Just a question, I could as long as it was not religious music 24/7, but then again the women I date are quite the opposite of the religious type.

I tend to listen to alot of house/deep-soulful house and most women I have met say that my image and my musical taste don't match which makes it easier for them to want to date me.

It makes it easier for women to want to date you because your image & music taste don't match? Huh?

I would not date someone solely based on music taste (or any one factor), but when I first meet someone I can be drawn to them more if we have similar taste. I like to go to shows a lot and listen to music all the time, so that's an interest I'd like to share with someone I date.

No, there'd have to be some other sort of reason...like the sort of music I listen to, since I always wait for the woman to approach me. I don't chase.

I would be more interested in a guy if he liked a lot of the same music I do, because I like a pretty unusual combination of genres, and it would be quite difficult to find someone interested in the same. Music is a big deal to me. If he were a complete mess otherwise, then no, of course this wouldn't be enough to keep it going.

Pretty much ditto here. The wide variety of music is a plus, and I dont listen to 'religious' stations or groups. But that doesnt mean I dont believe, I simply dont care for it. But then, I dont listen to rap either.
Music is everything to me, too. But that doesnt mean that as a music lover, a person HAS to like to every single type of it that exists. Theres a difference between 'liking' a type of genre, and 'having to' listen to it when we're someplace where its playing.

Generally, it's not much of an issue, unless it's folk music. When I say "folk music", I don't mean real folk music, but that New Age peacenik crap from the Sixties and Seventies. It's not an ideological objection -- there is just something about that genre that's like nails on a chalkboard to me. Joan Baez, that kind. And all the people I've seen who are into it are really into it. Back in the day, I decided to be open-minded and dated a guy who was a big fan. He played that s*** all the time. In his house. In his car. Thought if only I listen to it enough, I'll like it too. Gave me a headache. I bailed after a couple of days of this.

Absolutely not.

There's much more to dating and being attracted to someone other than just "Hey, she likes Emenem, I like Emenem. I think we'll get along just perfectly together".

Stupid.

It depends on how much music is a part of their lives, If the radio is on non-stop on a station station I don't like, if they like going to concerts and bars to hear this kind of music every other weekend. If they self identify with the artist in this genre, If they want to drag me to Karaoke bars to watch them sing this music, There could be problems, I know a few African American men who like country music (no Lie) and it is a problem for their "in the club booty shak'n girl friends"
