I definitely think women can relate to some of his songs. Maybe I am just a little tomboyish? Even though a lot of his songs are from a male perspective you can easily tweak the lyrics to be suitable for a woman to relate to. Silly as it may sound El Scorcho could be a good example ( I was just listening to it :D). To me the song is him being into a certain type of girl and being nervous to talk to and approach her, and you can see throughout the song it seems he is gaining more confidence. I could easily relate to that if I just change the japanese girl part to lets say a nerdy guy haha.

Even the song, "I Want to be Something" could be relatable to women.

And I'm happy to see someone put some thought into the question, thanks!

Do you other gals really feel like you can relate to most Weezer songs? I think RC definitely writes from a very masculine perspective most of the time (Pinkerton, for all its charms, is really a manifesto of a twenty-something sensitive man). Of course, it doesn't make me enjoy the music/lyrics any less - plenty of men can and do enjoy the work of bands like H*** and Bikini Kill and artists like Bjork. I think Cuomo when he's good is a clever lyricist, but I've just never heard him deliver a line that made me go "yeah! That's EXACTLY how I feel," y'know? I can certainly understand his male perspective, but being a woman, I don't feel as if the lyrics are written just for me.

That's not mean. It's a song written from a woman's viewpoint, sung by Rachel Haden.

Maybe you've just never heard it before...

I don't think gender matters that much...first song I related to was No One Else when I was a jealous little girl....these days I would go with Angel and the One...I think songs that you relate to constantly change
