Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?


I recently purchased a pair of speakers that I showed to a non-audiophile female friend of mine. She said they looked beautiful and asked how much they cost. When I told her, her jaw dropped. She then asked if I was using them to pick up hot chicks. Hmm...I told her the only people who get turned on by my audiophile speakers are balding middle-aged men. She had a laugh, but I wondered if anyone tried to impress a girl with his stereo system. High end is a male dominated hobby like sports cars. So have you found a woman who was turned on by your system. I have had no such look. I just get blank stares when I talk about my hobby to women.

Anthrpomorphize means to attribute human characteristics to creatures that are non-human.

Many of you seem to be imposing male values and tendencies on females in your speculation. Is there a word for that?

Women who are impressed by wealth or demonstrations and indicators thereof probably are gold diggers. If you are trying to impress her thusly, then she may well be your counterpart.

One of the things I've noticed about women and stereo speakers is that they don't like the symmetry that the speakers impose upon their decorating. Secondly, many ladies would prefer not to feature the speakers in the room like you probably do if you're concerned about using them to impress her or anyone else. In general, the whole "audio shrine" is offensive to the female eye.

There is an expression which says that children should be seen and not heard. Most women feel that, conversely, speakers should be heard and not seen.

All this is a roundabout way of saying "NO" to the original question.
Kijanki - Your friends wife probably added both color and texture to the sound with her tweak.

Paperw8 - You're right about the nature of transactions and I was remiss in not stating that women who place money as a high priority are probably gold diggers. Naturally, everyone in our system needs money. What they will do for money, how much they require and who they will trade with are probably all good indicators of the sort of person involved. Such ladies will generally not consider speakers as payment and amateurs probably will not either.

However, if she is taking you to the cleaners, she probably won't mind if you want to bring your speakers along.
Dracule1 - Your objective is not clear. If you want to attract women, ultimately YOU are going to have to keep their attention, not your possessions. That said, why do you care whether her initial interest is sparked by your car or your speakers? I would submit that your undue emphasis on the importance of these pieces of bait, causes you to attract women who are similarly focussed.
Cindi Lauper made this whole matter crystal clear back when Reagan was Pres. Girls just want to have fun. Make your speakers fun and they will be relevant to her. Otherwise they are just another stupid penis extension fantasy to be challenged or tolerated depending on how happy she is in general.

The counterpart of your speaker delusion is breast implants. Is that what you are looking for?
It amazes me that anyone would even pose this question. It seems so naive.

The greatest majority of women just don't care and the majority of those who do have adopted it because it is a huge focus of their spouse.

And in all cases, the best you could say is that she is interested. Why on earth would any woman be turned on by speakers, audiophile or not? These things are just hardware.

If you are counting on the successful conquest of women, I suggest you put some other arrows in your quiver. Your speakers aren't going to make her churn.
