Do Lads Love The Whistle Playing Lass?

I promise you, this is a purely hypothetical question. There is no one around here that I have a desire to attract 🙂 But it might be nice to know for my future *wink*

Talent is sexy!

Flute. Flute is the sexiest instrument. 🙂

If there is something like objective opinion, then it’s what Ben said! 😀

Cheeky Elf is right! Talent is sexy! Before, I thought I was most attracted to guitarists. Then I thought I was most attracted to fiddlers. Then, I thought I was most attracted to harpists. One of my sisters made a very accurate observation. “You just like girls period”. Lol, she was right. But I love a woman that knows her way around a musical instrument.

Just checked your profile. Dude, you’re ultra-young.

Yes, the demure tootling of the whistle-playing lass is as erotically charged as that of the mallard duck.

Providing the whistle is not one of those loud plastic jobs, that is.

I’m pretty sure that out there somewhere the ghost of Sigmund Freud is glancing this way and arching his eyebrow…

hey, sometimes a whistle is just a whistle

I know I’m young, but I like to plan ahead and if my whistle can help get me a foreign beau I’d like to know ;) HA HA!

Olivia, You are probably asking the wrong audience. I am old enough to be your grandfather, and I suspect that the average age of folks on this site would be somewhere around your parent’s ages. There are a few youngsters who post on this site, but not a lot. I would suggest that talking to your peers would be a lot better guide on this topic.

Indeed. The presence of people like Olivia, BlindBard and fiddlelearner have brought the average age down to about 92 🙂

Ah, but you all are much wiser 🙂 This was a purely silly question and I am not actually serious. Mostly I wanted to get some replies to a question so that I had something to look forward to reading. . .

Haha, very funny Jim! :P Lol, but Al has a point. I’m one of those “youngsters” he mentions and I’m a whole 7 years older than you. Speaking of old, I feel old now! Goodness, I started playing music when you were born xP

Well, I’ve been on this site for over 10 years, and just from looking at some member profiles (the ones that aren’t blank), I remember seeing words like ‘grandpa’, ‘grandma’, ‘grumpy’, ‘curmudgeon’ etc … so that kinda gave me a clue 🙂

I enjoy your enthusiasm, Olivia. Gentlemen (somewhat) younger than I, and closer to your age, surely will, too.

Take up the washboard and you’ll have men queueing up. Trouble is, they’d be off out gallivanting with whistle payers as soon as their shirts were clean.

…whistle *players*

I read this post and had to laugh a whee bit.
The average age of session goers is pretty old (I showed up to my session and expected older people. First thing my GF remarked when we got in the car was “wow, they were old”)
Confidence is totally sexy, I would definetly agree. Any person who is confident enough to speak their mind, be honest and hey, playing an instrument can’t hurt, is somebody who is well off.
Romance is an interesting thing, but I wouldn’t give it up for the world 🙂

Back in High School, I was taking guitar lessons from a teacher of mine and basically was one of those “three chord” people, you know the ones :P
I sometimes had girls approach me and compliment my playing and how amazing it was that I could do that while blind.
Nothing really came of this
A year later and with a lot more confidence on the mandolin, I realize that the sexiest thing about people playing an instrument is the way people can let their fingers fly across strings and make it look so easy and produce melodies with such ease and beauty to them.
Confidence is very important.
Best of luck, Olivia.
<insert joke about females blowing on “whistles”>

Uh-oh, BlindBard spittin’ that game! Lol

Fiddlelearner, I was in the archery club at my high school
You’d better watch it, I can be pretty accurate ;P
lol
What’s got you so surprised, though? :P

Hey man, no need for threats lol. I wouldn’t doubt your archery skills, blind people amaze me with their talents and open my mind up to true human possibilities.

“What’s got you so surprised, though? :P”

This site never goes into this dimension of human interaction, and i’m just makin’ fun while it lasts 🙂

haha,
I wasn’t threatening you with an arrow, I thought you were saying that I “spit” in that game, so I was saying I would spit at you.
I might miss, though, that’s been known to happen, quite a lot:P the worst ones are when I shoot and an arrow goes flying off a long ways so we have to go walk and get it.
I’ll PM you later with a story you might find funny and cool at the same time.

Good to know (about the confidence thing, lol) though I never find timidity attractive

Maybe that’s why my last GF broke up with me, I was a very timid person in high school.
She also said something about “Every time you ask me questions I get angry then I feel guilty for feeling angry and this isn’t working”
lol

Haha ok, I see how it is bro. Lol, “spitting game” is a compliment by the way. Where i’m from it means “charming the ladies”, but I think you know that :P You can call me Jerone like everyone else does. I’ll look forward to reading your story later.

Oh, and I know what you mean about sessions drawing in the older crowd. I don’t think i’ve met any lasses within 5 years of my age at sessions. That’s when I knew for sure that I was in love with The Music lol. Normally, a pretty face would’ve kept me coming back, but nope, it was always the craic and the tunes 🙂

Ah, I didn’t know that, Jerone, my appologies. About the spittin’ game.
I’ve got one lady that I am very happy with right now, My charming-ladies-over-the-internet days are done and passed :P

As a fellow “youngster” - yes, whistling is pretty darn attractive. Maybe I’m an oddball, but I like to have someone who bigger priorities than me, and music is, in my opinion, the best priority to have.

