Electric guitarists attract more people of the opposite sex.

Bass guitarists get more work.

You choose. You could play both, you know. One of my favourite guitarists, Fred Frith, is also a good bass player. For a few years he had a regular gig as bass player with a jazz-punk band called Naked City. Check out this video of him improvising (on guitar) with a percussionist:

My husband play's bass and loves it.

Play the one you have the most affinity with. If you love rhythm and drums, play bass.
