Reading.
Nearly every woman surveyed—an astounding 98.2%—said they found men who read to be highly appealing.
Other well-rated hobbies included painting, writing, photography, astronomy, hiking, blacksmithing, and archery—activities that are creative, active, or intellectually stimulating.
Even men agree with the results. One Reddit user noted:
“The top hobbies are all creative or involve learning and being engaged. The bottom ones are more about escapism.”
Another added:
“Sure, everyone enjoys a mix. But someone who spends time creating, exploring, or learning tends to be more attractive than someone who doesn’t.”
Still, not everyone sees this as a rulebook. One user offered a grounded perspective:
“Do what you love. If you’re only picking up a hobby to impress others, you probably won’t stick with it. Genuine interest is more attractive than pretending.”
And while some praised the insights, others shrugged it off, calling the list “nonsense.”
