UM men: how does being into metal affect you dating life?

[ohiogrinder]

My problem is Im extremely uncompromisng and honest when it comes to my musical taste. I'll ask a girl, what she listens to, and the usual reply is "oh, anything but country" or "mostly hip hop" or "anything but metal, it gives me a headache", and my reply is "I like death and black metal and shit like that". I have met a few girls that like metal, but usually they like certain bands just because the singer is "hot".

yeah sadly that usually is the case. I've pretty much gave up on the idea of finding a "metal girlfriend", cause its just not going to happen unless I move away. but I usually try to avoid girls into "pop-rap". it sucks, so get away from me you greasy cunt!

girls love my pals or guys who act like them. thats why.

no they don't.

 

[ThePhilosopher]

In my experience, they usually do.

 

[Xorv]

you must have little experience.

The last guy I dated claimed to be a metalhead. Our first date I knew every "unknown" band he was talking about. Second date I handed him 4 cd's of mixed music and told him to study for our next date. He was floored at what I handed him and promptly went out and spent $200 on CD's...

It's VERY hard to find someone into metal music as much as I am, even half as much would be great as it's the second most important thing in my life.

The only thing that sucks now about being single though is not having someone to go to shows with on a regular basis.

I'd love to be able to find a guy who shares my love of music and who is able to teach me a few things in it as well.

But so far, almost every guy I've talked to, I've schooled the hell out of them. *sigh* After a while, it gets tiring always being the teacher.

I used to have that problem until I met my husband. It's hard to find soulmates that are into extreme metal.

I just got the phone number of a really attractive girl, I'd say easily a 8-9/10. I have gotten 2 #'s this week, I will call them both on thursday and see how it goes. If it doesn't workout, I'll try to find some more decent looking girls on friday/saturday that are interesting to me.

There was this really cute (in an unconventional way) teacher in my (office) job today who really seemed like she was interested in me. Smiled at least 6 or 7 times at me, tried to talk to me when I wasn't talking to her, told me to help her with easy shit that she should be able to do herself, etc... basically anything to get my attention

I wonder how old she is, she can't be over 21 or 22 considering how young she looked.

anyways I am finally starting to put in alot more work into this dating thing, I should be able to achieve much more success than years past.

Oh dear Jesus...

I have a friend from Brookfield and from what he has told me, it truly is Hell on Earth.

Haha, Dave you're fucking hilarious, in a pathetic way.

She looked like a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9ish/10 on my scale of hotness. Which is the equivalent of shit on a stick. I'm teh mega pimp.

I have two different girls I need to call this weekend. Looks like being into black metal doesn't hold me back.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

I don't think it's metal itself that would hold back. It's just that alot of metalheads have some...problems...

 

[Life Sucks]

Yep. I do, too. But it's not holding me back. For some reason, I attract women, and I think that part of it at least is my uniqueness, of which being a metalhead is a big part.

Indeed. The side effects of metal are the most problematic; most girls I know would never date anyone who looks like a stereotypical metalhead, or anyone with long hair for that matter. The generally hateful and spiteful attitude doesn't really help either.

Being into metal has helped my dating life, or rather, it's increased the number of people who try to date me.
