Does his choice in music affect whether you fall for him?

It won't stop me from falling for him, but on occasion I fall faster if a guy has spectacular taste in music, better yet if he introduces me to a new band that I end up loving.

I'm really open-minded about music. Even if we don't listen to the same stuff, I just take that as an opportunity to expand my horizons. If a guy likes music that I actually can't stand, it's a bit of a turn-off, but hey, different strokes for different folks. I wouldn't say it's a deal-breaker though.

Yes it does, at least for me. Some however don't think the same. Musics music, who cares right?

Music makes the man. At least that's what I believe. What you put into your brain is what you get out of it. Why do you think when people watch porno they get horny? Its the same with music, if you listen to angry music- you have a reason to be angry? if you listen to crappy girly music, you have reasons to believe corny girly stuff will happen to you. If your music has no depth, IDK I actually just asked the question.

Let me ask you the question I just asked. Is it the guitar solo, or the meaning that actually matters? IDK with boys, to me its the lyrics, I want to know what I am humming along to.

Music choice is highly irrelevant when selecting a man you fall in love. Actually it's hard to select the person you fall for anyway. It typically just happens, regardless of small qualities such as this.

Now could music choice affect the relationship in certain ways, yes. I mean you might not go to concerts together or selecting a station in the car could be an issue. Overall, I think it would be nice if you and the person you fell for shared similar music taste just so you could enjoy it together, but it's never mattered to me really.

Personally, I'm open to lots of different styles of music and stuff so I like recommendations but it definitely helps if his taste in music is similar to mine. But if he lies and says he likes the exact same stuff as me and I find out he knows nothing about the music, that's a total turn-off and could even turn into a trust issue if he's lied about himself before.

I think it depends how into that type of music he is and whether the girl is really into a specific type of music. I tend to find my tastes differ depending on mood and activity, but that there are a lot of different types of music I can listen to and appreciate at the right moment. The music a guy listens to (if he's really sort of obsessed with it) might originally affect my opinion of him based on some sorts of stereotypes (though that might change if I get to know him better). I don't think I could ever say that the music would stop me from dating him, though. I think that our taste in music might be incompatible, I doubt it would be the deciding factor as to us being in a relationship together. I think there are many things which are much more important.

Yes! And hell a lot I think, maybe it's the age, which I will grow out soon, but it does matter if music is one of your favorite interests, personally music is my best friend! =) I love rock music, classical rock, alternative, and guitar in general (if a guy knows how to play it and is very cute, I might fall for him instantly =) lol) yes so I think music connects people, because you can tell so many things through the songs, you wouldn't tell yourself to others. Also it might even be another matter, if there's something you enjoy the most, you would want the person you like to share interest in it too, so you could be closer by having something in common. =)

Yes, it affects my opinion of a guy (and I doubt I'm the only girl who thinks so). It's nowhere near the top of the list, but it matters. A guy who is into heavy metal is different from a guy who is into country music and different again from a guy who is into Top 40 pop. When a girl steps into a guy's place for the first time, she is going to notice his taste in music, just as she'll notice his taste in books, and in furnishings, and also whether he's a slob or not. It's part of the whole picture. That's my two cents.

It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. I just add it to the "what makes him who is he" category of traits. I've been with a guy that admitted he loved Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift, and I've been with a guy that listens to Irish drinking songs 24/7. It wouldn't be as fun to fall for someone with identical music tastes or someone who just pretends to like what you do.

Lol. . I'm a bit universal myself so a guy's taste in music wouldn't bother me one bit. I myself love Beyonce, and Chris Brown, and Mariah Carey , but I also enjoy John Mayer, ( I have 2 of his CDs) Maroon 5, and even Reba,( yes the country singer! ) see where I'm coming from? Point is if a person has no interest in you because what type of music your into. . They have problem's , not you

That's probably a very personal thing. I listen to some very eclectic music from a couple dozen different genres which wouldn't necessarily go together. So I wouldn't judge a guy by what music he likes for the most part, unless he ONLY listened to one of the few genres I'm not too keen on (country, for example).

What's more important is that I can listen to what I want to, without being judged - if you're cool with listening to what I like and respect that I have my own tastes, even if you're not a fan, then I'll accept that you like different stuff respectively.

If you limit yourself to only one or two genres strictly, then you're going to either attract women who (1) don't care at all about music, or (2) who fall into the same tastes that you have.

Bottom line: open mindedness and reciprocity are more important than the tastes you come in with. But that's coming from an open-minded chick.
