To mean "a man who does or participates in a hobby is more attractive than a man who only talks about interests but doesn't actively partake"

e.g. Someone who can do woodwork vs someone who is interested in it but only for discussion, reads magazines about it

How do you feel about this piece of advice?

So like a CEO that only talks about what to do is less attractive than the underlings that actually do it?

No, since that's the actual CEOs job. It'd be more like the guy who wants to be CEO and talks about being a CEO is not as attractive as the guy who actually is a CEO.

ngl I feel like the interpretation you came to comes from a bias to hate people like CEOs and not from trying to understand what I said

Its like you didn't even read the example I gave... but maybe I just gave a bad example

You just sound buttmad I poked a hole in your attempt at "advice". People that have the power and expertise to get others to do the heavy lifting are rarely seen as undesirable.

I'm not trying to be a dick; it seems like you're genuinely misunderstanding

Does this apply to sport fans, by chance? Thats the only thing I can think of that this topic applies too.

Anybody else talking about a hobby probably does the hobby lol.

Yeah, I would assume.
It's not my advice, I was just wondering what CE thought.

But yeah, under this logic we can assume a man is more attractive if he plays soccer as opposed to just watching it.

Could also apply to art - do you draw or paint, or do you just like to view it? Actually being an artist is probably more interesting - and therefore attractive - to a potential partner. Film, graphic design, tech, etc.

If someone is interested in the coaching strategy aspect of sports more than just running a ball around, wouldn't they be "doing" their hobby?

No, you'd be out there coaching a youth football team or something.
If you're just reading articles online and reviewing film for your own pleasure, that'd be non-participatory.

Why are you asking us, instead of one of the other boards that you've been posting on until you got 50 karma? Why do you care what we think, when you've only known us for 13 days?
