The implication that he was a musician dramatically increased the actor’s appeal. When he was carrying the guitar case, 31 percent of the women gave him their number. This compares with nine percent when he was carrying the sports bag, and 14 percent when he was carrying nothing.

“While only five of the 50 women responded positively to the friendship request that was sent by the profile without a guitar, 14 of the 50 women (28 percent) responded positively to the friendship request that was sent by the profile with the guitar,”

So a very attractive guy has a 1 in 8 chance of pulling
An attractive jock has a 1 in 10 chance in pulling
But an attractive muscian has a 1 in 3 chance?

hmmm

UPDATE: Guéguen reports that he has just finished a replication of the Israeli study, except that the subject of the Facebook profile was a woman. He found whether or not she was strumming a guitar in her photo made no difference in respondents’ willingness to be her “friend.” So adding music to the equation appears to increase the attractiveness of men, but not women.

we didnt need a study to figure that one out..

While the sports bag option seems weird, I would say there is some truth to the musical instrument case.

Last time I carried my trumpet case onto the subway, this cute Bengali girl opened me and tried fairly hard to number close me. The case basically functioned as a prop for her to use an "elderly opener." She played violin or something, and we talked about bands, music, etc.

I wonder if having the guitar case was working in a similar way. It would allow the girl to contribute to the conversation easily by asking about the guitar. Whether or not he was a musician might not have been as useful as simply making it easier for the girl to invest in the convo.

So the sucky part of all this is that he doesn't even need to show off any of his musical ability. He just needs to display the appearance of being a musician. Fucking unbelievable women are.

[Sonsowey]

Try just saying you're a musician.

I am a musican, and play in a band. Chicks always love hearing about it, but honestly never really care to come to shows. They honestly have no idea whether I'm bullshitting or not, but they clearly like it.

I'm pretty sure I can get a used guitar case and keep it in my trunk Casually take it to bookstores.

I got a buddy who carries around an AR-15 in a geetar case, it's been a helluva conversation starter when he brings it out during wednesday night bonfire night.

Yeah. Back in my Black Metal days my friends and I would have all sorts of chicks open us if we did or carried something that implied we were musicians... Despite all of us having long hair, deathly, corpse-like physique, wearing all black with a bunch of pentagrams and demonic imagery on our clothing.
