Marek Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Yesterday, when I was in the city, I saw a good-looking dude, in his mid-30s, getting into a Ferrari 599 GTO. Some will say girls will like him for superficial reasons (i.e. money). But aren't we ALL shallow. Guys are shallow, they want a hot chick to flaunt and sex, so it's really no different. This dude with the Ferrari, as I mentioned, was probably a 7/10. Dude must be reeling in the girls. Admit it girls: you would date a dude like this purely out of materialistic desires.
Emilia Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Don't blame your lack of success with women on circumstances you can't control. 4
Toodaloo Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Admit it girls: you would date a dude like this purely out of materialistic desires. Nope. In my opinion he has BAD taste in cars. He may as well have been driving a lotus. Italians are lovers not engineers... Now if he had been getting into a Bentley Continental GT or Jaguar (anything) I may have taken a second look or even smacked on some lip gloss. If he had been driving a clapped out old Landrover or a battered old estate with real mud splattered up the side and a few dog hairs on the seats I would be all over that man like a rash! 5
PegNosePete Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Girls? I would date a dude with a Ferrari 599 GTO. 2
Toodaloo Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Girls? I would date a dude with a Ferrari 599 GTO. Really PegNose???? (I will introduce you to a few so I can earn my riches from the resulting film) Ferraris are terrible for breaking down, their drivers tend to be rude, ignorant and so far up their own bottoms that you can't tell one end from the other! There is just no positive to this at all... Oh and they are a b7tch to park. Years ago when I was young and utterly stunning I had a clapped out old fiesta held together with rust and baler twine... I was stopped at a roundabout next to a guy in a Ferrari... I thought I would have a giggle so revved my tiny 900cc engine and stared him in the eye... Sure enough he took the bait and as I tootled on round he stalled Pillock. I am afraid that I have never been impressed by cars like that and doubt I ever will be. No refinement, no class and no personality. All brash... Its like saying you want to marry Jordan... Ask any of her ex husbands and I am sure they will agree its a mistake... Same principles...
Els Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Errr, no. A Ferrari means nothing to me, and plenty of people have flashy cars and are deeply in debt, so it doesn't even necessarily imply financial stability.
Lernaean_Hydra Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Admit it girls: you would date a dude like this purely out of materialistic desires. Why yes, of course I'd date him. A rich, handsome guy who drove a Ferrari? I'd leave my boyfriend or even my husband for a man like him just because he's hot with a nice car. Looks, money and status are the absolute only things that matter to me. There now, does that make you feel better? 1
ComingInHot Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Is he nice..? I would gladly date (how is the rating scale again? ) a 5/6 if he was nice too, and maybe had a jeep. This guys Ferrari wouldn't last 2 minutes here in November *lol* 1
Author Marek Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Errr, no. A Ferrari means nothing to me, and plenty of people have flashy cars and are deeply in debt, so it doesn't even necessarily imply financial stability. I don't know many super-car owners who are financially unstable. If you can buy a Ferrari, Lambo, etc. You can afford the crazy insurance premiums and what not. How tall was he? About 5'10. Why yes, of course I'd date him. A rich, handsome guy who drove a Ferrari? I'd leave my boyfriend or even my husband for a man like him just because he's hot with a nice car. Looks, money and status are the absolute only things that matter to me. There now, does that make you feel better? You're exaggerating a bit here. Of course you would not drop you current BF or husband for him(but many others would). However, if you were single, in his age bracket, I think you would. He was like a 7/10. Is he nice..? I would gladly date (how is the rating scale again? ) a 5/6 if he was nice too, and maybe had a jeep. This guys Ferrari wouldn't last 2 minutes here in November *lol* Would you date a rich due who happens to be an a-hole? (Not saying this guy is; I don't even know him.)
HeartbrokenNewbie Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Definitely not, infact recently dropped a bloke who was rich with all the toys etc because I didnt really like him. I dont car if you drive a old banger aslong as u are good to me... money means nothing and it doesnt buy you happiness x
WhatIsLove2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Cars mean absolutely nothing to me. I'm practical and I don't like flashy men. It would actually be a turn off. Especially after my last relationship, he focused so much on having a nice car and other stuff that I didn't care about but was dead broke. Sorry, I couldn't see a guy a fancy car and want to hop in...they could be anything from an a*hole to a serial killer. I'm good. Edited October 28, 2014 by WhatIsLove2014
Sunfire73 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 He can be a short term fling. I would still have to find out if he's truly relationship material and go from there.
d0nnivain Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I admit I once started talking to a guy because I loved his car: a 1967 Mustang convertible. I think I was 17 at the time. If I saw the guy you mentioned I'd probably wonder what he was overcompensating for. I'd have to know him / talk to him in person before I could decide to date him because my 1st thoughts would be negative: he must be a jerk to drive such a flashy car especially in a city where it's totally for show. It's not like you can let a machine like that really open up in a crowded city.

chimpanA-2-chimpanZ Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I dated a very rich and very handsome man for a while. Sure, it was exciting to be on his arm at his big gala events and I secretly liked all the jealous looks from other women, but...he just wasn't it. He wasn't a lot of fun to be with. He was book-smart but had no wit whatsoever. He made me laugh maybe once in the 7-8 months we dated. Hell, the only reason we dated so long was because I knew he made so much sense on paper and I wanted to believe there was something wrong with me, not him. Finally I couldn't do it anymore. It was the easiest breakup of my life. Rich and handsome might be enough to get my attention, but holding that attention is the key. No amount of money can stop the realization that the man next to you is just dull.
GemmaUK Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 No, seriously, the car would put me off. My fave car is an original VW Beetle. Not the new ones, the old style...but I do like American bumpers so a 1303 preferably...but a 1300 would be perfectly OK too.. 1
