Why do almost all women today hate home audio?



Why do almost all (99%) of women never seriously, sit, and listen to home audio through even one album?

I knew many, many women that listened, and had there own stereos, in the late 60's and 70's.

They even had big record collections, and some even had real-to-real tape recorders.

Why did they disappear?

What changed?

Women like to talk. They love to talk. It actually releases endorphin for them. And to sit down and quietly listen, it really isn’t what they’re designed to do. Music events like concerts on the other hand, lots of girls.

I agree all. Many men like talk too. In the live band cafe or concert (natural sound), many men and women are talking loud happily. However, in our audio rooms (and in audio shows), people are quiet. It is because all audio sounds are un-natural and people can’t hear natural sound when they are listening un-natural audio sounds.

People can’t hear natural and un-natural sounds at the same time. The ears and brain must switch between different sound modes. It is very irritating and tiresome even for audiophiles if anyone talks (natural) while listening hi-fi sounds (un-natural). Also, almost women (and non-audiophile men) can’t switch to un-natural sound mode and listening hi-fi sound for a long time ( >10 minutes?) is like a torture to them. Alex/Wavetouch

This thread is like an MRI capable of revealing every troglodyte, misogynist, sexist, Fox-viewer, and neanderthal out there.

I love it when old guys ‘splain how young people listen. Its like watching a Kremlin debrief….

... and women vinyl reviewers, and there are a good number of those, will discuss the sound qualities of various pressings just as much as any male vinyl geek would. Some folks of any demographic who are into sound are into it more from the source point of view, like the disc, than the gear point of view. All good.
