A new study published in the Communication Research journal claimed that a woman's devotion to country music diminishes her attractiveness to a potential male mate and a man's interest in country music make him less attractive to women.

最近一个刊登在《交际期刊》的研究声称，一个女人如若喜欢乡村音乐，其在潜在男性伴侣的眼中便会魅力大减，而男人对于乡村音乐的爱好也会让他在女性眼里不那么耀眼。

But devotion to classical music and heavy metal rock has a different effect depending on if you're a man or a woman. Fascination with heavy metal rock greatly enhanced the appeal of men, but it proved detrimental to that of women. Adoration of classical music produced the reverse consequences, according to the study. It also found that men were more strongly attracted to women with whom they shared musical tastes.

但是对于古典音乐和重金属音乐的热衷则会产生不同影响，这要看爱好者是男性还是女性。对重金属的迷恋可极大提升男性魅力，但会对女性魅力造成不利。而研究显示，对古典音乐的崇拜产生的结果则刚好相反。研究还发现男性对于那些和自己音乐品味相同的女性更有兴趣。
