I have to ask

[collectivemike]

You also have to remember 27% of the guys on here are just Casey, so that ratio is actual better than anyone realizes.

Nailed it

T & A are beautiful things, not so much that procedure

dang this thread has really took a turn. I was really just trying to find out where all the girls were. I legitimately have 1 record collecting friend in real life and its a guy. I have no problem talking records with guys but it’d be cool to see more girls into this.

also, just for the record, I have no problem with the boob or ass appreciation threads. some of the comments are semi-creepy but you men are visual creatures and lets face it boobs and asses ARE awesome. I mean, i’d start a mens appreciation thread but for the most part mens naked bodies are just weird.

[circuit bored records]

oh my god the episiotomy diagrams, so nsfw dude

[hipsterasfolk]

^ Soooo wanna go on a date?!

[Shitty Rambo]

You must exalt me once if you stopped scrolling to see if this image would finish loading

[mcpherson123]

Asking yanquiuxo out on a date finally? I knew your latent homosexuality would come out eventually, Hipster! Just kidding!

On topic: I know very few record collectors IRL. About two of them are women and only one is actively collecting/listening. I think women are simply in the minority in regard to this particular hobby. I think it appeals more to the ancient hunter/gatherer aspect of the male persona....or not. I don't know. That was just some bullshit I came up with.

[kriss]

So wait, I thought you were kidding about the nudes requests. That's seriously lame - even in 'underground' subculture, sexism is still sadly rampant...

Please explain how asking someone for a naked photo is sexist. It's certainly crude and tactless, but sexist? I don't see it.

i wrote that wayyyyy late in the middle of the night when I shouldn't have been anywhere near a keyboard. Where I wrote 'sexist', I should have wrote 'misogynist' or 'piggish'

i have tried to get my gf into it but it's not her thing. don't know why. the good news is she likes a lot of the same music as me.

right. it’s cool when the person you’re with likes the same things you do but it’s also cool if they don’t. it’s been across the board for me with guys i’ve dated. I know i’ll probably get hate for this but... even when I go to shows it’s harder to find girls to have a legitimate conversation about music with since I know some of them are only there for the purpose of hooking up with a guy in a band. I know there are some genuine girls around who are into the music and know what they’re talking about, but they are outnumbered.

[mcpherson123]

Don't forget the number of girls who are at a show with their bf to humor him and go to the shows that HE likes. My poor gf is usually this girl.

[BuzzersonKillwell]

So I actually got curious about an academic answer.

Found an article, amongst others, titled "Sizing Up Record Collections: Gender and Connoisseurship in Rock Music Culture" by Canadian Ph. D Will Straw. Summary below.

"Canadian academic Will Straw, the author of several incisive essays on record collecting recalls being interviewed for the documentary Vinyl and learning from its director that despite its best efforts, only five of its hundred collectors interviewed were women. Straw argues that record collecting offers a kind of alternative masculinity in which mastery is based around knowledge and discernment. This appeals to those who are either alienated from or feel inadequate to, the more traditional masculine ideals."

I couldn't find a link to the article because it was pubished in this book: http://www.amazon.com/Sexing-Groove-Popular-Music-Gender/dp/0415146712

Anyone still in school, this could be a good topic for a paper.

yes, that is why we have a boobies appreciation thread and an ass appreciation thread. that why we can be sexist assholes making derogatory comments on sexxy lady parts and then post in a this thread like about how bad the horrible pervs on the internet are.

Melvin I'm usually with you but I'm missing something here. Most of the people in those threads are models, pornstars, and other public figures. Most if not all of those images could be found on google search. PM'ing someone here and asking for nude pictures is very different. It's just rude and wrong.

Thank you for getting what I meant. Those threads are there as a release for our creepiness so we don't PM the few ladies we DO have for n00dz. The comments are still questionable, but in the end most of the ladies in question make a living off of that exact response from guys so how wrong is it?

yeeeeah the last time i saw Ace Enders that's all the girls in front of me talked about "omg i hope he gets a divorce 10/10 would bang blah blah"

[nothingnatural]

I made a comment about them having micro penises and sent them on their way.

Hahaha, I like you.

You really should post the user names of the people that asked though.

So what you're saying is..... We're all dorks?

[meganonthetrain]

where are they. I haven't seen one yet.

Well, hey there! I haven't been here too long but it nice to see some other females on here too! (Also, you don't live that far away from me...maybe if you're ever down for it we could hit some record stores together).

Also, in the short time I've been here I've never have received any rude comments. And that's even in the tattoo thread where my shirt is practically off...

ahaha you were right Like I always said bro.... No Pussy, No Problems

With that being revealed, my GF is actually non-existant. I created her just to justify myself while purchasing Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Brand New records :/

^ the only pussy I need is making my dick lucky

Now I have to check out the tattoo thread. Also, we follow each other on instagram! I had no idea you were from the forum. That's pretty cool.

I almost had my ex going to a Between the Buried and Me show. Then I decided it'd be better for both of us if she didn't go. I had a blast without her, and a blast eating the cake pops she made. Then dumped her a month later.

[exitenglish1208]

what happened to a-money? i disappeared for a while and when i came back she was gone

[avery]

"Avery" is a girl

hi.

can't multi-quote here, but hi to kriss, too.

ya, i'm here. i usually just read the general board and used to scope the sale threads to fill my collection out.

i don't post much because i do spend more time on a couple other boards and the rest of the time, i've got my eye on my 2 yr old.

i totes <3 records though.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Some see a girl post and immediately think "oh the author of that post has a vagina, I want that", so then they try being overly nice to them because of the whole owning of a vagina.

This x 10,000. No need to name names, because the list of VC posters who fall under this category would be hundreds of lines long.
