   My wife is a music teacher, (she teaches voice) and she likes a lot of stuff by Focus, Gentle Giant and stuff like that. Sometimes when Ihave someonee over who is into these bands I get her to sing along to a madrigal in a Gentle Giant track and it freaks them out. Should hear her do Hocus Pocus!

	The 'girls' over at Greglake.com find this guy rather attractive: Perhaps Gentle Giant just don't have 'it'

	Well, so I'm a Lucky Man! I know a lot of girls who loves PROG, I personally know the webmaster (woman) of Le Orme site! Oh yeah, Italy is a very strange place to live on...

	Well, but is there any Luis Miguel male fan all over the world? I would love to say "Raggy, you're wrong", but (sadly) I can't, because all my life I tried to find just ONE girl who can really enjoy prog music, and it was impossible, I don't know why. Actually, when I turn up the cd player volume, my wife-girlfriend says "Please, honey, don't torture me"

	Where's Tauhd? We could get her perspective. I do agree, most women do not care for Prog or music that you can't dance to. Thsi is a similar thread at the Holdsworth site. Chicks at a FUSION gig are basically, "rare." Jim "twinkle toes" Garten may have some valuable information since he spends sooo much time writhing about the nubile young hard bodies, whilst flogging his whippet on the dance floor of the local Techno establishment.

	I've never met, or even established the existence of, a single female who genuinely likes Gentle Giant. A friend of mine once had the unfortunate notion to put "Knots" on an otherwise "female-friendly" mix tape for an ex-girlfriend of mine -- I still remember how fast she slammed down on that fast forward button and the disturbed look on her face that remained afterwards. "What the HELL WAS THAT?" ...

	I first discovered Floyd (dsotm), Yes(Awaken) and Genesis (Nursery Crymes) at the tender age of 12, via a friend's father's LP collection. It was 1980 and little did I know, the dawn of the most artistically devoid decade since the dark ages. Throughout my teenage years I clung desperately to the heavenly sounds and expanded my knowledge of music, while all about me raved about the latest Spandau Ballet/Duran drivel. I was not entirely on my own in this, and like most fans of elite (unfashionable) music I set about meeting people of a like mind. I soon discovered a rather disturbing side to prog and it is this aspect I would like to discuss: CHICKS DON'T DIG IT!! Everytime I'd whip out my Tales from Topographic it would be "Haven't you got the new Wham/Kajagoogoo etc." Any girlfriend worth keeping would require "grooming" in the ways of prog. I lost my virginity to Close to the edge, but she said it was putting her off! I Get Up, I Get Down, it's not brain surgery. It has been said that Genesis turned coat with "Follow You, Follow Me", as that was the first single by the band that turned the female ear, thus doubling their potential fan base. Is prog testosterone driven, or is it a right brain/left brain thing, or what? Are there any female prog fans out there? (By which I mean females who discovered prog other than via a boyfriend and/or genuinely love it?) Hope no one takes me for a sexist. I'd love to hear from fans who can proove me wrong, or if not at least suggest reasons for this phenomenom?
