Not true. Plenty of men are not lazy slobs and most women wouldn’t consider them.
You need to have plenty of things going on in order to truly be a woman’s first choice.
Most settle.

Good thing my wife of 24+ years doesn't agree and sometimes games with me
Edit - my bad misread but will leave quote up as a weird flex for being married for so long
Heisenberg and me Bringing Monogamy Back (17 years here).
It’s probably the difference between a movie aficionado who might go to film festivals and be interested in deep discussion and analysis, host movie nights with friends, go to the theater as a date, etc., and “I watch a lot of TV,” which just signals a passive activity and not valuing your time.I am genuinely curious why is Movies twice as attractive as watching TV, and on par with concerts and theater.
I guess it's primarily seen as outdoors activity and people fail to notice the men who spend 10s of thousands on the Movie cave at home?
Like - my brother has a home-theater the size of an apartment at home...

I watch a lot of TV myself and most nights my wife gets the remote and I made it through another season of The Bachelorette this evening, as we watch it recorded to skip commercials
I know way more about these people than I should every single season of that and The Bachelor both

It lacks the
"Just having fun whitout them" hobbie....
They fucking hate this one
Probably why they hate porn. Because you're not paying attention to THEM.
Or, you're attractive.
Some women (and apparently employers) have no shame.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Gaming is becoming different, everyone has a chance to participate wheres before they associated gaming with "nerds", and "lan parties", we've spent years trying to get away from that narrative, a gamer is the kind of person that's interesting and has a massive knowledge of entertainment. They're paying $70 a game to experience something on a platform that's probably larger than anything in a haters pocket.

Let's walk back the other recent thread about gaming being the least attractive hobby for men. Here's some data.
The Most And Least Attractive Male Hobbies - Date Psychology
What male hobbies are attractive to women and what hobbies do men think women find attractive?datepsychology.com
Only 61.8% of women polled in the study viewed gaming as unattractive, better than every other vice.
This bodes extremely well for the 80% of this forum who can read.

I wouldn’t marry any girl.
I love you, you love me, let’s sign a government contract to mark that love.
No thanks, I’m not signing anything.

Is this a surprise? The guy doesn’t go with his mates to get shitfucked, doesn’t go cruising for women in the bars, he sits on his ass at home and plays games. Perfect hobby.

To be fair, many of those other hobbies/vices are happening while actually playing the video games for a number of people (marijuana, gambling, arguing online, porn). Wait is arguing online a hobby? Lkl

Bro, gotta call spade a spade, its not disney fairytale or romantic comedy, so fk beautiful lies, harsh truth is always better, at least to our ears, we as a guys dont have privilige to daydream, if we do we end up in terrible position in life.
And yup there are guys who are actual cucks, and there is significant amount of them, there are even active yt channels with advices for cucks, not joking here, if u are brave enough check it out, fair warning tho- some things cant be unheard/unseen so if u are normal healthy male things there will sound like clown world

Think of what feminism mindset/agenda is, aka bunch of lies, exactly opposite to that is men's pov, aka harsh reality/truth, ppl can call it manosphere, redpill(matrix reference obviously) or keeping things sane, name isnt important, what is important is showing men that there is actual reality instead of all that fake shit mainstream media shows.
If u are experienced/older guy u already know most/all of this stuff simply coz u experienced it urself, but younger guys or even teenage boys, especially in current western world where it isnt uncomon where they are raised w/o father or any male figure, those ppl simply do need and even crave lil bit of guidance.
Again if u are a guy in ur 30s or 40s u know all of it but try to imagine how teenage boys feel in today's world where they get screamed at from all the sides, that being masculine is toxic, and its normal for guys to behave against their nature(provider and protector, with strong set of rules and iron frame).

Also called the gay lover fallacy (by me).
Some women (with a particular aesthetic sensibility) think they want a man with feminine behavior, hobbies, views, etc. They get with one and quickly get bored of him and go on to the next one, until they understand only narcissists are attracted to clones of themselves, and they'll be a lot better with some random beer chugging dude than the gay friend they were kind of attracted to in college.
That doesn't mean of course that men can't have a feminine side or women are only attracted to machist manosphere boys, but opposites attract and again only a narcissist could stand to be in a relationship with a copy of themselves.
Also Im surprised that so few people seem to know "manosphere".
Is it because in the US the "alt right" community includes every small ones on the right, as the "woke" community is supposed to include every small ones on the left ?
In french we have a lot of blended words like this for online communities.
"complosphere" for the complotists community
"gauchosphere" for the leftist community
"fachosphere" for the fascists community
etc.
basically you take anything people create online community and add sphere to it to make it a portemanteau.

