Does an artist appeal to you as a good partner?

Question

Why or why not?

Answer 1

As long as she meets my standards of what I want, I'm not concerned of her profession.

Answer 2

Being an artist or of any other creative profession takes the ability to see things in varying perspectives and from different angles. I find artistic men are much more self-aware, not to mention more intelligent. They can see the world in a more liberal way than the guy who sits in front of the tv eating cheeseballs and not thinking about the world and life.

However, I am not at all saying that artists don't like cheeseballs.

Answer 3

No. Artists are poor. I'm not unicef. They better have a job that makes money to help pay the bills.

Answer 4

As long as he had a sense of reality along with his creative talent then certainly.

My husband is quite artistic, but not a whiny emotional baby like a lot of stereotypical "artists".

Answer 5

no. most artists i come across are pretencious, think its cool to ba all liberal and think their sh*t dont stink.

Answer 6

yes of course,for her being artistic and probably creative as well,that great quality's to have on top of all hear other quality's of who she is...

Answer 7

Not really. I am an artist, but I think I would kill my husband if he was one too. Our house would probably be so colorful that it would give people headaches.

Answer 8

As it is currently the career I am choosing to pursue I would suppose so yes, as we'd have a lot in common. However, I often feel I would not like to date myself, I feel I am too neurotic, and if I were someone else, may find myself annoying, therefore for me I think I'd maube look for someone the opposite of myself. I don't know, I think it'd depend on the individual artist I suppose, I sure wouldn't like to be with Picasso (bit of a player) or Van Gogh (suicide :'( ).

Answer 9

id give it another go as long as she's not Piscean and is supporting herself.

Answer 10

yes and no...hubby is very much an artist at heart and lived the whole starving artist life style for a long time.  

Hard to get serious about a long term relationship...with this life style.

Edit: he got me into stained glass work...we have made a good bit of money selling those.  So there are ways to be an artist and not literally starve to death.

Answer 11

No thanks.  I would like a partner grounded in the real world and, unfortunately, all the artists I've encountered in my lifetime have been anything but...

Answer 12

very much so. i find they are usually more aware and sensitive, much more in common with me than other "types". i think "great minds think alike" more than "opposites attract". i would enjoy another artistic vision to enhance and inspire me. money is fluid anyway, whether or not either of us found "success" in this realm.

Answer 13

No. I'm creatively-minded myself (I'm a writer) and I need a partner who's highly organised and decisive, and so can complement the flakier parts of my own personality :)

Answer 14

yes-entirely perfect match to myself ,as I am an artist,and I believe much could be gained in all areas.

Answer 15

Yes, why not?  Artists are usually sensitive, caring people.

They can work from home - teaching.

Answer 16

yes... it makes things interesting when your partner is inventive.

Answer 17

Not particularly so or particularly not.
