As a big music fan..........it seems that alot of people get 'stuck' in a musical time warp and are defined by a certain era..decade...etc...


If you're a cowgirl and he's rockabilly......is the relationship a non-starter??


If you like moldy oldies and they like Britney Spears...is that a recipe for disaster?


If he's a deadhead and you think disco is alive....is the romance in fact, dead??


I'm sure you can think of many more examples............


Any thoughts?

First I want to date women not music


I think it depends on the indivuduals involved. Since you describe yourself as a "big music fan" it could well be that if your partner and you do not mesh on the musical level that the relationship is a no go. However, I know many couples who have been married for years who do not have similar musical tastes at all. For myself, I have a very wide musical taste and what I happen to like changes over time.

definitely not. music is a universal language. everyone can understand any kinds of music. sometime it is through their music that you can truly enjoy and know them more as a person than anything else.


ppl listen or love certain kinds of music for a reason; it speaks something about them that they can't say themselves.


my music says something about me.


i have fallen in love with a guy who listens to a complete different genre than i did.

Hey... Beyonce does not fall under the term music.


Actually, like every other aspect of life, I want a partner that is tolerant of the tastes of others. If you cannot tolerate even listening to something that I like then it will probably not work.


I will listen to types of music that are not my favorite & even be in the same car while... Beyonce is on... if she likes it.

I think it's more a matter of tolerance...the ability to listen to each other's music even if you don't like it.


Personally I like a wide range of music so this hasn't been a problem for me. However there are always those singers or particular songs that you disagree. Just find a compromise that works for both...


I think if you had to have the exact same taste in music...dating would be near impossible .

A genre of music from a certain time-period doesn't date anybody. But it may help to define them.





I predict this thread will go nowhere but into a great amorphous mass of "I like this" and "I like that"..

I agree. This becomes a matter of tolerance.When one or the other partner is intolerant or tries for absolutes, i.e., can't play this, won't listen to that, must always have this on,there is going to be trouble in the homeland.