Modern relationship fails because people gets catagorized like a fucking product.
What do you mean gaming is unattractive? Is Henry Cavill unattractive? Oh now it's fucking different isn't it?
I like gaming but I also do combat sports regularly, my wife loves gardening but she also rock climbs with me. We are all human and we like different things.
People who conduct and advertize these polls should go and meet more real people and engage in real relationship, and stop being a cancer to humanity.

87.7% of women find men who argue online unattractive... That's a hard blow for GAF! Or it would be, if there were any women who even knew GAF existed. We're safe here!
It'll be a shame if we don't have a new generation of GymWolfs scampering around someday, bro!

If u check women targetted forums u will see some real nastiness and manipulation, man, compared to that even gaffers who get banned on a regular basis seem like naive angels
Not to get too off-track here, but I've seen some significant negative effects from manosphere/red pill influence in the real world at times. Guys taking bad advice, idolizing the Tate type characters, and acting very poorly to women as a conscious strategy (and not in the confident flirty way). So it may have a bad rep with women for that reason. That's not to say that everything about that mindset should be disregarded or that everyone in that subculture is a bad influence. The advice to work on your career and fitness and mindset et al is good. And certainly don't take advice from the predominant Western culture right now that says stoicism is Toxic Masculinity and men should be as vulnerable as possible, either. It's a trap.
Those intense internet subculture bubbles all tend to get warped over time, because there isn't the moderating influence of the real world or people outside of the bubble. Take what you find useful and bounce rather than immersing in it 24/7.

That was true a few decades ago. Things have changed a lot though.
The younger generation is rapidly leaving religion behind, not getting married and not having kids.

Thats the point, bro, u dont want to be her 2nd/4th/20th choice, she will never respect u then, there is this term called alpha widow, aka she got pumped and dumped by a guy of high status/wealth/looks/ w/e it might be and she stupidly thinks she is on that lvl for finding longterm relationship, which is ofc false and crazy delusional- those are broken women who will only bring u despair, at most recreational use only

So why is reading the most attractive? You sit on your ass and "do nothing" there too for entertainment.

Again, as I believe we had something similar on a thread a little bit ago, I do not care what some other person thinks of my hobbies or what I do with my own time to relax.
For 20 plus years I lived a very high stress life with deployments, training dets and so on, what I want to do to relax shouldn’t matter to my significant other if I am handling all my responsibilities.
Like I told my wife when we were engaged, don’t ask me to stop things I enjoy doing and I preface this that my hobbies are reading, running, fishing, hiking, skydiving, rock climbing, and gaming somewhat as I have never been a heavy gamer, that I will choose my happiness over your ass everyday of the week.
It’s worked out for 25 years now, we still are school children around each other, we wrestle, do a lot of my hobbies together, have probably the same or even more private time together as our kids are grown and I’ve never had a complaint about the man I am.
Be yourself and fuck anyone who doesn’t care or love you for who you are and the things that give you comfort and happiness in your daily life.

Women’s preferences are evolutionary selection pressure in action. It’s not something to resent women over, just like women shouldn’t resent men for being attracted to beauty and sexuality.

Well they must be right, i mean it's not like it's popular is it lol, you gotta do what these type of women want, which is basically not what you want to do lol, loads of females game as well, including my own daughter although my ex wife didn't like it, that's why she is an ex wife lol.

No resentment with the majority, however, its added pressure as a man when the feminist tirade is in full force where a woman wants independence. Women can't seem to make up their mind between wanting to be trad or feminists. Basically want the accountability of a child, responsibility of no one but themselves and the entitlement to a man's money. I feel like when there is a force to push equality then own it up.
Also, the things you mentioned, beauty and sexuality is what OTHER women resent now. Or at least woke women and then drag the rest down for enticing physical attractiveness. Or if they are beautiful, they will usually commoditize themselves to the worst people on Earth: Simps. In the showcase of lying to everyone that they are all "10's" they have mostly messed up delusional women who really think of themselves as that.
