This one is probably one of the most unanimously unattractive hobbies a man can have, mainly because of the negative connotations and risks associated with it. A gambling hobby can lead to financial instability, addiction, and strained relationships - not something most women would want to risk.

While many women would be fine with this hobby, plenty others would see it as a big no no. For one thing there is the cost of maintaining a supply, then there is the smell, which often lingers in clothes and hair, and the potential side effects like paranoia and lack of motivation. 

Some men love the thrill of the chase when it comes to pursuing different women, as well as having their ego stroked by the attention they receive from them.

Collecting and smoking cigars may be the height of elegance to some, but for many women this hobby could actually be a dealbreaker. They may see it as pompous or too old fashioned, or just don't like the health risks and strong smell associated with it.
