Dumb question # 69: Why are the best women attracted to bass players?

Notice that I didn't say the MOST women or the YOUNGEST women or the SILLY DRUNK women. But it seems as though the bass player usually has the finest wife or GF in the band. And at gigs, the really classy babes come over to talk to the bass player, the really trashy women head straight for the guitar player, the youngsters eye the singer, and the nuns head toward the keyboard player. The drummer gets some of all of the above. Those drummers have a magical thing with women.

 

Anyway, back to the stupid question. What is it about bass players that attracts the FINE women? We're not typically outrageous attention hogs. We're the calm, supportive, quiet guys who play the part that most people don't even hear (only feel). 'Tis a quandary!

Dan,

 

I think it's because we ARE calm, supportive, quiet guys who can have a little fun, too. After women are done chasing the "guitar players" and "drummers" of the world, what they really want for the long run is a "bass" player.

Well, remember the thread on Chicism?

In my case, i gripe when i see my ex...damn she's just one piece of work...

when i look at my girl...uhmmm...they seem to get better and better... :D

okay enuff of that.... :rolleyes:

well, i believe that bassists get the good ones coz the good ones like guys with good timing and someone who could really groove....

Austin Powers may be an ass (pardon me!) but hey, this guy can groove!

If Jaco's bass sound farts, please forgive me for doing it always!

I think it's because the best women know that bass players do it deeper.

 

Duh!

 

Man, that would make a great bumper sticker or T-shirt. :)

Bassplayers aren't paid to play fast, they're paid to listen fast.

I dunno... in my band, *all* the women talk to me. But that's probably because I'm the lead singer as well as the bass player. And my guitarist weighs 300 pounds (he's practically married, anyway).

 

I wouldn't call any of these women great, though. One of them, though not ugly, wasn't all that hot. And she was really drunk. I was singing Feel Like Making Love and I guess she thought I was singing to her. Next thing I know, she's standing beside the stage, running her hand up the inside of my thigh. I'm trying not to laugh while I'm singing, but I'm ticklish... So on our break, the waitress comes over and asks me, "Do you know that lady?" "Um, no. Never seen her before." "Oh. She's telling everybody she's your girlfriend."

 

At a different gig, another woman spent the better part of our third set fellating my mic stand and humping the front edge of the stage directly in front of me.

Women are drawn to self-assured, in-control guys, and bassists (if they're good) convey that sense.

 

Plus, somebody told me that bass frequencies travel about 2 ft. or so off the ground, just about crotch height (not to be vulgar!). So maybe there's a correlation (conscious or not) between the pleasurable sensation and the guy producing the sound that produces the sensation?

If you guys get the good looking girls, I'm happy for you. I met my attractive wife :love: at college, and it was some time before she saw me play bass. At gigs, I couldn't draw flies much less attractive women.

 

I'm not doubting the phenomenon though - I've met PJR's wife :love:

I saw that movie ("Stripes") the weekend before I went to basic training and so did everyone else that went to basic training the same time I did. Bad move. The Drill Instructors didn't think it was funny and we all paid.

 

I am sure that was just an excuse to dog us.
