Fellody-Survey: HipHop-Ladies & Rock-Singers have best Chances for a hot Valentines-Date
Zurich/Berlin, 01.02.2012 – If you’re single and you don’t want to spend Valentines-Day alone you better grab a guitar and train your voice: Singers and Guitar-Heroes are voted most sexy band members in a recent fellody-survey with more than 500 participants.
Singers are hot, Keyboarders not
The front man is the sex symbol in every band. Almost every second woman (40%) says that the man on the mic hast he biggest sex appeal, followed by guitar players with 20%. Keyboarders, however, are the biggest turn-off with just one percent of all votes and rank probably close to Lemmy from Motörhead. Also men like strong women on the mic: 37% of all male voters think that female singers are hot and almost 25% prefer a lady on the guitar.
Hip-Hop Ladies rank highest
Music is always a topic to talk about on first dates. But asking about someone’s taste in music isn’t as harmless as we might think: If a woman wants to make a good impression she should officially listen to Hip-Hop/RnB or at least some Indie/Alternative. Both genres got 16% of all male votes for most sexy genre. Punk (5%) and classic (4%) however are the absolute turn-offs. Men can increase their sex appeal by officially listening to Rock & Electro (now that’s a surprise) but also Hip-Hop and Pop-lovers are alright with 15% of all female votes each. But men should avoid naming Scooter or 90s techno if they want a second date.
*Survey-Details: The survey was running for four weeks from mid-December 2011 to mid-January 2012. Fellody asked members and Facebook fans to participate and 526 men and women took part in the survey.
Good idea for a project! First, you shulod ask how the person would best describe their taste in music and list of bunch of genres. Once you’ve got that out of the way, you can move on to the personality questions. For example:1. Would you consider yourself politically active (one would suspect that those who listen to Rap or Underground hippie songs would say yes)2. Are you an attentive student who gets high grades? (Because previous studies have linked smartness to listening to classical music).3. Are you interested in fashion? (Because so many pop music artists have started fashion lines)4. Have you ever been bullied, or have you bullied anyone else (this would be a good question to find out if those who listen to screamo or angry music are in fact angrier and more aggressive. Or if those who are bullied listen to softer types of music, like easy listening or humour music like the Arrogant Worms or Weird Al. I don’t think that’s the case, but I haven’t done the research). You might be able to conclude from your studies that the more musical genres one listens to, the broader their personality, whereas someone who only listens to one type of music has a very distinct personality. That’s what I would hypothesize anyway. I hope my suggestions were helpful. Good luck with this excellent project!
Hi Karen, thanks for your excellent input. We’ll keep it in mind for our next survey! Thanks a lot.
