Does a girlfriend / wife hinder your creative output?

I have seen it many times now. As soon as people start having a girl / wife their creative flow is coming to hold. best example richard. but you can see it on this forum too. agreed? not agreed?

yes. "why are you ignoring me"

agreed. seen it more than a few times. relationships are deadly.

Yeah well they just take up a whole lot of time so stuff that you do in those empty evenings just gets dropped, fucking bitches

yes absolutely they do. even if they're really cool with you spending hours making tracks, then you start to feel guilty that they're being so understanding and your paying them no attention or whatever. well, that's what happens to me anyway.

eh, we don't live together so it's ok, i get some time to write stuff by myself. but we're also working on some stuff together so all is good!

now you know where ludd is

Find a girl who's into good music and it won't. :)

SOMEDAY!

...!

:(

i find that someone getting angry at me for getting sucked into making music increases my creative output but i'm a weirdo sooooo

also thread title is sexistttt

and homophobic too (i do not actually care)

depends on how you define creative. If painting in semen counts, then no.

most definitely, but not as much as spending most of my waking hours at a workplace I dislike.

Yes. But not anymore.

I hinder anything from happening in my life...

well, Richard? lol

i kid, i wish only the best.

the backend of a relationship put me out. i couldn't do shit. now i've got my distance and im back in the countryside, everything is creative again

yes

It feels that way until you grow up and realize that a true partnership is about sharing life and creative pursuits together (even if they're not the same creative pursuits). If you can only see your wife/gf as a hindrance to your self-expression, you're just stuck in self-centered adolescence.

Oh yeah -- flame on brutha!!!

NB: Not to say that everyone ought to get into a life-partnership with someone. Some people just are driven, individualistic, creative individuals who rule over huge, successful businesses or drop the best albums or paintings onto the scene. But I don't think those people make the best lovers or parents.

Well, just look at WATMM

girls are just one of the many benefits the rockstar idm lifestyle brings so once you get used to it you can just pump up the volume and wail on that keytar all night and theres nothing the floozies or your mom can do about it except beat on your basement door demanding to be let in/out

lolz

but yeh its absolutely true that the more obligations and distractions you have the harder it is to get creative work done/to fully act on and fully fabricate on an idea as soon as you have it/to feel the discontent ambition to push the envelope.

No. not if she's the right sort of gal. but otherwise, if the relationship (she) fucks with things too much, it's not worth it for sex and cuddles.

that's why all the good people of the world should all meet up for a big party and all do a bunch of drugs at exactly the same time, rave all night and day for a week and never go back to work again! all at once. the government wouldn't be able to do jack shit. except nuke us all, maybe. lol

It's only a hindrance if you lack discipline. If you can make a time to work every day, you'll produce tons of shit and have time to cap it off w DA BEEJ!

it is often said that a life of pain and suffering is more conducive with creativity. so if you're in a shit marriage you're laughing.

lol
