So who can explain the near lack of females in our hobby? There are far more women discussing football than audio, by a long shot. There are a lot more women into fixing up their cars as well. I just can’t think of a hobby, other than ours, where representation is so close to zero.
If you want to really see why the vast majority of women shun the hobby, just get into a crowded elevator at any audio show and just take a good look around.
I’m still sticking with my white socks and sandals theory. Add plaid shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, and a slide rule in the pocket and the picture becomes even clearer.
I think they are turned off by the men in the hobby. I mean, I wear white socks with sandals as a ploy in order to stay single, but what's your excuse?
