I think you mean women are less gullible. Intelligence is not a huge factor. Many smart people are gullible.

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?

@rok2id, ’Maybe, just maybe, women are too intelligent to buy into, what a person has to buy into, in order to be considered an ’audiophile’.’ Women usually have a different and more complex relationship with their biology than men do. Hence men tend to indulge in flights of fantasy rather more than women who get regular periodic reminders of reality. Whether this is a good or a bad thing can depend upon one’s outlook or the use this indulging is being out to. Can you imagine a woman stressing over cable differences? Or getting into a debate over amplifier topology? There has been a very clever economically fuelled movement over the past 70 years to get women to behave as if they were men. Thankfully, for both sexes, it can never fully succeed. |
Women (non-audiophile) don't have any choice in the audio world. Non-a'phile (men & women) can't hear un-natural sound of hi-fi audio and all audio system in the world sound un-natural and veiled. Listening un-natural sounds is painful to non-a'philes' ears. Alex/Wavetouch audio |
