Dating for musicians...?

Solution: date your Sigur Ros cds. sure, your parents will complain at first, but they'll come to realize that it's for the best.

Edit: wow, the more I think of it, the more lol it becomes. You can't date chicks because they don't notice how bad mp3s in 128 kbs are? What sort of defective are you?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Or it could be that you hang around with a lot more she-musicians than she-not-musicians. Whatev.

I think what the music fags seem not to notice that you don't have to perform music in order to appreciate it. Nah, don't get mad. this site is crawling with guys who want girls who are nerdy and wapanese, seeming to think that not only would it be rad to date someone who is your potential better, but that such girls are the only ones who wouldn't mock their hobbies.

But, you know, you can still dump her if she doesn't like Sigur Ros*. If you're going to be an elitist prick, all you deserve are elitist pricks. It'd be better for all really. I could tell you that you're closing yourself off to a whole world of variety but quite honestly, I don't think you'd appreciate that variety.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ths whole thing isn't even about the deep spiritual connection you have due to your hobby of singing or playing an instrument, or even composing music, but simply because you like more estoric stuff? Get over yourself, sir. The thing that wows me the most is that, the girl in question doesn't have bad taste so much as you are dead certain you appreciate the subtle beauty of music more than she does. Wow.

With normal people, "settling for what you can get" usually involves someone met later on in life, or someone who is dumb, or someone who is poor. A person who is not the carbon copy of you is not 'settling', sir. I get the distinct impression that you never had a relationship past the two month mark. Until you get experiences with dating people, you have no right talking about settling. You don't know.

On the other hand, you could throw all that out and start cybering with Minion. Whatever.

Why did you let an idiot teach you about music?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Is that what she said, rocketdog? I don't think you're being very accurate, and may be exaggerating for effect. 'It all sounds like notes to me' could very well be an answer to some stupid question like 'well how did you like the second stanza' or something, I don't know, I don't do music. It does not sound like something a natural person would say in response to 'Did you like it?'

At any rate, obviously one of two things are possible here. One, you're dissing your dates to the internet in order to make yourself look better. Tell me how that works out! The other is that the only people who are attracted to you are otherwise stupid.

A little of column a, a little of column b here.

To be honest, I don't think he's the one making the decision here.

oh god, actually, it'd be hilarious if he dated someone who actually knew what she was talking about regarding music, because I bet he doesn't. I don't know for certain! But I think it'd be hilarious. ROCKETDOG GO WORK ON THIS K

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I was speaking idiomatically.
