Research reveals the one popular hobby men can have that's unattractive according to women

There are many hobbies which might be seen as a bit of a red flag, but it seems one is particularly repulsive

There is one hobby some men are into which is particularly unattractive to women, according to research.

When looking for a partner it's worth considering what you bring to the table in terms of interests, as well as what you'd be getting up to when you're apart for a while.

Different romantic partners will have different expectations of how much of your time ought to be occupied with them.

Some folks reckon they should be pretty much joined at the hip with their other half and do everything together, while others want to have time to themselves and hope you'll have a healthy list of hobbies and interests of your own to keep you occupied.

But it seems not all hobbies are looked upon as favourably and research group Date Psychology decided to ask a group of women what they thought the 'most and least attractive hobbies' were.

Apparently women love a partner who reads, while it seems they also really appreciate someone who knows another language, is adept with a musical instrument or can cook for themselves.

There's a number of other creative and adventurous hobbies which appear to be quite popular among women, so if you're wanting to get into hobbies which might be looked on well then you should see which among that list takes your fancy.

Of course you should be getting into hobbies because you like to do them, you ought to be putting your own enjoyment and self-fulfilment above attempting to fashion yourself into what you think will be a more appealing version of yourself.

The survey also scoped out the 'less attractive hobbies' and it looks like there are a number of nerdy pursuits on there, including being into comic books - which is actually very popular.

Some hobbies are more niche than others, while certain entries on the list are more understandably red flags in general.

The research suggests you should probably not try and lecture a date about the merits of cryptocurrency or discuss what sort of porn you're into, and you should definitely not make a hobby out of arguing with people on the internet.

However, right at the bottom of the list was one hobby which was the most unattractive to the surveyed women and that was being involved in the 'manosphere'.

If you're unsure what that is, it's a bunch of podcasts, websites and forums which say they're promoting masculinity, but tend to be very heavy on the misogyny.

These places tend to spout some pretty rancid opinions when it comes to women, so it's no surprise many would consider it an immediate turn-off.

To be honest, steering clear of the manosphere is good life advice even if you're not trying to appeal to women.
