| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 12/12/2007 7:42:14 PM | I've been playing professionally for 25 years across the US and overseas and although I have met my fair share of the opposite sex playing music, I think there's a quirkiness and fun side to a musician that a woman cannot predict and thats part of what keeps a woman interested in us. We are hard to figure out and to say we are all "male sluts" is a ridiculous generalization. It can be that way, but it's not unless you have a death wish. To be able to play music for a living is a true gift and I don't think you should discount the hours in the "woodshed" it takes to get to the level of playing that actually can pay the bills and make others say "wow" that is so cool. Now for all the hotties in the audience, I say he among us who has not been weak at the beauty of a gorgeous woman at a performance, cast thy first bar chord! Maybe I should have finished law school, are you kidding me? No way! Mark S.  | |

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 12/12/2007 8:37:43 PM | The power role too...for sure. Right now, Dave Grohl of the Foos is one of the most influencial musicians of our time. And ya...I must admit...there is a total attraction. It's definitely because he is a fabulous musician but also because he writes some damn good tunes and looks good on stage!!
Dave Grohl is God.
I was a full time musician for a few years, most of the time I had a steady girlfriend, committed relationships. No biggie. It was always fun.
The last band I was in. I'm on the left with the pink guitar and the LOOOOONG black hair. Jumping around like a fool. (just duct taped a 58 to the video camera for the audio so it's not great)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=UEDYQx4MZtQ http://youtube.com/watch?v=zJ1xsnxeKiY We aren't around in the second video, because there were a couple bass bins we would jump onto and play from. The soloing is pretty weak.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=nCIZ0RMdHac Fun song, light guy asleep until after the solos.
I was more in to it because I just LOVE playing Music. I'm putting a cover band back together for some fun. Whether we hit bars, or just stay in my basement, it's still fun making noise with some friends. I agree that girls love if I play guitar and sing for them, but I don't just do it for anyone.

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 12/13/2007 7:41:50 AM | I was married to a musician for twenty years. I played in the bands with him, since I can handle a guitar pretty well myself. The initial reason I was attracted to him is because I thought I could be his muse and he would write beautiful songs about his love for me! He wasn't a player at all, he was dedicated to strengthening his skills as a pianist, guitarist, bassist, and drummer. We have two children together and they are BOTH musicians. I would hate to think that they would be stereotyped as male and female Sluts just because they happen to be gifted musically. BTW: He never did consider me his MUSE, and not once did he write a song about our love...... He started playing Christian music and now Jesus recieves his adulation. | |

Posted: 12/13/2007 8:41:12 PM | He started playing Christian music and now Jesus recieves his adulation. oh that is just so wrong considering the fact that all of us musicians worship satan! We tend to have sex with any willing female and we are known to burn buildings down with pyrotechniques displays. Don't ever date a musician we are scum !!!!!!!!! | |

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 12/13/2007 8:51:06 PM | Time for another bad musician joke...just to lighten the mood. Don't get me wrong, I love musicians (I just hope my daughters never get involved with one).
What's the first thing a musician says at work? "Would you like fries with that?" | |

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 12/14/2007 7:03:38 PM | Women are NOT attracted to musiciains.
Women are attrated to which ever men are fashionable at the time.
Over the years that has ranged from rock musicians 60s to folk musicians 70s to business moguls 80s to sporting stars 90s to gangster rappers 2000s.
Other odities have also found their way through the flavour of the year ranging from stuntmen to hairdressers, to skateboarders, to cleelbrity gardners, and chefs.
But, whatever they are, what they have in common is that right NOW all the girls are after them.
It's like the old row of swngs in the park. Two little girls are ready to kill one another over ONE paticular swing. Each one wants that PATICULAR swing for no other reason than the other one wants it. | |

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 12/15/2007 11:11:31 PM | | It's because of the love for the music. If you love music, you love those who can gift it. Remember how we gals all went nuts when the Beatles came out? And all those great and wonderful rock and roll groups that followed?? Yea, there's a certain amount of charisma that goes with it - but a good singer/muscian will capture my heart any day. It's all about the love fot the music, man. Oh yea, did I mention that I was in love with Steven Tyler? And yes - I met him, and kissed him! Aerosmith's music rules! | |

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 12/17/2007 9:55:20 PM | ...bottom line...music is a vehicle for a sort of spiritual unity...between jammers and audience...in the audience you can feel what the creator feels....and within the (improvizational) jam...you converge on a certain plain...simply by using your ears, anticipation, and intuition....
...it's communication without words...and yes...that is a very attractive thing to a lot of women... | |

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 12/23/2007 8:26:44 AM | Honestly? Because I think it would be the most awesome thing in the world to hear a song written for me.
Lol, how egocentric is that?
Probably why I've never gotten to date a musician. LOL. | |

Why are women attracted to musicians?
Women are attracted to musicians because they play instruments.
Music appeals to our souls. We relate the ability to make music with someone who understands that, hoping for a deeper connection.
That, and it takes confidence to stand up in front of a crowd.
Two qualities women look for.
We know most guys in bands are "male sluts" and will sleep with just about anything so why are women always attracted to them?
That would be the reason to avoid them. Heartbreak City, anyone?

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 12/23/2007 11:20:47 AM | | Yanno, I just never have cared for that sorta thing. There has been a couple times when I dated a guy years back and he would sing to me, which was really sweet, but as far as being attracted to "musicians" in particular....nahhh. 'Be more inclined to have the hots for a bronc buster, lol. | |

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 12/26/2007 9:08:38 PM | It's just like anything else in this world...it all comes down to values...a healthy attraction is based on similar values...if she's attracted to musicians, chances are music makes her happy and adds value to her life.....
...on the other hand...a girl who chases the dude on stage just to feel "special" ...she probably still needs to gain her sense of self...and it's probably a good match because the dude on stage who's trying way too hard to look cool is most likely not as confident and self assured as he seems... | |

I'm kidding, I think there are too many generalizations in this thread. | |

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 7/1/2009 7:18:31 PM | Perhaps there are only 99% attracted to musicians of 100% this one ol gal (ME) is never attracted to musicians..* Most* men in intertainment business has big Ego and womanizer,boozers, night is their life and few are lazy bums.............. Those guys are charismatic,romantic,sweet etc., so am I, that is part of the job,huh,okay that's the attitudes expected by the crowds.
I met a lot of musician/male singers , when I was a dancer, they can't score with me so the decided to treat me like a kid sister , they become kind and over protective to me like their real sister. Nuff said..  | |

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 7/1/2009 8:32:47 PM | Well man, the tribute band I go see their hair is so long they can mop the floor with it, they swing it around. And oh! those pants they wear leave nothing to the imagination.
Ok, the lady with her fishnet stockings gets the guys too so we're even. The Mex groundskeepers I know aren't into rock but they stand there looking up the woman's dress. | |

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 8/4/2009 8:21:15 PM | When I was the lead singer in bands, I mainly dated musicians, because they were the ones I had an opportunity to meet/hang out with.
Now that I work for a super rich guy, I tend to date rich guys, because they are the ones I have an opportunity to meet/hang out with. | |

| Why are women attracted to musicians? Posted: 8/4/2009 8:42:26 PM | | I am attracted to musicians because they rock! LOL Joking! I love music, I love playing instruments and I love a guy who knock me down with his songs. LOL Give me Til Linderman of Rammstein or any of All That Remains and I will be a happy camper. | |
