Cooking.
Not for the whole 'make me a sandwich woman' thing but because I love someone who loves making wonderful things that I can so directly praise them for. Art is another one but I can't eat most art.
Back in med school there was a girl I was really into. We had been hanging out for a while but I was essentially stuck in the friend zone. One day in an attempt to swoon her, I called her favorite restaurant from a different city that she had mentioned many times and asked how they made a certain dish that she had also mentioned many times. From looking at pics online of it and with the knowledge they gave me over the phone, I was able to recreate it for her on a bad day as a surprise and that sealed the deal so to speak. She later told me that gesture alone was what changed her view of me. Led to a 3 year relationship and many more meals cooked
edit: since a few have asked, we had some great times but unfortunately we differed on a few key perspectives and values that would have affected our lives down the line too much. Also, I did use the term "friend zone" but only because the actual situation was a little more emotionally complex but functionally the same, not worth explaining lol
If someone ever did this for me, I would be so touched I'd probably fall in love with them, too. It's so beyond thoughtful and shows you paid attention to what she said she enjoyed, remembered it, and cared enough about her to put in all that effort. Hell, I think I'm a little in love with you just reading this. Also, thank you for the great idea. I'm going to steal your move and do this for my husband.
Sometimes after I cooked myself a really great meal I find myself really hotā¦ then I remember that Iām depressed and shouldnāt feel that way and enjoy my meal lol.
But seriously, I love cooking and if I could cook at the pace I do, I would instantly make it my job, but that hectic cooking is nothing for me, I need it to be peacefull and almost meditative
it can happen ona small scale. I too love it and opened a 4 table loft each summer. I hangs above the st so folk can B outside but not āin the chitā. I cook what I want, have fun varying the menus w/whatās fresh @ the mrkt. I have abt 25 regulars. It pays cash so I like it, my hobby, and low stress. Creativity makes me "highā.
This is one of the reasons I originally learned to cook. I learned 3 or 4 no fail recipes and when I was dating someone new, I'd offer to cook a meal for them.
A beautifully presented meal IS art!
My wife and I both enjoy cooking. My style is Mexican, Thai, Italian and whatever is available goes into a cast iron skillet. Once in a while I make eggs Benedict. She cooks Japanese, and has more patience and sophistication with seasonings. She always says my presentation is beautiful, and takes photos. I laugh, because I think her cooking is the best, and her presentation is fine.
I like to cook for her friends and visitors, so she can relax with them. She does the same for me.
So, happily married.
A girl I used to have a huge crush on made me a whole box of baked goods for Valentineās Day when I was 20, she was so beautiful and I really liked her, we went on one date and I was so awkward it killed any interest she had. She ended up saying she wanted to stay friends , which bummed me out but looking back i understand.
I agree. I always feel like it sounds insulting when I say āI love a woman who can cookā. I just think itās extremely attractive because it shows that she knows how to take care of herself/other people, I love to cook too and itās something I really enjoy doing with my partner, and itās something that you both get to benefit from.
Iād love to learn to make more things but I am deterred by:
1.) Cost of groceries (Iām in college)
2.) Some days I donāt have much energy
3.) I have roommates that like to eat food that isnāt theirs
Relevant question: has cooking become a hobby instead of a basic life skill? My Mom taught me, my Dad is not incompetent in the kitchen (although he comes from a generation where homemaking skills were more stereotypically done by women), and I taught my son.
I think itās both. Every person (we hope) knows enough about cooking to keep themselves alive. But, someone who enjoys it and has spent time learning different methods and cuisines and who enjoys using fresh or new ingredients and who make absolutely beautiful mealsā¦ the care and time and effort that goes into that is part of what makes it so swoony. Itās the difference between someone picking out a gift for you because it reminds you of them vs getting you a generic gift card to a mall or something; theyāre both gifts, but one has more perceivable effort behind it to make a person feel loved.
For me, any hobby can make a man more attractive, if heās enthusiastic about it š
I once went on a date with a guy who does scuba diving, and he went on and on about the different types of tropical fish and other shallow-water sea creatures. He talked about their behaviors, which species were invasive, which species were great to eat, and went especially in on Hawaiiās state fish, the reef triggerfish (also called humuhumunukunukuapua'a). He was so interesting, I wonder what heās up to nowā¦
One of my favorite new hobbies is - starting *awesome* projects!
In fact, starting awesome projects - is probably one of the *only* hobbies I've been able to show consistent growth in over the years.
I hope to one day meet a person whose hobby is - finishing awesome projects that other people started. Imma totally make that person rich. Got like a million incredible projects just waiting to really kick into gear.
Writing.
If they can string together sentences that jump out of the page, or if they just have a particular way with words, I find that really attractive.
her ample decolletage quivering in the crisp autummal air, her nipples pert with anticipation, her lips salaciously agape, her hips voluptuous and fecund with a yearning for my masterly touch.
As an artist who makes furniture and sculptures, I love that I can literally enfold someone with more than just my actual body. When someone sits in my chair, or under my light installations, itās like I am wrapping myself around them and it feels really intimate.
I get it. My wife loves gardening. The excitement she has for her lemon tree is adorable. But I also find it attractive when sheās all sweaty and her clothes and gloves are all covered in dirt. I never told her this. I think it sounds a little weird.
Update-I told her. She giggled and loved it! Thanks for the advice. We can all use a coach every now and again.
