Liz Wheeler made the controversial claim in a post on X earlier this week.YouTube/The Liz Wheeler Show
The graph — which was made as a joke by an unnamed creator — showed that playing video games came ahead of collecting figurines, building model trains and comic book collecting in terms of activities that gave gals the ick.
“Men playing video games is peak unattractive,” Wheeler added. “Beyond red flag. Like dealbreaker zone. It’s weird that so many dudes don’t get this.”
“This is 100% true,” Wheeler wrote above a graph titled “Least Attractive Hobbies for Men According To Women.”X/@Liz_Wheeler
Many men hit back at Wheeler’s provocative proclamation, with one saying: “We’d rather play video games than deal with modern womenpiksik – stock.adobe.com
While the graph may not have been based on any actual stats, the commentator stuck to her guns, saying she believed it to be true.
Wheeler subsequently shared a follow-up video to YouTube reiterating her claim, saying: “Video games, even if you like them, shouldn’t be your identity.”
“If you feel that I have somehow shanked your identity, which I haven’t, that’s on you, because part of your identity is with video games,” the beauty continued.
“An observation of human nature, a cultural observation, that women just don’t like when men play video games. We just don’t find it attractive,” she declared. “That’s just an objective observation.”

Beneath her original post on X, Wheeler was hit with backlash by avid gamers.
“That’s fine. We’d rather play video games than deal with modern women,” one disgruntled dude declared.
“Women like you assume your company is more interesting and valuable than a good video game. You are incorrect,” a second stated.
Meanwhile, women weighed in and were mostly supportive of men who played video games.
“Nah, video games are cool,” one lady said. “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?”
“Women like you assume your company is more interesting and valuable than a good video game. You are incorrect,” a second stated.
However, some members of the fairer sex agreed with Wheeler, saying guys who game are an instant turn-off.
“I keep trying to tell them and they just get so mad at me,” one stated, while another chimed in saying the assessment was “accurate.”
