Well I suppose I like to listen to music and go to gigs/festivals so I would generally be attracted to people who do the same, that's all!

Suppose so but it definitely wouldn't turn me off shaggin someone if they listened to crap music :L

I'm guessing it wouldn't turn pancake off either but perhaps he's talking more in terms of something a bit more than a shag.

What difference does it make what music they listen to?

There's often a whole universe of difference between a serious music lover and someone who just likes what the radio dictates. It's not a snobbery thing either.

Personally, music is too big a part of my life to sacrifice, I couldn't follow a girl around that just wants to go to 'commercial' clubs to bump n' grind to Calvin Harris.....not a hope in hell.

I can't generalize everyone though, let's be clear on that! But I think musical taste does, to an extent, dictate personality, social circle and lifestyle more than we give it credit for.

Wow that is a hair of a discussion here!

Each to their own I say.
However, I'd be quite interested in knowing your opinion on men shaving their armpits! (Most of my mates at home do it so I'm fairly used to it. It doesn't seem to be 'the thing' here though. Which I've gotten used to as well.)

So: Gentlemen, do you/would you shave it?
Ladies, what are you thoughts on that topic? Do you give a damn?

I would have a preference for whatever hair is there to remain there, including armpit hair!

I wouldn't fancy a man with a **** taste in music either. Wouldn't expect him to like the same stuff as I do but at least to have an appreciation for what I consider good quality music. Music is important to me, so it'd be important enough for me that we'd share that to some degree. Hardly childish.

I have such a weird and vastly varied taste in music. A sucker for anything original. Classical, electronic, loads of different metal and rock(not as much as when I was younger.) Good example of how wierd was I came across this piece on youtube the other day and loved it. The woman is immensely talented, which I love.

This attitutde seems really bizarre to me tbh. It's like if you met someone who is really attractive, in good shape, has a great personality and then they turn around and say, "I'm a heavy metal fan." :eek: Would that be an instant turn off?

I can't say it would bother me at all. No more so than a girl who is into kayaking or poetry. Dismissing someone based on their taste in music is just bonkers imo.

TBH, I'd have a somewhat similar attitude. Maybe not that bad but if someones idea of music was Katy perry, Rhianna, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus etc. I'd be slightly put off.

Well its not like you have to listen to it with them. That's why they invented headphones.

Funnily enough, they listen to music through other devices that don't require headphones these days.

Still don't have to listen to it though. If the OH is into crappy soaps she can watch them on her own. I can always go down to the shed for a bit of carpentry, which she has no interest in.

Really attractive - meh! Not important to me.

Heavy metal - I went out with a metaller for 3 years. Some of it I even liked. Metal heads would usually be into other stuff besides though.

I meant REALLY **** taste in music. Liked chart music and nothing else, for example. Tenner bets we'd never get along on that level. I might fancy him but it wouldn't go further than that. I'm not talking about just sleeping with someone, I'm talking about having a relationship with this fella.

I've never, in my 33 years on this planet, gone out with a man who liked just chart music. Would never happen.

Not talking about a guy with identical music taste but someone who likes music and not just what's on the radio. It'd be something that I enjoy sharing with the person I'm with, so it'd be important to me. Go to concerts together, have the music we both like on in the background when we're relaxing etc.

Maybe music isn't that important to you then.

If only she was as enthusiastic about it. Although one of the shelves I put up fell down last week so maybe that has something to do with it.

I'd end up going to gigs on my own, leaving her at home or whatever...I'd be going to three day electronic festivals and she wouldn't be too chuffed because i'd be dancing all night and she would be 'meh'....

I can just see the issues that would arise, but that's not to say it would be absolute deal-breaker, but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if she was into what I was into....i'm mainly referring to chart music though, I do like a bit of metal myself, and plenty of other genre's.....

.....but that over-polished radio hit stuff just grates on me really bad....to me, it's the equivalent of being spoon-fed. People seem to go for it because they really haven't started exploring the vast ocean of amazingly diverse music that the world has to offer.

I guess it's really important to me, because I've made it my mission for music to be my hobby, career and life, and I want to share that with the person I love...

But, all that said, it's amazing how opinions can change, and once cupid shoots me with his arrow, I might change my tune fairly rapid (PUN intended:D)

Well I like it obviously, but it wouldn't be a big deal what music someone else is into. It's like some men are mad into football and its just one of those things that women put up with whenever there's a match on. I doubt there's that many people who only like chart music though. It just seems like a really trivial thing to be a turn off, but that's just me.

You should go to the life festival man, the tickets are only €109( for now, they go up in price soon.) for 3 days of non-stop electronic music. Different types for different folks. I'm headin on me tod myself and I can't wait.

You're right about being able to have the right girl with you, being able to get high and dance the weekend away with your girl is definitely a plus. All the same I enjoy the single life.:)

I'm not too bothered about the drugs anymore, maybe a couple of years ago...but not now, I've developed a system where I drink very little(just enough to get loosened up on tha' floor), and smoke a bit of pot and I usually have a frikken epic night. Best thing is I remember every bit of it!

I was at Life last year! And I've got work there this year, setting up lighting before kick-off, so I get to enjoy the weekend! Line-up is released tomorrow night

:D:p

Who knows, maybe i'll meet my future S.O there this year, and by default she'll be into the same music as me!!
