Funko?
It’s the company that makes these stupid doll things:
I saw a meme here a few days ago that said Funko is basically just those old Precious Moment sculptures for nerd culture and thought it was hilarious.
People consider this a hobby?
I guess, in the same vein that some people consider collecting anything a hobby. Personally, I’d rather be shown the highlights of someone’s stamp collection than Funkopop collection and I know nothing about stamps
:'( i can read
Did that say blacksmithing?
I read all the time, everyday. In fact, I’m reading right now. 😎
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?

Funko is considered a hobby?
It’s maybe one step up from Beanie Babies in terms of respectability
Up? It’s a plastic trinket. If anything, it should be way below Beanie Babies.
This is coming from a guy who has a Spider-Man figure in PC cabinet and would buy action figure of Death from Sandman in a heartbeat.
Where is Linux?! Surely it must be on the top, I be reading (manuals), “foregin” language (bash), writing (scripts). Right?
Reading the fucking manuals, no less!
I don’t think Karma Sutra teaches you how to code.
Man pages count, right?
My husband’s main hobby is collecting baseball cards, but he also makes money buying and selling them (along with Pokémon and MTG). He was always a bit embarrassed of this hobby until he learned he has autism and it’s just his special interest. Now he understands and accepts himself better. And that’s 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.
He shouldn’t be embarrassed even if he wasn’t autistic. You don’t need autism as a “free pass” to enjoy any hobby in your life no matter what it is.
Is he seeing anyone?
Wording on second one is word, should be “bottom 15” really.
“Top 15 Least” or “Bottom 15 Most”. You can’t have both.
90% think archery is an attractive hobby. Really.
It’s the long shafts…
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.
Or just shooting and shit with arrows is hella cool
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 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.
Nope. It’s 100% Legolas.
How is weed so low? I get it’s not literally everyone’s cup of tea but I’m my experience more people partake or are ok with it than not.
I guess it’s like drinking, I don’t think the casual drinking is an issue but if you start calling it your hobby it becomes more problematic.
In my sphere, very few people use it. And it is mostly frowned upon. Primarily, if it’s smoked. It’s regarded as crude, and gross. I’d say edibles are more accepted, but you don’t talk really talk about it.
Your sphere seems fun.
Well, I guess it depends on your definition of fun. Concerts? Board games? Survival or RTS games? Work? We do those. I use edibles sometimes. My wife isn’t a huge fan. Nobody I know approves of smoking.
My social circle isn’t a pot den, lol. Actually most don’t partake either now that my circle already changed some.
But very few think anything negative about it, it’s mostly just because their jobs prevent them from it.
I know far more people that would judge a cigarette smoker than would judge a weed smoker. I’ve only known two people course to my age that smoked at all. One quit years ago and the other has a whole new set of medical problems (on top of what she already had going on). I don’t know if these new problems have anything to do with it, but I pretty much just assume any cigarette smoker with any medical problem has it because of the cigarettes. Probably a little too overboard for accuracy, but as far as I’m concerned they’re just death. There is literally zero… Absolutely zero benefits to it at all, if you smoke you have only had things come of it. (Would love to hear a counter example, but I don’t think any exist)
Anyway, that’s a whole tangent so let me stop before I really get going.
Suffice it to say, that my meaning was that people who are against it (in my experience) are always uptight, religious, or something similar.
Unless they have a specific reason that they don’t like it, I just probably wouldn’t be friends with them. Just judging it because good told em to or whatever. Maybe that’s just because I’m in the south and I just don’t know what other areas are like.
But for me, you’re either morally just fine with it but don’t partake, a user (with a huge spectrum of frequency and amount), hate it because of paranoia, or a straight up Jesus freak.
I realize there are people who just somehow don’t like it, but to look down on it in general just screams like a group of people that are no fun.
And for what it’s worth, concerts are fun but exhausting, board games are AMAZING (I’m still sad about all the games I have that I can’t play anymore for now because I lost the group of roommates I had)
Most of them weren’t mine but I owned a few favorites and they’re just sitting in a storage shed now :'(
Survival I’m ok with, not a huge fan. RTS though I can’t stand as a genre. I grew up on games where you push a button, and something moves. Simulation, strategy, any genre where you’re managing resources and stuff just totally doesn’t sit with me.
