Musical Talent=Bonus Points?

Does being musically talented gain bonus points with males?

I feel like I get the question, "So are you musically talented?" (with a nonchalant, hopeful voice)

I reply, "Nope. I tried the piano for years. I just feel like I wasn't chosen to be musically talented."

And the thought goes through my mind, "Did I just lose points with him?"

Yes, I know being musically talented is extremely attractive to a person. Oh I know.

I wish with all my heart I had a soft raspy singing voice that I could serenade people with. Yet I know what God gave me, and it was the exact opposite.

 But I want to tell that person,

"Listen, I may not know how to sing or pick up that guitar in the corner and start strumming some Norah Jones song. But I can do many other things such as paint, have heart felt conversations, or even know what shirt goes with which pants. I also am very funny. I can find humor in the darkest situation. I like to watch The Office and watch sports on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Even though I am not musically talented, I love to read works such as AW Tozer and CS Lewis. So before you ride off my attributes, listen to what I can offer first. If you are really looking for that musically talented person, I am willing to lip sing. I will also not wash my hair for a few days so it seems a little greasy grungy. Then I will put some skinny jeans on with a cute knit hat and trendy flats. But please before you take points off the score board, see who I am really am first."

Yet, I don't think I will ever say that out loud.

So if being musically talented earns bonus points, I will not score those. But I have my witty humor to win him over. (i hope.)

However, if I was musically talented, I would want to sing like her:
