I seem to remember the hi-fi paying dividends with the ladies in the following way.  In college I had the best system, so people would want to hang out at my place warming up with a few drinks before we went out to the bars.  Usually that brought in a few hotties.  Granted they were attracted to the social aspect, but the hi-fi enabled that.  Of course late night often wound up back at my place too.  That's when the careful selection of mood music was key.  Safe bet was something smooth and sexy.  But every-once-in-a-while you could test your suspicions by playing NIN "I Want to $%#@ You Like an Animal".  If she was still smiling after that you knew you were in business!

But back on topic...how to attract the women?

Lower cost
Decor friendly
Easy access to lots of music without much hassle

but, in all seriousness, if you could make all the gear & cabling disappear, then most chicks would like audio a lot more...  most guys, too, likely.

Exactly!

It's either that or go back to a time when women knew their place.

Preach on Steve, Preach on.  If they wish to complain about the cables, thats fine - so long as they are doing it while in the kitchen making my sammich.

Think animal print finishes....

Yeah, that'll make them warm up to audio gear...

Mine is very accepting......accepting of the same $ I spend on gear.  Seriously, if (and I say if) she asks about what a new toy cost, then I make sure she knows she's committed to spend same league.  In my wife's case, it usually is toward various charities, so it's a win/win.

We just need some CDs to play at the shop that hypnotize them into liking high end equipment.

But seriously... my wife is great. I was all set to compromise and buy a pair of $3000 PMC FB1 and she convinced me to spend the extra cash and go with the OB1s. She actually wanted us to get the B&W 802Ds but theres no way I could have swung that and I think they're sort of ugly.

Funny you should mention that Denny!  When i was doing renders of my HT8's to see what colour to paint them, my g/f suggested i try something crazy, like an animal print, 'just to see how it looks'

Here's the result:

Well I have found that most dudes are not really interested in HIFI at all let alone women.  I did have an interesting development last Friday though.  A group of us were hanging out for a few hours at my place before going to a concert and there happen to be two ladies there that well preferred the company of ladies.  Both of them noticed the SB3 and were fascinated with the bottlehead pre.  They loved that I had the music sync'd outside and in the living room through two SBs.  Honestly I have never got more questions about my gear from any of my male friends.  Then I played Ani on the Zu. Too bad I have no shot.

No, I seriously like that... What are you using AutoCad or Cinema 4d... which 3d program.

Its the music men. Put on the right stuff. A little Julio goes a long way. It pains me to think Julio sitting on my TT.  The woman can watch TV. Leave my system alone. Don't even think of it I'm married.
      Now there is time for music and then time for woman. did I really respond to this? Oye!

Chicks......... gotta luv 'em!   

Hey Adam,

When you showed her the rendering, did things all of a sudden become PG rated?     aa

OMG guys, 6 pages and no one posted the correct answer.  Howard Stern demonstrated years ago exactly how to do it.  Just lay a big woofered speaker or subwoofer on the floor facing upward.  Have the hot chick straddle it with the volume turned way up.  Then you moan into the microphone until the ecstasy has her hooked.

So, are you saying Howard actually demonstrated this?  If so, it does confirm a long held belief.

A reenactment was in his movie, but I remember hearing him directing a caller through the setup, and then he provided the sound effect as stimulus on his morning show back in the mid eighties.  I'm sure today's subwoofers would really do the trick. aa  Howard had some great stuff at times.

How about huge excursion woofers with a dildo as the dust cap?
