Do we really need studies for this?
« on: May 10, 2013, 08:06:14 AM »
French and Israeli researchers have discovered the shocking truth: Women find men more attractive if they hold a guitar. Gosh, I would never have guessed!

I wonder how many research dollars were wasted here.

Totally valid study that needs to be expanded upon.  ;)
What's the difference in attractiveness if the guy holds a bass rather than a guitar?
Are Gibsons more sexy than Fenders?
What about drummers?
What's the most repulsive instrument? Marching band Sousaphone perhaps?

Note that the word is "guitar" and not "bass".  ;D

Duh.

Israeli researchers?! We have a strong candidate for this year's Ig Nobel prizes.

I think this guy had some preliminary data.

The manliest instruments have shotguns, rocket launchers or machine guns built in.....but it does promote neck dive.

I have been told that the way a bassist moves his fingers when playing finger-style is a turn-on for women. Chicks dig bass players.
