Why all or most audiophiles are men?


I googled to find an answer but no avail. Something very interesting.

Music is about action - like sport and cars. Men are obsessive about improving what they have, can do and showing off. It is all fundamentally related to habits that are formed to ensure successful reproduction - the Peacock display. A woman will choose a man of strong action or what most women believe can translate into a capable motivated successful provider and leader of her children. A man of status.

With Women reproductive success is about relationships, intuition, caring and demonstrating great motherly skills in raising and protecting her successful kids. The men look to women to guide them, support them, and complement them in all these relationship areas where they are generally much weaker. The woman is looking for a man she can trust completely (go on one knee and promise everything eternally), a good reliable father for her children. A man is always looking for recognition and support, a wife that is devoted.

kind of simple really - strong capable Knight in shining armour saves beautiful, intelligent and emotionally talented princess. Knight is dumb in complex relationships but black and white with loyalty, honour and fearlessly slaying the dragon. That story doesn’t work as well the other way round. A smart lady can be insanely demanding and controlling but she will never criticize or berate the character of her man - because having their most trusted partner undermine them is pure poison and totally demotivating to most men (who are insecure).

Women are the stronger more secure sex, by far.

Women are interested by influence, connections, image and appearance - everything to do with relationships.

Men are interested in skills and tools - everything to do with physical activity from fishing to cars and sport.

There is significant overlap in the middle of this spectrum but these are the two extremes.

I thought about this too. Although there ARE women who are audiophiles, for the most part women are too smart to buy expensive and over priced boxes of wires that play recorded music.
Men are the dumber ones in the species and spend far too much money on this hobby we call audio.
Agree totally with 2psyop. A great deal of what I read here and elsewhere about high end hi-fi smacks of utter ridiculousness that takes a man to fall for. 

There are exceptions. I do not have an explanation for Elizabeth's propensities.
