Video: Pakistani woman smiles after crushing two people with SUV

<p>A woman has stirred a storm on social media platform X after claiming that playing video games is the most unattractive hobby a man can have. Liz Wheeler made the comment on Monday in response to a graph titled “Least Attractive Hobbies for Men According To Women.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Wheeler replied with “This is 100% true" on the post which has now raked up more than 18 million views. It has also left the internet divided, with some people agreeing with Wheeler, and others calling her "100 per cent incorrect".</p>

<p>The graph has no scientific backing and no research and was likely made as a joke by the creator. It placed "playing video games" on top of the list of least attractive hobbies, ahead of collecting figurines, building model trains and comic books.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“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.”</p>
