When I was dating (my now wife) it didn’t take long for her to find out I was an audiophile. She’d always tell me how much she loves music, etc. but knew right away the first time I had her listen that she was not into audio. How do I know? She sat immediately off to the side of both speakers. Anyway, it obviously wasn’t a deal breaker. After marriage however I found whenever I wanted to listen to music this became her queue to run water in the kitchen, do laundry, vacuum the house- basically do anything to make noise. We’ve been married 27 years now and have now come to the point where I “headline” that “I’m going to listen to music later”. She now either reads a book or goes to the other room to watch TV. Still has zero interest in listening with me, even when trying to play her favorite music. I have no “audiophile” friends but have noticed if I’ve ever checked out new equipment in a retail setting ALL of the prospective clients are guys as are the salespeople. Have any guys in this Reddit thread (which I suspect is 99% of you) ever run across a female audiophile?
I’m a unicorn, and my ex walked away! He classed himself as an audiophile, I secretly hope the women he left me for sits left or right and not centre stage or does the dishes when he sits down to listen to music.
He sounds like a fool then!
