IMO, if you are really attracted to someone, their musical taste will make little difference, especially if it is relatively mainstream. Musical snobbery = close-mindedness and pretension - add the overreaction and you appear out of control. Not a good combo for many women. IMO open-minded, down-to-earth, in control men are more attractive.
I happen to listen to jazz, so I'm sure some think my musical taste is odd... I do also like the relatively calm, laid-back coolness generally displayed by jazz musicians/fans though - fits my personality. To me, your swearing/two-fist pounds would indicate a level of over-emotionalness and lack of control I wouldn't find attractive. Maybe your choice of music is making you over stressed?
You're not a musical snob, you're a douchebag. Banging your fist is a display of aggression. The fact you did this around women you don't even know well is very troubling. I see domestic violence in your future.
I read it the exact same way. Great minds and all....
While sitting at a bar chatting up some decent women they were exposed to musical snobbery and a tantrum. When the subject of Dave Mathews came up I hurled obscenities and banged my fist on the bar 6x. One woman did not flinch she stayed with me through the conversation. The other one made a disapproving horrified gesture and kind of turned away. I then went on to berate Phish, Oar, and jam rock in general. The one blonde chick was kind of fascinated and was listening to me with definite interest. SHe then reintroduced herself and what she did for a living. We had a laugh and I even admitted I should stop being such a musical snob especially when i can't play guitar to save my life. Then she left but made a point to say she would be back another time. There could be something here.
You most likely came off as a jerk.... not saying, just saying....
I'm a food and music snob, but I don't around pounding the table.
LOL funniest post I read all day. If a guy started pounding his fist on the table like a freakin caveman and cursing because he didn't like a particular artist or music playing, there's no way I'd ever want to talk to that guy. What a creep!

What the hell is the matter with you?
Why don't you tell us what kind of music YOU like, Mr. Musical Snob, so we can throw a hissy fit if we don't approve?
I know someone who used to fight over bands and music, even with his gf. He was so weird.
This is another of those "issues" that really aren't. It's too bad people try to make it a point of divisiveness.
