Some have speculated that the dearth of women audiophiles is an evolutionary adaptation , from back when leaving the group to go hunting involved risk, so men went , as a way to give the family unit the best chance at survival.
gradually evolution gave those with hearing that was better adapted to hunting , the evolutionary advantage. So males have evolved an unconscious mind to have more interest in sound.
Of course, this theory had to have been thought up by an audiophile, so who knows. maybe women just find it boring, as some musicians do.
All I know is that I find women with any interests that parallel mine, extremely interesting. and that goes for all the other ones too.
