Good article, but my favorite part was the cryptic last line: "Best leave that bad boy mounted on your wall."

Pretty kinky closer. I wouldn't mount my guitar on or off the wall! Either way is too off-the-wall for this boy. And if my guitar is that much cuter than my date, I'd be better off not dating, anyway.

She should read this: Why guitars are better than women (with apologies to the ladies)

1- Guitars don’t get pregnant.
2- You can play your guitar any time of the month.
3- Guitars don’t have parents.
4- Guitars don’t whine… unless you want them to.
5- You can share your guitar with your friends.
6- Guitars don’t care how many other guitars you’ve played
7- Guitars don’t care how many other guitars you have.
8- Guitars don’t care if you look at other guitars.
9- Guitars don’t care if you buy guitar magazines.
10-You’ll never hear, “Surprise, you are going to proud father of a new guitar!” unless you go out to buy one yourself.
11- If your guitar is flat you can fix it.
12- Your guitar doesn’t care if you never listen to it.
13- Your guitar won’t care if you leave up the toilet seat.
14- You don’t have to be jealous of the guy who works on your guitar.
15- If you say bad things to your guitar, you don’t have to apologize before you play it again.
16- You can play your guitar as long as you want and it won’t get sore.
17- You can stop playing your guitar as soon as you want and it won’t get frustrated.
18- Your parents won’t remain in touch with your old guitar after you dump it.
19- Guitars don’t get headaches.
20- Guitars don’t insult you if you’re a bad player.
21- Your guitar never wants a night out with the other guitars.
22- Guitars don’t care if you’re late.
23- You don’t have to take a shower before you play your guitar.
24- If your guitar doesn’t look good you can refinish it or get new parts.
25- You can play your guitar the first time you meet it, without having to take it to dinner, see a movie, or meet its mother.
26- The only protection you have to wear when playing your guitar is a decent thumb pick.
27- When in mixed company, you can talk about what a great time you had the last time you played your guitar

A while back I asked the Mrs. what does it for her, "piano or guitar sweetheart?" She said, "Oh, I like them both, but a man that can play the piano is so sexy."
That explains several mysteries of popularity which have puzzled me for years.

Actually, I think the most common denominator in that group is "talent."

Ah ha. Looking back I thought it was my pocket protector and taped up glasses that caused all the women to turn and walk the other way. Now I know better.

The further this thread grows - the more eagerly I wait for female members responding . . .

My theory is that until now they are incapable to write anything while hysterically laughing.

Actually, they likely have us figured out as the clueless idiots most of us are. Sometimes it's actually embarrassing.

I played and sang a song for my wife, when we were dating. I was nervous. She has never wanted me to play a song ever again.

For the record, " My sweet Lady ", by J Denver.

Same here - well at least she never has asked and the song in my case was Yellow Cat....

But if she asks you to play Smelly Cat, she's a keeper!
