brad1 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Depends on who the guy is. Depends on who the girl is too. Girl's don't all do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Depends on the guy (and girl), I would think. Not only "looks," but the kind of person, he is. Too simplistic? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 And attractive compared with whom? The banjo player? Naturally. The drummer? The singer? Maybe not as much. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Girls? Probably. Especially if there are no guys with german or italian cars nearby. Women? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmonics101 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Well gosh darn, test out your hypothesis. Next time you go to your usual social function, take yer axe with ya and walk around and mingle and see what happens. If you can get through the door without freakin' everyone out, I'd say that would be MAJOR success and you'll definitely have all eyes on you Harmonics101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I say its a myth. Its not the guitar...its the potential fame and fortune that gets em....excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 And...only the ones, that can really play 'em! I don't think just "having one," is enough...unless the guy is "hot," to begin with? It's probably a combination, of both...if the guy can play, but is "butt ugly," she'll just go for the better looking singer, bass player, or drummer. But then...Keith Richards married a "super model," so...???? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidl Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Now if you were a pro athlete that played guitar, you would have to beat the ladies off with a stick. Me, I'm more of an athletic supporter with a guitar. No stick required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'd say "yes," but that's a qualified "yes." As has been mentioned, girls are just like guys - they're individual human beings. And in one's later teen into the 30s sort of years, those of us who are unattached, male and female, tend to be even more interested in pairing up that those older thanks to hormones as well as intellectual and emotional "needs" for relationships that make us feel good. The guitar player who plays "out" has the advantage of appearing more self confident - especially those who are standing up pickin' and probably doing some singing on stage. That's regardless of music style. That tends to be attractive to girls and - let's face it, if it's a girl picker/singer, they're attractive to a market segment of the male population that finds that same self confidence attractive. Again, though, I think the term "market segment" may be a good way to describe a portion of an appropriate population for questions like this. Depending on style of music, the "crowd" involved around that scene, etc., you'll find different responses. One error, though, that I think young people make is an assumption that boys and girls are so different. In one sense, we're not. See Maslow - and note there wasn't much differentiation in terms of sex in terms of a person's "needs." OTOH, one's background and, broadly speaking, education, will affect one's perspective after the basic physiological survival needs are met. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cover theories in one of my modules at uni. David Merrill and Roger Reid said that there are only 4 different personalities, David McClelland say everyone has 3 basic needs: achievement, power, and affiliation (yes its different to what maslow says). But then from the other point of view you must consider what Herzberg says, which is that not everyone is money motivated, therefor what some people have said on this thread about girls liking the prospect of potential fame and money wouldnt apply to all girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega1 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Well, I guess I'll say yes... but would like to point out that you've just asked a bunch of largely male guitar players if chicks find guys with guitars attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabs Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think it depends on if the girl in question is into music, and espically rock music.. If yes then yeah id say it helps. I was told that it did "turn her on" as such and when she first came to my place she said it sealed the deal lol (many years after she told me that). But then im divorced now, so what does that say?? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Has NO ONE ever heard about 'groupies'? You know...they exist.... and Pharmacists/Accountants don't generally have them! Rock Bands, generally do, (as do Baseball/Football/Basketball players). I've shown the photo on here about the night Janet Planet met Van Morrison.... I was there.... she zero'd in on him like a vulture...(he didn't stand a chance!). He's not a picker, but the singer in a Rock Band, (THEM), and Janet was a groupie......(so was my first wife...and like poor Van.... we both learned to NEVER marry a groupie!)
