Why the Dire Straits hate?

I'm a DS fan, have been for a long long time. I enjoy the raw guitar sound of Knopfler with both their slow and faster songs.Im not a die hard fan, my favourite band is U2. However the one thing I have noticed is that every female I have spoken to hates DS and their music. Every single one. So my question to the females out there -what is it about DS music that you dislike? I'm very interested to know.

Hang on

Not every single one. I happen to love them. I grew up with their lps. My dad played them a lot. I never got into them back them. I started playing guitar two years ago and put the albums on. He is an inspiration to me.

He is one of my fave guitarists
