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
One of my good friends got really deep into the woodworking hobby. His house looks like a cowboy resides there.
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.
if you put sweet baby rays on a $50 cut of steak
Monster!

Shit, I have to ask. What in the world is Manosphere?
Andrew Tate and all that shit.
Fuck, eww. Thanks for letting me know. Happy to see its so low but better if that weren't a thing at all.
The best explanation I've heard for it, which also dips into the why, is:
Once upon a time, there was the patriarchy. For men, this meant they had the purpose of being the breadwinner, for the price of massive mental health issues, since they were never allowed to show weakness.
Nonetheless, a whole culture and identity evolved surrounding this struggle, with beards and alcohol and it being totally ~~not an expression of missing personal closeness~~ cool to have sex with lots of women.
Then came along feminism with the ultimate goal of fixing this. It didn't intend to take anything away from men, but it kind of requires allowing women to also be breadwinners, which slims down the purpose of men.
Suddenly, it's potentially not enough to bring home money, you need to help out in the household and not be a complete mental health wreck. You need to be able to show weakness.
And while this is great for many men, it's also where a lot of men get kind of left behind. They've lost their manly identity or their breadwinner purpose.
And that's where the whole mansophere stuff comes in.
People telling you everything is exactly like 50 years ago, and you should be wearing a beard and drinking alcohol and having sex with lots of women.
In a weird sense, this is good for men. But the whole community is also massively misogynistic, and blaming feminism rather than appreciating it as a potential proper solution, and of course, you've got right-wing "thoughtleaders", i.e. white dudes with microphones, to round it all of.
We desperately need better solutions for these men.
My guess is listening to bro podcasts and bro websites.
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 friend, if you rephrase "arguing online" as "debating", you will see your love-life improve dramatically.
My husbandβs main hobby is collecting baseball cards, but he also makes money buying and selling them (along with PokΓ©mon and MTG). He was always a bit embarrassed of this hobby until he learned he has autism and itβs just his special interest. Now he understands and accepts himself better. And thatβs hella attractive.
Hell yeah tell your husband to keep rocking on.
Hasn't he heard? Collecting cards are cool now with a huge community, and bonus points he has an amazing partner who loves his confidence.
My takeaway is that gaming is a neutral.
The secret is couch co-op
Me:
Lol wait, arguing online is considered a hobby?
Apparently so is porn and traveling, so I guess it's a pretty inclusive list.
her: "hey babe what're doing"
me: "just working on hobbies and myself watching porn and smoking marijuana"
her: 30% turned on
90% think archery is an attractive hobby. Really.
I did a informal survey at work a few months ago where we as a team play archery or play bowling. And 100% of the women staff said archery and then talked about Hunger Games.
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? Itβs 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.
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?
Hobbyist blacksmith here.
I read a book on blacksmithing, built a small forge in the backyard, and put my tools in the garage. It's fun, fascinating, and surprisingly approachable.
I'm into astrophotography. Does that make me attractive to 181% of women?
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...
I need more info. What age women? Stat source?
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.
