Me: You taught yourself to play guitar?
A: In college. I wanted to impress girls.
Me: Ah. You had an ulterior motive.
A: Not really.
Me: But you learned guitar specifically to impress girls.
A: In college, “wanting to impress girls” is the primary motive for learning guitar. An example of an ulterior motive would be, “and I thought I’d enjoy playing guitar”.
So tuba players certainly wouldn’t have an ulterior motive and to be honest, the primary motive is pretty darn elusive too.

…Also disturbingly true.
