SarahRose Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Fancy cars attract attention. There is nothing new about it. People who say they aren't impressed by a fancy car are just lying. Whenever I go out, a lot of people stare and look at my car. People come up and say Oh I like your car. blah blah etc.
D-Lish Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 under 15,000 miles. 325i Black with Tan interiors and a window tint that pushes the boundaries of legal. I kinda looked like a British drug dealer. (((D shakes head))))

Whenever I go out, a lot of people stare and look at my car. People come up and say Oh I like your car. blah blah etc. Thats quite true I thought I saw a guy taking pics too and to be honest the women seam more interested in the car itself and taking a few snap shots then trying to hook up with the "rich guy" Granted they do talk to him at the end but honestly whos going to sit on some ones car like that with out saying hi...
Feelin Frisky Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 He wasn't upset because the car was most likely rented and not even his.. Most of them are... Even the rich just rent them. She wasn't sitting on his car. She was the car's hood ornament.
Citizen Erased Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 No, he bores you with Sports talk:laugh: j/K So guys that are into cars bore you and it's turn off?.... sigh then. I"M A GEAR HEAD AND PROUD OF IT SO :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p AND:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p Yeah. Exactly how far with women has that gotten you? BIG difference between having a nice car/knowing your way around one and having nothing else to talk about.
carhill Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Last week I exited the post office to find a lady, appearing to be in her late 60's to early 70's, peering in the window of one of my vintage vehicles. She commented on the car with the dialect of someone who knows cars (beyond 'specs'). I thanked her and went on my way. I found her comment to be nice. I guess there is hope. IME, having been a bona-fide enthusiast for over 30 years, a nice car will augment the attraction a woman otherwise has for a man. The attraction starts with the man himself. If the woman doesn't find the man attractive, his car will do little to help his fate in that regard. This presumes the woman is healthy. If I'm fortunate next year, I'll get to experience the 100th anniversary of the greatest spectacle in racing with the widow of one of its well respected drivers. I'll get to rub shoulders with a lot of women (and men) for whom such pursuits are passion and business and life. I'll get an opportunity to gauge the effects of the nice cars the *women* are driving on how attractive I find them. I'm looking forward to that, and to meeting A.J. Foyt.
stace79 Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 That is such a stupid video. 1. Those women weren't even that attractive. 2. I wouldn't dream of sitting my fat butt (and those girls were hefty) on some guy's car unless I asked. 3. If I was the driver of that car, I'd have put it in reverse and backed up and let them fall flat on the ground. 4. I've dated guys who drove a nice Mercedes, Porsche and Lexus, and sorry but the car wasn't enough to keep me around. (Or the six figure salary.)
JadedHeart Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Only read the first few posts but I do have to agree with my man woggle. Women have great intentions, but bad results. Okay not bad... but just incredulously awful!!! I hardly make generalizations but this is one that is an absolute truth. Anyone read that book Blink my Malcom Gladwell?? It's a book about rapid cognition. For instance you see someone you like, yet you don't know why, or can't explain it. An interesting little experiment had been made at a meet and greet event. All the ladies were asked to write down what they thought they wanted in a man, for instance most of them would say tall, dark and handsome. At the end of the night hardly any of the women went for what they said they wanted. From what I've learned besides that female advice is detrimental, is the nicer you are the more respect they lose. It's all about attraction, ask a women what she is attracted to and they'll tell you. This is good "advice." Remember, when you ask them what they want or advice on a specific situation... You're only shooting yourself in the foot. Okay now on to the topic, nice cars and women. Sporty and luxurious cars are attractive to most people. (Notice the non-generalization) Why else would people gravitate towards them. Nice cars are an asset in a dating sense. It can only help and not hurt you. This is a prime example when women on this thread say they're not attracted to nice cars. They say this, so you continue to drive your beat up economy car. What if a guy took you on a date to a classy joint where valet parking was mandatory, would you still feel the same? I think women base their "opinions" on how they want to be perceived. I'm not shallow so I'll say the nice car effect doesn't phase me. There's nothing wrong with this.. Nice cars are attractive to both women and men. Next thread should be called, "Nice house effect on women." If we could have sex in a cardboard box, screw the house we'd all be living in cardboard boxes.
EasyHeart Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 It's all relative. I recently dated a woman who told me that I have a really nice car (it's a new Audi, so it is very nice!). So I asked her what she liked about it. She said, "It doesn't have any rust holes in it."
tincanman99 Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I am a car enthusiast and have always been one since I was a kid. I just like cars. Been a VW guy since I was like 19 (that includes Audi's and Porsches as well). That being said I have a mint condition 20 year old Golf GTI and a pretty new Audi. I dont like cars because of women, I like cars because they are cars. On one of the Porsche forums I frequent the forum who is mostly populated with guys openly said that Porsches did nothing for women. They generally dont care. I used to like to use the VW test on women - it goes like this. If I pick you up in the 20 year old GTI and you go ewww thats a gross little car you are finished right than and there. If on the other hand you go - cute car. You are a keeper . It hasnt failed yet except when I have ignored it. Why would I want someone that is so materialistic? Never mind that I have a new Audi at home in the garage too. That is besides the point. Here is the reality, a nice car is a nice car but it wont change the fact that you are piece of garbage with zero personality. I used to work on Wall Street and saw lots of guys making serious coin. All these guys at the personalities of a cockroach. If thats what you want, than so be it. But a pig with lipstick is still a pig .
phineas Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I know a woman that admitted to me she got turned on by muscle cars. new or old as long as they had big engines. she sounds like she knows more about cars than I do. not fixing them, but what goes into them to make them the way she likes them. Too bad I drive a 6 cyl. sedan. I also dated a girl that got turned on by big vehicles like army trucks & such. First & only time I got lucky in the cab of a dump truck.
Pyro Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Here is the reality, a nice car is a nice car but it wont change the fact that you are piece of garbage with zero personality. There you go. A nice car at most will get a woman to talk to you. The rest is up to you the individual.
Author Woggle Posted July 27, 2010 Author Posted July 27, 2010 Pieces of garbage with charm are at the top of the food chain in the dating world.
Pyro Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Pieces of garbage with charm are at the top of the food chain in the dating world. no they're not. I'm not garbage.
Author Woggle Posted July 27, 2010 Author Posted July 27, 2010 no they're not. I'm not garbage. Look at how much drama you had to go through to get to where you are. This works with both genders as well. I see physically attractive women who are horrible people getting tons of attention from men.

