Two New Studies Suggest Women Are More Attracted to a Man Holding a Guitar

There's a certain Je ne sais quoi about a guy holding a guitar.

Or so says a new study from France, which suggests that a man is perceived as more attractive to women if there’s a guitar in his hands. The study's results are similar to the findings of a 2012 study from Israel.

France, Israel, Hoboken or Bumpass, Virginia — it doesn't matter where the guitarist is from. The point is, male guitarists are generally viewed as promising mating material (as if we didn't all know that already)!

So, this is the reason Yoko went after Lennon? /sarc

“Forget all about that macho s—t and learn to play guitar...”

[1rudeboy]

Speaking from experience (and not as a guitar player), this is true. Knowing how to play it is important, however.

You don't need to know how to play it today. Women today listen to hip hop and EDM (electronic dance music) made with ZERO guitars. The instruments are all “samples” or synthesized.

Don't even need to know how to sing. They like the sound of artificially tuned voices by people who "speak" the words.

It's been suggested that women are also attracted to guys holding a couple of million dollars.

We are scary. :-)

Hmmmmm... I much prefer a man with substantial fire power. Forget the guitars.

Not to this woman!

A man is more attractive if there's a certain light in his eye, a gentlemanly confidence. I also find them more attractive when they have rifles, pistols, work tools, or the controls to fast planes or cars in their hands! ;^)

Worked for me! Only one was a keeper though!
