Some ppl should not be allowed to research...

This suggests that guitarists who devote more time to playing chords are more motivated towards casual sex.

🤦

However, when the researchers conducted a multiple regression analysis to see if guitar-practicing habits could predict the number of lifetime sexual partners, the overall model did not show a significant result.

🤦🤦

The findings highlight a potential distinction between mating motivation and actual mating success.

🤦🤦🤦

This discrepancy suggests that while guitar skills might enhance a musician’s mating motivation, they don’t always lead to greater mating success

🤦🤦🤦🤦

They suggest that in the specific context of extreme metal music, guitar playing might be more about asserting dominance and status among male peers, rather than directly influencing mating success.
