This is why I rule out potential dates whose music is awful to me.

My first boyfriend was a "Classic Rock" guy. I knew it would never work out.

Stuck it on my FB.

Also hopefully going to a ska show with the hubby tonight.

Yeah, I'm adding it to my list of first date questions. What else should I ask?

What is it about classic rock guys? There's something cultural going on there. Seems to be associated with a certain machismo, conventional yet tough, a certain narrowness of mind to never venture into other traditions.....

Yeah. I think so.I think musical preferences tell a lot about people.

The thing about that guy was that he was born in 1970, so it wasn't the music of his youth. But the words you use to describe the character of a classic rock fan certainly fit him. He made me feel like his walk on the wild side. And tbh, I'm not that wild.

He also drove an IROC Camaro. Which I also find a conventional choice. It was pretty fun dating a cute boy with a hot car and some money to splash around. AND SHE NEVER DID IT AGAIN.(Um...he was amazing in the sack.Just sayin'.)

I like 'em quirky

Maybe the classic rock boys have a few other things in common? Hmmmm.

I totally agree. Music is definitely one of my 'filters'.

Note to self: could have saved myself the adventure and trauma of Terry in my life if I had stuck to this rule. But no, I failed, and I paid the price.

Love the icon.

Yeah. What comedian said "It's all a ride."? What can you do? You make choices and then see what happens. It's not good now, but it wasn't all a bad experience, either. See, "adventure"!

After I'm done hurting I'll chalk it all up to experience. In the meantime, I'm sad that he was a classic rock guy and couldn't meet me in the land of nuance. I wanted him there too.
