I'm always disappointed by the fact that I can`t meet girls that share my musical passion...
Is it the same for you?

it's like: who cares.
Man, I'd rather have a gf who can show me a totally different kind of music I can learn to apreciate.
It's be ok if they like idm, but it wouldn't really make much difference, otherwise it'd be too much like goin out with a female version of yourself, or something.
Boring conversations, no playful arguments etc etc

I'd like atleast to meet a girl that would share my pation for music, that atleast would understand my excitement for a new AE release, or why I love to spend afternoons on my couch with a pair of headphones.
I don`t say that she has to be a copy of me, but I would love for once a girl with something in common.
I'm tired of going out with girls and have nothing to say to them except dumb jokes.
Or maybe I'll have just to wait till I get to college =\

having someone just like you is boring. why not look at it like a challenge to get her to open up musically to different styles of music....maybe you'll something from her. it's about sharing things.....not being twins =0)

seriously.....with patience people can learn to like something that initally they didn't like or get into.
the relationship needs to be worth it to you. music is not everything.....contrary to what a lot of you think now. it's a nice commonality to have, but again you want someone who stimulates your mind, that will keep things going long after RDJ starts making elevator music....tee hee

My girlfriend and I get along great though our tastes in music vary considerably.
We have some common picks: Tori Amos; Nine Inch Nails; The Beatles, to name a few. But then we have our own stuff. She's into stuff I can appreciate that isn't really up my alley--Type O Negative for instance. I like all kinds of stuff that would drive her nuts. It's fine with me that she doesn't share my love of AFX or Autechre (she likes the name though--she even says it in a really cute voice!) :) But the point is, the personality is important, not the styles of music they like. If Lindsey listened to nothing but Slipknot/Eminem sorts of things, I'd still love her. I'd still value my time with her if we ended up listening to flavor of the month records instead!
Also, she thinks IDM should stand for "Internet Dork Music" (and I agree) because it's music for computer geeks ;)

It would be totally different if I'd find out later that my gf liked brittney spears and nothing else, then I'd still love her... But if I found out before we got togeather I'd probably never considder anything more serious tan a one night stand. It just feals so repelling... I can't really explain. :/

"seriously.....with patience people can learn to like something that initally they didn't like or get into."
I know that, but they don`t really pick up the passion. It seems like to me as if they are making an effort to be liked, for then droping any interest in it two days after we break up =\
And I totally agree that it is important to be intellectually stimulated and it is not about music.
But what good does it do if she is all about politics and social issues, while I'm all about music?
I'll be bored to tears when she speaks, and will be she when I talk.

you're being unrealistic to believe someone will have the same passion about ANYTHING that you have.
you are setting expectations about women and you will always be disappointed. why not accept them for who/what they are, you'd like the same thing in return.

Me: *puts on massive headphones* Girl: Why do you always have such big headphones? Me: Because I can hear the music without any distractions. Girl: Then it must be some good music, let me hear it. *Puts on headphones* *Eybrow tension* Girl: Grayson, why do you have to listen to such weird music?
It happened to be in the middle of All The Children Are Dead, oh well.

I think I actually DO hate girls... I never develop crushes or want to be with anyone. Only once in my life, and I fucked that up! I'm content to be alone, that's my lot in life.
I don't know anyone, male or female, that likes IDM where I live, seriously. I met a Kraftwerk fan once, and asked if he liked Autechre... never heard of them. Christ...
