Once again, science has come around to ♥♥♥♥vindicating♥♥♥♥ folk wisdom and Chateau teachings. This installment of SCIENCE ♥s GAME explores the subtle tricks of perception that mimicking a high social status man can play on women. A recent study found that the mere act of lugging around a guitar case will significantly improve a man’s odds of getting a number close from a woman.
This experiment tested the assumption that music plays a role in sexual selection. Three hundred young women were solicited in the street for their phone number by a young male confederate who held either a guitar case or a sports bag in his hands or had no bag at all. Results showed that holding a guitar case was associated with greater compliance to the request, thus suggesting that musical practice is associated with sexual selection. […]
What happened was that when he wasn’t holding anything he got a number 14% of the time. The sports bag, though, put women off and dropped his average to just 9%.
It was the guitar case that did the trick, bumping up his chances to 31%. Not bad at all considering he was approaching random strangers in the street.
So no matter what you look like, what job you have, how much money you make, or how stylishly you’re dressed, you can arouse more women by demonstrating higher value with an empty guitar case and signaling (falsely, if necessary) that you are a shredder of six strings and snatch.
Female hypergamy don’t give a shit for acceptable signals of male mate value. Female hypergamy don’t give a shit about societally approved male accomplishment. All female hypergamy cares about is that a man *IS* higher status — and thus more socially and psychologically dominant — than herself, regardless of the measurably objective or amorphously subjective nature of that status.
The game lesson here, beside the obvious one — carry a guitar case — should be easily comprehended: adopt the trappings and the behavior of the high status, socially and sexually preselected, dominant male and you, too, will see your romance life improve by 100%. Or better.
I’d add chicks dig acoustic guitars far more. As a kid I liked metal and a lot of my friends were level 64 dungeon masters who played Yngwie Malmsteen riffs forwards and backwards all night long and even the ballads they fingered with their cheetos-encrusted fingers couldn’t attract a mate. Oddly, the more superficial your musical skills are, the more likely they are to resonate with the female folk.

Well, I’d say the vast majority of guys who practice guitar seriously do have a lot of beta traits. Devin Townsend has a great bit about this. I too slung an axe in my younger years and still do. Except where my peers would slip into the solo from Tornado of Souls whenever a girl walked by in an attempt to get panties, I’d start playing some Damien Rice.
I think it all comes down to preselection. The number of women who would have sex with John Mayer dwarfs the girls that would bed Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah. The larger the current audience, the more preselection of females. Unfortunately shredders tend to be mostly preselected in terms of male approval. This certainly beats no societal selection as the “leader of men” archetype is still met, however, it pales in comparison to what hordes of screeching fangirls buy the guys from One Direction in terms of smv.

Better yet, learn to play guitar. And sing. This one time I played “Sex on Fire” at the local pub. A girl came up and asked me to explain to her what the song was about. So I took her home and explained 😉 True story.
On a more general scale, being good at SOMETHING or other is bound to get you female attention, especially from girls that have closer ties with said something. I’m willing to bet that out of the extra girls that gave their phone number to the guitar carrier, a good deal either played guitar or sang themselves, or have closer ties to music than most. Of course, if demonstrating you ability then and there is not applicable (singing and playing), have something that signlas your ties with said ability (in this case, a guitar or guitar case, naturally).
Not sure why the sports bag got lower ratings. It shouldn’t really put people off. Perhaps we can attribute the 3 or 4 percent decline to standard deviation. The amazing increase in ratings for the guitar case however, is statistically significant however you look at it, and I can attest to that efficacy firsthand.

A lawyer in a suit just has money. A penniless guitarist playing his soul out is expressing himself without fear of social judgement, often in front of hundreds if not thousands of people.

