Why do almost all women today hate home audio?

The majority of women I know love home audio (as in having music in the home), as do the men. However few of them, either sex, just sit down just to listen to music or put anywhere near the thought most of us do into a system for that purpose. I can say that the men tend to place greater interest into the equipment side of the equation. 

Mewsickbuff, in all fairness it has been only 25 hours between your 1st and 2nd post. When into a listening session what do you enjoy listening to and on what system?  

Sometimes woman don't like their dudes to spend too  much money and devote themselves too much to their components.
Audio has nothing to do with that.
I still prefer finding woman I like weather she likes audio or music or don't.

Sorry I asked the question!

I use to know many single women, from years gone bye, that did enjoy listening.

mesch, thanks for the acknowledgement. On my days off I usually listen to music mid-morning until about 6 or 7 pm, then I watch TV.  What I listen to varies greatly in any given session (not always sitting in the sweet spot).  Sometimes a whole cd, sometimes a song or 2 from multiple cd's.  My system begins with the Signalyst HQ Player.  From there, a Marantz receiver, Calyx DAC, Monitor Audios with an SVS sub.  If headphones, it's Violectric HP amp and Hifiman.  This combination is musical bliss to me. And that is not to say I wouldn't greatly enjoy other people's systems, too. Evidently there's a multitude of combinations to make music sound wonderful.

Honestly, and I'm going to get a lot of hate, so I dare only say this while a political convention is going on in the hopes that anyone reading this will have their bile already spent! :)

I think it's what men are listening to. Women LOVE listening to my system.  Card-carrying audiophiles not so much.

Of course, I love women, and I love my music system, so it works out for me, but the more time I've spent looking around and comparing my notes to what "audiophiles" like it rarely matches up. It could very well be that I tend to be isolated so don't pick up on the gestalt I would otherwise.  My system is pretty natural to me.  Not that it's necessarily better than anyone else's, but rather, it serves no one's notion of what a good system should sound like but my own. I also like Brussels Sprouts.

Perhaps if I knew how to make friends, I would have been exposed more to their tastes and my own preferences would be different.

My point, as always, buy what you like.  I know I"m insensitive and tend to type too bluntly, but really I hope to add constructively to the conversation.

This is part of why I started a thread on what speakers do women like, in the hopes that I'd hear from women and find out if it was different or not. Assuming either way without asking seemed like a bad idea.

Best,
