I just wanted to post because I think I have a pretty unique perspective on a few things that the community here might be interested in, and a word of warning as to why men shouldn't be getting their validation from the attention of women.

I'm a fairly well known musician and have been for literally all of my adult life. No, I DEFINITELY won't disclose who I am but I am known enough to have done successful AMA's on Reddit and this is the only job I've ever had. I also constantly tour around the world in a tour bus.

The tour bus is a beautiful thing, it's a cultural icon and also from a practical standpoint very comfortable. One thing that many of you have probably only heard stories about and never experienced first hand, however, is the way that women react to a tour bus.

In the larger cities, the attraction is what you would expect and works basically like wearing a giant SMV billboard on your head. If you have your shit together it can be pretty cool and you'll meet some fun chicks who are down for a quick fling. However, the second you start to get out into middle America (or equally desolate parts of Europe), shit starts to get reaaaaaaaaally shady. Out come the harpys (or slags if you're in the UK.

There are literally women who go out to every concert in their hometown. They are the hottest thing their tiny village has to offer but have no means of getting anywhere because of that. As they get older they reach the point of realizing that this is going to be their life forever, unless they get rescued by some rock and roller who's swinging though town on the bus. They get as dolled up as they can and then wait outside the venue. It doesn't matter what band is playing, and if you ask them about it they can only vaguely act like they care or have any idea what's going on. This is because their singular goal is to hook up with one of the band members.

So what makes them different from the big city girls? The motivation is much more sinister. Instead of wanting a night of fun, these women are literally trying to get pregnant. They will do anything they can to be swept up and carried out of bum fuck nowhere, and the way they do that is taking the seed of the first unlucky rocker they can and then calling them a few months later with the news. They are desperate. (We literally have to double check the locks because they chicks will just sneak onto the bus and hide in your bunk.)

Anyway, a word of warning to any fellow traveling artists out there, and just anyone else in general. Be careful, there are harpys everywhere.
