Study Reveals Women View Cryptocurrency as an Unattractive Male Hobby

Interest in cryptocurrencies ranked ninth in the list of “attractive” male hobbies from the perspective of women, according to a study by Date Psychology, as reported by Cointelegraph.

The survey found that women are more favorable towards partners watching anime, engaging in cosplay, or reading comics.

Nearly a third of respondents found these activities interesting, whereas only 23.1% felt the same about cryptocurrencies.

Only collecting pop-culture and media-themed Bobblehead figures from Funko ranked lower in attractiveness than digital assets.

The survey included 814 participants, 48% of whom were women. They were presented with a list of 74 hobbies to categorize as either “attractive” or “unattractive.”

Video games, MTG, arcade and war games, Dungeons & Dragons, magic tricks, and stamp collecting received slightly fewer “unattractive” votes in this informal ranking.

In a similar survey involving men, 13.7% of respondents considered cryptocurrency an attractive hobby in the eyes of women.

The majority also categorized playing a musical instrument as attractive, aligning with the results of a similar study (95.4% of women’s responses). Respondents also highlighted reading (98.2%) and learning a foreign language (95.6%).

The mentioned data can be found in a survey conducted in April 2023 by Pew Research specialists. It included 10,701 American adults, of whom 5,936 were women.

Only 10% of female participants in the study had ever traded, used, or invested in cryptocurrencies, compared to 25% of the men surveyed.

Among those women who had used digital assets, nearly 40% reported no longer owning them, compared to about 30% of men with similar experiences.

According to Pantera Capital, women working in the industry earn more than men.