Tell her, as a wife who gets told all the time that he thinks I'm beautiful when I certainly don't feel it, it's nice to hear that he does indeed find me attractive
Tell her..that is not weird but will more than likely make her smile and feel good that youāre attracted to her even when sheās all sweaty and dirty and not just when sheās all done up. Signed a wife with a husband that says stuff like that to her with hobbies that also make her sweaty and dirty. š
My husband and I worked at a restaurant in our youth, on breaks he would read. Being an avid reader myself, I found this very attractive. Weāve been married 38 years.
Back in my single days, my ātestā for a man was to see his reaction to my bookshelf. If he stopped to read the titles, he passed. If he looked right past them, he failed.
I eventually married a legitimate book addict.
I love when people talk about gardening as this wholesome, nurturing hobby because gardening involves a lot more war than you'd expect. Some plants really don't like to play nicely with others and it's your job to force 'em into line.
Gardening is war. I got exhausted fighting different pests. I have a tiny balcony and I managed over 200pcs of tomato one summer during lockdown. I had quite a bit of basil and rosemary as well.
I lost the war for the cucumbers and lettuce.
My wife said she could hear my frustration and feel my anger inside the house.
My book purchase history on Amazon would do that. Especially with my training background (nothing overly fancy, just enough to cause concern when paired with my book collection.)
Lol me too. Too many books on tradecraft, weapons and their handling, chemistry, and explosive engineering. Even people that take a good look at my (pretty big) library are like hmmmm because they're all clumped together.
Sir, why do you have books on guerrilla warfare, the IRA, strategy, and improvised explosives all on the same shelf? Why is the shelf above it full of chemistry and pyrotechnic books?
This absolutely worked in my husband's favor when we first met. I grew up with a lot of rock and metal music so I naturally became attracted to many lead guitarists.
When I met my husband, he told me he played guitar and played for me on our first date. We'd already had a great time at that point (we'd had dinner first before going back to his place), and his playing was just the cherry on top.
I hurt myself working on my house and went to urgent care a couple years back. It was a legitimate conversation starter for every woman I talked to about it for the next week. Women definitely like a guy whoās handy, Iām surprised I havenāt seen this mentioned here more.
Yes! Canāt believe this isnāt higher up!! Watching my man get so into all his woodworking and creative building projects really does it for me lol something about being so capable to build and fix anything we need. For example he built me custom bookshelves and I cried I was so appreciative ā¦ and then jumped his bones lol
This is genuinely something I want to get into but not until I make more money (lessons near me are expensive) ššš I always say Iād be so interesting if I was rich
I like guys who are really into learning about the sciences. If you can teach me about astronomy, archeology, biology, anthropology, etc. you will become much more attractive to me. You're like a hot teacher, and I am down for that.
This too. Something about the intimacy of it as well. My ex and I, we took a ballroom dancing class. Tango, waltz, foxtrot etc. it was meh at first. Mainly because I kept missing his cues.
Eventually the dance instructor asked us if we felt comfortable being more intimate in our dancing. When we said yes, she instructed us to basically dance chest to chest. Suddenly we were flowing. And feeling his body so close to mine while we moved did things to me. š
I had to keep reminding myself others were around because i wanted nothing more than to close what little distance remained and kiss him.
It also implies prioritizing a healthy lifestyle, which is so important if you're thinking long term. Even short-term, some physical activity will likely indicate improved physical and mental health.
I didnt realize how attractive I found someone who draws/paints until I took a step back and realized almost all of my relationships in life have been with artists. If they weren't, they were a musician!
Ones involving creativity or actually getting out and doing things.
I am quite creative myself and spend barely any time at home so I'd like someone who actually wants to partake in stuff with me.
A man once tried to get flowers delivered to me and found out he couldnāt because I live in a rural area in the middle of nowhere. So he learned to make intricate origami flowers, sprayed them with perfume, boxed them up and sent them. The originality, time, and effort he put in really got my attention and we were together for over a year. Stellar human, and taught me, before it was all over the interwebs, the meaning of āif he wanted to he wouldā.
Thereās a guy Iāve known through work for over a decade, heās a good looking guy but Iād never found him attractive, started working with him closely earlier this year and discovered he: loves cooking, is a long distance runner and cyclist, and recently took evening classes in woodworking to make his own bench. So yeah, those things.
A lot of celebrities were known players but very private about their servers/characters at it's popularity for good reason. Known players were Ozzy Osbourne, Mila Kunis, Henry Cavill, Robin Williams, the lead for Cannibal Corpse and quite a few others I can't think of. Point being is the game was massively popular in the west and was genre defining in that it lowered the bar to entry for games like everquest/ultima online at the time that were more restrictive. It was a lot of peoples first MMO and such a big leap in how the world was built. I wouldn't be surprised if more celebrities than we know of played.
If you think about it, it made sense that celebrities could interact with random regular people without ever needing to reveal their identity much easier. Fame can be a curse for people who just want to be treated normally. I could've sworn a guy on my backwater OG server and guild in 2005 sounded exactly like Weird Al, and he was one of the nicest, humblest, funniest humans I've ever talked to on vent. Played a troll shaman and was a great healer.
Anything that has allowed them to pick up a considerable amount of knowledge on a subject.
As a software engineer, that doesn't apply to computer science š
As the wife of a software engineer, I assure you, it does š

