Not Your Average Jane

I think I finally figured out what the draw of musicians is for women. Actually it could be said for most artsy/creative types in general really....

Women are creatures of emotion for the most part. (I do know a few exceptions to this rule.) Women tend to go with their intuition/emotions, whether its logical or not. Usually its totally illogical reaction. At least if you ask a man it is. To a woman all her own reactions and feelings are totally sensible and understandable. To a man its completely insane and incomprehensive.

But to a woman finding a man whose not afraid to share his emotions, is the pinnacle of perfection. Most men aren't willing to delve into their emotions too deeply, either because of societal views on a man's role or because they were brought up thinking that they aren't supposed reveal their emotions because its not macho or cool. So women feel like they're banging their heads on a brick wall when trying to figure out how a man is feeling.

But a guy whose a musician or any type of artsy or creative type is in touch with his emotions and has no qualms sharing them with anyone willing to listen. And women will listen in rapt attention to whatever they want to reveal. So women are naturally more attracted to the artsy types for this reason.

Also the bad boy quality musicians exude doesn't hurt either. And what woman doesn't melt at the thought of being serenaded with a song written for her, a poem in her honor, or a painting she inspired...

Just my dos centavos.
