Published October 25, 2026

Least Attractive Hobbies for Men According to Women is a fake bar chart from an August 2024 TikTok slideshow by @joez4842 that ranked gaming, figurine collecting and magic tricks as the three least appealing male pastimes. Reposts on X ignited debate over women's view of gaming, and by late August 2024 users were editing the chart with their own hobby labels to make parody versions.

Overview

The chart lists nine hobbies in bar form, with playing video games on top followed by figurine collecting, magic tricks, online trolling and taxidermy1. @joez4842's slideshow presented the fabricated data as a joke about friends who go birdwatching, not a real poll1. Readers who found it through X reposts took the numbers at face value anyway, which fueled most of the response3.

Parody edits swap the labeled hobbies to roast different groups or invert the premise. @LaneLikesOkra's August 19th remix placed the chart inside a Fallenchungus comic panel for a reaction gag6. Counter-posts rejected the chart's premise entirely, with @kenzietuff writing that attraction overrides any hobby objection7.