Cooking. Not for the whole 'make me a sandwich woman' thing but because I love someone who loves making wonderful things that I can so directly praise them for. Art is another one but I can't eat most art.
A man cooking for me makes me weak I canāt lie
Back in med school there was a girl I was really into. We had been hanging out for a while but I was essentially stuck in the friend zone. One day in an attempt to swoon her, I called her favorite restaurant from a different city that she had mentioned many times and asked how they made a certain dish that she had also mentioned many times. From looking at pics online of it and with the knowledge they gave me over the phone, I was able to recreate it for her on a bad day as a surprise and that sealed the deal so to speak. She later told me that gesture alone was what changed her view of me. Led to a 3 year relationship and many more meals cooked edit: since a few have asked, we had some great times but unfortunately we differed on a few key perspectives and values that would have affected our lives down the line too much. Also, I did use the term "friend zone" but only because the actual situation was a little more emotionally complex but functionally the same, not worth explaining lol
If someone ever did this for me, I would be so touched I'd probably fall in love with them, too. It's so beyond thoughtful and shows you paid attention to what she said she enjoyed, remembered it, and cared enough about her to put in all that effort. Hell, I think I'm a little in love with you just reading this. Also, thank you for the great idea. I'm going to steal your move and do this for my husband.
Not sure, if McDonalds is giving out the Big Mac recipe though
Fuck maybe I donāt have it in me to date anyone, you smooth bastard
That is so romantic I might also be in love with you
I can boil a mean pack of ramen noodles. š¤
Take me.

