mrs rubble Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I dumped a musician for my current partner.
Just1ofThoseDays Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Because musicians are surrounded by other men who they actually want.
Dork Vader Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I do not think this a true statement at all. Some women like mountain men. Some like automotive junkies. Some like artsy type. Some like muscians.. It really just depends on the woman as far as what they like. 3

In my case it depends on the man, whether he's obnoxious, kind, rude etc.....has nothing to do with whether he's a musician or an undertaker!
preraph Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I always felt musicians were my closest peers, so I mostly went out with musicians or professional music people. I had a big thing for an artist too. I find creativity extremely attractive, and I love people who aren't afraid to recreate themselves and become their own dream. On the other hand, a lot of the musicians were not at all dependable on many levels, couldn't depend on them to be findable when you needed someone to jump-start your car, etc. Money was feast or famine, and because of the whole left brain/right brain thing, a lot of them were terrible with business matters. So in my mind, they weren't marriage material. But I don't love anyone more or enjoy anything more than just being around someone who's very creative and a performer like that. I like creative girlfriends as well.
shet Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Creativity is attractive, even to dullards, who enjoy what they can't do themselves. Furthermore, my personal biases and experience here, guys who play guitars or drums or what have you, they're consummate bull**** artists who chose to learn these skills directly in order to be the life of the party and pick up chicks. That's what they want in life and they get good at it, so their "I'm a musician" schtick is merely an aspect of a wider skill set at manipulation. Classical musicians aren't the same, they were usually trained as kids by pushy parents.
carhill Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 IME, it depends on the musicians and the music they make; ..... and widely. The latter won a Grammy and still holds the record for longest running instrumental on the Billboard 100 after over 50 years. The former is, well, the Fab Four. Similar time in history, very different music, very different popularity amongst the musicians. In general, having been to my fair share of concerts around the world with muso-crazy females, IMO the 'like' comes from the muso's doing something 'out there' and different. Being popular as a man is about standing out from the crowd and when a musician is entertaining a crowd, they stand out, whether that be some patrons in the neighborhood pub or the star who packs the stadiums. They're 'out there' and getting noticed. I noticed this, and the difference between the types of music and popularity in grade and high school, with the difference between orchestral band and dance band and, of course, between being on the stage versus watching the stage. Lastly, music can and often does move emotions and women are really connected with emotions. Those feelings transfer and connect with the content and the person creating it. 1
JuneJulySeptember Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 They go nuts over them. Myth. They like the presence, status and popularity associated with certain types of more popular music. Most of the very best and most truly talented musicians in the world are virtual unknowns outside of a small and niche community and could not get groupie action at their own concerts. Think classical. Think jazz. But guys like Tim McGraw and Mick Jagger have legions of women throwing themselves at them.
Tiger Lily Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Why women like musicians...They go nuts over them. IDK...but it's true! Women don't go crazy for any creative type like they go crazy for a musician. Of course the power is a factor for women. But powerful actors, royalty, politicians, trust-fund babies don't make women go out-of-their-mind crazy like musicians do. There is a ton of sex appeal wrapped up in a singer, songwriter and/or dancer. And yes, not every musician is going to get the same reaction. That doesn't mean music isn't an effective attractor.
mortensorchid Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 TRUTH. I dated guys in bands for YEARS. Looking back sometimes, I wonder if maybe that was the cause of my track record being as it is, but they're flashy and bring up a desire inside you which you don't want to admit is there, but it is! I think you have to keep a few things in mind about them though, once you have this figured out, everything will be clear: 1) Image vs. Reality - You're all about the image that they are on stage, when they are off stage, it's another matter. Off stage he's a drunk too, or he's sweaty and disgusting and throws tantrums in both places. 2) Other women - Those other women are there for the same reason you are. If you are not going to accept the fact that this guy is going to be with other women on occasion, then you better not grab onto him and expect him to be your one and only. 3) Time to grow up - This is a hard one to accept, but you reach a certain point where you have to say that you're not going to be with that guy anymore. Or he has to get a real job, or you have to do this or that in order to make things happen. I don't want to go out with guys in bands anymore, bunch of dirty scene boys is what they all are essentially. Now I want someone who deserves me. Who is that? I don't know who that is anymore, if he fits a mold or something. Still, no more guys in rock bands. I'm done with them. 1
