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

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 assume that by painting they don't mean miniature painting. Unless it's Henry Cavill that does it?

where's golfing?

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.

And lemmy has a blacksmithing community that could use more posts

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

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.

DMing for D&D isn’t here? Damn it.

3D printing is not, but astronomy is? Is that even a hobby?
