I just figure most truck owners just like wasting money on gas. Seems like most truck owners don't even use them for what they were built to do.

Lol, can't argue with this part of the article:

“I would think twice about dating a guy driving a Volkswagen Beetle, or anything labeled a chick car," she says. "Telling your friends, 'Yeah, my new boyfriend drives a VW Beetle,' that would be very humiliating."
But I'm sure they meant 2nd gen Beetle, not the original one. I would drive this:

Women overwhelmingly point to black (53%) as the color of cars driven by good-looking men.
I like this quote, Thank you.

you guys are missing the point: those polled indicated 'physically attractive people tend to drive xxxxx', NOT 'xxxxx makes people appear more attractive'

let's face it, more often than not, guys will not turn down a young, beautiful female mail carrier with big jugs, and gals will not turn down the hideous midget with the private jet

• SUVs: 16%
• Sedans: 11%
• Hybrid or electric: 9%
• UPS truck: 4%
• Minivans: 2%

Idk man, ive gotten some looks in mine, but thats not why i bought it. It hauls my boat, my travel trailer, my flatbed car trailer and the hay trailer. It hauls logs, railroad ties, landscaping bricks, stone, dirt, and whatever else i throw at it.

It also gets as good of fuel economy as most non-hybrid lexus suv's when not loaded on the hwy. When i dont need it, i drive my other car.

As far as the money factor, pretty sure a loaded f-series or Ram approaches a lexus like 60,000 dollar price point rather quickly, so dont assume that the guy down the street with that shiny new pickup cant "pay someone to do that stuff for you/him."

Well then it's settled. Lexus NEEDS to come out with a pick up truck. We would corner the market on women. But on second thought maybe that could be a bad thing. Lol.

Pickups from traditional luxury-carmakers usually don't sell. Lincoln tried twice, with the Blackwood and Mark LT. Cadillac tried with an upmarket Escalade EXT version of the Chevy Avalanche. None of them were successful. Much more successful have been the top-zoot versions of domestic mainstream pickups, like the Ford King Ranch and the Ram Laramie, which effectively function as luxury pickups.

Women are attracted to built taller men. Fact. If the dude is 6'4" and athletic he could drive a bike and women will jock him. Women are women. Most of the ones I know dont care about cars, but they do notice a tall , dark, and handsome driver or rider of whatever.

You want women you need to grow and lift some weights. Save your money on the car. They dont give a **** unless its a beater