Even this dude probably had groupies lol he has a wife at 2:24:
That all said, a really passionate lawyer who loves his job and is extremely intense about it, who’s seen doing his job with passion by a girl, will be attractive to her like the guitar guy. The difference out in public is that the guitar guy is carrying his passion in his hand, the lawyer’s is left behind in the courtroom.
A guitarist who’s apathetic about playing and doesn’t care about music and just plays mary had a little lamb on his guitar will be less attractive than a plumber who loves his job and tells a girl facts about how pipes work with the full belief that its exciting and she should be fascinated by it.
In short: own yer shit, whatever it is. Women don’t care what you’re passionate about, they just care that you’re passionate about SOMETHING. 90% of the generic office drone beta males out there have no passion for anything and spend their free time trying to escape life and reality thru videogames, tv, movies, watching sports instead of playing them, etc because their lives are mundane and they don’t have the drive to change them.

Good points. However, one of the risks about broadcasting your passion about being a lawyer or being a doctor or whatever is that chicks may “upgrade” you from random fun dude she may have sex with to potential long-term-mate. If you get that upgrade, you may find that your workload is now tripled with said chick because she’s going to be reticent about hooking up so you’ll be more likely to think of her as a LTR as well.
I am a lawyer, but I BARELY talk about it IRL. I love my job, am good at it, and make a difference in my wider-community (#humblebrag). However, I prefer to talk about the other things with mixed company (music, my writing, and mad men/the wire/whatever’s topical). Not only do you avoid the “upgrade” trap, but you also are more likely to put other people at ease. Most people aren’t lawyers or doctors. Lots of folks feel insecure and/or inadequate when some asshole goes on and on about his educational and professional achievements. One of the things that make me feel like I’m right about this is that people who meet me eventually find out I’m a lawyer and they’ll say something like “wow, I would have never thought you were a lawyer – you’re so cool!” I think these sort of comments are very telling (and funny).
I guess my takeaway point is learn how to talk about something else other than what you do for work. Work is your life like 70% of the time. Same for most chicks. Most people want to forget about that and get lost in the moment otherwise. By having other hobbies/pursuits outside of work that you can talk about, you’ll have more success chattin’ naturally with chicks (and the public at large).

Everything else flows from that.

There is a saying here about guitar and women. “They are both held by(or around) neck and played by hole. Nuff said.

I purposely choose, almost every night, to play my guitar as opposed to going out to try to meet a chick. I’m not gay and I’m as horny as the next guy. Some people like the music that much. I think about guitar all day. Last night was one such night. I need to get in a band and go out *to play* but in the meantime I choose making music over listening to others do it. I can’t waste that 3 hours in a smoky bar that I could have spent improving my playing. I’d carry my guitar around all day except I’m stuck at my office job and just can’t play….would be a waste. And I would not subject the guitar to the heat/humidity changes just for that. Unlike Petite Olive, I’m a man with women to support, so I don’t have $3,000 extra dollars to buy a new guitar or hand bag.

OT from your twtiter, I think this comment won the internet yesterday:
“THE SKYWHALE, the more it strikes me as the perfect representation of Feminism: a round, purse-lipped, flabby-titted ogress casting a pall over the city and refusing to be ignored. ”
perfect.

Another easy set of chords for people who don’t know how to play guitar: do a D chord (look it up) and strum out a rhythm while playing around with Dsus2 and Dsus4 variations – which is really just lifting and dropping your ring and/or pinkie fingers on the thinnest string on the second and third fret.

I was wondering why I was only getting 9.5s recently. I’ll be strangling my homeless victims with guitar strings instead of piano wire in future. This site is a veritable goldmine

“It was the guitar case that did the trick, bumping up his chances to 31%.”
So, this means guys should carry around an empty guitar case on their back? LOL))

Thanks for the article! More evidence that “fake it til you make it” is a valuable method.

that’s because often what qualifies as an alpha male really is context dependent. an indie band guitar player who just left the stage after a performance is going to clean up with the cute hipster chicks, but put him in the mailroom of a fortune 500 company and the women who work there won’t even notice him. the fact is, much of male attractiveness is relative status — relative to men as well as to women.
