Does driving a Porsche make a man more desirable to women?

What an amazing “dog bites man” story.

I would like a grant to help finally answer that ancient mystery: Why do only women get pregnant. I figure I could come up with an answer for, say, two million.

Does driving a Porsche make a man more desirable to women?

Only if the man has a fat wallet and a SUV for her to go shopping with.

Unhappy Porsche owners. Please see me about giving away your problem.

>>Money is for women what T&A is for men:<<

Exactly! Men seek freedom and “control over their domain”. Women seek security and a future where they believe they and their children will be protected and taken care of. It is one reason why women are more likely to put up with a philandering husband - especially if he is rich.

Looks like a Ford. I love the roadster styling on the front end.

It sure beats this.....

That is a beauty!

She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy

Plowing these fields in the hot summer sun
Over by the gate lordy here she comes
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea
I make a little room and she climbs on up
Open up a throttle and stir a little dust
Just look at her face she ain’t a foolin me

She thinks my tractor’s sexy
It really turns her on
She’s always staring at me
While I’m chuggin along
She likes the way it’s pullin’ while we’re tillin’ up the land
She’s even kind of crazy ‘bout my farmer’s tan
She’s the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor’s sexy

We ride back and forth until we run out of light
Take it to the barn put it up for the night
Climb up in the loft sit and talk with the radio on
She said she’s got a dream and I asked what it is
She wants a little farm and a yard full of kids
One more teeny weeny ride before take her home

She thinks my tractor’s sexy
It really turns her on
She’s always staring at me
While I’m chuggin along
She likes the way it’s pullin’ while we’re tillin’ up the land
She’s even kind of crazy ‘bout my farmer’s tan
She’s the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor’s sexy

Well she ain’t into cars or pick up trucks
But if it runs like a Deere man her eyes light up

She thinks my tractor’s....

She thinks my tractor’s sexy
It really turns her on
She’s always staring at me
While I’m chuggin along
She likes the way it’s pullin’ while we’re tillin’ up the land
She’s even kind of crazy ‘bout my farmer’s tan
She’s the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor’s sexy

She thinks my tractor’s sexy
She thinks my tractor’s sexy

>>Volvo: Boxy, but good.<<

Great movie!

But technically, Volvo’s aren’t really all that good...

"When women considered him for a long-term relationship, owning the sports car held no advantage relative to owning an economy car," said co-author Daniel Beal, assistant professor of psychology at Rice.

Newflash for Professor Beal - guys who drive sports cars to impress women aren't even slightly interested in anything long-term. They're looking for a hookup that begins with the phrase "I like your car".

And some of us drive sports cars because we enjoy driving, though maximum enjoyment must wait for track days.

Ans...a good sense of humor...works every time.

>>A man needs a pickup truck, a wrench, and the ability to use them.<<

Hey, if the women don't find you handsome, at least they can find you handy!

[Tax-chick]

LOL! I’ve often said the most important feature in a car is the driver.

Does dressing up like a slut make a woman more desirable to men?

I remember reading the book “The Right Stuff”...It seems the Mercury 7 were all hot and bothered about getting sports cars...all except John Glenn. Glenn drove an under-powered Prinz. He kept getting ragged on by the other guys. One morning when the astronauts reported for their daily meeting, Glenn had written on the blackboard...

“Definition of a sports car: hedge against the male menopause”.

Without going into salacious details like a college sophomore in Penthouse I can truthfully say that my Porsche 911S was as good as pheromones on several occasions and was directly responsible for ladies coming on to me and the resulting hook-up.

In over 50 years of car ownership, I never had quite the same experience with any number of fine cars such as a Lincoln Towncar or LSC, assorted Caddilacs, or the lesser BMWs. i always thought the LSC was the finest all-around personal sports model I ever owned and it was a pretty good chick magnet, but not in the same class as the Porsche.

God knows what happens with Ferrari or Lamborghini owners.

“Cue the quotes from “Crazy People””

LOL, we’ve got the actual prop that was used in that movie for the ad pitch to Porsche. On one side is the standard ad agency Porsche ad, on the other side is the “honest ad.” Very funny stuff.

I’ll let you know after I buy my Porsche C4S next summer.

In order to determine that, you would have to find out why men don't get pregnant. Are you still willing to do it for only $2mil? (-:
