Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?


I recently purchased a pair of speakers that I showed to a non-audiophile female friend of mine. She said they looked beautiful and asked how much they cost. When I told her, her jaw dropped. She then asked if I was using them to pick up hot chicks. Hmm...I told her the only people who get turned on by my audiophile speakers are balding middle-aged men. She had a laugh, but I wondered if anyone tried to impress a girl with his stereo system. High end is a male dominated hobby like sports cars. So have you found a woman who was turned on by your system. I have had no such look. I just get blank stares when I talk about my hobby to women.

My girlfriend is just too hot to care about my speakers. She's happy with her iPod. May be I'll bring her to next year's RMAF, but then again I'm not sure if I want her to be into my hobby.
I'd say it depends on what you have and how you talk about it. Reserved presentation of,as an example, Studer reel to reel and LAMM amps might not hurt. Speakers would probably never impress, they always look ugly.
Women are different you know, especially married ones..
Elizabeth, I fail to understand why you didn't want to post and why you decided to comply to the request.
Anyway, as a friendly advice, get rid of that Cardas in you system, and things may become a little better.
Inna: I felt the OP question was a 'fun' question and I did not want to get into spoiling the posts with a serious answer too soon.
Agree that women do not have much interest in equipment, just results: IE: music, (if they are interested in music)
Convenience, looks are more inportant.
Agree with comment about woman's clothes, most will discount fussing over them, even if they actually do spend a lot and a lot of time getting ready. Guys want a woman to look good, it takes a LOT of effort to look good, but women do not want to talk about that.
Women never tell a guy how many pairs of shoes she has or how much they cost... So return the favor and skip the stereo equipment discussion.
Also IMO most women do not love diamonds, it is just most men do not have a clue what she really wants, so the diamonds are the OK substitute (since women KNOw men do not have a clue what she really wants). Most women I know want thier husband to actually talk to them with interest in what they are doing and to tell her what you (husband) is doing AND thinking about, way more than they want a diamond... A vacation with the hubby in a nice place where he is actually WITH her (in mind AND body, not just physically present)is way more valuable and memoriable than any diamond. Unless you are already on the way to a divorce. LOL
so did anyone actually want to hear from "dear Abby"? (me)
I agree. A woman wants to be a diamond herself.
Gifts like that are often perceived as bribe or/and sign of stupidity, or as an insult.
If a man can talk about his stereo and at the same time be with the woman - it's all right.
Did I answer your question?
