@gm0nkx You know this is kind of a great topic. There are a bunch of reasons I can think of that have probably already been mentioned, but I will give an example as to how stupid the mindset of most of us men is.
I started playing guitar when I was maybe 13 years old. I played in bands in high school in college and I toured after college for a few years. I have continued to be in dad band over the years. In short, at 54, I have been playing guitar for about 40 years, some of it professionally. I e been BUILDING guitars for years also.
I recently started taking guitar lessons for the first time in my life. It turns out, there is a lot more about the guitar that I did not know than I did know. For me, the mindset is very similar to exercise. I need to work my brain. I need to forge new pathways in my body, or at least maintain some of the ones that I have. Having a scheduled lesson every week makes me show up and it makes me commit before the lesson to do whatever I was supposed to do after the last lesson.
The improvement has been remarkable.
Even knowing all of this, I would almost never consider joining the type of group that you teach, I have a weight rack in my house and I’ve been exercising forever.
In short, I am still an idiot.
