I find this whole notion of guys being more into prog than gals to be a bit overrated.

Just wait till Rachel reads this. Prove that women are capable of listening to enlightened music and I'll change my mind.  You don't define "enlightened" music but assuming you're talking mainly about prog there are enough females on this site to prove you're wrong.

Well... at the end I think we all agree that men and women are different in tastes and that's nothing to do with brain capabilites, just that we are different... and I do repeat: that's what we love each other... and I have met maybe 8 or 10 girls that like prog... and that's more than my male friends... which are maybe 3 or 4 so...

Wow, all reaganwillshottyLibs and Qboyy007' s posts have vanished into thin air, disappeared into a puff of illogic.

And I really thought this was such a civilized site...

Never knew Trolls like enlightened music either, certainly riddles maybe, This discussion is rediculous.

Exactly. Llama, do you really think this thread was about starting "serious discussion" on the subject? I study psychology and have taken classes on the subject for christ's sake and never have I found a good way to start a scientific or serious discussion about a subject using so mature comments as the first posts did....  And yes, women don't react because they left this site long ago...

I was serious when I posted the topic. When we were at the show last Sunday, my 20 year old son looked over to me and commented, "Look around Dad, it's all middle aged men here. I thought, hey, I'll present the question to Progarchives, hoping to stimulate an analytical discussion on why that is so. Forgive me, I am a newbie. There was no malice in the question, it was strickly based on observation. I certainly do not know the answer myself. Even early Genesis were puzzled that they only attracted male audiences for the most part, and that is well documented. This is not true in most other genres of music I might add. In hindsight, perhaps I should have stated the question this way, "Why did the Transatlantic concert attract so many middle aged men?" After reading many of these non intellectual, emotional, knee jerk replies, I have a feeling I would have pissd off some other demographic regardless of how I worded it. We are not solving world peace here. Everybody needs to take a chill pill!

Oh, well nevermind then.
