You mean the first time you buy one? What about all the other guitars you then buy? Do they not count? 2. If they come unstrung, it only takes a few minutes to fix them. I've known a LOT of "unstrung" guys, too. Guitars, no matter how beautiful, aren't human. That could be good or bad... 3. Any dischord in the relationship can be fixed with tuning forks. Any dischord in the relationship can be fixed with communication and personal space. The romance might not be fixable, but the relationship can be. 4. Don't mind if you hang out with an old one for a while. Define "hang out" 5. Willing to cuddle whenever you are. I usually am willing to cuddle with my sweetie, anytime! *g* 6. Don't care if you forget when you got them. Hmmm, I forgot when I "got" my guy! OHNO! 7. Can keep many at a time, with no problems. Hmmm, if you really want more than one, then that is a definite advantage for the guitars... 8. Always love your taste in music. So? Difference is the spice of life. 9. There's books on how they work. There are books on how girls work, too. There are books on any subject. 10. Don't ask if they look fat. Yeah, it's annoying when girls do that, for sure. I don't. 11. Become more valuable physically as they age. Certain cultures respect older women, and see each wrinkle as added value. Sucks that you don't live in one of those cultures. 12. Always have good character. ??? I've met some pretty crappy guitars. Well, there's twelve. Need some help on the next 87. Any takers?

It has never lied, cheated, stolen from me or destroyed anything of mine. Neither has it ever bollocked me for no reason whatsoever, taken my cat away from me or kicked me out of my own house. Neither has it used my phone to send offensive messages to old girlfriends, ostensibly from me. And it's completely in tune all the way up the neck, and the pickups are fantastic, and it is actually helping my musical career unlike insane ex-girlfriend. In some cases, guitars really are better than girls. Sorry. Don't know where that came from. Maybe we're taking this thread a bit too seriously? English Jon |

09 Apr 01 - 09:48 AM (#436313) Subject: RE: 99 Reasons Guitars Are Better Than Girls From: GUEST Here are some things women and Guitars have in common.
1)They are both have curves in all the right places.
2) They both inevitably lead to sad songs
3) They are both likely to lead to murder ballads.
4) They both cause you to loose sleep.
5) They both always make you late.
6)They both take years to understand, longer for some.
7)They both appreciate a gentle touch.
8)They can both be excruciating when "out of tune".
9)Neither of them is terribly fond of the banjo.
10)I would never set foot in a bar if not for one, the other, or both of them.
11)I will play with them both until I am sore and have to stop. 12) When you find the right one you hold on to it until death do you part.

10 Apr 01 - 01:54 AM (#437128) Subject: RE: 99 Reasons Guitars Are Better Than Girls From: CarolC Actually, Benjamin, you'd be surprised. I recently attended a performance in a coffee shop given by a young man who was studying classical guitar at University. He played a lot of different kinds of stuff, and he did one solo piece by Heitor Villa-Lobos. Certainly not in the same league as Dave Mathews.
He had plenty of attractive and admiring young women around him. Of course, he wasn't too hard on the eyes, either. Maybe you just haven't captured the right sort of dreamy-eyed look that you need to have when you're playing in order to get their attention. Dreamy-eyed is good. Whatever you're playing. I promise. |

10 Apr 01 - 06:03 PM (#437632) Subject: RE: 99 Reasons Guitars Are Better Than Girls From: Luke I find that guitars and girls have nothing in common what so ever. Neither is there any comparison between woman and guitars. I personally could not stand to be with a woman who just layed around all day waiting to be plucked. Guitars must be handled to really find their true merits. While a great woman is something to behold from every aspect. She doesn't need your help when it comes to blowing your mind into next week. Guitar is sort of a romantic science. Physical yes but somewhat removed from the activities possible a woman. Guitars have a beautiful shape they are warm and sensual but THEY are woody. Which is why I always sort of thought of guitars as masculine. Thats rather opposite than what is expressed herebefore. But I never found a guitar that could replace a real good friend of any gender.

I just saw this for the first time.
Benjamin, t'was ever thus. It's called 'hormones'. They're powerful stuff.
I don't think I can help you much with the 'dreamy-eyed look' from where I am. Do you have any female friends about your age who would be willing to give you some pointers? Anyway, good luck with it. |

23 Apr 01 - 10:46 AM (#447282) Subject: RE: 99 Reasons Guitars Are Better Than Girls From: Caitrin See, it all depends on what sort of girls you're trying to attract. If you want gorgeous bouncy girls, go out and learn some Dave Matthews. It makes you look deep. If you want intelligent women, play what you like, play it well, above all play it like you enjoy it, and they will come. I find the dreamy-eyed look rather pretentious and annoying, m'self.

24 Apr 01 - 07:18 PM (#448547) Subject: RE: 99 Reasons Guitars Are Better Than Girls From: GUEST,Chris I've got a guitar called Martin and it's true love. One day we may go our ways, Martin to his new love and me to mine. Maybe I'll find another Martin or maybe an Armstrong or - who knows ?? - easy to pickup whichever way. One thing I do know, It'll not want the house, the car, half the cat, and five hundred quid a month for the next ten years. As for the wife....!!! Yes, I truly love my guitar ! |

26 Apr 01 - 12:21 AM (#449591) Subject: RE: 99 Reasons Guitars Are Better Than Girls From: Benjamin Carol, I talk some friends about the "dreamy eyed image." Your sure right about the hormones though.
Caitrin, what if I want a gorgeous and intelligent (I'm not sure I care for "bouncy")? What can achieve that? As for dreamy eyed guitar playing snobs, If I ever achieve the "dreamy eyed image," I'll try to be different. DM, I just performed Dowland a couple weeks ago! Dowland is a fun composer to play. I play Queen Elizabeth's Galliard and Come Away. Both wonderful pieces. I'll more soon! BMW |

26 Apr 01 - 03:03 AM (#449634) Subject: RE: 99 Reasons Guitars Are Better Than Girls From: GUEST,Dave(busta) nutt All Valid points! Still, my guitar gently weeps... If your're a women guitar player, I'd say 99% of the reasons guitars are better than women are the same as the 99 reasons guitars are better than men. Jokes are life's representations given to you. How you deal with them is ALL about PERSPECTIVE. Or perhaps look at it from one of any other perspctive your focused on: Live and let live, Open your heart,and share those feelings . tough but...(IMPORTANT) Let others share their's without interruption or judgment Carpe Diem,( sieze the day) More importantly, the moment! Find a job wher you can... WORK like you don't need the money.. LOVE... Like you've never been hurt. And DANCE like no one is watchin (it's the MOST fun for me). busta MY first visit to this site, which I think is GREAT! Thanks ya'll Bustaone
