I haven't been romantically involved with one women that liked the music I listen to, nor did I like all the music they listened to (personal hobbies included), but fortunately, all the women Ive been with were understanding, compromising, and willing to experience new things (me as well).
Compromising is a huge part of being in a relatioship. I know, you're unwilling to compromise, Scribs. Best to remain single.
I'm a musician. I used to be in a band. Used to do session work on occasion. So music has been a big part of my life, too. Yet my wife and I have very little in common when it comes to music tastes. We've been doing quite well for 28 years now.
The OP inadvertently states the problem that exists with the large majority of people who can't find a partner in life. They have a list of requirements and deal killers as long as their arms, yet mope about how they can't find someone who matches their rarefied standards.
So, OP, you find an amazing woman. One who is funny, kind, gorgeous, and smart, someone with whom you can talk for hours on end. Someone who totally gets you. But the minute she says, "You know, I just don't care for heavy metal," she gets the heave-ho. Do I have that correct?

Up until almost four years ago, I spent my life compromising and walking on eggshells so as to please or at least not upset people. Enough already. I'm going to be selfish for a while and chase my dreams and goals without explanation, apology or anything even faintly resembling a 'yes, dear' .
If and only if I decide to change, I'll likely be too old and set in my ways to do anything about it. I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.

Oh. Well, "It's all about me all the time" isn't exactly the motto you want to have in life is you want any kind of healthy and fulfilling relationship.
My friends like to make jokes about my musical tastes sometime.
I like anything that sounds good, but most of what sounds good to me is video game music. I listen to a few classical tracks sometimes as well. I'm not the type to want to blast it in the car or at home. I like cherishing that music on my own. My older brother and I will listen to video game music every now then though. I don't consider myself rigid about music, because as I said my tastes are a little eccentric.
I don't think I would condemn someone for what they like unless they're blasting it and they make a big deal out of it. Music is not that serious to me, so it would be a non issue.

She gets my friendship and my respect. Those are the most important things I can offer anyone. Finding a partner or wife has never been on my to-do list. If she can't accept that and won't take no for an answer, then she gets the heave-ho.

Disagree. You can have a healthy and fulfilling relationship with yourself this way. Some people are more than happy single and not looking.

Well, the word relationship de facto speaks to how you get along with someone else. Unless you have multiple personalities, of course.
