Be honest, who among us hasn't taken up a hobby or decided to like something new in the hopes of impressing a crush? It's no secret that having a common interest is a great starting point for relationships. However, it's also not the only reason that we find things to do with our spare time. There is, in fact, more to life than romance.

Not everybody agrees with this, though, such as one man who has gained viral attention recently for his determined claim that most men only pursue hobbies to impress women and try to find a partner. While a couple of people were inclined to agree, most had no idea why he would make this assumption. It has to be said, a lot of stereotypically male hobbies do not seem to be the kind that would appeal to many women. They are usually about doing their own thing.

    Ed Latimore ❤ @EdLatimore Follow Something a lot of men don't like to admit: All of your hobbies and ambitions are to attract women. Nature doesn't care how much personal fulfillment you get from them. Those things are cool, but they're a coincidental positive externality to the prime objective: To keep the species going.

    Jermaine Quinton @quintusnonus ⚫ 5d Replying to @EdLatimore I disagree, but only because I think you got it backwards. People think that the only *valid* hobbies a man should have are the ones that attract women. No man is playing video games or collecting comics to get girls, but because they don't they're not seen as valid hobbies

    Sotheary @Lord_Sotheary 6d Replying to @EdLatimore I just love playing guitar and making music, but I can tell this, it wasn't my music that attracted my wife to me. In fact, we have completely different musical tastes. And I certainly never got into making music just to attract women.

    HTTP Lovecraft @HTTP_Lovecraft. 4d Thank god women love when I talk about deep Tolkien lore and never beg me to shut up during a LOTR rewatch. They can't get enough of it. I'm like "Tom Bombadil may be a 'nameless thing' probably created when Melkor first played discordant music" and they show me their
