a drinking 'solution' so to say...

personally its good to have a broad thats openminded, cause if you say you 'judge' people by what they listen to, then you are open for 'judging' by any number of people, and most likely more than you know.

overall its case by case, but my girlfriend wanted to make out during Xpander when we were seeing Seb, so i guess i cant complain!

I would love to meet a girl who loves trance - in fact any dance music apart from hard house.
the more interests you have in common - the more chance there is of the relationship working.

what's wrong with hard house?

anyway.. i disagree, me and my girlfriend are totally opposite. she likes to build crafts out of construction paper, cards, scrapbooks and stuff. I like to take a stick and light it on fire and swing it around like a madman. i like to go to raves with thousands of people, she gets uncomfortable around more than 3 or 4 people at once. I am very trusting, she is not.. the list goes on.

our differences compliment each other, we make a good team.

we do agree on music however though, we both LOVE trance. I spin records while she sits on the couch and bounces to the music, or makes crafts in another room of our house.

honestly if she didn't like trance, it would annoy me, but it's no reason not to be with someone, (or to dump them). there was a time in my life when i listened to music she hated, (koRn, limp bizkit, deftones, marilyn manson) we survived, i just listened in private.

Lucky bastard j/k, I had the opportunity of doing this kind of thing in the past and I know how great it feels like

Oh, and Prototrance hates hard house, that's why he "would love to meet a girl who loved any dance music apart from hard house"

yeah, i am a lucky guy, i know this. we will be married in 241 days too!

hates hard house eh? strange. it's not my favorite, but i like it sometimes..

my fiance hates d&b, so i just don't play that, i like trance the best anyway.

fuck, i've been lonely for ever, if choosing a girl i chose only those who listen to trance, then i'd have to move to other country 'cuz no-one listens to trance here. you guys are too picky, it must be bad to date someone who doesn't *respect* your style of music, but don't get to the extremes!

John Smith: Really? Congratulations mate, I wish you two a happy marriage

By the way, have you decided what to play at the wedding? It'll be pretty mind if they play "Binary Finary - 2000" or "William Orbit - Adagio For Strings (Ferry Corsten mix)" when the bride walks in

And the d&b this is not so bad, if she likes breakbeat just slow it down and she won't mind

i used to strongly believe that trance was a requirement when shopping for men. however ive come to realize that it's not as neccessary. i mean yeah it's great to have yer partner love the tunes and go to the parties together, but there's nothing greater than the feeling of being loved by the person you love regardless of his musical preference. though being a tranceaddict i still think somewhere in the back of my head to ask every person i meet in hopes of meeting another ta what music they listen to. (wow long runon sentence)

yep, really! i don't think we'll be playing trance at the wedding, maybe on the honeymoon though!

I wholeheartedly agree with Swamper and dizzt: Constact arguing will be inevitable, provided you're serious about your love for Trance (meaning, you'd not just like to listen to it with headphones in the bus, but "spread" the love, share it, live it with some, maybe experience beautiful moments with your partner while being accompanied by it) Electronica additicion is a LIFESTYLE, u dont have to listen/talk about it 24/7 but it determines who you are in some sense. Its really amazing when I meet ppl (unfortunately just guys ) here in my country, where trance as we love it is de facto unknown, who love it too, and discover how many other things we've got in common (be it movies, interest in books, politics whatever)..it kinda goes hand in hand.
I find it hard to believe that I could have a working relationship with a girl who cant relate to my lofe for electronic AT ALL. It's become such a great part of me...I really dont know. Like Porky, I also automatically lose respct to some1 when I see how he listens to mtv shite. I experience that almost every week when listening to records at my local store, finding a girl really attractive but suddenly read "austria top 40!" "Best of Trance (Pulsedriver and Jan Wayne)" or "without me" on the cds shes hearing........It's disgusting

On a side note: speaking of peronality as a whole and music taste...what do u think is true: You listen trance because of your "special" personality..or you discover trance and your personality kinda changes in accordance with this new "lifestyle" ?

It's just because of the way you think: you can wait for 3 minutes long intros, you know that electronic music is not as repetitive as it seems to be (you do pay attention to the layers fading in and out and you the loop doesn't disturb you because you can wait for what comes next). I started to listen to electronic music without external influences, since all my mates used to listen to pop stuff when I got into it (which is kinda normal, since I was 9 when I started to listen to house music ). Therefore, I don't think your personality changes in accordance with this new lifestyle because, we would end up being the same thing, and it's not what happens Even though there's some influence from other people who might change you a bit, I don't think that's such an important factor.