Take “whistle playing” out and the answer is yes. Not that playing whistle hurts, but I doubt it helps. If you show up to a session and fill a chair nicely, the lads will buy you a drink, trust me.

ha ha! you know, if I had an aptitude for writing lyrics this would be a funny song

Flute players have the best dimples.

Given your age, you might like this, if you haven’t already heard it. -- I’ve got underpants that are older, but it still brings a lump to my throat.

+1 for flute players… this lovely lady never fails to make me swoon (not intending to detract in any way from her great skill on the instrument!)

That was a very sweet song 🙂 Thanks for sharing

Hi Olivia

I like whistle playing lassies 🙂

I also like flute, pipes and fiddle playing lassies - my favourites are these ones.

I have been listening to them play since they were younger than you

I think lasses work well with non-static instruments. A flute for instance really lends itself well to gracefull movements,a fiddle as well. Singing lasses can be enchanting,and the same counts for the harp.
Anyway, any instrument could work, it’s about the confidence that radiates from a person when playing that makes one attractive.

Only the ones named Olivia.
“You know how to whistle, don’t you? You just put your lips together and blow.”
Or Lauren.

Not if the whistle playing lasses have bad breath and pick their noses in public, Sexual attraction is not entirely about playing musical instruments

Oh, I dunno John, If she could pick her nose without loosing the beat I’may still be attracted.

Oh boy! Don’t worry, fellas, there is no chance of that happening..
Boyen, I could probably learn those other instruments except the singing; all the lads within a hundred mile radius would run as far away from me as they possibly could if I began to sing. Trust me, its horrendous. Everytime I try at home my mother says “NO” and leaves it at that.
And Morgan YYZ, you flatter me 🙂 I’ve only ever blushed from something on the internet if I look at pics of Richard Armitage. :D

“all the lads within a hundred mile radius would run as far away from me as they possibly could if I began to sing. Trust me, its horrendous. Everytime I try at home my mother says ”NO“ and leaves it at that.”

That’s hilarious. I would say I don’t believe you, but I can’t help but to believe you just because I know a few girls that would get the same reactions lol

As for tin whistle and singing, Julie Fowlis. Her tin whistle playing drew me in, but it’s her voice that I fell in love with.

“Sexual attraction is not entirely about playing musical instruments”

Yes it is. Unfortunately, it’s tough to meet a lady that is open and honest about her musicality. I call them closet musicians.

That to bad I have the voice of troll instead of a goddess. . . I guess I can’t have it all (just kidding 🙂 )

Goodness! What a discussion—I was thrown first by trying to understand the word order in the question. Cheeky, and Nate, good ones. I was thinking this all entertaining and hypothetical until I realized that my duo partner (who is also my duo partner) and I met in exactly that way. Though I was not setting out to find a guitarist boyfriend, it did not hurt that we liked playing together.

And Ben, flute is great, but I should probably not mention that my main instrument is . . . clarinet. And, um, bass clarinet.

Oh boy! Don’t worry, fellas, there is no chance of that happening." do u mean u cant pik ure boko wthout missin a beat.

Oh yeah, pipes, definitely learn the pipes!

Maybe in the distant future; along with the bodhran the pipes are among my favorite instruments in Irish music. They look a little cumbersome though….

Cumbersome can be good.

The piper is the best looking of the three.

To some of the earlier posts about some of us being on the more mature side as it were.

I have made a concerted effort to get out and play more despite the demands of the Financial Services Salt Mine and responsibilities to Mother Church.

Observation, definitely not trying to sound like I am leering- Herself is usually sitting close by so I have to be on my best behaviour. A number of younger players are showing up. And while those of us who have been through romance wars may find the question amusing, I suspect to some the OP is quite relevant.

I think whistle might be a narrow instrumental range. Flute might be very attractive. Though I noticed there are a number of very attractive of lady fiddlers of late.

I think I will leave the comment there and return to my meta-state of ascendant old-fartdom 🙂

I suppose that only playing the whistle (or anther instrument) isn’t always enough. . . If a girl could play the whistle like an angel, but had a snaggle tooth and a gargantuan uni-brow, the wistle might not be helping. But that’s petty of me; as long as she has a beautiful soul that shines through, smart lads should notice her (and it’s the smart ones you want).

Men are filthy animals.

Except Gordon Ramsay and Richard Armitage :D

Ramsay? Has a face like a bulldog - IMO of course so no offense I hope - but it’s that voice. Commanding, punchy, great accent. Armitage I can see, but Ramsay just never struck me as a sex god. To each their own though. 🙂

And heck yes, whistle players are lovely creatures. Talent IS undeniably sexy - take it from a guy who’s been playing for four decades. ;)

Gordon Ramsay is the manliest of men! Maybe not a looker, but no girl of sense can resist a man who knows his mind and doesn’t take crap from anybody.

That’s well said Olivia. Knows his own mind, doesn’t take crap - and for you, my wish is one final magical ingredient: a kind,caring loving guy, not a brute. May you be lucky in love! 🙂

Thank you 🙂
