Why guitars are a lot like girls

For a guitarist, the guitar has become more than just an instrument, it has somewhat become part of their body. However I realized the are a couple of similarities between guitars and girlfriends.
  • When you get them, you felt extremely happy, just like a new girlfriend.
  • A good looking guitar makes you stand out from the others, just like having a pretty lady by your side.
  • You take care of them with the same respect to your girlfriends ( This varies with everyone, depends on how you take care of your stuff).
  • Both delivers maximum satisfaction (maybe not sexual, but pleasure still).
  • Beginners will get sore fingers after done playing them ( Extreme!)
  • You just want to hold them in your hands and never let go.
  • Both requires high level of maintenance ( Guitars need to change strings, oil fretboard, clean pickups, hardware, etc.)
  • Both make a very nice sound when you're playing them ( ha ha you get what I mean)..
  • You often tend to cheat a lot on both of them ( Playing with other people's stuff).
  • Polygamy is very popular ( I myself have 4 'wives')
  • You always find yourself searching for a new one ( gettin bored with the old one).
  • The good ones cost a lot.
  • The rare and unique ones are always sought after.
  • Like a girl, a guitar will nag ( sound bad ) if you don't do the right stuff.
  • And most of all, both of them mean a lot to you. When you've got hold of the right one, you just want to hold tight and never let go.
