Are men more attractive because they have a high performance or expensive car? email this discussion to a friend?

Does anyone really think that because a man is driving a sporty or expensive car that he is more attractive? It is always used in advertising as a way of selling cars, but it actually has the opposite effect on me. If I see someone with a car like that, I think 'oh dear, there goes another fool trying to make up for an inadequacy', the more sporty the car, the more I think that they've got a big problem! Am I the only woman who thinks like this?

I haven't seen many adverts for high performance cars with women drivers.

I totally agree! BUT, it is the mindset of the men they are marketing too that is important. It doesn't matter if it is true or not, it only matters if they THINK it is true, or at least might be true. The ads for womens makeup and shampoo, and diet programs does the same thing, only in reverse. I am glad that you see thru it!!lol

You are absolutely right - I suppose that is how advertising works, but I think that maybe men are more gullible!

I thought I was the only one who thought bad things. Or maybe not really bad things. I think there goes another bill he has to pay. Now I know he can't help me with mine. Don't let me find out he lives with his mother.

I don't think it's a bad thing to think - it's truthful and realistic!

there was a British motoring journalist who once described a car as being able to "snap knicker elastic at 50 paces". Strangely enough i did once sleep with a guy who had the car in question (a ford probe) though that wasn't why it happened! Do i find a guy more attractive if he is driving an expensive car? no but if i liked a guys car then i probably would be more likely to sleep with him, especially if it was in said car. HOWEVER what cars i like is not really to do with how expensive it is.

People driving really garish and OTT cars like Ferraris and hummers would put me off though and i do have a tendency to mark them down as possible t**ts.

You do have a point.But then you see most models are also women.Why so,are they more good-looking than guys?You see,this is just some kind of convention that people like to follow.But then, conventions can always be broken.

hiya katsalot

Oh no! I've seen some beautiful, expensive sporty cars with driver's behind the wheel that I haven't found attractive or appealing. It may not even be thier car! I wouldn't judge a person for what they have or own, but thier assets are immaterial compared to thier personality.

I am so pleased to hear it. I find it very worrying that there might be women out there who really do find men attractive because of their flashy car!

I think I will look when I see a man that is driving an expensive fancy car on the street but I won'tthink they are particularly attractive; they could be making lots of money or just being rich but when it comes to a man is attractive, it's not about what fancy car or how handsome he looks like. It is for me.

I nver considered cars and people that drive these personally but you knwo i am a men i think there are a great part of women which they will be attract by big and luxury cars too...so it cna be a charming media to ttract some women too!!In reality i never understood this trend for women mind..but this is normal do you really think that you can understand all things that passes in the women mind?i guess not... surrender

I think that most women aren't attracted to a man because of his car at all, but advertisers persuade men that they are in order to sell cars!
