An American right-wing commentator has been ridiculed by both men and women after making a claim about the most unattractive hobby men can have.
Nothing says out of touch like both men and women laughing your hot take off social media.
While Twitter is full of nonsense and ridiculous takes about just about everything, right-wing commentator Liz Wheeler might think twice before giving any more dating advice on the platform.

In a widely polarizing post, she appeared to show a picture indicting what are ‘the least attractive hobbies for men according to women’.
However, it is quite important to note, the post has already been community noted since being posted on August 20.
It seems people weren’t quite happy with the source of ‘dude, trust me bro’.

The graph showed that out of a score of 100, playing video games garnered a score of 90 percent unattractiveness. This was followed by collecting figurines at 85, magic tricks at 80, and online trolling at 75.
She captioned the image: “This is 100% true. Men playing video games is peak unattractive. Beyond red flag. Like dealbreaker zone. It’s weird that so many dudes don’t get this.”
However the community note read: “There is no source provided for the reported finding, and the percentages are rounded evenly to the nearest multiple of 5, which is implausible.

“The origin of this image is from an TikToker making a joke post about them being birdwatchers.”
The TikTok user, where the graph initially was posted, has been identified as TikTok user @joez4842.
However, it isn't posted with source, so it is likely simply ragebaiting content to get people to... well rage.
Liz has since clarified that she knew the graph was a joke and posted it 'because she thought it was humorous'.
It seemed to have the desired effect as people quickly took shots at Wheeler for agreeing so whole heartedly.

“Guys playing video games is their way of escaping the BS they deal with all day. I'd go on to say it is the equivalent of women binge watching Netflix or endless scrolling their insta feeds. As long as the guy has a steady job and stays physically fit it shouldn't matter,” said one disgruntled guy.
Women also weighed in on the debate with one responding: “Men have a lot of crap on their plates, and if a guy takes care of business in every other arena, why the hell shouldn’t he play video games?”
“Nahh the same girls who hate their man gaming also hate him going out with the boys or doing any hobby or activity that she isn't also into. This isn't about him being anti-social, this is about you wanting his entire world to revolve around you,” added another.
