Which car would attract more ladies?
Thanks, Sal.
Well, my philosophy differs from many in society, and that's completely okay. I know that's he's not a noted laureate, but Groucho Marx said it well - I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member.
You are correct in that the man himself actually has to maintain the interest of the person he wants in his life, but we have a fundamental disagreement in that I don't think you need to drive a fancy car simply to "get" the interest. If that's the only way I can gain her interest, I wouldn't give her the time of day. Does it help? The simple answer is yes.
I've gone out with several very attractive womens, and they knew me before they knew what I drive, what I own, or anything else. I'm definitely not a supermodel, rock star, movie star, etc., but I do have the intelligence and social skills that many lack. Those are the type of women that I think more guys should strive to meet, but I defer to the societal norms since I know it won't change. Doesn't mean I have to bow down to it. I'm happily single.

The only thing I don't agree with is where your point is going.. The "car" itself "gets" the interest. It doesn't "hold" the interest. That's the job of the man himself. His personality. His actual level of success. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...
I think what we're really talking about here, and correct me if I'm wrong, is what gets a girl/woman's initial interest. If you can't hold onto her interest after that, than you're S.O.L. But that's another discussion altogether...

Ladies of this forum please note - despite speaking in generalities, I know not everyone falls into these categories. There are good and bad in both camps.

I hear ya, Big Mack. More good sense. Most women are superficial like this - but not all. My first serious relationship that lasted seven years (and this girl was really pretty) started when I was driving an old 1970 Nova (in 1989) with a rusty hole that had a bird's nest in it...

It's no different than the peacock with the brightest feathers, the elk with the biggest antlers, or the baboon with the reddest bu... well you know. We all initially judge someone based on looks, clothes, car, or even just how they carry themselves walking through a crowd. It's human nature. And to some extent, those impressions stay with us for a long time, if we don't have an ongoing relationship with them.
But you absolutely correct. Once we start to deal with someone on a day to day basis, it's who we are as people that really matters to others.

I don't know if i am alone in this, but to some degree, a woman needs to be attracted to what I drive. If she's not, we won't have much in common. I drive cool stuff because that's part of who I am, i dont do it for other people, but at the same time, if she has no interest in cars, I'm really not going to be very interested in her for more than a day.

I know the 911 has the badge but does anybod think the regular 911 and 911s looks kind of plain? I live in irvine/newport area and 911's kind of blend in with all the other cars around here. it seems like you need the turbo or GT3 to set yourself apart. now that i think about it even the m3 and c63 kind of blend in unless they are modded.

pretty well actually! it narrows down the field quite a bit but at least i know we have fun things to do together like car shows, or whatever.
I can't stand those women who don't do anything except shop for more useless crap like shoes or handbags or whatever else they can waste money on.
