Given that prog acts were very popular and top-charting in the seventies, there must have been some women who bought their records back in those days. Or did only men contribute to these sales ?

^ ^ I have a good luck about my brother because he is also prog rock fan. We're gonna make a t-shirt "Art rock is not dead" this holiday with logos and some art of our fav bands :) But except of my brother I know only 2 another prog fans (fortuntey one of them likes VDGG and the second Genesis) ... Poor we prog fans. Only few people from the world know the greatest genre of music!  Poor majority people.

there are certain topics that are allways possible to talk about or start conversation. The weather, the family, the musical taste :)

It would be unnatural for me, I'm afraid. When I start talking about the weather I always do it in an ironic way.

Ah, thanks! 
btw I have to say I don't know lots of songs from Porcupine tree, neither the second band. VDGG, Yes and Genesis that's mine..
And when there are handsome men in the band, it's even better.

Will you marry me? Just kidding.... But I do find that to be a wonderful thing though... All the girls I've ever played VDGG to - seemed scared or just plain hostile - and to think that I always start out with something melodic and smooth like My Room.... |
Feeling sad about it because VanDerGraaf is my fav band from all prog rock bands, and there are probably not more than 2 or 3 women in the world who likes them.
Ungrateful girls!

 Well as long as you like them, then that hopefully should be enough. Nothing can ever take that away from you. But yeah, sometimes it can get a little lonely not being able to share one's musical tastes with friends and family.

To be fair I don't really know what the women I know like as I'm too shy to talk to them.

Can you really know somebody, if you're too shy to talk to them? But I guess you have a point. |

You should charm them with your Finnish ways - and infinite knowledge on progressive music.

In real life, i know a few prog fans. My dad, my uncle, and my mom. And I know quite a few of prog fans here, almost all of them being male. So I know very few women proggers compared to guy proggers.
