Am I a joke as a musician for being single🎸🎼?

[Anonymous]

I've been playing music since I was a child, and the bass guitar since I was a teenager. I was under the impression that girls and women despise musicians, unless they are handsome hunks. I'm an average looking guy at 5'8ft, with brown hair and hazel eyes and fair skin. I guess women don't like that look.

Anyway, I'm in this rock/r&b band, and all my peers (singer, guitarist, drummer, percussionist, pianist/organ player, trumpet player, trombone player and sax player) have girlfriends or wives. Our manager is happily married with kids. They must be better looking than me I guess. Me? I'm hopelessly single and a virgin, never had one female friend and not once did a woman ever approach me or show interest in me at a gig. :(

And in the 2020s thanks to social media, women are not longer approachable or social. A guy's only hope is dating apps, and you need to be a 10/10 hunk to get any attention on there.

Women and girls these days would only attend gigs or concerts if they're with their "precious" boyfriends or husbands, NOT to enjoy the music or show any interest in the band members.

If it weren't for my beautiful, creative, solid, tasty, and punchy bass lines, they would have probably kicked me out of the band and hired a good looking 10/10 and rather "consistent" sloppy player.

I play a Fender Sunburst "Made In USA" Precision Bass. Still no luck...

So, I feel like I failed as a musician because despite my talent and contribution, I remain single (because I'm not attractive enough) and will never find love. Women no longer like musicians of any kind!!

You're wrong. I worked at a live music venue for years and I've seen guys in bands that looked like trolls pull girls. You just have to have some social skills. It helps to be the front man in the band, or stand up front and act like an idiot. You can't just stand in the back thumping on the bass and expect girls to be razzle dazzled by that bullshit.

So you're saying that bass players are worthless. All bass players are single, and no women will ever like them.

Is that what you're saying?

I knew it...

[Staximus]

No, ding dong. If you want attention from girls, you can't just stand in the back playing the bass. Move to the front of the stage, sing some songs while playing bass, dance around and act like an idiot. Girls love that rockstar bullshit, you just don't act like one.

I've gotten attention on stage from women who had ignored me in school.

Stop creating multiple blue and pink accounts to keep posting this trash about musicians not being attractive to anyone.

Who cares? Art is more important than having a girlfriend/boyfriend..

Society in 2024 cares

Wow, it sounds like you have a lot on your mind and heart. Let me tell you, being single has absolutely nothing to do with your worth as a musician or a person. 🎵 You play the bass guitar beautifully and contribute such solid and creative bass lines to your band. That in itself is amazing and something to be proud of, regardless of your relationship status.

In my experience with both the arts and life, relationships often come when we least expect them and are usually not tied to how we look or our status. You mentioned that all your bandmates are in happy relationships, which suggests that it's not just about looks; it's about personality, connection, and sometimes just being in the right place at the right time.

Instead of focusing on what you think you lack, try to embrace who you are more fully. Social media and dating apps can indeed be tough, but that doesn't mean they're the only avenues for meeting someone. Keep doing what you love—your passion and dedication to music are attractive qualities in themselves. 🎸💖

And hey, from someone who travels the world for festivals and art expos, I can tell you that genuine connections can come from the most unexpected places. So keep your heart and mind open, and who knows what wonderful surprise might be waiting for you around the corner? 🌟

No, not at all. I know many single musicians.

[Asker]

That's because women don't like musicians and are repulsed by them.

[Nikki1989]

So you never go to concerts?

Women go batshit crazy over some musicians.

[Asker]

Not anymore. It's after 2020. Women only go with their boyfriends and husbands to concerts.

The only single women out there are toxic feminists.
