design a system that has no visible signs of any gear or speakers... ANYWHERE!!!

That's actually very good advice.

I've said for years that there are a large number of people out there, as many of them women as men, who love music, appreciate high quality, and have the disposable income to pay for it. But none of them would want anything to do with the way high end audio is served up by this largely myopic industry.

Just check out any of the show reports and see what this industry is expecting people to put in their living rooms. Is it any wonder this market is as small as it is and almost exclusively male?

Maybe that's better, hot chicks who let us be into audio with no hassles....more attainable?

"No hassles", the man says! Superbowl.... *cough* *cough*.... painting of audio room.... *cough* *cough*

On the "spousal acceptance of audio" scale, you zoomed so far past "no hassles" that you've set the benchmark! And more power to the both of you for it, my friend!

Of course, the fact that she so gracefully tolerates the semi-random visits of all those crazy audiophile-types is even more telling!

Gentlemen, I believe you just have to play the right kind of music. Give her a book or some reason to sit and relax and play some sultry R&B music. I have had a couple of girls take the SB remote and start cycling through playing what their little hearts desired. It helps to have a comfy couch as well.

If anyone needs suggestions fo rmusic, let me know.

I agree, I'm in my mid-20's and I'm single, I get my fair share of women (but could always use more). Generally, I find that women care more about the music that the equipment producing it. It's the same thing with computers, they care more about the computer in terms of browsing facebook, chatting with friends and shopping online than what inside the machine (e.g. type of processor, graphics card etc...)

I could go on to say the same sort of thing about cars...

I do remember reading somewhere that good low end bass response does something to excite women deep down but I cannot find the source.

I think the source for low frequency impact was Howard Stern!

It might help if you got some hot guys into it first.

I agree with pecker, what's with all the fat balding guys.

hey, mebbe that's why my s.o. likes all the gear laying about, i ain't a balding fat guy!

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. yust not us audiophile geeks!

Excerpt:

Quote

TUBE GEAR MAKES WOMEN HORNY: This is one of the great mysteries of tube gear, and I have speculated on this subject for decades. I have discussed this phenomenon with hundreds of men, women and dogs, and all agree with me. I am still unsure if it is the profound pleasure of the musical beauty that women respond to, or the beauty of the equipment, or some other mysterious undefined dimension that incendiates the fires burning in a women’s loins for ecstatic union. Why do I mention this? It is a responsible warning for men who have taken a vow of celibacy, like myself, and don’t want to be sexually harassed by women. My advice is DON’T BUY TUBE GEAR if women can easily take sexual advantage of you. It may not be worth the hassles and the terrible shame. Of course, on the other hand, if your soul has been forged in the fire of truth, and your are strong, you have nothing to fear.

And there you have it, from a doctor no less.

One thing that turns almost any woman off is the mysterious male inclination to obsess about the minutae of mechanical devices - the more complex the better.

What audiophile has not lusted after the lirpa steam powered CD transport, for example, and what woman gives a hoot? Although on second thought, and keeping Harvey Gizmo Rosenberg's perspective in mind, maybe I'm wrong on this.

Turning the casual young woman into an audiophile may be as difficult as trying to neuter a fully awake and aware male lion with a pair of rounded tip scissors. If this prospect isn’t difficult enough as is, the proposition to bypass this step and go straight towards attracting good looking girls to high end stereo may qualify as “mission impossible” material.

They just don’t care. Unless the average age of the audiophile drops by a measure of 20-40 years, odds are this will be a continuing trend. Sure, there may be a few girls that find the stereotypical fat, balding, wrinkled, grey-haired, etc audiophile to be an object of lust. I’d be careful though. In case you do stumble across one of the rare said breeds – there is a great likelihood that they’ll have a large adams apple.

For the very (very) few of you are truly young (read; have a potential chance to bring home a good looking girl); take the path of least resistance. Form and Function. Build a good looking, excellent sounding system. She’ll be impressed with your taste of style, your sense of class and hopefully your taste in music. If not, F$#@ it. She’s there and that should be good enough for you.

Actually, you could make it easy on yourself and just give up and get a Bang & Olufsen set up!

If there were any women out of the 10,148 on this forum, perhaps we could ask them!

This thread brings back memories to the only time a number of (good looking) girls ever responded well to my stereo. This was back in 2000/2001 when I was all of 17/18 years old. I was rockin' my first real stereo system; a pair of mighty Polk Audio RT2000 P towers and a Pioneer receiver. Nah, it wasn't hi-fi, but I didn't know any better at the time. Ah, bliss... Anyway, two girls in particular hounded me for years, begging me to give them the stereo rig. No, it alone didn't make them take their clothes off. That was my job. But once they were off, the system did help set the mood in a very, very memorable way.

Wait, why'd I get into hi fi again? damn.

mcullinan · « **Reply #36 on:** 3 Oct 2007, 08:14 pm »

On the balding note, this causes the music to encounter yet another reflection surface and may hinder sound quality. That is why I propose the Real Trap Hat... for men with those problem sound reflecting areas.

Actually, I bet there are chiks out there that are desirous of the full one on one bald experience... or happenining... or event...

I've had a few women respond very nicely to my system. But they always want to hear Cat Stevens.

My wife tends to be a busy body. Always has a list of little things to do, so she doesn't like it when I can easily find time to kick back and listen to some tunes. I've found it best to help knock-out a few of the larger chores around the house and then encourage her to bring some of her stuff down stairs and hang out while she goes through her paper work, research, web-surfing / shopping, etc. The only problem is that then she wants to chat while I want to listen!

So here is the real trick, learn how to stare at her lips moving while you listen to the music....you just have to learn how to tune out the background noise. If you're lucky she won't ask you any questions.