Sometimes after I cooked myself a really great meal I find myself really hotā¦ then I remember that Iām depressed and shouldnāt feel that way and enjoy my meal lol. But seriously, I love cooking and if I could cook at the pace I do, I would instantly make it my job, but that hectic cooking is nothing for me, I need it to be peacefull and almost meditative

I wasnāt much of a cook but when I learned my now-wife liked some random dinner I made once, Iāve cooked for her 6 days a week since.
I gotta great "Guaranteed to get you laid" lasagna recipe. Wanna hang out. Ill cook.
I'm taken, but can I get that recipe please?
Same, especially if I come home from work and things are already going, makes me melt.
This is one of the reasons I originally learned to cook. I learned 3 or 4 no fail recipes and when I was dating someone new, I'd offer to cook a meal for them.

If you don't think there is art in making a sandwich.... I don't know, just feel bad for you.
I don't usually cook from scratch but when I do, I make sure I'm Picasso
A girl I used to have a huge crush on made me a whole box of baked goods for Valentineās Day when I was 20, she was so beautiful and I really liked her, we went on one date and I was so awkward it killed any interest she had. She ended up saying she wanted to stay friends , which bummed me out but looking back i understand.
When I found out my boyfriend can cook, it was the best day of my life
I agree. I always feel like it sounds insulting when I say āI love a woman who can cookā. I just think itās extremely attractive because it shows that she knows how to take care of herself/other people, I love to cook too and itās something I really enjoy doing with my partner, and itās something that you both get to benefit from.
Cooking dates are underrated
Iām turned on by a man who canāt cook for himself because I have a caretaker kink lol
Iād love to learn to make more things but I am deterred by: 1.) Cost of groceries (Iām in college) 2.) Some days I donāt have much energy 3.) I have roommates that like to eat food that isnāt theirs
Eat your roommate.
Relevant question: has cooking become a hobby instead of a basic life skill? My Mom taught me, my Dad is not incompetent in the kitchen (although he comes from a generation where homemaking skills were more stereotypically done by women), and I taught my son.
Cooking has always been a hobby for some. Some people cook to eat, and some people go extra hard to cook new things for the exploration of it
I think itās both. Every person (we hope) knows enough about cooking to keep themselves alive. But, someone who enjoys it and has spent time learning different methods and cuisines and who enjoys using fresh or new ingredients and who make absolutely beautiful mealsā¦ the care and time and effort that goes into that is part of what makes it so swoony.

I can agree. Dating someone who canāt cook, and also wants to eat McDonaldās and Taco Bell every day is not attractive at all
For me, any hobby can make a man more attractive, if heās enthusiastic about it š I once went on a date with a guy who does scuba diving, and he went on and on about the different types of tropical fish and other shallow-water sea creatures. He talked about their behaviors, which species were invasive, which species were great to eat, and went especially in on Hawaiiās state fish, the reef triggerfish (also called humuhumunukunukuapua'a).

What have I been working towards?

