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!
One of my good friends got really deep into the woodworking hobby. His house looks like a cowboy resides there.
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.
Patriarchy is still screwing everyone over today, including men like it always has.
Except the beard thing....some of us get a terrible rash if we shave.
That and the smoothness only lasts an hour or so....what is the fucken point. I wish there was some kind of check box option when entering your teens:
My guess is listening to bro podcasts and bro websites.
Me:
I'm genuinely sickened that 3%+ of respondents consider manosphere attractive
They probably thought it was referring to spherical man butts
I never heard of manosphere before this post
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.
I thought it might've been due to Hawkeye.
Evolutionarily speaking this is attractive because people that are good archers are good hunters, can provide for a family, and also drive off marauding Mongols.
Sometimes I wish I could carry a bow and just shoot the marauders.
Huh? I think archery is a pretty cool hobby. Then again I might be "slightly" biased..
You tend to kinda get very strong doing that so...
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.
And comics that are absolutely amazing, like Sandman and Persepolis
My favorite lately is Bea Wolf, a retelling of Beowolf. Oh! And Pebble and Wren.
Sandman isn't flawless but it's the best stuff not by Moore. Fables (the first story that ends around 12-16 at least) was a fun read after finishing Sandman.
I think they should've polled superhero comics separately from comics in general.
MTG?
Shouldn't she be way lower?
So I gather this not about the hobbies themselves being attractive but about what's attractive for a partner to have as a hobby, or even specifically a male partner? What was the question exactly?
"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...
You absolute tool noone wants to argue online, why should anyone engage in an inrelevant time wasting discussion???
I don't like your tone Mr
Keep going, I'm almost there.
According to who?
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.
Why is makeup so low? To me that's super attractive if a guy likes wearing makeup because it shows that he is secure in his masculinity and probably isn't a misogynistic asshole, but maybe I'm just into feminine men?
(Also I'm not saying that if guys don't like wearing makeup then they're insecure, it's just that makeup is a visible thing so it's easier to tell that they're most likely more secure)
Makeup? Y'all don't want a dude that likes to look good?
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...
My wife loved the idea that I was into wood cutting. What she didn't realize was when I said woodcutting, I meant I studied the blade and practiced chopping wood with my anime sword.
based
What's with the anti blacksmithing sentiment? Most people just find someone's genuine passion to be an attractive quality, wherever their interests lie.
I don't like debating being disliked. You don't understand how fun tearing concepts apart is. I love arguing, because I feel it's a great method of learning to understand different opinions and learn more about subjects.
That being said, being a genuinely good debater is a raaaare trait. Therefore, I can see why it'd be off-putting to some. But, don't underestimate how valuable and fun a good discussion is.
Debate as a hobby is likely referring to formal structured debate, like you'd experience in a debating club.
I am one of the 10% of women who find having a porn hobby attractive
Hobbies? What are those?
The most interesting bit here is the relative positions of the unattractive stuff.
Some of it I would have guessed, some not so much.
Cosplay being higher than anime is an interesting one.
Astronomy seems like the odd one out on the top buch. Itβs the only pure science. Everything else has some element of art, culture or athleticism.
Hey babe. π I canβt stop thinking about the other night. The scent of your hair, the brush of your hand against mine as we installed the new tracking computer. I hope we havenβt reached periapsis, because I want to get closer to you. Why donβt you come over to my place tonight? Iβve got some new toys ππ· we can try out. We can get our freak on all night long; the Perseids donβt peak until 3 AM.
This feels like one of those 90's purity tests. I'll play
I read daily.
I have native fluency in two languages and I'm learning a 3rd.
I'm terrible at playing the violin but I can do it and I can read sheet music.
My wife and I cook almost all our meals.
I'm not good at woodworking but I do most of the woodworking around the house.
I know next to nothing about painting. I'm bad at painting walls and my art painting looks worse than what my kids do.
I'm OK at writing.
No. I'll help my wife in the garden but if it's left to me, everything will die.
Come on. Who doesn't like swimming.
Photography is kind of meh for me. That's more my wife's hobby.
I took the family to the path of totality this summer so we could see the solar prominence through a 10" Newtonian.
Hiking is fun for the whole family.
I fletch and put tips on my own arrows. I'm an OK shot with a bow.
I made a crappy BBQ fork by making some metal really hot and hitting it with a hammer. I've been experimenting with lost PLA metal casting.
We used to travel. Now we have kids.
I encouraged my kids to read comic books when they were learning to read.
I helped my kids make some pretty awesome costumes. My typical Halloween costume is a hat. That only counts as a costume because I don't normally wear hats.
I debate too much. My wife hates it.
I used to drink like a fish. I quit several years ago.
There are some MTG cards somewhere in the house.
I rarely watch any movies, animated or otherwise.
I went to a goth club once about 20 yeas ago and the girls I was going with insisted on putting black makeup on me. Makeup is hella uncomfortable. Never doing that again.
"Crypto" is a word that often means the speaker knows nothing about cryptography.
Don't smoke.
Seals never hurt me. Why would I club them?
I once injected a marijuana and now I'm dead.
What is the difference between a Funko and a boblehead? Why would either of them constitute a hobby?
I'm not arguing. You're arguing.
I don't watch porn. I'm a connoisseur of sophisticated erotica.
I've taken way too many statistics courses to find gambling interesting.
Manosphere sounds like a dumb nickname for one of your nuts.
PS How do women feel about infographic makers that get confused between 15 and 16?
