Wow. Didn't know this. I knew I shouldn't have stopped taking piano lessons back in the 3rd grade ;)

Synopsis: Musicians have an evolutionary advantage because they get to fuck more often :)

"Miller points in particular to the example of Jimi Hendrix. Miller has written that, despite dying at 27, Hendrix had ``sexual liaisons with hundreds of groupies, maintained parallel long-term relationships with at least two women, and fathered at least three children in the United States, Germany, and Sweden. Under ancestral conditions before birth control, he would have fathered many more." To Miller, it was Hendrix's status as a music-maker rather than his fame or charisma that gave him this sexual allure."
 


lmao

I can play guitar, trumpet, piano, and saxaphone well, but those skills haven't brought me any benefits that I'm aware of. :)
 
"Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills..." ND
 
I dunno, I've played piano, trumpet, ukalele, recorder, bass, guitar, and tuba, but only guitar and piano seem to get the ladies interested in you at all--moreso guitar than piano. The rest sort of make them say 'What the hell' and run away.
