I was married to a guitarist. We aren’t mad at the guitars; we’re mad at the expense and that they tend to spend every ounce of free time/money on them, to the exclusion of paying bills and basic home maintenance
This honestly sounds exactly like a guy I know. He's a terrible guitarist but keeps spending a shit ton of money on guitars and gear and paid for expensive lessons (but never practiced according to his now ex) but would get mad when she'd buy something for her mineral/crystal collection. Like dudes put thousands of dollars into his hobby, excuse me his passion, and would get pissy when she'd spend maybe a hundred bucks in a year on cool rocks.
Guitar player here. Over the years I've heard plenty of disparaging stereotypes about musicians in general. Not a single person has been this stupid. Even when I was so bad and new that I could get a better tune out of plucking a pigeon.
Maybe it’s like… expensive things men spend money on vs women? Like a guy trying to express his girlfriend saying “why did you spend so much money on a guitar, it’s just wood and metal” vs. a gal liking gemstone jewelry??
You reminded me of that AITA post on Reddit where this guys came in and asked if he was the asshole for dumping out his girlfriend’s expensive shampoo and replacing it with a cheap same color knock off brand to prove she was waisting her money and wanted to “help” her see this. After she used the knock off shampoo once and came out after drying and styling her hair…he complimented her on it. She smiled and said it’s why she buys and uses the expensive shampoo she uses and he like HA she just proved my point that every shampoo is the same crap and she’s just wasting her money. She’ll thank me when I point this out to her only of course she didn’t and got angry at him and he just couldn’t understand why.
That's the real response. Mocking non-geologist women who love shiny rocks is fine, their interest is stupid and they deserve mocking. Guitar collecting is probably a more stupid hobby if you're not an obsessive musician, though.
I think what happened is some guy tried pick up some girl by playing guitar and it didn’t work, he then learned she was into astrology and then made this very specific meme thinking it is a common scenario
I swear it's that same guy who invited his first date over so that she could charge her phone to call an uber, asked about her body count, proceed assuming she was a virgin, proposed to get rid of their virginities together and then played some guitar which she haven't appreciated
Bruh the stereotype is girls are attracted to guitar players 💀💀 the dude who made this probably doesn't even understand what the 'shiny rocks' are used for.
I just moved over a hundred pounds of hoarded rocks out of my moms basement. Zero guitars were present. Clearly, women just really love rocks (and my mom totally isn’t a hoarder…)
Yea women have diffrent preferences she jsut doesn't like guitar and likes stones a guitar isn't objectively better then stones it depends on the person a woman having a different taste then you doesn't make them dumb
I think what the op of the meme meant was that some women collect rocks or crystals or something like that that „emmits a positive aura that strengthens your senses“ or something like that and makes fun of that
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this post isn't directed at all women. I think it's just making fun of people who believe in "healing rocks". Don't know why the guitar is there.
I didn’t realize there were enough women hating on guitars to warrant this.
Yay, in all honesty I thought this would go differently
Probably made by some dude who wasn’t able to woo the ladies as much as he though he was playing Pink Floyd at his HS talent show
There aren't. Someone just ran out of ideas how to be sexist.
Or enough women who like decorative rocks (or whatever the shiny rocks are for).

Some women hate on anything men find enjoyable. Its not the object it's the obsession over the object.
shiny things catch her attention? lol , what does liking rocks instead of guitars have to do with each other ? 😭

I'm a guy, I like both
I'm a geologist, this guy can kiss my rock loving ass.
I used to play in a band called shiny rock
I used to play in a rock band.
Now that's a cool name
"What kind of music do y'all play?" "Shiny rock"

They were trying to make guitars seem like a man thing just so they could be sexist here
I bin learning the guitar since I was in Middle School now I'm about to finish my first year of college
Everyone's a guitarist, ugh... That's why I can't find a drummer /j
I always wanted to learn to play pigeon.

I do perpetuate this stereotype.
Women can enjoy more than one thing 🎸💎
Wtf. I don't know a single woman who hates guitars!
You can tell they just wanted to mock women for “liking shiny rocks” and the guitar thing was the best they could come up with. Embarrassing

Ah yes in the history of time no woman has played guitar and no man has collected rocks. Unheard of. Balderdash.

Maybe the woman prefers Fender over Gibson. I don’t have a Gibson but I have an Epiphone and while I love it, it’s pretty heavy…
Favourite Genres?
As a man I'm also obsessed with shiny rocks.
It means that females don't appreciate the work involved in making a guitar, but are impressed by shiny objects. 🙄
This dude is totally a guitar player that thought it would get him laid and because it hasn’t worked he’s concluding that women hate guitars lol
shoulda been a rock guitarist
Man believed that women are only into rocks because they are shiny.
I think what happened is some guy tried pick up some girl by playing guitar and it didn’t work, he then learned she was into astrology and then made this very specific meme thinking it is a common scenario
Women can look at any object and immediately know what it’s made out of /s
I am a Dwarf. I like Craftsmanship. I like Rocks. I am going to build a Rock Guitar. And play Rock music with it. I love Rock. I am a Dwarf.
Diggy Diggy Hole!
I swear it's that same guy who invited his first date over so that she could charge her phone to call an uber, asked about her body count, proceed assuming she was a virgin, proposed to get rid of their virginities together and then played some guitar which she haven't appreciated
Context : a crystal girl rejected a guitar player and he made this meme that everyone’s supposed to relate to
I think it's an insult to her intelligence. That she needs really simplistic cues to peak her interest.
Bruh the stereotype is girls are attracted to guitar players 💀💀 the dude who made this probably doesn't even understand what the 'shiny rocks' are used for.
SHINY ROCK
I think they are talking about diamonds costing so much? I don’t understand the guitar part fully
At least rocks don't try and play fucking John Mayer when not asked for every chance they get...
[удалено]
This reminded me that I need to put a new string on my guitar. I've been putting it off for weeks now so thank you.
There you see a geologist, who isn't into guitars.
I just moved over a hundred pounds of hoarded rocks out of my moms basement. Zero guitars were present. Clearly, women just really love rocks (and my mom totally isn’t a hoarder…)
I love this sub Reddit
That's actually how I categorize a lot of stuff when I'm shopping
Look, I’m like an otter, give me a nice rock and I’m happy and treasure that rock forever.
It's a strawman I supposs
Women don't like music, obviously
I like how they make this fake scenarios
To make fun of women they have to make up some random bulshit that no one would Say
A nice guy did this
I think the trope is that women like a guy who plays guitar? But also the trope that women like rocks?
victim likes guitar
Correction, it's a guitar that can't stay in tune.
I love shiny rocks, man. They’re so pretty! Guitars are cool too, but ✨rocks✨
Solution: build the guitar out of shiny rock
Many women I know(including me) love crystals and guitars so yeah…
So this is what it ends up to....
The sad part is that I have the same guitar
The sad part is that I have the same guitar
I'd love a shiny rock. I could sell it and get me a really nice Taylor or Takamine for the money.
The 2 genders: guitar and rocks
JESUS, MARIE!!!!! THEY’RE MINERALS!
