![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Guys please read this article. It is written from a car journalist about his experience when he get to drive expensive cars, and how not only the attractive women tried to leech onto him, he gets preferential treatment everywhere he goes. At the end money talks. Quote:

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Astonishing, but quite expected. It's really not about the car, it's about money. And one doesn't need to preach about what girls will throw themselves at you when stepping out of orange Lambo -- it will be the gold diggers who are used to hunting for men of great wealth. A few weeks ago I saw a documentary about gold diggers in London, and some of them walk around and put bright post-it notes on the wind shield of Bentleys and Porsches. On the notes they write "call me" in addition to their phone numbers, and guess what? Guys actually phone up and end up meeting the chicks for one or two dates, buy them a pair of Prada shoes, have sex and they move on with their lives. Quite pathetic, but it happens. Off course with gold diggers, they might leave as fast as they came. Good luck keeping them when the recession takes away your AMV8 company car. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I don't believe that study. I recently watched a two hour show on television that was about the human and sex, and how status symbols (like a car, for example) does attract a female. Like in the animal kingdom when a peacock struts his feathers or a lion has the biggest mane, so is the same for mankind. The quickest way to achieve that "mate dance" is by having a car that emulates "top of the pack", per se. It may not attract the female a man wants, but it'll attract a female. On the show, an experiment was conducted where female passerbys had to rate a group of men solely based on looks. The most attractive one got the highest rating (for obvious reasons). But when the women were told what their occupations were and their income-lo and behold-the least attractive man suddenly became the item of interest. (they made the most attractive one have the leats attractive income). Another study was conducted on how women perceived cars. They were shown pictures of various front grills, and the overwhelming result was that the women were more attracted to the more aggressive looking fronts. They were also asked what their perceptions of men with a certain type of car were, and they unanimously said that they tend to look at the man with a higher prestige of car than a lower one. The psychological reasoning behind all of this is simple: For a male, females are a dime a dozen, and why settle with the $200 dinner when you can be just as satisfied witht he $5 one. But for a female, she cannot afford to just settle with the $5 dinner, and in the event that sex produces an offspring, she tends to lean toward the male that can financially provide, like a safe haven for the child. In the animal kingdom, the female is attracted by the male who dominates, the stag who standas above the rest, the alpha. Such is the case for the human female in general. She looks for a partner that can or will (or both) provide. Not all women, but most have this subconscious thought. And honestly, a man will never know, because any woman in their right mind will not tell him that. It's not the sole requirement, it's just part of the overall package on how a female chooses her mate. And it's not "gold digging"-that term is entirely different and does not apply here. Now, this study cannot and does not speak for all women, but it was interesting to watch some of the myths we already believe and see facts put to the test. Of course, there are the smart ones that don't take what they see at face value to be true (don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see) but that's another story...

Whose to say that the car actually belongs to him and not some rental? Whose to say that the man is not some serial rapist who has found a better way to lure (shallow=foolish) women? Better yet, whose to say that both parties are in dire need of a therapist, for one views themself as worthless and the other very narcissistic? ...(At first glance) Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see. Some people need this pounded into their heads.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Honestly, in the end it all depends on the type of woman. A Gold digger will run with open arms. A highly educated woman will try to buy the car herself if it's in her budget.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Lol...some will! If you pull up in a Lambo and a woman comes up to you and grabs your arm and says "Hey Suga"...you know what's up. Immediately she is telling you "I AM SUPERFICIAL...PLEASE USE ME AND I WILL USE YOUR MONEY".
