AviatorsWork Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hey again guys...I just wanted to raise the question about musicians.... Anyone think girls find musicians more attractive JUST because they are musicians? Or does it have to do more with the instrument they play, or their willingness to play for you.. I've been playing guitar for about 9 years, piano for 7, and Saxophone for 4...Any of those I really shouldn't mention? lol Link to comment
ProtestTheHero Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 If you're altering/hiding aspects about yourself/hobbies just to impress a female, your mind is already in the wrong place. You play what you play, and if they have a problem with it tell them to pick up a kazoo and put up or shut up. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 i'm sure plenty of women would think that is and attractive talent. would it be enough? depends. Link to comment
agent1607307371 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 To quote Bill Hicks "Go **** a flautist. Find a guy who can use his fingers and his tongue." I think women like musicians partly because it has the taint of rebellion, but partly because of, shall we say, transferable skills. Watching someone get "lost in music" is pretty sexy.

Isha Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I don't find musicians attractive as a general rule. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I don't find musicians attractive as a general rule. the fact that they play instruments or are you talking about a particular stereotypical look? Link to comment
Ac143 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 No, not really. They dont do anything for me, but I know a lot of women that love musicians. Link to comment
ProtestTheHero Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 the fact that they play instruments or are you talking about a particular stereotypical look? Musicians have stereotypical looks? I mean, I guess that's true, but they vary A LOT since that's going to be predicated on genre. A guy on "Making the Band" isn't going to look like a dude from A7X, and a dude from A7X isn't going to look like Kurt Cobain, and Kurt Cobain doesn't look like Dimebag Darrell. Link to comment

Yeah I worded that terribly, I didn't mean to imply that YOU were stereotyping, I was just confused how anyone can have an incredibly favorable or distateful view of musicians since they vary so much. Should have quoted the other person. Link to comment
Will D Ness Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Aviators, Musicians, as a general rule, are a self-confident bunch because perhaps more than any other profession, they've had to learn how to self-promote and become staunchly resistant to criticism and rejection. This kind of raw, punchy self-confidence always has a romantic aura which seems to attract members of the opposite sex. My guess is it probably has little to do with the actual instrument played. The old phrase of "drummers get all the chicks" is probably just lore. Artists and musicians, as a whole tend to be excellent marketers but less talented in management and accounting. So, lots of hype and little of the "suit and tie" persona and you've got an attractive, romantic risk-taking musician. Heck, I'm in love just typing it...LOL. Link to comment
easyguy Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I think the challenge for a musician, being one myself, is meeting people who understand the demands of the business and the limited income. However, I seldom meet musicians who don't enjoy what they do. I would rather meet a young lady who has a passion for something in life and isn't afraid so share her expression with others.

ghost69 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 maybe the OP doesn't mean musician as a whole/profession or just the fact he is good at some random instruments. Link to comment
ProtestTheHero Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I don't think I could ever do it as my only means of income. That would certainly up the stress level and potential sell-out factor. Link to comment
Isha Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 the fact that they play instruments or are you talking about a particular stereotypical look? Oh, I have no problem with someone playing an instrument. If the instrument is a passion then I think that's wonderful, it makes no difference which one. I was more responding to: Anyone think girls find musicians more attractive JUST because they are musicians? I know many musicians, both professional and amateur, and their career or hobby of choice just isn't enough to get me interested. So you're a muso, okay- show me more. What is your character? How do you treat people? What goals do you have? Don't just say "I'm a drummer.." or "I'm a bassist.." and expect me to swoon. Been there, done that.. yawn. Link to comment

ghost69 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 yes, isha. that was what i was asking. thanks. Link to comment
melrich Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I think generally women are attracted to creative people (in fact PEOPLE are attracted to creative people). Musicians generally fall into that category. My wife's first husband was in a well known rock band in this country. All I can say is, a successful musician would be very hard to have a long term relationship with. Link to comment
AviatorsWork Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Lol, ok my bad for the lack of explanation... I was thinking more like, would it be a plus to be a musician....I read a topic about someone who always "JUST SO" happens to get left behind as the women he likes get on with their lives with someone else... So i got to thinking, I don't know if anyone has ever had to choose between another guy or myself, but i was thinking being a musician had to give me some kind of "boost" so to speak Link to comment

COtuner Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I don't find myself attracted to or wanting to date men based upon a skill or vocation. Link to comment
Binoo Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I've never understood why girls get so riled up about musicians. I think they like the bragging rights of dating a guy in a band. That, and maybe they live vicariously through their boyfriends because they don't feel they have any special talents of their own. And because I can play guitar, baritone, trumpet, tuba and french horn, I don't find it that difficult therefore, it doesn't impress me when I see a guy carrying a guitar on his back. I think it's great to have musical ability but there needs to be more than that. Also, as a side note, the last guy I was in a relationship with is a full time musician. I'm not saying they all act this way but he had that whole rockstar fantasy thing going on. Parties, women, beer all day every day. That's what he wanted. Too much drama for me. Link to comment
AviatorsWork Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I wasn't really thinking the entire band scene....Like, Rock or metal bands and such...I was thinking more like....Just some guy that can play instruments pretty well, and maybe get some extra money out of it in the long run....no rock star fantasies for me lol Link to comment
Binoo Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Ahhh, understood. Still a no, for me. Seeing someone playing an instrument doesn't make me fall in love. If he was a great guy and just so happened to play an instrument, it would just be a nice addition [ but that goes for any hobbie he is passionate about ]. Link to comment
