Search Results: like a guitarist

It seems to me that in Western culture, there is a nearly subconscious understanding that men are intellectually superior, and not to sound sexist, but it seems to generally hold true. I'm talking on a societal level here, not on an individual basis.

Point in case: I can find many, many guys who I can talk to about deep subjects. Philosophy, religion, politics - meaningful life topics in general. On the other hand, it's extremely rare that I find girls like this. It seems most of them [at least where I live] are primarily interested in partying, buying clothes/shoes/etc, and painting a favorable image of themselves on social media.

A disproportionately large number of girls to guys seem very superficial as well as intellectually shallow. When do I find a highly intelligent and/or introspective girl, they're almost never any sort of pretty. When I find both it's like a diamond in the rough; I feel like I have just won the lottery!

It also seems like somewhat of a double standard that men need be particularly successful/talented/skilled in something. They need to have a driving passion and concrete life goal, while the same rarely seems to apply to women.

An easy example I can find here...

You take a moderately skilled male guitarist and put him on YouTube - he'll get ten thousand views and a lot of "nice playing brah" type comments.

You take a moderately skilled female guitarist and put her on YouTube - she'll get ten MILLION views and half the commenters will claim they've fallen in love.

What gives?

It's a little bit disappointing to me that in this day and age, where we have claimed to come so far with gender equality, that women seem to still be lauded almost entirely for being a sex object, and their intellectual standard is seen as significantly lower than their male counterparts. It seems that women are the only ones that can get by in life with nothing but sex appeal.

Does anyone sympathize with me here? I sincerely would like to see smarter females on Earth. It would be nice to have female intellectuals and female politicians for a change... but our Facebook culture doesn't seem to be taking us in that direction any time soon.

And for the love of God, I need someone I can date who isn't another dumb pretty party girl.

WHERE ARE THE SMART SEXY NERDY LIBRARIANS?

So to sum up:

In our society, do you think that males, as a standard, are more intellectually driven than females?

Vocalist? Guitarist? Drummer? Bassist?

I expect the poll results to be in that order ... maybe flip guitarist and vocalist, but probably not.

I always planned to get and learn to play guitar, but I took a liking to drums and wound up getting a set. Nice way to bang away frustration without getting STDs, and it's really fun to make beats.

Unfortunately the poll is only limited to five answers, so I'm putting in four from my personal favorites along with an "Other" option. If you choose other, I'd like to hear your suggestions in the comments section. Of course, any and all comments are also welcome.

Others from my list that I couldn't include in the poll:

- Lindsey Buckingham

- Earl Klugh

- Alex Lifeson

- Lee Ritenour

- Eddie Van Halen

- Joe Walsh
