PSA: An average guy suddenly looks extremely attractive next to a guitar

[Anonymous]

Maybe I'm better looking than I know, but I get hits galore from every OLD site I've ever perused.

Women just seem to like some instruments more than each other. Guitar for sure. The average saxophone is going to get more attention than, say, a tuba.

+1

The pecking order is something like this: Guitar > Saxophone > Piano > drums > Clarinet > Trombone.

Piano is the foundation for all instruments. Once you master the piano, transition to another instrument is quite easy.

Definitely a man-magnet

Wonen don’t need magnets. Often, there problems are too many guys pursuing.

My son's buddy plays French Horn. Throwing clarinet ahead of trombone has me wondering where the horn falls in the pecking order!

I was at church yesterday for Sunday Easter and there was this 21 years old young man playing acoustic guitar in a band for Sunday service.  I later found out that he just recently graduated from college and relocated to the DMV for work.  Yesterday was his first time playing with the band but he practiced with them multiple times prior to yesterday's performance.  Needless to say,  he was absolutely phenomenal with the guitar.  After the service and food reception, he gave an unforgettable performance and could see that all the young ladies couldn't take their eyes off him when he played "Ave Maria".  Some ladies were very aggressive and asked him if he was still single and wanted to date him.  

Kids, if you want to get women, listen to your parents and learn to play the guitar.  It will pay off when you become an adult.

Not to me, they typically look like wannabe tools.

Ew, no. Guitarists always look like greasy pricks.

We took seven photos both indoors and outdoors, and used them in their profile on match.com and bumble sites. In the description, we stated that we are young professionals with a good salary working in hi-tech, looking for a romantic relationship. We also listed that we both played D1 college sports. After six weeks on match and bumble sites, they got a few hits here and there. We also reached out to about 50 ladies but got rejected by almost all of them. In other words, it was pretty much a failure.

In the seventh week, we replaced four of the pictures from the profile with pictures that showed us with acoustic and electric guitars. In the description, I said that we play guitars as a serious hobby and added a few links on YouTube that recorded music that we play such as Eric Clapton, Miley Cyrus, John Mayer, etc.. Within three days, we were flooded with requests from women who were interested in going out with us, many of them were the same ones who rejected us before.

Bottom line, you will go from a five to a ten if you know how to play a musical instrument, especially a guitar. Glad I didn't give up on guitar when I was 14 years old.

You’re still a douche bag

I’m a woman and new guitarist (taking lessons). So far nobody seems newly interested in me. But it’s classical guitar, which I understand is not as hot unless you’re into Bach.

It's not hard.

Here are the things/props that make a man's dating profile instantly more attractive:
- Guitars
- Dogs, especially German Shepherds, Golden retrievers, or German Shorthaired Pointers
- Your own pickup truck with your own real tools in it
- A surfboard, bike, snowboard, skis, other outdoor equipment that you know how to use

Props that make you less attractive in your profile:
- someone else's car
- Your bathroom mirror, that you are using to take a selfie
- A gym mirror used for a selfie
- red solo cups
- some celebrity or politician you want to namedrop

Any idiot can strum simple chords on a Stella guitar.

Prefer a lead guitarist, who is an actual musician. Playing quiet notes and Melodie’s, not hippie chords and posing.

Quick notes and melodies

We don't always get along, but he's objectively attractive.

Thanks for letting us know you have a tall, moderatly talented, guitar-playing husband. It added to the discussion significantly.
