Why do girls like Photography exhibitions?

Post Reply New Topic

And how do you talk about such exhibition with a girl?

Here's the sort of chat up line you should use:

"Hey there, tits! I have a really good camera. Fancy stripping naked in my bedroom? Oh, and by the way, there's no memory card in there."

For the same reason "boys" like them- art is interesting.

Photo exhibits are pleasant (for me, anyway). They're usually presented in a quiet setting; they are snapshots of other people's lives; you can stare at the same photo for minutes at a time and not be accused of stalking; and the photos do not seem to change their contents and themes from one exhibit to the next. This could explain why I've met more people with Aspie-like behavior at such venues than at the local shopping mall.

The good thing about exhibitions is that you are not expected to talk much. It is like watching paintings. It is a very personal experience, so you just walk from picture to picture trying to get what the photographer is trying to tell to, or just trying to perceive what the photography makes you feel. If you or the person who is with you want to talk, you usually talk about the piece and what you think or feel about it. You dont need to "know" much, just to be able to "feel".

I'm curious, OldFashioned, what medium do you work in? You mention that you are starting art school... (I'm guessing you're not a photographer.)

As others have replied already, it's not a "girl" thing to like photography, but it would be a good idea for a date with an art school girl. The best way to talk about it, if you don't know much about photography, is to keep your comments short and positive ("I like this one. I really like the way it's _______") Ask her what she thinks about it, then LISTEN to her answer.

I like photography exhibitions... i like any art exhibition... but i HATE the cinemas AND television... hmmmmmmmmm

How do you talk about such exhibitions with a girl? I guess you would discuss how you each interpret the art in your own minds and what kind of feelings follow... i would think so anyway...
