To dismiss a guy pursuing me, because he likes metal music?

A nice guy is pursuing me. I don't know him much yet, but he is nice so far.

Something that is making me have 2nd thoughts though... Is that he loves metal music.

I frigging hate metal music.

I like pop, rock, reggae, soul, house, disco, grunge, classical.... Anything but metal. I cant bear to listen to even 30 seconds of metal. To me, it sounds totally demonic. I cannot comprehend why someone would want to listen to that.

I spend a large portion of every day with music playing.

This guy says he listens to metal 80% of the time.

I'd love to meet someone who I can really vibe and dance with, and just enjoy listening to the same music together.

AIBU to dismiss a guy for his music tastes? Even if he is a nice guy, respectful, handsome, very sporty/muscly...?

Is that ALL he listens to? Would he listen to stuff you (both) like when you’re together?

Just because he loves metal doesn’t mean he doesn’t like other genres. He will still dance around your kitchen with you 🙄

Very weird. I love metal, rock and alternative. Dh doesn’t. Funnily enough, we haven’t let music tastes come between us. He listens to his shit when he’s alone, and I listen to my stuff when I’m alone

Tbf I would dismiss anyone who plays music for 80% of the time. It would royally do my head in.

You can not date anyone for any reason you want.

Know what you mean but def give him a chance imo if you like him - and talk to him about it (humorously)

You'd be mad to give someone up because of their music taste. Most people into metal are very cool.🤘

You can dismiss a romantic relationship for any reason you like. Any.

Thinking any music is ‘demonic’ is a bit weird.
I do think musical compatibility can be important though.

Yes that would be a weird thing to dismiss someone for.
