Q: What does a guy’s choice of music say about him?
Few things provide deeper insight into a guy than his choice in music. The tunes he listens to reflect his emotions, so if you really want to know what a guy is thinking and feeling, sneak a peek at his iPod. If one of the following genres dominates, here’s what it probably says about him:
Rap/R&B: Does Lil Wayne saturate his playlist? If so, this guy wants to be on the cutting edge of cool and emulates his rap role models to achieve this goal.. Even if his pants don’t sag past his knees – as they likely did in high school – he may play it a bit too cool in romantic situations. If he seems indifferent to your advances, don’t be dissuaded. Just serenade him with some Bruno Mars and he’ll let down his guard in no time. Once his hard exterior melts away, you’ll likely find he’s a sentimental poet at heart.
Rock: This laid back, borderline hipster may come across as chill and quiet, but he loves to have fun. He probably idolizes Mick Jagger, and may think he’s his second coming, so don’t question his musicality. The rocker may also be hard to read, but find your way into his heart and he’ll probably write you a poignant love song (acoustic, of course).

Post-hardcore: If a guy’s music library is filled with screams, screams, and more screams, you’ve got yourself a post-hardcore fanatic. This guy may or may not be disturbed, but either way he wants you to think he is. He may even be in a screamo band himself, and likely calls himself a musician. If so, be sure to humor him with compliments, no matter how poorly he keeps a beat on the desk with his pencil during class. The post-hardcore dude is an emotional guy, so insulting him in any way may send him spiraling into a depression. His only available remedy may then be writing a scathing hate song – about you.
Country: The guy who blares Toby Keith out the window of his pickup truck – yes, he always drives a pickup truck, usually draped in an American flag or two – loves his country as much as he loves his red solo cup.. A country guy is modest and loyal– he’ll be as devoted to you as he is to the red, white, and blue. However, this guy can be as polarizing as his music, so if you don’t consider yourself a country girl, this probably isn’t the guy for you.
Classical: Far from the stereotype of a geeky loner who can’t find a date, the classical connoisseur is intelligent, smooth, and has an uncanny way with words; he will likely write you the most heart-melting love notes you’ll ever receive. This baby Beethoven is unafraid to broadcast his emotions, but be careful not to toy with them as they are probably quite fragile. This guy is also at risk of being elitist, so if you can’t tell Boccherini from Brahms, don’t be surprised when you receive a condescending scowl followed by a 20-minute lecture on the baroque and romantic eras. Be sure to take notes. He may quiz you when he’s finished.
