My ex-boyfriend is a musician. I thought he was the love of my life when we were together (we were together for a long time) and now he's my best friend. I didn't know he was a musician when I first met him either. I tend to get a sense of a gentle spirit and a sensitivity from men who are musicians. That's always my first impression of them -- even before I know they're musicians. I play piano and flute and used to sing competitively, and I'm creative and artsy and I guess I feel a kinship with other creative people.

Most of my close male friends are musicians and about 80% of the men I have dated have been musicians.

So many of my friends complain about the men in their lives being uncommunicative, unemotional, etc. I have never experienced that in any of my relationships. All the men I've dated have been very emotional, sensitive, open, talkative, etc. I'm guessing that personality is more common amongst musicians... and I'm drawn to that personality type.

They usually have long hair and beards too... and I have a thing for long hair and beards. Mmmmm....
