When my guy friends were in college in the early-to-mid 1990s, we were......subpar to mediocre students. At the time, here in California, I think the gender ratio (in undergrad) was 52% female, 48% male. That was within margin of being 50/50, but still slightly more feminine. But ratios aside, the coeds academically ran circles around us.
If you chose not to be a bitter dude, you could find little pockets, to converse 1-on-1 with a coed. And it was great; unlike with fellow audiophiles, you could talk with the coed on just about any topic. But before broaching those deeper topics, what brought you together? Music.During or after laundry, you'd go over to her room, and flit an eye at her CDs and/or cassettes. Those albums gave you a little insight into her. If you and she had some of the same albums, great. But you were really curious about the albums you did not have. By borrowing her software, you got to check out new-to-you music.
Or maybe she came over to your college apartment. She would help you swap cables and re-position loudspeakers. She went into your kitchen, threw your housemates' foods together, and all of you got to eat dinner together. And then, back with the stereo, you kicked back, and watched her (she wasn't an audiophile) try to describe what she had heard.While you, as an audiophile, liked to whip out our jargon and vernacular, you knew things were right, when the coed bobbed to a dance track, crooned to a love song, or got emotional when a breakup song played.
The coeds parlayed their connections and academic excellence into good jobs.If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. The girls liked to try new foods. Since they typically did not have large appetites, you got to share their foods, finish leftovers.
And now, the music meant even more. So even if we guys were "meh" at best, the saving grace was that our wives were high achievers and breadwinners. And that enabled us guys to go deeper into high-end audio.
