Where is Linux?! Surely it must be on the top, I be reading (manuals), “foregin” language (bash), writing (scripts). Right?
Reading the fucking manuals, no less!
I don’t think Karma Sutra teaches you how to code.
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.
Hey I’m the good cook husband with a car problem too.
My wife never wanted to help cook though, she loves that I take it on by myself most times.
And I get the kitchen mostly to myself (though I’m sharing it with my son more now, which is slower, but pretty fun).
I taught my 4yo daughter to answer “Yes Chef!” When helping me in the kitchen. Its pretty adorable.

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!
“I don’t care that it’s in the shape of a whale!” is now my new favorite phrase and I now plan on 3D printing that to hang on my wall
Well, I’m a woman, but since you said “people”
In the attractive column - I love reading, cooking, gardening. Yoga.
In the unattractive column I love comics (reading not collecting), and do like drinking, in moderation (obviously, if you look at my posts) and do collect interesting booze to drink.
Married to a man, he does also like moderate drinking, weightlifting (not on this list?) and travel, and movies (also not on this list)
I feel like there aren’t so many blacksmiths around, how does this land so high?
I can’t believe they didn’t put warm Amber in the bottom 10
What are these hobbies???
Yeah my hobby is Arguing Online
Spoken like a madman
Drinking
???
One of my hobbies is “drinking”. I love craft cocktails and craft beer. I collect craft liquors and share them with my friends. I even make my own cider and beer sometimes. Maybe home brewing doesn’t fall into the “drinking” hobby as much.
Come visit us at !cocktails@lemmy.world
I do consider it a hobby, and would put it as a subset of cooking. I like cooking and entertaining, hospitality, making good drinks is part of that, and historically that means alcoholic drinks.
My takeaway is that gaming is a neutral.
Lifting is probably the most attractive. Women like looking at fit men.
I speak from experience when I say you will get much, much more attention from guys admiring your work and wanting to trade workout tips than from women wanting to hop into bed with you.
A sense of humor and the ability to make interesting conversation will make up for a beer gut or scrawny arms.
I think there’s a line where it crosses over. Being “in shape” definitely makes you more attractive to women. Being anything above that definitely appeals more to men, and for many women even makes you less attractive
Yes. Generally speaking, women will find a person who is healthy and reasonably physically fit more attractive than someone who is obese or unhealthily thin.
The problem is that the point of diminishing returns on actual body building happens pretty fast. Some women do prefer guys who are big piles of muscle, but that’s a minority.
I learned that from experience. The reason “work out until somebody loves me” works is because you’re giving yourself time and learning to be a person who is fine being alone, not because of hours in the gym.
We aren’t talking about that though. What we’re talking about is hobbies. Money would be an even better Stat to have then both the things you mentioned.
“Money would be a better stat”.
Little red flag going up…
That reply is pretty measured considering the topic of women’s preferences was already set. They weren’t going out of their way to hate on women.
People can be pretty shallow creatures, men and women alike. So obviously, whilst money or beauty is not the be all and end all, it allows people to make a better first impression and pass some initial filters. Denying that is just deluding yourself.
Obviously there are always going to be exceptions, some people are actively repulsed by wealth or the current beauty standards
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.
He shouldn’t be embarrassed even if he wasn’t autistic. You don’t need autism as a “free pass” to enjoy any hobby in your life no matter what it is.
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 think it’s more of what kind of people women are imagining as a blacksmith. They’re probably imagining a rugged man in their 30s/40s with practical muscle definition and enough financial stability to have the time/land for their own personal forge.
Likewise Travelling is just a proxy for “a ton of disposable income, and willing to take their partner to nice places”.
