Confession time
A friend of mine (Miss A) is a fool for any guy in a band. Even if the band are absolutely terrible she doesn't seem to care, she just loves to see a guy on a stage. I have to confess that Miss A and I have been abusing the Virgin Student attention in order to win her the opportunity to meet "Band Guy," a suitor that has been writing to me at length, for over a week. For the last three days, Miss A has been helping me with my correspondence with Band Guy. Yesterday night his band were playing at a venue in Oxford. I decided to let Miss A pose as me for the evening in order to provide her with the opportunity to meet Band Guy. I know that might seem like an abuse of the situation, (well it is) but I really don't think that Band Guy minded especially since Miss A just texted me informing me that she only JUST got home after spending the night with him!

The Virgin Student dating agency: apply online here!
filthy whore!
I'm not certain how "filthy whore" applies. Glad that risk worked out ;)
Your Blog is funny. Best of luck.

there is no Miss. A... they are one and the same.. VS +A... she just had a taste of cock and wants to keep playing... just one theory... xxx
Haha. Get out! Just when you thought the quest couldn't get any more amusing. Very good indeed. Good for Miss A.
As for your theory, babe magnet, it's interesting but not likely, I don't think. Oh, and in an effort to maintain a dignified tone, how about we keep the vulgarity to a minimum? Haha, only joking.
On a related note, this little anecdote -- aside from amusing me with its ribald charm -- raises a question that's never been answered to my satisfaction. What is it about guys in bands?
Miss A, after all, is hardly alone in suffering from what I call the Barry Manilow mania. Clearly, not all women suffer from it, but a large number do; enough, in fact, to make its cause worthy of scrutiny. I find, much like with Miss A, it has almost nothing to do with the music or the native charm of the man; hence Barry Manilow.
Any theories--? I suppose, for some women, it could be something specific to their own personality, but I've always sensed there's a more abstract, overarching appeal; some psychological motive unique to women at large.
God knows there's no such thing as a male groupie.
On an unrelated note, welcome to the cadre of commentators, Steve. And geezer, if you cannot act with some modicum of decorum, please remain silent.
VS is God.
Haha, I'm done: good night kids.
you think there are no male groupies? I'm sure if that's true it's not forwant of trying but only because female stars aren't into the endless casual sex.
I don't know...think of the poor guy in the band. He was expecting a virgin, after all. He might have been quite disappointed.
Well, as far as I can tell, men want to have sex with and/or date female rock stars insofar as they want to have sex with and/or date women, period. I really don't see any inherent appeal in a woman being a rock star to a man; at least not to the same extent as a man being one for a woman.
Put differently, if a woman is attractive, a man will want to have sex with and/or date her irrespective of the fact she's a rock star-- that will just not enter the equation; not substantially anyway.
On the other hand, a woman will go for a man she wouldn't be caught dead even talking to, or hell, looking at, just because he strums a guitar and wears sequins, or some such nonsense.
I'm willing to stand corrected, but really, I've seen it happen so many times to simply think it's just some baseless generalization. Of course, I don't mean all women -- not even most -- but there's certainly a good number for which this mania applies, whereas with men it's just not a factor. I'm sure you could point to exceptions, but then, there are always exceptions.
Haha, yes -- that poor musician. I'm sure he didn't give a damn, unless he wanted the "prestige" Mr. First Kiss passed on.
marvin, methinks part of the answer lies with the idea that women are attracted to power. power=security therefore evolution-wise, desirable. if you are on a stage, people are watching etc - you can manipulate a crowd, then you have more power that random audience member. also musicians are seen as more artistic, hence possibly more sensitive/caring. of course these are still theories. i personally love listening to acoustic guitars and a guy singing but that could be the russian influence...
so what do you think? :)
Miss Ruskaya, I think you're probably right on both counts. I myself had thought it was something along similar lines, but I still can't figure out why such an allure often persists after the performance ends. If the perfomer is not just charismatic, sensitive, caring on stage, it makes sense, but if once he stops performing, he's a moron, a creep, a weakling, et cetera, then shouldn't the attraction disappear? In many cases, it does not.
One always loses interest in the magician once you see that he's just a trickster, n'est-ce pas? Isn't a similar principle involved?
Oh hell, I'm just bitter because I'm in no way musical and thus, stand utterly devoid of this seductive power.
Haha, oh well.
I think the picture posted on the following page by The Virgin Slut is particularly appropriate here.http://virgin-slut.blogspot.com/2005/03/bless.html
Haha, good one. In fact, it would work better than the other one, I think.
"I'm a virgin: save me-- do my friend instead."
Yes, it subverts one's expectations because the save me, upon first glance, would suggest you want the person to have sex with you, rather than have your virginity preserved.
Then again, in this new light, this save me rather rests on the assumption that all men are victimizing male predators. Hmm, back to the drawing board..
VS, speaking of the Virgin Slut, you should begin some kind of dialogue with her -- she, after all, seems to interest you. Have you contacted her? Does she know about your mission?
