When a match has stereotypical gender-dominated hobbies listed, does that appeal to you or give you pause?


What are some examples you’ve encountered?


Guys, do you like the feminine hobbies in your matches? And ladies, do you like the masculine hobbies?


Are there any you wish to share with your partner?

My hobbies are hunting, fishing, rowing, target shooting, lifting weights, biking and horseback riding which I have in my profile. There's one more that I never ever mention, I design and make contemporary quilts. I'm afraid that it will be taken the wrong way so I keep it to myself.

I like when a man has got macho hobbies, it kind of turns me on. If a man said he collected stamps, coins, did bird watching, train/plane spotting or something similar, it would make me run a mile.

I list my favorite hobbies, which are outdoorsy; fly fishing, archery and camping. I am also a talented seamstress, good cook, great baker, and I enjoy gardening and housework. I list a few of themore domestic hobbies also, but just a sprinkle lest I come off sounding like a Donna Reed. I would hope that it shows that I'm well rounded and intellectually curious.(I could be way off on that, given my success rate.)


I look for the same breadth of interests in a man's profile, not just in hobbies but in reading choices.





P.S. Scrapbooking? Lady, get an external hard drive.
