Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?

If the speaker is classy in it's appearance some people (women) will notice. I love fine furniture and for me a speaker should look like a piece of fine furniture/art. If I don't like the looks of it I won't concider it, no matter how good it sounds. If a woman doesn't give a rat's behind about fine furniture/art, she probably won't be impressed by the speaker.

I occasionally used to give a co-worker, who I was very attracted to, a ride home. If I talked about my passion for audio, her response would be one of polite interest. One day she discovered a pair of Siltech G6 interconnects in my back seat (honest, they were just there; I, uh... borrowed them from a friend, OK?). I reasonably cautioned her to be careful with them because they were expensive. She bit, eh...I mean she asked how much? First there was disbelief, but as I went into a detailed explanation, her whole disposition changed. Suddenly, she had a million questions about my system. Before we could get to her place, she asked if she could buy me a drink - to repay me for my generosity in driving her home all these times. Prior to this, I was admonished if I missed a light. We shared three glorious weeks together that ended abruptly, of course, at the Audi dealer when I wouldn't make the down payment and co-sign. Oh well.

Phaelon do you still have the interconnects? Or did they lack synergy like your coworker did with you?

It seems the consensus here is that all women are "Golddiggers". Having 3 grown daughters I can tell you that simply is not true. Guys tend to asume it can't be them. It's because they are not rich enough or their car is not cool enough. No, it's you!

audio systems are very inefficient vehicles for impressing women. if that's your objective, you will get more bang for your buck (figuratively and possibly literally) by putting your money into a flashy car. cars are public, so driving a flashy car is a kind of "display" behavior that will get you noticed with little effort.

on the other hand, to impress a woman with your audio system, you've actually got to get her to go *into* your home. well, if you can get a woman to go into your home, then you have already made some impression on her, especially if you don't know her that well. by that point in time, there are already so many other things that would have had to have happened to impress the woman, that the audio system would be peripheral, at best.

for example, if you have a 750 sq. ft. "listening room" with 12 ft. ceilings, then you are probably living in a pretty big house. so your house would have made an impression on the woman before she even walked in the door.

on the other hand, if you are spending huge sums of money on audio equipment that are disproportionate with your surroundings, then the woman is likely to think of you as being a chump. displays of wealth are only effective if they are reasonably accurate indicators of your wealth. if a woman senses that you are stretching yourself to the limit to appear impressive, and you aren't actually as well-off as you might first appear; then she is more likely to think of you as being a fool with your money. that characteristic tends to not impress women so much...
