The researchers found a positive correlation between the time spent playing guitar chords and the desire facet of the Sociosexual Orientation Inventory Revised. This suggests that guitarists who devote more time to playing chords are more motivated towards casual sex. However, when the researchers conducted a multiple regression analysis to see if guitar-practicing habits could predict the number of lifetime sexual partners, the overall model did not show a significant result.
So guitarists spend lots of time practicing to attract women, but it doesn’t actually work. They could probably find similar results with gym rats.

Read the actual paper. Psypost is a shit source. The headline is clickbait and the direction the article goes isn’t the direction the study went. As usual, Psypost is really interested in saying things they want to say not thing the study was covering.

Should have read the solo
The last quote made me giggle like a madman.
Yeah, my take away from just reading the abstract is that the study doesn’t really conclude anything significant. One of the reasons is that they weren’t able to get a diverse sample, only W.E.I.R.D dudes.
What I think should the headline is not about how well they get laid, it’s that metal players don’t do it to get laid.
Hell of a headline, but…
To delve into this intriguing topic, the researchers conducted an online survey with 328 initial participants, eventually narrowed down to 44 heterosexual male guitarists who were fans of metal music. The participants ranged in age from 18 to 47 years, with the majority being from the United States and Poland. The majority were single, had a bachelor’s degree, and identified themselves as middle-class – a demographic representation typical of the two most represented countries.
This is really not a study
Sometimes a study just states the obvious. Like of course it makes sense, but I’m glad it’s being confirmed via scientific methods.

Think about the clicks!
That’s why I switched to accordion.
Solid strategy. If Weird Al isn’t swimming in pussy nobody is.
Just gonna leave this here: https://youtu.be/tF3EGJw4qag?si=SinQictF3JjVR1vT
Every bass player forwarding this on to their six string dude right now
When was the study done? If they did it during the hair metal heydays of the 1980s, the results would be different.
AI image is fucked up. 27 tuner keys on the headstock? Uh, no. And what the fuck, 12 knobs? Mini-humbuckers? The fuck? And the guy must be really little? Fuck this.
I’d go for a 27 string guitar with 12 knobs over 3 pickups, that’s like a volume and a mini 3 band EQ per pickup.
Probably a 7 string with doubled and sympathetic strings like a sitar. \m/
Now that you mention it, I’ve never seen a picture of Randy Rhoades or Yngwie Malmsteen with a girl…
Skwisgaar had some girls …
Skwisgaar Skwigelf needs no girls.
Just let me fingerblast your fretboard
Had to check the date to see if this is a joke. Still don’t know for sure.
The year is 2024, so the answer is yes
heavy metal has always been a modern, electrified version of some neolithic ritual behavior… even Spinal Tap knew this…
Why you doing that with your hands, Thag?
Feels right
What is it?
It’s air something. Air … something.
Hmmm… so low key insult “you into metal, huh”.
