Women who have dated guitarists, what were the best and worst parts?

6 comments

1. The calluses weren’t massive just firm. Finger dexterity is always a plus in the bedroom although I didn’t sleep with him so I don’t know the full extent of his skills that way. I went to some concerts. There may have been a song written about me but I can’t be sure and would never ask, it could have been about someone else perhaps.

2. I am a bassist and have played around with some bassists (we seem to attract each other) and honestly, it didn’t seem to effect anything. A musical instrument isn’t = a human body and some dudes lack some serious understanding or empathy, regardless of their sick riffs.

3. Best part was he had a Gibson Les Paul. Worst part was he had poor taste in pedals.

4. i thought he was super insecure but he ended up having a massive sense of self importance. i supported him a lot emotionally and mentally about his talent but he ended up flipping that around on me to make it like i was the thing holding him back, citing that he was going to move to another state to pursue it. he ended up moving to the area i had always wanted to live in in our home state, which is also where i live now.

5. He needed constant praise and affirmation. God, he was exhausting.

6. The best part of my guitarist ex is he could pick up any guitar, anywhere, and play any song under the sun. His talent was a huge turn on. His personality was a huge turn off though. He thought he was the shit, but he wasn’t. We dated for a few years and he was really self-centered and immature.

   I started dating this new guy afterward that could also play guitar, but not as well as my ex. It was a little hobby of his that brought him joy. He was more romantic and when he learned how talented my ex was, but had never written me song, he wrote me a song and performed it for me. We’re married.
