lots of knowledge, but no girlfriend! 
What amplifier technology impresses girls most? 😕
Should I build a small and sneaky chipamp?
Or should I build a large, totally male, discrete design with large transformers and huge heatsinks?
Or maybe should I go for mysterious glowing tubes, they have a certain phallic quality though?!
What are you experiences?
Regards
edit: I'm sorry for the mistyping in the poll

When I got my souvenir t-shirt at European Triode Festival, I referred to it as a contraceptive. "Wear this and I'm never gettin' laid."
Forget amplifiers, work on your charm.

That's discouraging, I'll ignore that!Forget amplifiers, work on your charm.

Uhh, girls don't like amplifiers. Have you ever heard the phrase "sausage fest"? It applies here....
never heard that phrase...do you suggest that building amplifiers is somewhat homohomo...can't pronounce that, it can't be!

Wow the girls I dated and the one I married (been married for 26 years shortly) love my audio system 🙂 She buys more music than me sometimes 🙂 Maybe they liked something else more, but they never let on..........
You forgot the forth (most common here) choice:
> Laying in pieces on the dining room table work-in-progress amp.
It doesn't get any sexier than that.

I'm with SY - work on your charm. Then when you're smooth as the devil you can buy a kit amp and get her to build it for you.

Of course it does. A 289 4-barrel.

Now now, let's not let the thread degenerate into sensual fantasies
I'll vote for tubes! For the same reasons that soft, seductive music and candles invokes a softening of their hearts and and heightens passion. I assume that the glow of tubes awakens an avatistic memory of the security of the cave and the presence of a protector in the form of a man.
I really don't care why, as long as it works... (and someday it may!)

A good hybrid digital. For best results, minimize the idle power usage and maximize the power-to-size and/or power-to-weight ratios, as well as the efficiency. Making it look nice and/or interesting helps as well. Then point out its advantages such as how much energy it saves.
I can tell you from experience that I was a firm believer in pure digital until a friend of mine presented his TI Hybrid Digital amplifier to me. (See Amanda Harris: the Prius of home audio - EcoRenovator for details about it.) I am now best friends with him and I now believe that hybrid digital is the future.

My trick was hooking a tube amp up to the TV. A week later I took it off and she had to listen to her programs through an $0.85 TV speaker again.
I was instructed to "Put that amp back, right now!" 😀
Be sneaky and you can go big and glowy 😉
Cheers!

Girls are so curious! They cannot resist to grab the funny glowing gizmo with their tiny little fingers. Probably some archaic instinct. 😉
A good opportunity for the gentleman to show understanding and to patch up the fairy with burn ointment or so. Just the full spectrum of pre-intercourse social behaviour, you know? 😀

Now when you are out dating, do you say to yourself:"Gee, Zelda's got that incredible Louis Vuitton purse, with the burgundy lining and sapphire trim! I MUST spend some more time with her! And wow, when she teams it with the Lacroix belt - Gadzooks!"
She's thinking the same about your amplifier.

Just go ahead and build your hairy chested Schwartzenegger amplifier and stop being a procrastinating DIY girlie man.
Women are hardwired to be mysterious, so they often pretend to be disinterested in the things that really tickle their buttons. When they complain about a manly audio system that takes up two thrids of the living room, don’t believe it.
What you need to pull the chicks (besides a Barry White album) is a big, beast of an amplifier that rattles, hums, draws down the mains voltage enough to dim the lights, and that necessarily makes a definite statement about you – that beneath the geeky exterior you’re a virile macho man with big hairy balls just ready to explode.

Sounds reasonable. Jürgen, you better take the BIG bottles then! 😎
