    Whether it's a mid-life crisis, a teenage dream or just a personal milestone, many people, especially men, mark their life changes with a car - often an expensive one. But that won't do anything to attract women, according to a new study. Flying in the face of decades of conventional wisdom, the new study, commissioned by Top Gear Australia, shows that there's no difference in the reaction a typical woman's brain shows to a any given man whether he's in a jalopy or a Rolls Royce. Men that are generally regarded as attractive are especially immune to the vagaries of how a car might reflect on their perception. "If you're a good looking bloke, don't even worry about it," said Peter Pynta of Neuro Insight, the company that performed the study. More average-looking guys benefit from being shown with just about any car, according to the survey. But some men, such as the typical laborer, aren't going to meet with feminine approval regardless of the car they're in. We'll leave it up to you to assess the veracity of the study's conclusions.

    Utter nonsense. It's common knowledge that money attracts women and anyone driving an expensive sports or luxury car will automatically be classified as wealthy women. Close to every other Porsche driver I see, has a blond hottie riding shotgun -- in addition to other men in Lambo's and Flying spurs enjoying the company of very attractive women.

    Get some twins and place one with a POS Toyota Crapola and place one with a Mercedes SL55. Who will get more attention/phone numbers...

    Yeah ok... I wonder how did they actually conduct the research. They should do some practical experiments, I am more than happy to help them out.

    The girl that reads Consumer Reports will go for the twin with the Toyota. :bonk::laugh2:

    I know quite a lot of ladies who are run by money so lets face it they are going to be happy if a bloke pulled up in his mum Nissan Micra..

    Chances are that the women that are indeed attracted to guys with 'high-end' vehicles are gold diggers. Kind of shallow too. Personally, I've always hated the cliche of 'this or that (whatever it may be) get you tons of chicks'. Seems terribly shallow to think like that.

    What Luw describes to me as 'blonde hotties' most always sparks up images of dyed-blonde bimbo's.

    Yes and we all know she must be so interesting:eusa_doh:

    Women that are attracted to a man's material possessions aren't likely going to care about what he looks like, how old he is, and whether he is good in bed. Any 'relationship' based on such frivolity is a joke.

    This is what guys don't get: most women, unlike men, are looking for a partner, and a relationship. Any women looking for anything outside of those things is going to find herself with a relationship not worth having.

    Men buy expensive cars to show off to other MEN. Not to attract women. Unless those women happen to be prostitutes and or gold diggers.

    That is why you never see young hot women with sloppy unattractive yet rich men:t-crazy2:

    Mostly true, but not always
  15. Centurion Contributing Member

    Not entirely true. I'd say it's a mixture of the two.

    Gullwing, I see that all the time, I made reference to them in my post.

    I think a lot of these observations and opinions we all have are based on where we live. I don't live in a wealthy community where I see people driving Bentley's and Lambo's every day of the week.

    In LA for example, I know many people that are so image conscious that driving the wrong car means no talk, no date. What do I say to people like this?

    "You are an imbecile."

    One time while on the strip I saw one guy with two "very hot" girls, one on each arm. They were wearing very short skirts and little tops over their very large fake tops.
    I am sure that relationship lasted at least a few hours, maybe even a full weekend. At which point the guy probably was several several thousand dollars lighter. :banana:(y):banana:

    It's a win for both sides. The man probably earns too much money and doesn't mind spending €1,000 on booze for one night if it means that he's get a younger and super sexy woman on his back. And the women don't mind giving up their body for some bubbly champagne. Both are in most cases just after having a great time. I mean who hunts for a house wife in such a superficial manner anyways?
  19. Gullwing Well-Known Member

    Yes €1,000+ on booze for the night, but you forgot about the hourly rate which can be several hundred to 1,000+. So for an entire night it can be easily over $10,000.
    Or you can just stay at home with a six pack and the internet for under $10:eusa_thin
