You can't force me to care about your hobby of playing an instrument by scolding me that I'm a terrible person any more than you can force me to think you are attractive even though you are fat by scolding me that I'm a terrible person. There are countless things you can spend your time doing that I don't care about, and indeed, don't respect. If you are honest, you will admit you are the same way. |
NP. At least we know the PP doesn’t care about punctuation or coherent writing skills either. Why would you want or expect someone with such a low education level to value accomplishment? Excellence in any facet of life is clearly beyond their limited abilities. School must have been a nightmare. |
Yeah, we prefer cheerleaders because of "societal conditioning." Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night. |
This is exactly right. It's appealing, but it isn't magic. |
Thank you! Do you play an instrument? I became a professional musician and play in an orchestra in a European city. It’s been great. While I certainly don’t think all American men are boorish, they are generally not my type because art is much less valued in the US. I played on some albums and toured with a few popular bands back in my early 20s. The money was great but the egos and drugs were not. The main qualification was being attractive. The most beautiful of our group was a violinist. She ended up with a foreigner too, though very rich Americans guys were clawing at her door. |

This makes me think of the guys in the Barbie movie angry singing at the barbies. So many mediocre guys who play guitar think it makes them hot. Ugh. |
If you hate women this much you should date men. |
A different PP. Thank you for posting! |

The men I’ve dated viewed it as a marker of me being sophisticated and cultured, and therefore an extra notch in status. But it didn’t impact their attraction to me.
The exception might be the two musicians I dated. |

Not really. --someone who actually became a CEO rather than marrying the offspring of one. |

I don't know -- my husband loves it when I play piano and gets all shy and sweet. And I used to play the violin for a band and my boyfriend at the time always liked it.
I don't know if they got lusty the way that women do around guitarist (I get that), but they like it. |
Yeah, it's very "Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice" |
