>Athletic hobbies tend to do pretty well, with swimming topping the list. Golf is rated the lowest; it is the only athletic hobby where a slight majority of women found it to be unattractive. Boxing and MMA may be lower than you would expect. This is not entirely surprising from an evolutionary point of view, however. Fighting sports may be associated with lower status or may represent a trade-off between an ability to protect and an ability to harm.

>Artistic hobbies also did well. Only cosplay, which was also included in our nerd hobby category, saw a majority of women rate it as unattractive. Theater acting and building models also got rated lower than the rest of the hobbies.

>Hobbies that we grouped into a category of “vices” did especially poorly with women. Here we report the percentage of “unattractive” ratings. Unfortunately, many of these hobbies are also quite popular. You can imagine a substance-using, video-game playing porn user who trolls people online and watches manosphere videos. In many individuals, the least attractive hobbies cluster together.
