Dating for musicians...?

See, I wasn't fully convinced that you were acting like a complete and utter prick until this line. If the only thing you know about music is what you've taught yourself, you probably don't know shit. People who are actually geniuses and can teach themselves more about a subject than they could be taught understand that not everyone has abilities in the same area, and don't look down on other people for it. Even Einstein got married. For someone to be as fucking stuck on his high horse about his musical appreciation AND to have no real instruction in the matter means you've got a major personality flaw going on.

In a relationship, you should both have something unique to bring to the table; you should both encourage growth in the other in some way. If you're too lazy to give anyone that kind of attention, then you're probably going to die alone.

See, what's so mind-boggling about your position is that music is one of those areas that intelligent people love sharing with their significant others. Taste and appreciation for a type of music is something that's easily aquired, and when you get two people who love different types of music together, both of their tastes broaden, and that's one of the reasons to be in a relationship--to expand yourself. Thinking that no girl could possibly ever have anything to bring to the table because you're so far above their level means that not only will you likely die alone, but you deserve it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