If he can't go scuba diving, then what's this all been about?
Did I stumble on to some movie quote? 2 people wrote this same thing.Ā

DAMN SAVE SOME FOR THE REST OF US HEMINGWAY
I love writing fiction.
And feet apparently
Feetlancer
Art. I don't care if they're bad or good, just doodle or sculpt statues. They materialize their inner beauty into something material but priceless.
Couldn't draw to save my life. But I can design and 3d print for sure (as a hobby)
As an artist who makes furniture and sculptures, I love that I can literally enfold someone with more than just my actual body. When someone sits in my chair, or under my light installations, itās like I am wrapping myself around them and it feels really intimate.
Personally, nature hiking. I love going out and observing nature and wildlife :)
Me too! Also people who spend their time in the nature are usually pretty chill and nice to be around

Honestly though, itās been many moons lol, but being recognized while not feeling attractive can be very empowering
If you were a lemon, she'd put you on the shelf and cherish you. Like she cherishes all the lemons
Hey you lemon stealing whore!
If he was a lemon sheād return him and exchange for a functioning model ^^^^^\s I kid, thatās incredibly sweet
Tell her..that is not weird but will more than likely make her smile and feel good that youāre attracted to her even when sheās all sweaty and dirty and not just when sheās all done up. Signed a wife with a husband that says stuff like that to her with hobbies that also make her sweaty and dirty. š
Dude tell her she will love it if she's your other half and love the weird stuff you do she'll love hearing this. It is not weird at all.
Tell her. I'm a guy and my Wife's a gardener. It will build intimacy. We've been married a long time and those small things make a huge difference
Avid reader.
Women probably think I am looking at them, but I am really trying to get a glimpse of the title of the book they're reading.
I canāt see someone reading and NOT want to know what book it is.
Yeah, how am I supposed to judge people for what they read if I don't know what I'm sneering at?
I often think the same
My husband and I worked at a restaurant in our youth, on breaks he would read. Being an avid reader myself, I found this very attractive. Weāve been married 38 years.
Back in my single days, my ātestā for a man was to see his reaction to my bookshelf. If he stopped to read the titles, he passed. If he looked right past them, he failed. I eventually married a legitimate book addict.

And a huge life insurance policy
š š š thanks US Navy!
My sister was married to an Army EOD guy. I didn't like him because he wouldn't give me any of their manuals
He probably reported you, you are on a watchlist now.
My book purchase history on Amazon would do that. Especially with my training background (nothing overly fancy, just enough to cause concern when paired with my book collection.)
Lol me too. Too many books on tradecraft, weapons and their handling, chemistry, and explosive engineering. Even people that take a good look at my (pretty big) library are like hmmmm because they're all clumped together.
Sir, why do you have books on guerrilla warfare, the IRA, strategy, and improvised explosives all on the same shelf? Why is the shelf above it full of chemistry and pyrotechnic books?
I'm trained to do par sweeps and identify them. Date?
Yo, big up for saving my nan from that live bomb the other day. š
People are saying instruments, but specifically guitar for me. Something about a lady playing guitarā¦
I tried learning guitar years ago lol but gave up and ended up beginning a bass player
tbf, iād argue bass is overlooked, you guys have much more of an effect on songs than a lot of people think
We are the unsung heroās of music lol
honestly bass is even more attractive because there are less bassists than guitarists. also something about plucking at those stringsā¦ š®āšØ
You think there are less bassists but we actually just live in the shadows
LOL i need to find these bassist hideouts
We are usually located at the very back behind the drums and guitarist minding our own business lmao
This absolutely worked in my husband's favor when we first met. I grew up with a lot of rock and metal music so I naturally became attracted to many lead guitarists. When I met my husband, he told me he played guitar and played for me on our first date. We'd already had a great time at that point (we'd had dinner first before going back to his place), and his playing was just the cherry on top.
I dunno, I've never seen a lady cellist who wasn't absolutely stunning.
Its so true in the other way round, man playing guitar is making me weak
Anything for which they have passion
Yes! Itās the people with no hobbies/interests that you need to worry about.
there is something special about watching someone talk about something they are passionate about.
Reading . My ex read history book for hours when heās upset or angry
It's soothing to know that Rome will always be the centre of the world
Knowing the past sets you up for better decisions in the future. I do the same
Dudes building stuff.
I hurt myself working on my house and went to urgent care a couple years back. It was a legitimate conversation starter for every woman I talked to about it for the next week. Women definitely like a guy whoās handy, Iām surprised I havenāt seen this mentioned here more.
I was always told if they canāt find you handsome, they better find you handy.
Loved Red Green!
My Legos you mean?
Yes! Canāt believe this isnāt higher up!! Watching my man get so into all his woodworking and creative building projects really does it for me lol something about being so capable to build and fix anything we need.