I guess

Originally posted by Porky would u ever date someone who doesn't like trance? i've been thinking about this for awhile and i've come to conclude that it's not worth it music should be a deciding factor in relationships as it defines who you are arguments? yes? no? Pork

my gf and i generally have the same taste in music. bob marley, sublime, red hot chili peppers, nirvana, beatles, etc. and i mean i got my trance and breakbeat, which she isn't really into. but it doesn't matter. we love each other enough that she can put up with some of my music, and i can respect the fact when she doesn't want to hear it. it works.

i completely agree pat.

and damn, you have some good taste in music!

(bob marley, sublime, red hot chili peppers, nirvana, beatles)

i like all those, and other stuff, hendrix, matthew good band, i mother earth, the doors, and some harder stuff, tool, a perfect circle, NIN, etc.

you have to be open minded. although, i think a line can be drawn. if your potential mate HATES the music, then that will make it really hard. like i have this one friend, he's an eminem fan, and he just hates electronic music, of all kinds, and always needs to point out (no one listens to techno) i don't think i could go out with him if he was a girl even!

but if he was just neutral about it, it would be ok.

yes, she is

I think it's shallow to choose a woman that way, my gf likes some trance and some stuff I wouldn't touch, but she doesnt like hardstyle like i do so it works both ways


My best friend is actually the total opposite to me, into rock music & shit, but me & her dont argue over music like we do on the forums, so in a way it helps to be different

I see what you are saying there. You both like trance - and it compliments your relationship - thats what I was getting at.

And BTW - I dont like hard house coz I think it is an immature sound and it is has no melody. Melody is what moves me. The hard dance music I like is techno and hard trance - because it isnt just a senseless banging of kickdrums with an offbeat bassline (IMO)

Ive tried it it sucks.I wanna go and jump some but he didnt like jumping!! i wanted to go hear djs and he didnt want to!! so we would go seperate all the time!! so imo i think it is a deciding factor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmm

i'd like to think that i listen to trance b/c of my 'special' personality. i think alot of people who listen to trance 'think' in a certain way... but..

i'd have to say the latter. we've all been listening to shite b4 we discovered trance (which has only gotten popular in the last 10 yrs or so and is still evolving). it is a lifestyle, there is no other way.. yup i'm addictEd!





Pork

Doesn't it sound a bit arrogant to say that we're special/superior because of our musical taste? We're just different, that's all

Hm I would date someone if they didn't like trance, but we'd have to have some similar music taste. Otherwise, I'd just go mad. There is only soo much country you can tolerate before you break the cd

Why would you say that we are differnet? i mean trance is music everyone listens to music its just that they all have different taste!! nobady is different because of the music they listen too

Originally posted by RedLunatik nah its not but it sure would be nice.... if she's into trance too and not just bitching for me to take it off everytime i put a track on know what i mean but either way... i like all types of music except country though i wonder if im one of the few or only ta who's a rapper

well, im certainly not a rapper. but i do in fact write down lyrics every now and then. helps me get stuff off my chest.

as for the actualy thread... my girlfriend basically HATES trance music. she does tolerate it however. and she loves me for who i am, no matter how much i love music. plus, she respects my love and even comes out to clubs with me and goes crazy to songs that i play int he car all the time. like at pvd she went nuts to fucking society... and i love her more than anything in the entire world... we do fight over trance sometimes.. but everyone fights over some things.

i don't think that i would be able to either because music is such an important part of my life - especially trance. if someone didn't at least respect my music, it would never work

Originally posted by Mr.Mystery Choosing a girl/boyfriend by the music she/he likes? Jeez, how shallow can you get?

can u please explain how that is shallow? if a girl doesn't like your music style then more often then not she's going to make stupid comments on it; which would drive me, personally, nuts and lead to a breakup. If she didn't like, BUT, was open to it, and accepted it, then I wouldn't care.

Originally posted by Maaz Mr. Mystery: have you ever dared to go out with a Backstreet Boys' fan? Believe me, music taste does matter Anyway, the more things you have to share, the better it'll be for the relationship Even when the music wasn't involved (maybe it's a coincidence), some of the best dates I've ever had were either with trancers or junglists. Obviously, music taste is not everything. Going out with girls who don't like the same music maybe also a good experience (that's how I got into ska for 2 months, hehe). It's not a matter of being shallow or narrow-minded, but it's just a bit of logic

What's Ska? I heard of it before but, I don't know exactly WHAT it is...
