Social media has gone wild after a list was released revealing the most and least attractive hobbies a man can have.

Earlier this year, relationships and attraction research group Date Psychology surveyed 840 men and women on what they thought about male pastimes.

Participants were given a list of 74 hobbies.

Women were asked to choose if each hobby was 'attractive' or 'unattractive' for a man to do, while men shared whether they thought women believed a given hobby was attractive or not.

And the results have proven pretty controversial online.

Starting with the most attractive pastimes, reading, learning foreign languages, playing a musical instrument, cooking and woodworking were the top five amongst women surveyed.

Basically, women want a bilingual, traveling blacksmith who does archery, knows his planets and reads. Is that really too much to ask for?

And, while we honestly didn't know blacksmithing was a hobby people still took part in, the male participants typically agreed, placing the exact same activities in their top 15.

As for the so-called 'unattractive' hobbies, women are unsurprisingly unimpressed by men who are involved in the online 'manosphere,' gamble, watch lots of porn, spend their time having arguments on social media or collect Funko figurines.

While the top 15 were once again the same amongst both women and men, the survey did find that men massively overestimate how attractive clubbing is to women, with 38.6 percent of male participants deeming it 'attractive' as opposed to just 20 percent of women surveyed.

Shortly after the results of the study were published, TikToker @dylan.page shared them in a video that has since gone viral, bagging a whopping 1.6 million views.

And, while women in the comments called the list 'relatable,' the majority of Dylan's followers weren't impressed, with more than 5,000 taking to the comments to share their opinions.

One user wrote: "Leave my Funko collection alone!"

Another asked: "Why [is] gambling so low? That's all what I do."

And a third commented: "Nah these are so made up."

Others criticised the survey in general and pointed out that it doesn't matter what other people think.

One person said: "Don't care, it's my interest."

A second commented: "I raise you this: I do my hobbies for me not her," and a third agreed, writing: "I mean, we don't do it for the women. We do it for ourselves."

And, one seemingly impartial commenter simply said: "I just wish my husband would have a hobby and leave me alone for a while..."
