How to turn off the sexy

Yeah. being a P magnet is a curse.

You just try to get used to it.
The only P magnet I have is this one:

+1 on the fanny pack. I think I still have one of these in my closet someplace, from when, briefly I insist, I apparently became a complete tool and bought one, in a nice non-confrontational, lame-a** wuss brown leather.
I have an actual photo of myself wearing one while jamming onstage with Ace Frehley. Tool Award? Pass it over.
 
I'm going to be serious here for a moment. The guitar player and now the wife have issues. Why does the guitard care if you're sexy or not? Does he feel he's not getting any action because the girls are fawning on you? Is this a sudden problem with the wife? Like maybe the guitar player brought it up to her? I think a chat is in order with both of them to find out what the real issue is here. You are who you are and that's not going to change. If the wife has nothing to be concerned about, it's her problem. As for the guitar player, he needs to work on his self esteem.

I've been in bands with guys who are chick magnets. It used to bother me, but after a while they'd get tired of chasing him and start looking at who else in the band was available. I was quite content with that situation. People just need to lighten up sometimes.

I think it was a joke, not a serious statement... But whatever :)

Playing in a band that has a couple chicks is even better chick magnetism. Women come up to talk to the band when there are women in the band to talk to. Unfortunately, I'm married and didn't start backing cute female singers and playing with other female musicians until after it did me no good. Or maybe fortunately, because I know how many children I have and don't have any exotic disease problems.
