Date Psychology surveyed 814 women to rate 74 hobbies from “most attractive” to “least attractive” for men to be interested in, and reading took the crown. 98.2 percent of female respondents said they find it appealing when a guy cracks open a book.

If you would like to see the 15 other graphs they have using this sample group, including what men ‘thought’ women found attractive, here is the link: https://datepsychology.com/the-most-and-least-attractive-male-hobbies/

 

LIT-B wants to reinforce the importance of reading, but there is not going to be any deep dive on this specific topic. Productiveness and a little more sophistication is what women appreciate in men; research not necessary.

 

It is a silly list and honestly, no one should be taking statistics to heart because all researchers are serving their own incentivised agendas. 98.2% of people in the world are fine with any repeat activity that brings happiness and fulfilment, LIT-B is sure. Phooey to ranking hobbies, I say!

 

Don’t pick up a book just to pick up a date——although it couldn’t hurt your chances——actually read. Not everyone can be a bilingual, traveling blacksmith who does archery. C’est la vie [That’s life].
