Posted: 8/12/2007 5:45:13 AM | Not all musicians are naughty. I have dated 2 musicians in my lifetime, both were fairly long term. They would take me to their gig's and reassure me they had eyes for me alone. Quite often they would sit in a separate area away from the band with just the two of us. | |

I think that what makes many musicians wander is this: musicians of that ilk feed off of the praise and applause of their audiences. When the person that they are with starts to not give them the stroking that they demand (but, due to their self-centeredness, don't always deserve) they turn to someone else who WILL tell them that the sun rises and sets on them.
Instead of trying to improve the relationship they have, and make it mutually satisfying, they just move on when things are not feeding their ego.
And TWO, musicians of this ilk are also rather impressed with their own abilities. When those abilities are not getting them the results that they desire, they may blame the easiest target available - the person who has been supporting them. If only that person had been BETTER and more supportive and more WHATEVER, then they would be more successful as a musician.
This said, there are a heckuva lot of people of all manner of professions who have these same attributes. I think musicians are just more out there and visible than other professions. | |

A lot of girls seem to think most musicians are promiscuous groupy-hunting lech's. I've never cheated on, led on, or lied to a woman for sex in my life.
Funny how the only male friends/acquaintances I've had over the years that
have lied, cheated and used women in general were/are "Business Professionals".

Not saying that you have to do it, but I'll bet there is a lot more temptation around TO cheat. | |

Posted: 8/13/2007 10:10:11 AM | Dang!!! I'm on the wrong end of the music trade. I never get lucky.
I did get kissed by a bunch of blue haired choir ladies one Christmas Eve when I fixed the organ with seconds to spare. | |

Been a musician for 18 years and have never had a fling, one night stand or anything close to it. Damn what was I thinking for all these years. Had some fabulas dances though.
We get penalized for car insurance here too because we are more at risk apparently.
At the end of the day we are all different and choose our own actions.

Posted: 8/14/2007 2:10:51 AM | | I hear that one, buddy. On the other hand though, when we are single, it is a lot easier for us to get a woman's attention. People will stereotype anything or anyone that doesn't believe in, or conform to everything that they believe or conform to. They may see only one person of a type do something of that sort, but that one person doing it, means that we all do it to them. There's really nothing that we can do, except ignore it. Smart people will see through the stereotypes, and judge us as individuals. As far as I'm concerned, anybody who can't be f*cked to see me as an individual, and not as a member of a certain group(ethnic, class, religious, or anything else), isn't worth my time anyways. Just let it slide off your back like water off a raincoat. | |

Posted: 8/14/2007 9:10:12 AM | OP, I've made my living playing music all my life and I know what you mean by being stereotyped. Not all of us snort coke or shoot heroin or have orgies with teenie-bopper groupies...but we seem to have that reputation whether we do it or not. 
I go to work around 7:00 pm and I'm home before 11:00 pm six nights a week. So some of us do work a normal job (and it's not even 40 hours a week)...it just happens to be playing music | |

Posted: 8/14/2007 10:00:20 AM | Well I dated one, and Did not know he was until after I dated him.
He was a drummer for a rock band, claim to fame, gold record and that was the end of it, Said he had sex with 1000 women,
Thank god I used a condom and I am clean.
The musician thing well did nothing for me, and for him either I dont think.
No wonder I thought he was an idiot.
I finally got rid of him.
