Audiophile demographics?


Why are there a disproportional number of male audiophiles?
Not sure if this is a silly question, but speaking for myself, I have never met a female audiophile.
I am sure they exist, but their scarcity begs the question as to why.
Is it merely that men have more of the "mine is bigger than yours" mentality, do men love gadgets and tools or is it something more sinister?

And yes, quantum mechanics shows that matter really does conform to statistical probabilities.
What do you do with the reduction of the waves probabilities? is it "matter" that operate it?

Complex design is not synonymus with religion my dear....

But it is more simple to drown the fish this way is not it?

Ok i will not derail the thread no more....

it has been my long-term observation, that women who are really into music, seem to have some kind of cognitive compensator that fills in the missing bits/corrects the imbalances when listening to most consumer-grade gear, hence they lack the driving need for actual high-end equipment. 
@mahgister,

"IQ means little anyway....."


Are you sure about that? Have you tried hanging out with those above 120 and below 80?

I find through my interactions with some people that I’m constantly learning, and that with some others I’m caretaking.

Is it also just a statistical anomaly that people with higher IQs tend to be more successful in their chosen endeavours?

Intelligence matters, doesn’t it?
Who wants to deny that?

IQ tests are not the complete picture, no one would say that, but after over a century of refinement, they’re probably a good an indicator of it as we have right now.

Again, let’s ask why we do feel this need to homogenise differences?

I am not you, you are not me, but we can try, if we want, to cross that distance through communication, mutual respect and honesty.

Can’t we?
IQ measures the ability to recognize patterns. That helps with solving problems.

That can certainly contribute to one’s career success, but it is only component, and may be the smallest part.

Some think of this as book smart. But that’s not right. Some bookworms may not have a high IQ,but very high determination, which is another contributor to success. Psychologists call it grit, and it may be the biggest contributor.
Also, EQ, emotional intelligence is a significant part of success as well. That measures maturity and how to navigate situations socially, kind of like “how to win friends and influence people”.

Get someone with high scores in all 3 and I would bet they will achieve their goals.it could be fame, fortune, or whatever their definition of happiness is.
