My female acquaintance said a guy playing the guitar is a red flag. Wtf? I always thought something like that is attractive to women. Have I been wrong?
>>
>>34761967
Women don’t know what’s cool.

>>34761967
>>34762019
more generalized statements on gender please, because ever woman is the same and every man is the same, there are no differences between individuals. also i am 12.

Cope and seethe
>>
>>34762025
Those generalized statements are based on observations where the majority of instances confirm the finding
>>
>>34761967
What does a red flag have to do with what a woman is attracted to? Nothing. Your acquaintance knows the guitar player (a wanna be who cannot support himself with his music) is not husband material but she'll fuck him.
>>
>>34761967
My guess is she's referring to the guys in college or house parties that just play the guitar to show off or pick up chicks rather than as a genuine interest. It's usually just a sign of an insincere douche. Playing the guitar can be attractive if the girl is 1. into guitar, 2. she knows that you're also into guitar, and 3. you both have good music taste that generally aligns
>>
>>34761967
always ignore what women say, go on their actions.

A woman might say guitar is a red flag, her exes might all have played it.
>>
overwhelming majority of women find playing an instrument attratcive. There is not one activity, look, skill, job, house, car, etc. where you cant find at least a minority of women saying they dont like it.
>>
>>34761967
Shes ha s acunt ex who plays thge guitar and is now projecting on all men. Disregard and fuck her straight in the pussy. Shes going to love guitar playing guys in no time
>>
>>34762238
Playing for the pleasure of it and insisting on making a living playing in some bar, yet starving, is different
>>
>>34761967
You should tell your female acquaintance to fuck off
>>
>>34761967
Literally ignore her. Playing an instrument is good and playing in a band gets you women. Just remember the following:
>Don't neglect other parts of your life. You need a day job if you play music because you will not be making a lot from going on stage.
>Don't be a gearqueer (where you gear cost in USD is more than the hours spent playing).
>Don't stagnate.
>Don't play wankery (well you can but most people are not into super technical music).
>Don't be a poser (see don't be a gearqueer).
>Don't play it at a party unless people ask.
>Don't make it your whole personality.
>Don't become a sexpest like some other people in various scenes.
I am probably missing some other shit but you are probably fine. Again just ignore her.
>>
Playing an instrument IS considered attractive. I'm guessing the woman you have in mind is bothered by the stereotype of musicians (or even artists at large) being self-centered and promiscuous.
>>
Drummers get all the chicks
>>
>>34761967
She means the kind of guy who brings an acoustic guitar to a party and starts playing when nobody asked him to.
It's like when a girl is a theater kid. They crave attention to the point it makes them unbearable to be around.
>>
>>34763289
If those people did not do that, who would?
>>
>>34763289
Ok, but that guy always , inevitably gets laid with some ditzy youger chick. Otherwise they wouldn't do it. Everyone else just tolerates it because they konw its his pussy getting move.
>>
>>34761967
>I always thought something like that is attractive to women.
It was. Back in the 60s. It stopped being attractive in the 80s. Your information is at least 40 years out of date.
>>
>>34763715
How did you obtain this information?
>>
>>34761967
Women are so confused right now they actually believe that if they have a clear emotional response to something it equals emotional manipulation which equals a red flag
>>
That's just her anon. Okay. Here's a rhetorical question, anon, the world can justify drinking piss and eating shit, do you follow the world if it does that?
>>
>>34763926
I was the guy playing guitar in the early 90s.
>>
>>34764071
>the world can justify drinking piss and eating shit,
Yes basically nobody does this.
>>
>>34761967
It depends where you live or if you are over 35. In a big artsy libtard city it's hot.
>>
>>34764163
Indians literally do this.
1.47 billion people think drinking cow piss and eating cow shit is normal.

Sweet Sheltered middle-class midwit zach does not know about india?

Definitely do not look up tyler Oliveira's video on youtube of the indian cow poo festival, you will eat your own words zach.

I fucking love guitar but I feel like the traits required to be a good guitarist makes you invisible towards women unless you are in a band. Women are attracted to spontaneity and sociability. Being a good guitarist requires a lot of solitude and a disciplined schedule ie studying every day 7pm-10pm.
>>34762238
>>34763289
I have realized recently that playing guitar for people is rude and annoying unless they say they actually want to hear you play. It sucks because I want to show people what I have spent hours working on but nobody cares. Its like loudly interrupting a conversation at a party by talking loudly about morrowind lore or James Joyce. Who cares about it other than those who are into it?
>>
>>34761967
Women born from 2000 or after are just plain retarded. I imagine you're young and so is your retarded acquaintance. Older women are retarded too but you're more likely to find ones that have a brain if their birth year starts with 19

>>34761967
Do guys like girls who improv math rock solos al the time
>>
>>34770422
You will never be a woman.
>>
>>34770422
No unless they're guitarists themselves
>>
>>34761967
If's a red flag exactly because it's attractive, anon.
>>
>>34764163
Okay.
>>
>>34762025
This is true, you learn with age women aren’t all the same. I’m 37 and my 20 year old wife doesn’t care about music at all but my 18 year old gf loves guys (like me) that play an instrument
>>
>>34761967
A zoomette told me guitar (especially electric) is the incel instrument.
Rock is dead, remember?
>>
>>34761967
>Have I been wrong?
Stop interpreting women's ramblings as logical- as they are often not. This >>34762238
>>34763289 is the answer. She's talking about annoying guys who do it for attention, instead of a real passion.
>My female acquaintance said a guy playing the guitar is a red flag
They are also talking about "Performative Males." Guys who do things just to try and attract women. Attention-seekers. Fakes. Creeps. The guys who go out of their way to try foods and post them online because they know they are trending. Those type of men. It doesn't have to be just guys who enjoy guitar as an instrument and musical art form.
>>
>>34762019
Even worse, they are being told by the algorithm that EVERYTHING is a red flag, so they stay single and miserable.
