Apparently, women pick up men at Sam Ash

[meev992]

And apparently, all you have to do is play a chord from a Fall Out Boy song, and you can get into their pants.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"9. Sam Ash (or another musical instrument store)
If you have a thing for brooding band guys, hit up your local instrument store. Bonus: the guy-girl ratio tends to be more favorable than Alaska, so you don’t have to sweat the competition. “Many women compare and contrast constantly, and when they have a lot of competition they wipe themselves out from the game,” says Dr. Magids. “Without that element, you can just be yourself.” Don’t worry if you haven’t picked up an instrument since the 4th grade. “See if he’ll play a chord from your favorite Fall Out Boy song,” suggest Carone. “Even if he can’t, it’ll lead to a rocking conversation.” "

I'm gonna be single for the rest of my life then.

LOL. Haven't seem many "brooding band types" around here. Just mostly 13 y/o pimply-faced shredders. Maybe women should look elsewhere

heck, I actually met my current lover using this suggested MSN strategy (refers to my sig).

and about the 13 y/o kids, i saw this kid the other day, with a pimple the size of golfball, on his forehead.

"Dear MSN, your dating guide for women is a joke."

P.S. What grown woman listens to Fall Out Boy?

P.P.S I just watched the video of FoB playing at the New Years countdown, disregard my last remark.

I think that's lousy advice. IMO - The "good" men (like me and my friends ) who play music usually go into the music store, get what we need, and get out. If we spend any time there, it's because we're shopping for a new axe (and likely wouldn't notice you if you were on fire). I am of the opinion that the guys that hang out in music stores playing like it was their gig to jam at guitar center… well, they're a bunch of losers and dorks… IMO, YMMV, ETC, ETC

BTW - Why are you reading an article on where to pick up men? Does your girlfriend know about this?

I was cracking a joke because A) there's no sam ash near me, and B) I hate fall out boy and refuse to play their crap.

LOL, that's so true, I actually need to find an excuse to stay in the music store...but it's a locally owned, Mom and Pop shop, so he's down with me chilling.

...oh and the article popped up on MSN, and I just like reading random crap. And well...no, she doesn't know that i just read an article about how to pick up men

hahha okay, I got burned this one time, it all looks pretty bad for me

[envika]

anybody who plays any fall out boy song deserves to be banished from society. unless they get tipped at LEAST $100 to play it...

If playing Fall Out Boy gets you a cheap date, I think it's worth it.

~~~Edit~~~

refer to a previous thread, several months ago, where I discourage scene girls. They're expensive and they have no feelings.

If I wanted to sleep with a mindless meat warmer, I'd buy a blow up doll.

blow up dolls are cheaper, and they won't leave you

I think if you are searching for women at music stores you are ridiculous. Think about it; you play music, she hears her favorite song, on accident, and you tell her you are in band and she wants to see you. A few weeks later or months you guys are a pair. It seems a bit off course but whatever floats your boat. You wil be that guy at the campfire that can only play a few chords and start to serenade a dumb girl because she doesn't kno any better and wants the attention. I've been playing for 12 years and been going to music stores to get stuff but not women. Although I have met quite a few people there I have not gotten a date. It just means you are spending way too long there. Now if you worked at the music store and the mother of a little boy/girl has no ring then it's golden. Free lessons/gear to a date and more (that night if you are good). Well that's my .02.

Let me break out into Sunny Day Real Estate or Hum. If a person of the opposite gender comes up and starts a conversation on that I think I found a winner. Fall Out Boy tho......meh.

Would this be a chick band or a dude band?

Same here! I don't care what the woman looks like, I ain't playing Fall Out Boy to get with one! Plus, she likes Fall Out Boy - how can I even talk to her about music? I would rip on pretty boy bassist Pete Wentz about how he plays the bass like a guitar and plays usueless bass notes on the 15th fret ( Thanks talkbass for the Pete Wentz threads!), she would throw something at me and I would continue to rip the the band some more...it would get ugly.

If a chick EVER talks to me in a music store and likes what I am playing and shows a general interest in bass guitar - yee haw! My cover band needs people to show up at shows! I will play or talk her ear off if she desires. Could be my future wife.
