Women !!!

My wife is just like what Luvvinvinyl describes. She likes good music well enough and can hear the difference between "ok" and "audiophile", but doesn't understand why I just don't "leave it alone... it was good enough before, wasn't it?!".

I wonder sometimes if women really hear sounds in the world the same way men do... maybe their ears interpret things differently, like the way people with color blindness see things differently. Maybe early ("cave") men, as the hunters and fighters, had to develop a different appreciation of sound/ears to detect prey and to remain quiet when stalking or sneaking up on prey or enemies? Maybe women needed sensitivity to the cries of babies, but with a different emphasis that predisposes them not to care about audiphile sound? Or perhaps we (men) like fiddling with equipment more, because we evolved as tool- and weapon-users first?

OK, probably a lot of sexist over-simplification there, but there might be some evolutionary basis for a genetic difference.... otherwise, why do so many men like this audio hobby, and so few women? I don't know why, but there must be a reason.
 
Arkay, that was a very good post.
I think you may have hit on something there.
Especially the part about womens hearing babies and man's need to play with tools.
I may just use your theroy next time i buy vintage gear and the wife looks at me like i lost my mind.
I may have lost my mind but i'm not gonna admit it to her.
 
'er indoors loves music..
however..the sum total of 'er indoors' interest in audio equipment is summed up in one word...
ipod :D
although she did let me upgrade the standard headphones to a pair of sennheiser mx-500 with inline volume control...

Cosmicdust, Quite an interestering post.
Now tell me again ,(what we the men of audio karma )should do to keep our significant others happy for the rest of their lives.
And if course what they can do to keep the men of audio karma happy for the rest of their lives.
 
I love girls. Especially the really hot ones. If I had the right women I could care less about transistors and tubes. I'd be busy making my own music :)

btw; Im on a PC at the moment and will be for the next week. Does anyone out there know how to do spell check on one of these bastids. I am away from home and miss my Mac dearly. Also don't want my idget side to show through.

Hiya Beerman,

The duty falls on the able shoulders of men alone and not women! We are responsible for the happiness of women. Their duty is well-defined in their Hearts and given an un-erring husband she will bloom like an Eternal Rose!

Thank you :-)
cosmicdust.
I dare you to step into Congress some day and say that! :D

My wife would agree with all of that, but if she has to bloom like an eternal rose somebody will have to pay dearly.

OK, let's all say the mans prayer.

I'm a man
And I can change
If I have to
I guess.
