Are you especially attracted to musicians?

I don't know if it was the rhythmic music or the wine that got to my head, but over the weekend I went to a Jazz concert and found myself ogling the musicians (alto sax in particular). I,myself, have dated a few fellows who coincidentally had a musical background, but I never set out looking to date a musician or became interested in someone just because of that fact.

My Question: with a well established groupie culture and how intense people can be fans over various entertainers, Do you have a specific fantasy/desire towards dating a musician?

Ladies: I mean moreso towards guys who play instruments. Ya'know that stereotype about girls falling for the bass player or drummer.

Guys: idk. Answer freely, these days female musicians usually carry around boy toys, so if you would like a rocker, guitarist, flautist, singer. Let me know if any tickle your fancy.
(I am almost expecting to see heavy Asian pop references,??another stereotype??)

EDIT: I'm interested in if this is a popular fantasy, not necessarily if you actually do prefer musicians

SIDENOTE: I find idol anime/manga slightly irritating. Personally I have only liked Nodame Cantabile, Kiniro no Corda and some of Skip Beat. For those with 2D interest, are you attracted to any idol characters?

I dream about dating a female violinist, OR pianist.

Mostly because then we can teach our children instruments and form a string quartet :D (I play the violin myself, not as a pro but somewhat ten years of lessons).

Girls look hot with dresses :3

Having a musical talent is nice, but it doesn't guarantee anything! ;D

Nah, if you love music and can play it well, that's a great skill. Showing mastery over it may certainly impress a lady or two.

Thats so cute!! It reminds me of my friend's family! Father plays piano, son(my friend) plays trumpet, daughter plays piano, oldest son plays piano/organ professionally.

They have never done it as a family but I also thought it was lovely.

my husband is a drummer, but that wasn't really important when I got attracted to him..

Yes, yes, and a thousand times YES! Musical taste itself doesn't bother me all that much, but being a bassist for a rock/alternative band, if a girl can kick ass on the drums, it's a huge plus for me! Mega-score if she sings too! :D

No, I don't really like the idol stereotype. That is all.

Hmmmm... maybe a pianist or someone like Daedalus or Deadmau5. It cant just be anyone... its a meh. I have to know and have been following them to be swoon... again unless they were a pianist... I love the piano. :D

So no not really, they're just people with another talent I wish I had. I would spend my time with them probably trying to learn to play their instrument since I dont know many. ;)

can't say I've ever thought about dating someone with a musical talent, but it would be nice. I myself am trying to learn to play the guitar, so having someone to teach me or just jam with me would be pretty neat.

as for the Idol characters, I find them utterly detestable, even more so when they are tsundere.

I am, but only because being a musician myself, those are the people who I interact with the most...

Very attractive, it isnt obligatory of course but having the passion, endurance and concentration to learn how to play or sing well speaks for itself, its years of training. Also you can sometimes tell if the person suits you by his/her musical taste, basically its a plus no matter how much you flip it, same goes for writing and any other type of art.

Artists don't do anything special for me, just another profession. But...girls that can make a lot of money are very attractive, which usually comes from being very successful in their field and creating massive value for other people.

I think that's my case too, since I'm involved in the arts/music community. But for some reason they all turned out to be trumpet players.



I tend to do this.... but with dance. If they cant dance its a mini no-no.


For a few days after the concert, I was thinking how good the musicians were. Now, not so much. I am chalking it up to an "in the moment thing"

While I can see the merit a musician or any man/woman of the arts may have, unless their dreams have proliferated into success I cannot love or hold close one for the end of me. Why?Somehow it's that age old notion that any and all musicians are careless slackers who aren't able to clutch their aspirations and after failing to do so, refuse to become a normal member of society by actually working.But even then, I dispise successful musicians, full of themselves and are merely a facade of their past charismatic self. Idols(albeit 2d ones) are nosebleed worthy however.

Ah, also another good quality of being musically educated! Very true... :D

Personally, NO.

A hot chick is a hot chick, it doesn't matter if she cant play an instrument or sing.What matters most is her personality. But I have to say that throughout High-school females had a tendency of crowding around males that could play a musical instrument(primarily the guitar) even though they were not as good looking as me or some of the other guys.

It would be cool if Animefreak could type the equation explaining how females think, studying it might prove useful.