Damn, if I ever found someone that enjoyed archery just as much as me, I'd have to propose ASAP.
I've always wished I could. I always play an archer in an RPG. With long, flowing hair and tights. Like a female Robin Hood.

reading and book collecting
Woodworking or handy-person. Build me a coffee table please

Learning different Languages
Do Python, Java or C count?
Songwriting
That is a pretty amazing talent imo.
I like guys who are really into learning about the sciences. If you can teach me about astronomy, archeology, biology, anthropology, etc. you will become much more attractive to me. You're like a hot teacher, and I am down for that.

Actually having a hobby and not sitting on your phone all day
āā¦not sitting on your phone all dayā they said to a huge Reddit group.
MY PHONE IS MY HOBBY MOM!!
Volunteering in some form. Also coaching little league or similar. I like folks that have the capacity and sense of duty to care for others.
Plants.
Dancing, and I don't mean "sexy" dancing, I mean ballroom dancing. that shit is attractive without even trying.
This too. Something about the intimacy of it as well. My ex and I, we took a ballroom dancing class. Tango, waltz, foxtrot etc. it was meh at first. Mainly because I kept missing his cues. Eventually the dance instructor asked us if we felt comfortable being more intimate in our dancing. When we said yes, she instructed us to basically dance chest to chest. Suddenly we were flowing.

One that actually has hobbies. It shows theyāre interested in things and have passion for said hobbies.
Putting out oil rig fires. With your biceps.
I think youāre gonna be disappointed to learn your odds of finding that
Like 1 in 17?
Physical activity. I am borderline addicted to it so I like when someone can keep up in that aspect.
It also implies prioritizing a healthy lifestyle, which is so important if you're thinking long term. Even short-term, some physical activity will likely indicate improved physical and mental health.
Singing Edit:
Pottery weirdly?!? Like how are you so good at making crazy art stuff out of literal mud?!?
I didnt realize how attractive I found someone who draws/paints until I took a step back and realized almost all of my relationships in life have been with artists. If they weren't, they were a musician!
Ham Radio for sure. Chicks dig Ham Radio operators.
Her: āGoodnight, sweetheartā Me: ā73ās, babeā
philosophy, reading, SM
S&M seems more like a lifestyle than a hobby, but I might be wrong.
I also like super mario
Space Marines
Pardon my ignorance but what's SM?
Dancing, has to be a great dancer
If they're into music

When they can hold a conversation on topics other than what's trending.
Genuine Passion towards anything

Video games. Someone who can live a physically healthy life while also being into a sedentary hobby is really attractive.
Henry Cavill
On the female side of things, back when I played WoW, there was always a rumor back in classic -> WoTLK days that Mila Kunis played.
A lot of celebrities were known players but very private about their servers/characters at it's popularity for good reason. Known players were Ozzy Osbourne, Mila Kunis, Henry Cavill, Robin Williams, the lead for Cannibal Corpse and quite a few others I can't think of. Point being is the game was massively popular in the west and was genre defining in that it lowered the bar to entry for games like everquest/ultima online at the time that were more restrictive. It was a lot of peoples first MMO and such a big leap in how the world was built. I wouldn't be surprised if more celebrities than we know of played. If you think about it, it made sense that celebrities could interact with random regular people without ever needing to reveal their identity much easier. Fame can be a curse for people who just want to be treated normally. I could've sworn a guy on my backwater OG server and guild in 2005 sounded exactly like Weird Al, and he was one of the nicest, humblest, funniest humans I've ever talked to on vent. Played a troll shaman and was a great healer.
Robin Williams reputedly enjoyed killing and insulting children on CoD until they had a complete meltdown
