"Top 15 hobbies that sound attractive to women"

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 42 seconds ago

"Women love when i show them my extruder nozzle"

[–] gcheliotis@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

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.

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

I wonder where "gay sex" ranks

[–] Lorindol@sopuli.xyz 35 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 6 points 49 minutes ago (1 children)

Right? Just the other day I was thinking about how many hobbies I dropped once I started seriously dating, and then later how many more when I had kids.

My guitar hasn't been touched in years. My books have gone unread. My 3D printer is getting a workout making organizational tools and little toys for the kids though lol

If you see my kayak and fishing poles tell them I miss them and I hope I get to spend more time with them when my son is a few years older.

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

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 38 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

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"

[–] Belgdore@lemm.ee 13 points 1 hour ago (4 children)

It’s that men don’t take a lot of pictures of themselves. Then they refuse to take any specifically for their dating profiles. Taking pictures specifically for a dating profile would show that they actually care about finding a person they would do other things specifically for.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 36 minutes ago (1 children)

Taking pictures specifically for a dating profile would show that they actually care about finding a person they would do other things specifically for.

This is a dead giveaway that you've never asked men why they don't take and share pictures of themselves. Most men in the anglosphere consider it vain and self-destructive to obsess over their looks. You can also see it in the way they buy clothes ("I'll take 5 pairs of the same pants, thanks"), the way they cut their hair ("just take an inch off and even it out"), and the way they present themselves, often with as few accessories and adornments as possible. Those they do have are utilitarian or deeply personal.

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 19 minutes ago

I mean yea, there's no point in faking all that (having fancy hair, fancy pants) to have a relationship that's based on lies and that will crumble the instant you show your true self

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

It’s that men don’t take a lot of pictures of themselves.

I can't speak for all men but I have a complete inability to look even remotely normal if I know a picture is being taken of me. I try to take profile pics and they all wind up awful and that's not just my view. I showed my friend just to make sure it wasn't just poor self image talking and they reacted like I was showing off a broken bone. I think the only way I'm going to get workable dating profile pics is if I have a friend take pictures of me without me noticing like I'm some sort of cryptid and they'retrying to capture proof.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 1 minute ago

I just don't want pictures of myself on the internet. I value my privacy. Huge part of the reason I never had a dating profile.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 1 points 43 minutes ago

Unfortunately, the fact that they don’t take many pictures of themselves can be really obvious. I try not to turn a guy down because of a bad profile picture, because I know there’s a technique to it and that requires practice.

At the same time, we’re in a digital era - you can take 100 pictures and only upload your favorite one. There’s no reason for an average guy’s profile picture to resemble a mugshot.

[–] ObsidianNebula@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I wonder if it is fishing itself that they don't like, or if it is the prevalence of fishing photos on dating sites. I know that a lot of guys post fishing photos on their profiles (probably because most men don't take many photos of themselves but will take photos with a nice catch), so maybe it just seems unoriginal or low effort. I'm honestly not sure, but my only point is that it may not be the hobby itself.

[–] pool_spray_098@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago

Agreed, I really don't think it's the fishing itself.

Half the problem on any dating site is the classic: 1. Be attractive 2. Don't be unattractive.

If the dude is holding a fish but looks like Chris Evans, she will probably still be interested.

On top of that, dudes holding the fish will overwhelmingly tend to look like the wrap around sunglasses wearing, goatee having, overweight, Trump voting cliche. Women probably build an association to not being compatible with dudes who love fishing after enough times of seeing that and connecting these dots.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 hour ago

I assumed it was a combination of "it's really common" and "fish are gross" but I don't look at men's profiles and don't fish so I may be way off

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?

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It's going to be boob armor and just leather straps to attach it over a bikini.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 12 points 2 hours ago

Jokes on you I’m down to model that sort of thing for women
