>>>Anybody ever use their vehicles to attract women? People with like sports cars? Is it worth it? Does it help? Discuss.<<<
Hey unistork and those of you contemplating this move, let me save you a bunch of time and a LOT of money by saying DON’T!!! DO NOT! It doesn’t work… AT ALL! I’m speaking from experience here:
Let me start off by saying that I’m a big time sportscar enthusiast, and have been since I was in seventh grade, so naturally once I got out of college and landed my first real job, it wasn’t too long before I snatched my savings and bought a wicked ride. My choice was a pre-owned Dodge Viper. I spent roughly $40k on a moderate mileage car that lived a pampered existence with it’s first owner and had a fresh paintjob on it… point is (back before the Gen 3 cars were out) no one could really tell that it wasn’t new (most assumed that it was), especially chicks who don’t know the finer details about cars in the first place… so, for all intensive purposes, I was this 22-year old guy driving around in a $70,000 car. Sound good? Read on…
Now, I NEVER had any delusions about it getting me girls… seriously, the thought never crossed my mind when I bought it… BUT if I had purchased such a pricey and flamboyant form of transportation with the sole purpose in mind to impress the opposite sex I would have been sorely disappointed!!! I’ve had the car for over five years now and I can’t think of more than a handful of occasions where a female has made a comment on my ride, and only ONE where a girl had approached me with obvious “intent”. I’ll tell you what I DO get, a lot of guys coming up to me in parking lots saying things like, “Man, you must get a LOT of p***y with that car!”. Nope. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero. I hang out (and park) in many bustling parts of the major US metropolis that I reside in… busy strip malls, coffee houses, shopping malls, the local University, so my visibility is pretty high. Lots of girls gallivanting around… and very little or no notice by the hotties whatsoever. Even when occasionally I take the car up to the weekly car meet, the (few) girls that sometimes peruse up there have yet to throw a glance or comment my way… even when it’s the coolest thing in the lot. Pre-pubescent boys and middle-aged men think it’s the coolest friggen thing in the world, though… lol! I’ve got a bunch of buddies with nice sportscars and motorcycles and they’ll tell you the same thing.
As for suits and flashy fashion… I can’t say I’d invest too much in the way of cash into those items either. I went through a phase where I was wearing suits and dressy shoes, and details like $300+ Oakleys (well, I still wear those for functional purposes) and really had no luck with that image either. I don’t know that girls are all that interested in money, but then again I have NO idea… I just know what didn’t work at attracting a bit of female attention. I mean if I knew what I was doing, would I be on this board? Of course not.
Anyone want to shed some more light on this situation?
