Dating for musicians...?

A person is not their taste in music. Someone liking a certain kind of music says nothing about their character. It's just their taste, and that's subjective. But thinking you're better or smarter than someone because of their taste in music does say something about your character.

I think everybody has qualities that must be present in their partner, and that's fine. If someone wants to start a family, then obviously their partner has to want that, too. Some people won't marry outside of their religion. That sort of thing.

Taste in music, by comparison, is a pretty shallow dealbreaker.

By the way, are you into classical music, rocketdog? I've noticed classical fans, moreso than any other group of listeners, tend to have that elitist kind of attitude. You know, where they ONLY listen to classical music and nothing else. Every other kind of music fan hates that and tend to look at the close-minded classical fans as dorks. Sorry if that's not you, but I sort of wanted to get that off of my chest anyway.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
