Men who drive pickup trucks are sexy.

“And, gentlemen, women can see right through it.”

Yea, right.

That is why they go after the guys with Porsche’s.

[Fido969]

A woman would be more attracted to a red ‘vette than a Porshie.

*imagines Thomas Friedman, Al Gore, Obama, or Soros driving past in a porsche* Nope. Does not make them appealing to me.

Okay, but large and colorful feathers can’t pull more than a ‘g’ on a skid pad.

However, there was a catch: although women found the flashy men more desirable for a date, the man with the Porsche was not preferred as a marriage partner. Women inferred from a man’s flashy spending that he was interested in uncommitted sex.

And the drawback here is??

So, if you want women who just want sex, get a Porsche. Is that what this article is saying?

Yup real men drive Pickups and 4X4s(and Harleys).....

metrosexuals drive porsches.....

No, but a female driving a T-Bird requires that men ask if my husband bought it for me. The answer is NO, I bought it myself.

When I was driving a Corvett, I did so for my own pleasure. And a pleasure it was. The Vet did attract a certain number of women but I never told them about the car until I picked them up for a date. They loved the car. A Vet is like any other hotrod, it’s an ego trip for the driver. They shouldn’t make more than that of it.

Who marries before a first date?

My Pick-up IS s 4 x 4 AND I have a Harley! No wonder my wife finds me irresistable!!!

[Salamander]

Show me a guy in a ‘68 HemiCuda or HemiCharger and then I’ll look.

[brytlea]

Flashy is probably in the eye of the beholder. Personally I don’t care for pick up trucks (and I’m from TX—go figure!), so I wouldn’t find them particularly sexy. In fact, I can’t imagine looking at the car a guy drives as a factor —as long as it runs and isn’t a rambling wreck it wouldn’t matter a bit to me.

Maybe in Metrosexualville...

Men who drive pickup trucks are sexy.

Yep, Manly men:) And women who desire only men with porsches are materialistic and are good only for arm candy. Although, that is all some men with Porsches are looking for.

and I forgot to mention:

60s and 70s muscle cars and Hotrods...
