Dating for musicians...?

Yes you are being a dick. Whether or not you intend to, I'm guessing you don't mean to be, but you are. There's no way to sugar coat it, but hey you asked.

Do you think it's cool if some girl looked down on YOU for not having the same talent she has in say... poetry? It wouldn't matter, either way, I think it's a really disgusting way to dismiss anyone, as though you were the creator of music itself.

Music is a huge part of my life, I think guys who can sing is a huge plus and those who could play an instrument is another big bonus. They're both very attractive qualities in a guy. Unfortunately my husband is practically tone deaf, can't play an instrument worth beans and I tell him to just stop when he tries to sing. Do I look down on him? Of course not. (Plus he has terrible taste in music, I won't even go into the crap that he owns.) I'm a little disappointed sometimes that he doesn't have the same interest but he's a hell of a lot smarter than half the idiots out there and at least knows how to fix a car and a computer. Not to mention he's humble and doesn't look down on me because I can't find the transmission. He is also patient and will teach me if I'm willing to learn. That's a great way to spend time together. What's so bad with learning from each other?

But you know what, if you want to find that perfect girl, go right on ahead. With that attitude, it amazes me that you even get dates at all. Or you can settle, I'm sure your future girlfriend would really appreciate it.

How am I supposed to respect that? I don't think her perspective is deeper than mine, sorry. Seriously.

I think my problem is just that my campus is full of idiots. Because I've definetly met kids who are up to par with my self-declared "wisdom" but as nobody worth mentioning at my college campus. I'm not even trying to be an egoist but do you know what I mean? It's like when you were a senior in HS and you were picking on freshman. I'm a senior in college but I feel a majority of the seniors here are still freshman. *shrug

You're making it very hard to respect YOU. So what if she doesn't have a deeper appreciation for music? Get on with it if you don't want to date her, because it's obvious she could not possibly have anything else to offer in a relationship. Maybe you are just surrounded by morons, in which case, you might want to move to another city or planet.

Although I do agree that a comment like that would make me think, "gee, have you listened to music before ever in your life?" Either way, you're not presenting yourself in a good light here and I doubt you'll find many people to sympathize with you.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Or maybe the basics like social grace, humility, tact, common sense.

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