Sadly, often of the same polarity of wench.
Back when I was younger, I used get nice women interested. Now, not even the wenches are interested.
Carter D10 8p/7k, Dekley S10 3p/4k C6 setup, Regal RD40 Dobro (D tuning), Recording King Professional Dobro (G tuning), NV400, NV112, Ibanez Gio guitar, Epiphone SG Special (open G slide and regular G tuning guitar) .
Some are still intrigued as to what instrument I'm playing. A well dressed expensive looking woman came up to me at a show and asked "Is that some type of Piano??" ...I replied "Well....it has strings"

Sure, it's a magnet for wenches. Wenches who are disguised as attractive women. When the attraction becomes mutual the wenches lose their disguise. This applies only to wenches, not to true women, who are pure of heart. I am blessed to be with the real deal, and never let her forget how I feel.

Also used to be called gams. Especially in the cheap paperback detective novels.
