Never worked for me. Then again, becoming a wannabe "world-class" classical guitarist never worked for me either. Owning my own rental property business hasn't worked either. My guess is it's a personality/personal appearance thing. When I was young and skinny and in good shape, women didn't care that I was strange OR that I was one of the better guitarists around. Now that I'm older, fat, out of shape, etc., personality becomes much more important. Either that, or my taste has improved drastically in the past decade or so and I've stopped trying to impress women who fail to impress me. YMMV.
