Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?


I recently purchased a pair of speakers that I showed to a non-audiophile female friend of mine. She said they looked beautiful and asked how much they cost. When I told her, her jaw dropped. She then asked if I was using them to pick up hot chicks. Hmm...I told her the only people who get turned on by my audiophile speakers are balding middle-aged men. She had a laugh, but I wondered if anyone tried to impress a girl with his stereo system. High end is a male dominated hobby like sports cars. So have you found a woman who was turned on by your system. I have had no such look. I just get blank stares when I talk about my hobby to women.

"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).

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.

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.
Gentlemen, my last post concerned one specific instance and was, in no way, offered as support for any thesis on the character of women. Nobody's daughter's honor need be defended. The intention of the post was light hearted humor which is how I interpreted this thread "Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?" Come on!
"women who place money as a high priority"

Very shallow women indeed!

Myself - I like these great qualities in a woman, that are often praised by superficial men.
