I dislike to talk about women or men as a group... but, why is it that VERY few women find e.g. music on their own?
What I mean is that (according to my experience) most women who listen to experimental electronic music began doing so after a male* friend of theirs introduced them to the genre (or some artists of the genre).
* or female, but that seems to be more rare
ah, sorry if this seems like generalizing and stuff, but do you know what I mean?
comments are appriciated.

yes, I know exactly what you mean.. it's almost like women doesn't even like music sometimes... I've never talked to a girl in real-life that has any preferences in music.. they say that if they don't like it, they tune it out...

most girls i know hardly even listen to music, its more of a background thing to them. None of the girls i know would ever sit down and listen to an album and really listen to it.

i've never seen a woman concentrate on music. they usually leave it in the background. experimental music requires more attention than that to get into.

I absolutely haven't a clue why this is the case, but i often wonder about it too. I've given squarepusher and boc tracks on cd to a few girls i know and they liked them a lot, but not enough to get really carried away about.

it all boils down to evolution (or what ever)......some ‘men’ originally were and still are hunters and have in the back of heads to hunt things down...ie animals, money, music, TV channels and women
‘Some’ females don’t feel the urge to hunt things down, they rely on the male to do it for them
I was watching some shit on discovery channel the other night about this crap which sadly stuck in my brain.....
please dont hurt me pOgO

Girls who I've met don't listen to experimental kinds of music, Some liked Clouddead when I put that on the once. I've never really met a girl who is absorbed by music the way in which some men are. Shame.

Yeah, the girl I play a lot of different stuff to only ever 'likes' the stuff, occasionally with easier going stuff she'll really enjoy it. But there is a definite lack of enthusiasm.

I agree with the majority of opinions here. I see it myself all the time. Women never seem to 'feel' music like I do and other guys do. Like I play stuff to my friends (the female ones) and they only seem to comment on the track as a whole and stuff and how they just like it or don't like it. I get completely absorbed in music and I listen to everything that goes on in music. This is why I can't stand the type of dance music my sister likes (you know, the type). I mainly like the music I like because of the way it makes me feel. Unlike many women i'd imagine. Wow this sounds sexist.

Heh, this thread reminds me of being really drunk and playing a female friend the venetian snares remix of "skelechairs" really loud, and having no idea why she didn't think it was the best thing ever.

I'd say that all of my girl friends over the years, were enthusiastic, and loved music just as much as any of my guy friends did.
And I think that all of the women at my school would beg to differ as well.
I think you guys are confusing the fact that not many people listen to electronic music, with, no girls listen to electronic music (because people in general do not) and therefor you assume that no women like music (by your thin definition of the word).
Maybe they don't like music that is good enough for your guys tastes, but don't you dare say they aren't feeling the music they listen to.

I don't know any girls that are hardcore into music. Then again, I don't know many girls. Hra! Hra! Hra! But even the girls in my college classes, their ''depth'' of knowledge seemed to extend down to, say, Pavement or (The) Pixies, and end there.
Pretty much the only contact I have with people that share my tastes in 'sic is conducted through wires. And most of them are males. Most of YOU are males. Smelly ugly males.

mabbe i should start a topic about the misconceptions men have of women... just the other day, a good male friend of mine said that women want to be 'won over' and another good male friend of mine about ten years ago that women couldn't hold their pee.
i, for one, quite enjoy electronic music, have for about a decade, and would credit my musical interests to both my friends' influence (female and male) and my own personal gut response to music.
