Where are the female Audiophiles?

John, I knew you would pop up in this thread !

AudiogoN, or anything audio related = Me

Home Shoppers Network, or anything related = Wife

Happy Holidays folks !!

Albertporter, you write:
"My counterpoint question is, Why do women shy away from competition"

Excuse me, but when I look around I see many successful competitive women.
Women who run countries (Margaret Thatcher) or who want to (Hillary).
Women who run major companies (Margaret C. Whitman at eBay)
Women who compete in sports, just look at the Olympics.

So I disagree, I don't think women shy away from competition, I think they shy away from high-end Audio and I can't understand why.

Just to add to what Pzuckerman said, if you don't think that women can be technical, ask them to figure out a phone or pick the optimal phone plan. I have absolutely no idea about either, yet every woman I have ever met has an inate understanding of these things.

Different wiring, plumbing and priorities.

So what if woman have better hearing? Does having great eyesight make you a great artist? Does having great tastebuds make you a great chef?

Having great of any of the above things usually makes you a good critic? Woman are better critics on any subject right?
