You need one or two more failed relationships to realize the useless of
fondness in female friendship. Broken hearts are for a****les indeed, and if you do not understand that then you're probably out to lunch.

But if you do bump into a woman around my age who likes king crimson....send her my way. |
Ahh, but that's where you're wrong! Prog is a genre, and it can be between anybody of either sex. It's too amazing to keep it from the opposite gender XD

Which is exactly what I did not want to happen!
I say that in that case we would have missed a great opportunity to express opinions on what that friendship in its various aspects

Exactly!
They are two different things. I prefer the human warmth to heat a CD! Also because a woman will ever understand ... A CD can do so?
And the honest friendship of a friend (preferably female, for me) is the best thing there is, in this world! |
Once you go hermaphrodite you'll never go back. And what exactly do you have against cross dressers anyway?

If I understood correctly... Given my knowledge of English language... I believe that love should also have a deep friendship. I believe also that there are various forms of deep friendships. By Prog I have, in a certain sense, that profound sense of satisfaction that is part of the love of the material things... What we do not know and explain that we exchange for love! |
It was a bad joke. CD is short in English for both Compact Disc and Cross Dresser.

Hmm ... I believe that everyone can believe as a dress. But it is the kind of mentality of those that you described that I do not like. And here I would like to conclude not be censored!

Interesting artice, enjoyed it.
Well I think it is somehow connceted very much, these two essences of life, music is there to remind me some experiences in life, feelings especially about girls, and makes it all more intense. In progressive music I percieve a lot of depth, emotions, kind of intelligence, that I usually don't find much in other styles (though there are many exceptions, of course), especially in most of mainstream.
I can't go to disco and find girl there, because can't accept this, to me very superficial music and lifestyle as a whole, that is disgusting. Guess that someone who love music in that way I do, usually doesn't search for woman who is shallow, follows the fashion, trends etc. (I find most of girls like that unfortunately, I'm still surrounded by this life as university student).
Speaking for myself, concerning mentality of girl, I have always difficult and complicated time to find similar soul in her, I much insist on that sort of similar qualities like in music (man who can enjoy and like mainstream music played on discos, usually don't have problem to enjoy more shallow women that I really can't stand).
So... it may give no sense what i've written:), but still there is surely something about it.:)

I am a misanthrope, I relate more to music than to people, no seriously!!!  This also means I hate small talk like few things in the world so when I make conversation of substantial length outside my professional orbit, it is to do with music or books or sports...in which case, I am almost always talking to men rather than women. For whatever reason, in my country women are not encouraged, though not discouraged either, to have artistic ideas, so I don't bump into any women who are as passionate about music as I am or some of my male friends are without making it a livelihood. I am in agreement with Johnobvious though I have not entered into relationships with women so far in life. Do not let the facade of gentleness and warmth deceive you. My observation is that even in matters of work, women are more likely to doublecross you than men....men are - let's accept the truth guys - a little stupid and horrible at acting and they usually crack under pressure and start 'singing' - before you say 'smartaleck', let me tell you I am no different. I have seen some women colleagues deny their responsibilities in a job we both had worked on together at the crunch moment with an absolutely straight, innocent face and leave me alone in the firing line. More recently, I was on an audit assignment where I watched with amusement a pretty young woman employee flirt subtly but evidently to escape censure from her boss and routinely rant vehemently at her fellow employees to lay the blame for her mistakes on them. I don't really blame her, if I could get rid of all my problems by flashing a million-dollar smile, why not?

Andrea, I thought a lot about my post last night and was worried I was trying to come across as some type of expert, which I am certainly not. Once you think you know it all, you are doomed so you have to always be willing to learn and roll with the punches.
I lived with a woman for three years prior to marrying someone else and when I look back on that, I realize how totally devoid of any knowledge about women that I was. She left me because I had become a jerk. Of course after she goes, that's when I decide to be a man and I asked her to marry me, which she declined. I was pretty broken up but now I know it was for the best for both of us. I wish her only the best because she deserved a better man than what I was then.
I believe you will have happiness in your future. After all, you are Mandrakeroot!

Hi, I'm in total agreement!!!! Music without emotion is not music that I enjoy at all. Unlike many here I love Genesis's Duke album because that's all about emotion!!! Some of the most powerful music that I know has come from Journey because of the emotion behind them!!!

Well this will probably be of no help but my wife and I have a very strong bond yet we share very little overlap in musical tastes. So as much of a music nut as I am and as much as she isn't it all works out.
