Unless you're a teenage boy. Then the primary benefit of playing the instrument is the attention of teenage girls.

I started playing the guitar when I was sixteen. My good friend from high school who knew the start of a single ballad but otherwise couldn't play got waaay more attention.

Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that I was a proper nerd and he was built like a greek god.
