Occasionally they do a bit more when photography is mentioned.
For a particular sector of female population, photography seems to be a more appealing feature in a man than hobbies like, for example, getting drunk, watching football, or playing computer games.
Thinking about it, I've often heard women complain about their other halves pastimes, but never heard one say her man is a photographer without having a happy tone in the voice. Whatever arguments there might be behind closed doors regarding equipment costs, I think photography must be on the approved list.

"Artsy types get a boost in the sexy department for having a strong sense of style and a unique perspective on the world. Even among artists, photographers stand out because they stay behind the camera, finding beauty in unconventional and overlooked places. Their willingness to stay out of the spotlight and focus their attention on someone else is endearing."
Isn't that nice ?
I wonder if we'll get a female perspective on this ?

From the female perspective - ha! you've gotta be kidding!
The only pro photographers I know and worked with from the other side of the lens are not misty-eyed material by any stretch of the imagination.
