am an archer, and I have learned how to blacksmith.

Yeah this is just a list of activities with no correlation to attractiveness whatsoever

Edit: let me be clear, I've learned to blacksmith the cheating way with propane or natural gas AND the good old fashioned hand cranked coal fired away meant to coat your lungs with soot like a real man. And make sure you bring the borax cause we gonna do some welds

So a foreign manga reader that likes to work their wood whilst drawing furry pics from said manga, and travels to cons to display subsequent art - is the most irresistible person to women?
(Should probably think about doing some public garden porn photography tbh)

That does make sense.

I read, write, and cook, and can play several instruments (kazoo, mouth harp, washboard, tamborine,...). Where's the women that find me attractive?

But I only got into woodworking after I met my husband!

Unironically, most of the women I've spoken too have found it attractive when I bring up 3dPrinting. It's an active and interesting hobby, and tangible & crafty enough not to be too "nerdy" or whatever. Perfect middle ground, women love it.

They probably just didn't think of it or it wasn't on the poll.

When does cooking stop counting as a basic day to day survival thing and start counting as a hobby?

Tl;dr: any interest is interesting and attractive. In particular if it can be done without annoying your partner and shows your ability to think independently. If it produces something useful that's cool, too.

Is there a source for this graph? Would like to read the rest of it

It's weird that mechanical keyboard isn't on the list

I used to work at a leather shop. I can say alot of women find that pretty attractive. Too bad I'm asexual.

So, lots of Linux fans should be fairly attractive. Like we read (the docs), know a few languages (at least bash), occasionally write scripts, travel (between distros), and archers became a huge meme 🙃

what if I read a ton of books every day but it’s all manga and light novels. trashy ones

Where’s “beach”?

They probably just didn't ask about RTLSDR, otherwise it would be quite prominent, I'm sure.

Anyone have the least attractive? I want to check something.

Expect /r/3dprintingincels (general place for incels that do 3D printing) and /r/dark3dprinting (3D printing nazi memoribalia) going live.

All the nerd hobbies are at the bottom of the list scoring negatives. Linux, video games, Warhammer, D&D and other, etc. this is why despite playing a music instrument, I couldn't get laid.

Does audiobooks count as reading or do I have to have that perfect picture of hipster with beard reading in a cozy cafe?

I used to be a heartthrob like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

And now I’m 89.5% sexier!

It's a shame being attractive is the most important thing about being attractive lol

I'm into cooking, astronomy, photography (astrophotography), and hiking. Used online dating (listed all those things) for almost 10 years and went on something like 7 dates. Still single lol I just gave up about a year ago

Hmmm. More kneck beards on Lemmy than I expected. Then again, why should I be surprised?

Back in the reprap days it was impressive but now all you do is press a button and you can print any size dildo you want.

Surely it just barely missed the cutoff
