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.

"If you want to attract women, ultimately YOU are going to have to keep their attention, not your possessions."

Good point!

Macrojack, I'm just making light of the situation ;-) I'm not interested in attracting any woman with my material possessions. I have a groovy girl friend who makes me happy. I am somewhat surprised by how many audiophiles have had issues with women who are only interested in their money. Somewhat comforting, but sad that so many women are this way.

"If you want to attract women, ultimately YOU are going to have to keep their attention, not your possessions."

I would think it's a two-way street. Both parties have to keep each others attention. If I followed your advice, I would lose interest pretty quick, unless she does the same.

It is not that to many women are purely intrested in your money, if you really have any. It is the fact that you assume that is all they care about. You assume that it is the woman and not the guy's ISSUE. And it does work both ways. Both individules must see something in the other. Even if it is his/her speakers. Although this is highly unlikely, at least for him. As far as your girlfriend, does she know you referr to her as "groovy"? I mean is this a "Monkeys" episode? Or maybe the "partridge family"? Either way, stick with the car. And for the record, that is a pun, someone who showes off his or her possessions is likely trying to atract the same in kind.

This really is an old man's hobby...I don't remember the last time I've seen the frequent usage of the verb "courting"!

Koegz, instead of groovy, how about "far out" or "bitchin"? or may be "swell"? The car that I drive on weekends is something I dreamed about since I was 13. Has nothing to do with impressing the women. I have not been in the market so speak for past 10 years. I still love the same girlfriend.

True it goes both ways, but I get a lot more attention from women since I got my car. But don't get ruffled. There are still many truly "swell" women out there.
