Women turned to a popular forum recently to share men’s hobbies that aggravate them. From spending too much time on the golf course to always telling jokes that are unfunny, we look at 15 hobbies that women find unattractive.
Going on Dates
If you can believe it, one user said, “I once asked a guy what his favorite hobby was on our first date. His answer was “dating.” If there is ever a red flag on a date, then this is it. We wonder if this woman agreed to a second date.
Social Media
One woman said that “hanging around too much on social media” was a turn-off, and another replied to say, “It’s not a hobby; it’s an addiction.” It is fair to say that many of us are addicted to our phones these days, but the line needs to be drawn when men (and women) are paying more attention to their phones than their partners.
Gambling
One red flag that came up was gambling. While the odd bet on a horse race or a spin on a roulette wheel at a fundraiser seems agreeable, when men become addicted to gambling, it can cause serious issues. One woman was rigorous when she said, “Gambling, just don’t.”
Triathlon Training
One member of the online forum said a man in her work is obsessed with his triathlon training, and he says it is “frustrating that even though his wife knows he needs to get his 67.5mins of riding and a 2km swim in each afternoon, she still bugs him to help with their kid.” While we applaud this man’s efforts to stay fit and healthy, we worry about how much support his wife gets. This hobby does not impress the woman in his office, and we think many others would feel the same.
Working
For some people, work life crosses over into their private life, as one online user experienced when she said, “I’m not even lying; I met a dude once whose only hobby is working. When he’s at work, he works. And when he’s at home, he also works. And during holidays, it’s also him and his PPT + Excel sheets.” Now, that is dedication; if only he showed the same interest in his dating life.
Day Drinking
While the odd daytime drink, with a meal, for example, is not too much of an issue, one woman says that “whenever you pop a top at in the AM and don’t stop until evening or until you pass out, then repeat the process on every day off” is cause for concern and is definitely unattractive.
Anime
One woman says that while she does like anime and manga, she “will admit if I meet a guy and in their public space in their home they show their hentai posters and figures, I’d be a little worried.” It seems that a little bit of interest is good, but not when things get a little obsessive.
Animal Fighting
The discussion spoke of a dislike of animal fighting, with one person saying that “any form of animal fighting is abhorrent to me.” It is difficult to argue with this one.
Vaping
While vaping itself is not a hobby, one woman does not take fondly when people “make their own flavors and modified devices and then blow smoke rings everywhere to look cool.” We are thinking that this would only work if both partners enjoyed vaping.
World of Warcraft
Men and women can lose many hours every day to WoW, and one woman confessed that “My last relationship ended largely due to WoW.” It seems that the gaming became too intense when “We could be in the middle of a quest, a movie, about to get frisky, whatever. And I’d get dropped for whatever random raid.”
Gaming
Gaming, in general, can be a real problem for many couples, with some men staying up all night to game on their own or with friends while their partner sleeps alone. One woman said that while gaming can be ok, “If you don’t talk to me for three days straight because you’re glued to your PlayStation chugging Red Bulls the entire time, no thanks.” Time to put those controllers down, boys.
Cars
Having a nice car appeals to some women, but when cars take over people’s lives, it can become very boring. One forum user said of her ex, “he just wanted to talk about cars all the time and spent like too much money on car parts.” Everything in moderation is good when it comes to hobbies, in this case.
Online Forums
One forum member said that men who are addicted to reading and posting on online forums are very unappealing. Another person responded cheekily, saying, “I don’t want to brag, but I am a moderator. Get in line, ladies!”.
Watching Sports
Watching a game IRL or on TV is a great way for couples to spend time with one another, but when a man eats, sleeps, and breathes sports, it can leave a woman feeling left out. One user said of an ex-partner, “He kind that screams at the TV can’t miss watching a game, etc. I think the aggressiveness over a game is just a turn-off.”
Gossiping
Gossip is not just for women; it seems as if men like to get busy with their mouths too. One forum member said, “Mind-blowing how many grown men I know sit around and chuck tea like it’s not the ugliest thing to witness.” Some men need to spend more time talking to their partners about themselves rather than everyone else.
