Clueless, I don't think that your post was a stupid guess. Women don't pursue hobbies in the same way that men do.
You know what they say about boys and their toys - and for boys the audio hobby is usually about playing with toys. For me, audio is primarily about enjoying music. I buy a couple of new CDs every month, and although I have my favorites, I try not to listen to the same things over and over.
As a distant second, I also enjoy the creativity involved with trying different cables and components, but for me it is always about the music first and foremost. Most of my (female) friends like music, attend concerts, and have some sort of mass-market system at home. My girlfriends are generally impressed with my system, but only two of them have come over for a critical listening session.
What do I think about women in hi-fi? When I meet some I'll let you know.
