Flashy sports cars are male 'short-term mating signal'

TypeOne

I lol at some of the thread titles on this forum.

I thought girls that got picked up by guys driving down the street were hookers and would go with anyone with cash.

Really. How does a guy pick up a girl in a club with a car shows her his key ring? You have to have game in the first place inorder for her to see your car.

Which is very much true. In Diamond Bar or Irvine Area, you would rather get a Honda Fit for this very reason. Especially when...

I mean, who you try to impress....chicks or dicks?....or chicks w/ dicks?

article states that while men spend $$ to attract women, women don't spend money to attact men.

No sh!t, they have a pu$$y, that's all they need to get a man's attention.

Men need to show a potential mate that they have something to offer. the quickest way to do that in this day and age is to show that you have $$$ and therefore have something to offer a mate. In caveman days, a good successful hunter would be equivalent.

A bit OT, but still interesting:

Studies have shown women prefer to have sex/date men with high T levels, but prefer to marry men w/lower T levels. Makes sense since men with higher T levels are most likely to stray while men with lower T levels are more likely to be domesticated and stick around for child rearing.

Studies also show once men get married their T levels drop and once they get divorced, they go up again. Actually the man's T levels go up about a year before they get divorced...

Prostitution is legal in the states, just depends on the currency you use. If you're using dollars, you're in trouble. If you first convert those dollars into food and booze, video and audio entertainment, or maybe a weekend listening to emotional baggage (remember, time is money), then you may have just spent money on sex.

Shado is wise, quoted for truth.

I like how all these studies sort of imply that their reason for existence is on the verge of reversing millions of years of human evolution.

i bought the 370 for me............
but it does draw attention and stares....... don't you just hate that

So, perhaps a lot of people buy their cars for everyone else (to impress, draw attention, etc), so they assume others do too. Not me. And the last thing I care about is what anybody else thinks (except my wife and kids). Once you achieve that, you are truly free.

The pitfall for women here is that it's easy to appear much wealthier than you actually are. You can own a Z or even more expensive car (and lots of other bling), and be well into debt (negative net worth) and have no real potential for financial growth via professional prospects, especially in the last 10 years with the liberalization of credit. I have known girlies who were impressed by Bubba driving the hot Stang, and now they live with Bubba and Bubbles in the trailer park with the hot Stang, and always will. The nerd who had nothing, did not show off, worked Friday nights washing dishes, never impressed the girls nor had a girlfriend until age 21, went and got an MBA at Stanford and now is a CEO and worth $20 million over a career.

Very true. Smart chickas will quickly figure out your true value, dumb ones will fall for the superficial bling. there's more of the latter out there than the former though.
