Friendly Advice Tip #5

Musicans, as a rule, are not nicer, smarter, or more interesting people. Hip musicians may not even be nicer, smarter, or more interesting people than other musicians. Moreover, dating a musician does not make you nicer, smarter, or more interesting. It just makes you arm candy. I don’t care how much feminist rhetoric* you have memorized, dating and/or fucking musicians exclusively is groupie behavior. And the more famous he is, the more of a groupie you’ll become. If you want celebrity, go for it on your own terms, don’t coattail it, because dangling from an arm at the VIP lounge is not all it’s cracked up to be, and by the time you figure that out, it’s possible the rest of us will have stopped taking you seriously at all.

*It stands to reason that this sort of behavior is not limited to heterosexual women, and musical jackassery is not limited to men. But I don't hear a lot of bitching from men dating female musicians, or women dating female musicians, so deal with the bias.
