Being in a band, even a low level band, is a great way for young men to get laid, and hence they are highly motivated to do it.
A friend of mine once had a conversation with the drummer of a nationally known band. The drummer was an ordinary looking fellow, who said he was a "high school loser never made it with a lady" type. After the band became known, he looked up and hooked up with every woman who'd rejected him in high school, including the married ones.
- ZoomZoomZoom 8y agoThat's completely anecdotal and isn't typical, at least in the current culture. More often than not this is just a myth that musicians themselves spread to boost their ego and perceived status. Although, there's of course some basis in reality.
- skookumchuck 8y agoRead a history of about any band and you'll see the same effect. For example, see "The Dirt" which is the history of Motley Crue. The lead singer was recruited from another band, explaining that the only reason he had joined the other band was to get laid.

The most successful bands really take all the girls and all less successful just say they get laid constantly to boost their status. 2. Mötley Crüe started almost 40 years ago! Come to any gig of a really loud local band playing their instruments with attitude (don't really want to say "Rock") today and estimate the gender proportion in the crowd.

- ZoomZoomZoom 8y agoYou know, I am the drummer (besides other things).
- skookumchuck 8y agoSorry it's not working out for you, dude :-(
- ZoomZoomZoom 8y agoI was just trying to be serious, honest and objective, sorry it was lost on you.
