Not from what I’ve heard

FlutteringFeelings · Answer

I have a job that’s considered “masculine” I have my nails done and my hair curls while doing so. I’ll tidy myself up in the middle of doing the job, wipe the sweat off my head, and get back to work. I have no shame in the job that I do and it definitely doesn’t steer men away from me when they see me on site at my job or if they ask me what do I do for a living.

I say this to say, I support women doing masculine hobbies, jobs, or anything that considers getting your hands dirty. If it’s a turn off to any man then that’s his problem and personal issue.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Fighting an fishing aren't masculine things. but lets for a moment assume they follow the stereotype.

If she is into doing either of those herself, it's a turn off, not because it's masculine, but because the first has risk of injury, and the second is boring af as far as hobbies go, you just sit there waiting, a fish bites, and you either release it's smelly ass, or you cook and eat it, and it's kinda bleh as far as taste goes (at best, at worst its disgusting).

If she is into playing a fighting video game, or having pet snakes, or has a collection of gundam model kits she custom made, or some other nerdy hobby usually viewed as for guys only, then it's a huge turn on. "Tomboy" brain in a femenine body is literally the best.

DrunkAss · Answer

Beats the feminine ones. I don't get the big deal about shopping. As long as she can look nice when she takes off her clothes, I'm not complaining. I would complain more about waiting for her to put on make-up for a whole hour or going shopping for 2 hours.

"Is a girl having masculine hobbies a turn off?"

I would say yes. I can't really think of a masculine hobby that a woman would have that would not be a turnoff to me.

I enjoy fishing and had 15 years of martial art training. But I'd have to say that its not attractive to me when women enjoy these things.

The Scots used to say "don't give a sword to a man who can't dance"

My great grandmother made hand carved wooden furniture

My dad stitched tapestries

I was a ballet dancer and a marksman

Which are the "masculine" hobbies?

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Nope.

my ex girlfriend was a WUMA instructor and fought in competition.

https://www.wumawebsite.com

Also both her and my Ex wife held motor racing competition licences

I find confident, independent and inspirational women a turn on.

Jean-Marie_Céline · Answer

Good question, thank you for asking it!
For me no, not at all! I'm interested in all kind of new things and hobbies so whatever she does and shows me, be it ''masculine'' or ''feminine'', it's always interesting to me!

Smashingdoozy · Answer

I don't think hobbies should be gendered. I enjoy fishing, I've tried out some martial arts and enjoyed it, I've played sports that mostly men play. 🤷🏻‍♀️

ShaTTeredMasterpeace · Answer

When did fishing and martial arts become guy hobbies? I used to fish all the time with my dad lol. I think hobbies are just that, hobbies.

Aurora1010 · Answer

I don't really think those hobbies are masculine, many girls do martial arts and fishing is just fishing.

exitseven · Answer

No, On our first date I took my future wife out in my little boat to go fishing. She was insulted I asked her if she wanted me to bait her hook. I knew then that she was a keeper.

Joey_007 · Answer

It's kinda hot but I wouldn't call self defence masculine or a hobby and fishing is a no from me I hate the smell of fish.

HawkPerception · Answer

Similar interests are great most of the time. However, my ex was into muay thai and fighting and I wasn't and it was also pretty masculine which was honestly kind of a turn off. Still loved her though, but I think I do prefer when girls have hobbies that are feminine like yoga. I would love if a girl liked soccer like me or hiking, kayaking, camping... all that stuff.

TomBham · Answer

No, I would like a girl who does martial arts and would date her over who does not do martial arts...

This is how I met one of my exes...

Only exception is when she does any hobbies, where she has a lot of muscles and becomes female Hulk..

DaisyM23 · Answer

No not really but guns would be weird for both men and women to be fair and as long as I don’t have to go hunting or fishing and shit

doopayo · Answer

How is karate/fishing even a masculine hobbie? Their literally hobbies. Honestly it’s stupid that people bring gender into everything. People can like whatever they want to like

monkeynutts · Answer

I think it’s cute. I’m not into prissy girls, so a woman that can fight and fish that is very attractive.

TomGarand · Answer

@wowwgirl, You might as well have told me specifically not to answer, because my answer would have been a resounding "HELL THE FUCK NO" in 5 different languages.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Generally no but with some big exceptions.

1. If she's masculine because of it. Ie she into wilderness survival so much its her life and she never does anything feminine, thats a turn off.

2. If it interferes with her femininity. Ie bikini physique model is fine but female body builder in a non tested category... fuck no.

Shihab91 · Answer

Fishing isn't masculine i actually would love if my girl do fishing i love fishing myself.
Martial arts is good for her to defend herself in case i wasn't around. But not as a life style or career that takes her full time beside i wouldn't be happy to see my wife injured or her face bleeding even if its sport i won't be able to handle it. No body touch her 😠

Astarlessnightsky · Answer

I don't think a hobby can be masculine or feminine. Do whatever is fun.

