Men who drive pickup trucks are sexy.

[edcoil]

“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.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

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

[WayneS]

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??

[ReneeLynn]

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

[w1andsodidwe]

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.

[RC2]

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?

[bigbob]

Maybe in Metrosexualville...

[RandallFlagg]

What about Jeeps?

[dfwgator]

“Broads, Buicks, and Buckley!”

[Eddie01]

No, Corvette’s do.

[the invisib1e hand]

signs of money and power are to women what T&A are to men -- they completely override the rationale faculties. Any woman with any sense knows the guy with the porsche is most likely a self-worshipping twirp, but she can't help wanting him all the same. She'll hate him as much much as she thinks she needs him.

[Erasmus]

Ahhh, the classic question.

What's the difference between a Porsche and a porcupine?

Answer in white: In a porcupine the pricks are on the outside.

[Obadiah]

While finding that men may use conspicuous consumption as a short-term mating signal, the researchers discovered that women don't behave in the same manner and don’t conspicuously spend to attract men.

How dumb is this statement?

Of course women don't conspicuously spend on things like cars to attract men. On the other hand, most men I know don't dress in skin-tight, form-fitting, and low cut clothing either. Don't women conspicuously dress like this to attract men? Sheesh.

[isthisnickcool]

I’ve owned so many cars I can’t count them. A Carrera I had was a blast to drive. I did not buy it for babes. Don’t need a car for that. I bought it because it was fun to drive. I have some other high performance cars but usually drive a pickup daily.

Some women are in to the “stuff”. The fun ones are the ones don’t care. I like hearing “what is a rolex?” when they ask about one of my watches.

All women are in to money. They may say they are not but that is a lie. And they all love “white things” aka diamonds.

The best gift you can give to a woman besides some things I won’t describe cuz I’ll get banned is to simply listen to them. Women love knowing that you have been listening. If they mention they like something even in passing wait a bit then give it to them. Could be something inexpensive like leaving the toilet configured to whatever. Paying attention is a big deal.
