Lack of Female Representation


So who can explain the near lack of females in our hobby?  There are far more women discussing football than audio, by a long shot.  There are a lot more women into fixing up their cars as well.  I just can’t think of a hobby, other than ours, where representation is so close to zero.

I called this thread to my girlfriend's attention.  Want to comment I asked?  "No".  So I will speak for her.  Put words into her mouth.  I am allowed to do this with Audio.  She doesn't care.

I have met "Audiophile" women.  Walk the walk, talk the talk  type of Audiophiles.   Knew equipment, manufactures, specs... 12ax7, 6550 made sense to them.  Very very few.

My girlfriend loves music.   She CAN nitpick sound better than I.  Does not know that terminology.  But notices, Why does ______ sounds so and so? Glory hallelujah  she noticed amongst other things the string bass sounded better than the old speakers.  Ultimately does not care.  Most women don't care about the "hobby".  She/they are more about what they look like.  Organization.  Keep the speakers out of her way.  Little apartment, I can appreciate that one.  She's not one to sit and concentrate on the presentation.  She's doing other things while the music plays.  Most of the time I do the same.  It's playing right now while I'm typing this.  While very few women do indulge in audio like we do.  Most don't care. Men and Women.  What come out of their smart phones is just fine.
Did you ever think that sgreg was being deliberately provocative to get the sensitive among us upset? Good on you if you were joking. If not then I think it may be time to revaluate your relationship. Just sayin!
sgreg1,
You can complain a bout her all that you want, but YOU chose her and married her.