Muadib · Answer

If she really likes masculine hobbies then that can actually be a plus, but if she herself is masculine that is a turn off, most guys do not want to date someone that acts like a dude, but liking hobbies that are typically male, I got no issue with that at all.

JosyJosy · Answer

No :) if it's fun it's fun! And if they have the same interest it's a plus, right?

genericname85 · Answer

it's not a turn off for most men if a woman has A masculine hobby. but if there's nothing feminine about her character, that would deter most men.

Andres77 · Answer

No... it's actually extra attractive because she is also more likely to just kill the spiders on her own and not wake me up.

NikolaiIvanov · Answer

It's a turn on actually if we both to do it together but if that hobby means her interacting with other men that might be a deal-breaker for me. But nothing would be as fun as to go hunting together and enjoy the delicious food we cooked together.

wingattebaby16 · Answer

no, i think it is actually better if she does have masculine hobbies coz then she has more in common with her man.

"Honey, you want to go fishing tomorrow?" Woman, "I already had my stuff in the boat!"

robocop666 · Answer

Nope most men like tough women. Ever heard of a dominatrix? or seen instagram models with millions of subscribers hitting punch pads?

Ms_Vanderquack · Answer

Any guy turned off by a girl who can take care of herself isn’t a guy worth my time.

modelUN242 · Answer

I don't think so, I'm a tomboy and I like those types of hobbies but I also like to explore my feminine side as well.

Lliam · Answer

Not at all. She would be fun to be with. As long as her masculine hobbies don't include building defined, bulging muscles.

Massageman · Answer

No problem. At least she could defend me - - - - - -

slatyb · Answer

No, it's a turn-on. I used to hot-lap sports cars and it was very cool when a woman came to drive. She got lots of attention.

ohshee · Answer

No it is definitely a turn on because she's challenging herself and that's beautiful I think there's something so hot so beautiful and sexy about that

Floppy2112 · Answer

The opposite. If a woman shares my love of cars, for instance, that is a huge turn on. It means we share more together. It means when I speak, I am not talking to an unconcerned wall of blank stares.

RSStevedmj · Answer

What is a masculine hobby?  And to that point, what is a feminine hobby? My late wife taught me how to knit, I find that a very relaxing thing to do.

purplepoppy · Answer

Stand on a beach with a fishing rod and you'll have more guys approach you than if you were naked and holding a sign saying free sex

The_Maphio · Answer

It's a massive turn ON if anything.  Nothing says "No.1 Girlfriend" like a woman who shares your interests.

blondfrog · Answer

Is that you doing judo? And no its not. As long as its not body building or something.

clampfan101 · Answer

As long as she’s not shredded, I don’t know why it would be.

more_than_a_guy · Answer

Like martial arts and fishing? I find this hot! Anyway, don't let people discourage you from doing what you like!

convo_king89 · Answer

If she still makes her self sexy, like when working on a car wears a fitted t shirt and jeans. Not some loose baggy shit we wear.

cth96190 · Answer

Not at all.
I would be delighted if I found a woman who was into martial arts, shooting, kendo, fencing and had military experience.
So far, I have struggled to meet a woman who was not a man-hating Feminist, or straight out insane.

RCLJT · Answer

Masculine as in hot dog eating contests or masculine as in power lifting 1970 Buick’s?

Pogi-Paddy-2 · Answer

Definitely not especially if they like to fish. That would be a big turn on for me.☯️

Joshua0213 · Answer

Not at all its a requirement for me, gotta love hunting/fishing/mudding/riding 4 wheelers etc.

TallAnon · Answer

Not at all, there were lots of attractive girls at martial arts.

jerdanro · Answer

Nope. I nurture my children. That's a femanine trait. Is that a turn off? I hope not.

0112358 · Answer

I don't consider that many hobbies masculine or feminine. Certainly not judo or fishing.

Vickymoore9 · Answer

I don’t think the judgement should be relevant to what you do. Nobody going to make you happy not even your family so don’t let anyone tell you what to do!

NightOwl8801 · Answer

Not at all , just means you have more in common... I like that a lot when you have more things in common , makes for a good date if you like some of the same stuff.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

No way that is hot for sure, I think a girl shooting a gun, fishing, karate is hot too

jshm2 · Answer

There is nothing masculine about martial arts or fishing.  But what manner of moron goes fishing these days?

AndrewMG · Answer

Not a fan of the firearms regardless of gender, but everything else is hot! lol

AydenHazor · Answer

Hell no. The arbitrary division between "masculine" and "feminine" activities is a useless societal norm that should be tossed out the window.

MadBoy · Answer

Actually I kinda like it. I could use someone to hang out with that likes to do that kind of stuff. Might get me out of the house more lol.

kkirk4442 · Answer

Her having masculine hobbies is fine, as long as she doesn't take on masculine traits.

Jjpayne · Answer

Nope! It's pretty fun! Nice moves there!

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I’m not a guy but I think guys love girls who do martial arts or go fishing since both require skill and dedication

LorraineGates · Answer

If there is one thing I have learned, it is to do what you want and let the people who like you, find you. If a man is turned off by my hobbies, he is not the man for me.
