Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?

Anthrpomorphize means to attribute human characteristics to creatures that are non-human.

Many of you seem to be imposing male values and tendencies on females in your speculation. Is there a word for that?

Women who are impressed by wealth or demonstrations and indicators thereof probably are gold diggers. If you are trying to impress her thusly, then she may well be your counterpart.

One of the things I've noticed about women and stereo speakers is that they don't like the symmetry that the speakers impose upon their decorating. Secondly, many ladies would prefer not to feature the speakers in the room like you probably do if you're concerned about using them to impress her or anyone else. In general, the whole "audio shrine" is offensive to the female eye.

There is an expression which says that children should be seen and not heard. Most women feel that, conversely, speakers should be heard and not seen.

All this is a roundabout way of saying "NO" to the original question.

paper,

Congrats. That's a very well thought out assessment of how these things work in the real world!

"In general, the whole "audio shrine" is offensive to the female eye"

My friend's wife covered speakers with thick ornamental blanket since they looked "offensive". Sound is very muffled and distant (but is very warm).

mate selection is, in many regards, a transaction. having money helps in that having money is better than not having money. that doesn't necessarily make the woman a "gold digger", but the reality is, in a transaction, each party is out to get something, so some amount of "trade" is fair. to borrow the words of john galt: "we are all traders in value". there is some truth to that statement although the goods-in-trade are not always (or exclusively) pecuniary.

Kijanki - Your friends wife probably added both color and texture to the sound with her tweak.

Paperw8 - You're right about the nature of transactions and I was remiss in not stating that women who place money as a high priority are probably gold diggers. Naturally, everyone in our system needs money. What they will do for money, how much they require and who they will trade with are probably all good indicators of the sort of person involved. Such ladies will generally not consider speakers as payment and amateurs probably will not either.

However, if she is taking you to the cleaners, she probably won't mind if you want to bring your speakers along.
