I think you are drawing conclusions where there are none. Perchance you
don't know the right girls. Or perhaps you do, but they don't go crazy
about telling you about their IDM leanings?
Girls are generally less anally retentive, detailed and autistic than your
average hunter gathering man-child and hence are less inclined to get
obsessive about the maintenance of a record collection or telling other
people about it ("look how much stuff I've got and how hard it was to find
and how weird it is and how cool I am wank wank wank.."). That is a crass
generalisation, obviously. There are equally many boys out there who like
fun commercial music and don't really care about letting others know about
it.
The girls I know who incline towards obscurer IDM-leaned stuff like what
they like, but aren't going to go crazy buying records that AE might have
touched once off e-bay just to make themselves feel special. That might be
the distinction you are noticing.

I should imagine if I had tits I would find that quite insulting.
My girlfriend introduced me to BOC many moons ago, so there. And no; she
didn't get into it through a previous boyfriend.
Tara,
