Why all or most audiophiles are men?

Men are very competitive and a bit more compulsive and obsessive about things...  I am a women that loves electronics but I don’t obsess over it and definitely not enough to pay thousands of dollars for cables and better electrical outlets “really guys”. Actually, I am currently looking at a Pass Labs and Verity speakers to buy and taking my sweet time to make the right decision. I started my own thread in Audiogon a few months back under “Best multi channel amp and pro for 2 channel music listening”. I have been researching for months now and taking my time to prevent making an impulsive purchase.  I think we are more practical in that sense and we use our logic for survival more than instinct. It also comes down to being a perfectionist which I consider myself to be and if music sounds better in a 10k amp to me is worth the money, but I d____ better hear the difference. I think there are a lot of women out there that also enjoy this hobby but men have come forward and women have remained in the back ground, perhaps not enough exposure or maybe harshly judged for lack of technical knowledge but we do love music at its best...

You can explain this without putting down men and their hobby in the process. I don't think it makes women smarter, more sane, or conversely make men idiots, or show offs or any of the other ridiculous explanations I've read. I think as maguiar102 says, men are more compulsive about certain things, especially electronics, or cars. But believe me, of you have ever seen some of the women I know talk about the things they're interested in-decorating, their personal appearance, fashion, you would think the same thing.
It's just what we were socialized or wired to do. 

Nice!  I complement all, almost all, on your ability to laugh at yourself.  I am married and this has been the best thread I have seen....lots of smiles and laughs.  For instance, "if you were married, you would know how dumb you are.  I get reminded all the time" and if you disagree on what an average audiophile looks like, go look in the mirror.

We are dorks and geeks in general and the best part is we can laugh at ourselves.  Thanks for the tread.

Women like to talk. Men like to listen. 
Example: In your experience, how long will a woman remain silent/not check her phone when having a listen to your special system? Not long. - No interest.
Women will have background music, just on low enough to not interfere with the conversation....the TV is often preferred to cover the silence (!? -easier to turn on). Large, expensive speakers are not part of the decor they envision in their very-rarely-used formal living room. ( "Keeping up appearances", -PBS.)
So here's a freebie tip for the marketing department: I once actually suggested this to Gallo/I own Gallo Nucleus Reference -definitley not wife friendly- but with regard to their smaller, affordable, baseball sized sphere speakers on graceful "invisible" spaghetti stands. I witnessed an opportunity to introduce newly weds to great sound at bridal shows! These shows are surprisingly popular, very well attended, but then most women do get married don't they? So, all these excited brides to be are coming to these shows thinking of composing their households and how to spend their money. Now, the booths are probably more affordable than those at audio shows, and there's no competing adjacent sounds. You're sure to be a center of attention & you'd be presenting attractive living rooms with great sound at attractive prices to most of America! Mate with an all-in-one, wi-fi capable, Pandora receiver, and one button gives you "Parisian Brunch"  or "Sunday Afternoon Solo Piano" maybe "Cinderella". You're trying to get in on the entry level of household formation....a "Happy Meal" approach."
 - And here's the kicker: These brides-to-be are all starving themselves to fit into that dream gown. Every one of them...they're starving! These are mostly morning shows, A bowl of potato chips will be sure to keep them around, chatting, in a fun, party atmosphere....with your music.
Eh?

I wonder if men use music to tame their male harshness..
