My Wife, Daughter and their female friends all Listen to much more music than I do using electronic equipment.
Females I know as associates through Work, also listen to much more music than I do, all using electronic equipment.
If a Audiophile is some body who enjoys music, especially music reproduced using electronic devices, then the female is surpassing the male in this area.
Where the Female is seen to differ to a Male attitude to being an audiophile, is their selection of electronic equipment is very portable, and they take part in their interest at numerous opportunities.
Do keep in mind terms such as Hi Fidelity and Audiophile are only about 70 years Old and were born from cleverly selected Marketing Spiel, such terms today are corrupted to mean what ever get attached to them.
In todays terminology, even somebody a 160 years past using Edison’s or De Martinvilles devices for reproducing Phono ( Voice, Sound) could have worn the Label Audiophile.
Have a look at live music events and tell me the observations are showing a Male being the larger proportion of attendees, these events are such successes as a result of Female Spending Power.
The Streaming Services really know how to attract the Female Population, their spending power has made streaming platforms revenues that are unimaginable.
Audio Equipment sold to those who lock themselves away in a room types, will not get much attention from a Female, as that as means of living for a hobby will be viewed a miserable experience.
The Female is very astute, better off keeping funds for having a few weekends away at Multi Day Music Festivals, enjoying numerous live performances listened to through Electronic Equipment, ( another abstract of being an audiophile).
The same as for Audiophile and being Female, extends to Photography in very similar measure, the Females are taking more images today than men.
There is a estimation that during the entirety of Film Photography, more images are taken Digital in the past Two Years, than the entirety of Film Photos taken historically. How about adding the Gross of all Digital Images taken and then compare the end figure to the Gross of Film.
Very few Females waste time trying to eke the betterment as a result of Post Editing, no Digital Dark Rooms, unless it an onboard one button filter option, way too many Photo Opportunities to get out and capture, instead of playing on Computer Screen. Men on the other hand, are the fuel to such marketing.
At a Sony Photo Exhibition I attended recently, I would state that 50% or more visitors were female on my day if attendance, and some heard in conversation really nailed the interpretation of certain images.
Those with an interest in music and are not seeing the Females presence, really are locked away in their rooms with the Curtains Drawn. Happy Hi Fidelity and Audiophilia.