At least in video games. Board games that do that kinda thing are fine usually.
I could conceded that my wife and I may be a little uptight, but most of our group is atheist or at least agnostic. So, just an internal uptightness. Lol.
Man, I also miss having a group of board game buddies too. Most of us have toddlers or kindergarteners now, and free time is extremely limited. Later this month we do have a kid free game night I’m really looking forward to. I have some weird old ones nobody has ever played I bust out from time to time to break up the long-form modern games we would normally do, like Arkham Horror.
I mostly grew up with 2D platformers and racing games, but I don’t play them hardly at all anymore. I think part of the appeal of RTS and survival games for me is the freedom. There’s no path to follow, you just wander anywhere and do whatever you want. Games like The Forest, and Fallout 3, and Seven Days to Die are among my faves currently. And for RTS, I like Battlezone II and I’ve dabbled in some Red Alert. I prefer open world freedom in my shooters, too. My favorites are Battlefield 1942 and all of its fantastic mods, and Star Wars Battlefront 2 (the original, not the EA one). But I pretty much play everything solo, with bots. I don’t want to play with internet strangers, and it’s rare I get people over for a LAN party.
If you want to try any old board games that don’t get enough love, I recommend Score Four, Twixt, and Touché.
Damn now that’s the first time I’ve felt young in the Internet in a while. Arkham Horror was the first “real” board game I ever heard of when I first played, and what launched my interest in it at all. So calling it modern got me lol. I’m not sure if that was the oldest game we played, but it well might be.
I’d say anything college or later is modern to me. Probably why I still have a Windows XP gaming PC. XD
It’s mostly the “hobby” bit, which implies that this is one of your favorite, regular free-time activities. If you are someone who smokes weed a few times a year in social situations, that is a different situation.
A lot of people would find it difficult to be around someone who spends their time smoking unless they are really into it too. The smell especially can be really grating/annoying, and the person smoking often doesn’t realize because they have become smell-blind over time (similar to tobacco smokers).
I guess I was unsure how dedicated “hobby” was.
Do you own at least one t-shirt with a weed leaf on it?
You might want to consider stepping outside your social circle just for the sake of broadening your horizons.
I’m not sure how the survey was phrased to participants, but to me a “hobby” is a regular thing someone does, as their way to pass the time/have fun. I’ve smoked before and have no problem with it, but I do think I would find it less attractive for it to be someone’s hobby, as opposed to an occasional social thing they do.
Similarly I have no problem with people watching porn, but if it’s gone far enough for it to be considered their hobby, then that is less attractive to me, which also matches the chart.
I might be misunderstanding the word hobby, but so might many of the survey participants.
I see this list as “things women would like to have a detailed conversation about with their partner”.
Less “do you use weed” and more “am I going to have to sit here and listen to you mansplain the difference between sativa and indica for the next two hours”
Are the 3.1% that like the manosphere okay? Do they need help?
Maybe they didn’t know what it meant
incel fetish
or “i can fix him”
or both
Had to Ctrl-F to find a comment about manosphere
So wtf is manosphere
It’s vaguely divisible between Incels, Men Rights Activists of the sort that like to complain to each other about how nobody cares instead of actually going out and doing activism and Pick Up artists.
Go figure the guys who treat women like they are sex vending machines who are the root of all societies ills aren’t popular with the ladies.
4% margin of error, is my guess.
Mine’s not on either list! Woohoo! I can go on pretending.
According to who?
*whom
Whom asked ;p
according to women. Says so right in the graph title!
/s
They went door to door and asked all of them.
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.
Often folks will just debate for debate sake, not actually trying to understand the other person - that is rather boring.
I like debating to debate and trying to understand the other person.
Good for you, in my experience mostly mutual exclusive activities. Debating is about finding argument for your opinion and trying to convince the other side. While conversation is about trying to understand where the other person is coming from and relating to their experience.
