Why do you think there are so many Men that love the music of the Carpenters? I know we have a mixture of both men and women that post here but I would venture to say that most people that post seem to be men. Ladies..this is not a men's only topic so feel free to chime in as well.
I've noticed it not only on this forum but others as well that most seem to be men that post about their music. Do you think there are still guys today that might be afraid to let their friends know that they love the Carpenters but find it easier to post about it on a forum?
I know for me growing up there was still a negative placed against you if you told your friends or people in school or work that you love the Carpenters...some might say..the who? who are they? or you like the Carpenters and then laugh. Of course that stuff doesn't bother me now but back then there was a lot of negative connotations about being a guy and loving the music of Karen and Richard. Do you think there are more men that purchase their music than say women or probably the same?
I'd like to hear your thoughts...