Those people are idiots who only want to be with someone based on their wealth and looks.
hopesndreams Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 This is an interesting video. I love how that woman parked her big fat arse on the hood.
Untouchable_Fire Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I love how that woman parked her big fat arse on the hood. I kinda thought she had a nice butt. Of course if she sat on my $100,000 I would have a different opinion. Hehe... he probably got her number so he could bill her for any scratches or dents.
hopesndreams Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 The woman in the white jeans? Her a** was huge!! Kinda like JLO's. lol Regardless, that a** had no class.

Well... maybe that's too much for other guys... but I know exactly what to do with that kind of a**. and, no class is just the way I like'em... (meaning no longer in school)
WintersNightTraveler Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 You don't even need a car this nice to watch the effect a car has on women. Seriously nice bmw or mercedes would get women wet to. Don't believe women when they tell you they could care less about a man who can afford nice things. Lol what a weird thread. Cars aren't a big deal with women unless you're 16 or something. I'm returning my leased fancy expensive sports car in two weeks. After 3 years I can confidently conclude that you should buy such cars for yourself, not for what effect it (won't) have on women. And that's just fine, really. In fact it's better that way, if you really like to drive. If easy tail is really what you want, you're better off spending that big monthly car payment on nice dinner dates and limo service afterwards because you're both sloppy from the expensive wine.

The kind of woman that is attracted to an expensive car will lose interest as soon as she finds out that all the money the dude has goes to maintaining the car. Any woman that chases a guy because his car is expensive will hope to find nice digs, presents, and a work-free liftestyle to go along with the package.

How often does the first impression an adult man makes on a potential date happen while he's in his car, or his car is visible? Or even second, third, impressions. Maybe if he picks her up for a date, but usually the first date is a meetup, not a pickup. By the time the impression is formed, the car isn't even in the picture. So at best it's icing on a cake. Also, if you have that kind of car, you probably are not strapped for cash in terms of maintaining it or buying nice digs and presents. Buy a fast car to enjoy it, not to show it off or due to some misguided panty dropped notion.

I think they're lying/bragging/exaggerating/whatever. And my car is probably nicer than theirs. This place is filled with cynical men who live to prove that women are just money grubbing succubi. Of course, I could just suck at using my fancy wheels as a pick up trick. 3 years of easy sex I didn't even know I could have been having, right down the tubes. Who knows. EDIT Or they're 16, I'm sure its a huge deal before you can vote but I was a subway child and know nothing of this.
