And when you think of a person who is into heavy metal music, you get the perception of a man with lots of tatoos, long hair, black leather jackets, rough around the edges, etc. Obviously not the case.... But at first it might scare some women off because it's not what they are into.
I dated someone who was into that type of music, not a rocker look by any means, and he LOVED that crazy music!! 
I was never really into it, but I liked the person enough to at least try to be open to it.
So yes OP, you guys are dateable. :)
When we would go out, he was kind enough to put on an 80's station, and we would take turns listening to each other's favorite music!! Compromise.

I for one love heavy metal...but even if i didn't it wouldn't bother me if the guy i was dating did..there are a lot bigger things to worry about...Musical taste is just too trivial to not go out with someone over..that's just my .02 cents.

I don't even really understand why a person's musical interest would be a factor.
Um, because it's nice to enjoy going to the same nightclubs and gigs and singing along to the same songs in the car? I certainly don't want to go out and dance to Britney Spears or techno. And I'd go crazy listening to Norah Jones on a long journey.
Sure, music isn't important to everyone, but I've found it a real struggle in the past getting on with boyfriends who were not metalheads, largely because they were embarrassed by my musical taste and felt the need to challenge me about it or take the p*ss.
So I can imagine that a girl who's into hip hop in the same way that I am into rock might well have a problem going out with a guy who just listens to metal, but, if you have a range of tastes (and don't we all?) which intersect with hers, I can't see why it should be a problem. | |

Posted: 9/19/2007 9:31:07 AM | | IMO it would be pretty lame not to date someone just because he/she listens to different music than you do. It just simply means that you couldn't go to concerts together. If you are in the same car, then compromise and put on music that both people can tolerate. I have good friends that listen to different music than I do, but we have a lot of other things in common. | |

Posted: 9/19/2007 9:44:32 AM | I once met a man who actually said "I don't listen to music"....yikes. Nothing? No Jazz? No pop? No Classical? Just....nothing? EEEsh. I pictured a man in a car driving to....silence. Wow.
Now THAT made no sense to me.
My tastes are extremely diverse (they have to be, in my line of work) but to meet someone who just listens to...nothing...is someone I can't even relate to.
WTF IS that? | |

Posted: 9/19/2007 10:08:09 PM | dude, check out a band called Ensiferum. Means "sword-bearer', or so I read on Wikipedia. Also check out a band called Meshuggah (on their website they say the name means Crazy in Yiddish. Again I lack the knowledge to add an "I know this for sooth"). Both are great in their own right.
On a related note, I am a man that loves heavy metal. I find there is certain music I can not listen without getting grumpy. Ultimately it does come down to taste in music and I recommend finding a happy medium, such as 70's rock or something.

Howver we all know what women can be like.
SURELY nobody listens to nsync or britnyover the age of about 12? | |

Posted: 9/20/2007 9:59:10 AM | | I beleive that music is important but not something to base a relationship on. As for heavy metal and rock, I've been listening to those genres ever since I can remember. Although that doesnt mean I'm not open to other genres as well :). My taste varies and in my opinion people who only stick to One type of music or are close-minded as to think every other genre is just horrible arnt the kind of people I'd want to be around in the first place. Just the fact that they are not willing to tolerate or accept another type of music can give you a big hint on their personality! Although the heavy metal and rock scene seem to be slowly making a come back in younger people and has mostly been alive in the older generations. You'll find someone eventually that will either share your interest or respect it. Perhaps you are looking for it in the wrong kind of girls? I'm not sure but I dont believe it should make the decision on a person. I wish you luck though ^.^ | |

Posted: 9/21/2007 5:12:34 PM | As a metalhead myself, I find it odd that there seems to be this stigma of limitation to only listening to metal. Anyone who digs deeper than Ozzfest will find the most varied genre out there.
Burzum sounds nothing like Amorphis. Empyrium sounds nothing like Watain.
But to stay somewhat on topic, I've dated girls that weren't into metal with some success, but my ideal mate would be a metal chick. We seem to be more passionate about our music than your average person, so we're naturally drawn to our own. | |

Posted: 9/22/2007 8:31:37 PM | Dateable??? OH hell yes!!!
I've been a "head banger" since high school. I love rock. I'm open to other forms of music, but my heart belongs to rock and roll. Nothing like a road trip with Pantera, Korn, Alice in Chains, or NIN playing on the radio!
You just keep on listening to the music you feel the most from. Personally, I get nothing from N Sync or Spears. Not to say they dont have talent. I'm just not into them....
Rock On | |

Posted: 9/22/2007 9:28:38 PM | | I think there is more women who are into heavy metal than what us guys give credit for. I mean, the 80's hairbands are a given, but there are more women who will listen to stuff like Metallica or Medagdeth. Not sure about Cannibal Corpse though. I have listened to their stuff and can't get into anything like that...but Iron Maiden? I'm there! | |

If they are tall, dark, handsome and have long hair, yes - if they are musicians and actually playing some of the music, even better. ~SWOON~
Those are the kind I like....
Damn, it only I had long hair I would be in like Flyn!! I did at one time, but it got tiresome.  | |

Posted: 9/23/2007 3:36:11 AM | well personally I started listening to extreme music at the age of 15 and then I remember being introduced to the majestic music of Emperor from the icy lands of Norway and I was complelely captured by their sound, then other acts from the North followed like Burzum but certainly I don't forget my first love like Iron Maiden.
Now I listen to a lot of neofolk/martial/industrial music and classical too certainly I wouldn't be able to live with someone who cannot appreciate a bit of Wagner or Beethoven and Chopin too.
How can't you feel your spiritual union stronger by being immersed into the celestial piano of Chopin is beyond me...
Hard to date would be someone into hip hop though.... | |

Posted: 9/23/2007 8:19:00 AM | I may be off base here, but I imagine someone who enjoys listening to heavy metal probably enjoys listening to it loudly. So, a man in my dateable age bracket who has listened to many years of loud heavy metal is probably going to be hard of hearing by the time I get to date him. Personally, this is not a problem for me as I am capable of very loudly letting my own voice be heard.
gonzofanmel...please tell me you weren't joking when you said you like guys who are into Barry Manilow. You should never joke about Barry Manilow. I first fell in love with Barry in 1979 (or thereabouts) and have adored him ever since.
*time to watch that DVD again* | |

Posted: 9/23/2007 8:40:40 AM | My taste definately leans to harder music and alternative. I find it complex and I like it. Some heavy metal reminds me more of classical than any other genre.
I drove 24 hours to see Tool in Concert when they were in Ottawa. My favorite heavy artists are probably them, Perfect Circle, Finger Eleven, Danzig, Ozzy, Marilyn Manson, ...geez list too long .
I like all kinds of music though and just don't like hearing some bands slammed just because of the genre they were pinholed into. Except country....don't mind when they do it to country music  | |
