STUDY: Women More Attracted To Men In Expensive Cars
 
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...-Woman-601.jpg

A UK university's released a study proving what any car salesman's ever told us, women judge men primarily by wealth and status, digging guys in expensive cars more than those driving an econobox.

The survey, run by researchers at the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff, claims it shows women rate a man higher if he is behind the wheels of a "fancy motor rather than in an old banger." The University team showed women pictures of the same man sitting in two cars — a $100,000 silver Bentley Continental and a battered Ford Fiesta.

The women, aged between 21 to 40, picked the man sitting in the Bentley ahead of the same man in the Ford.

The researchers say findings confirmed women judge a man by his wealth and status, but men tested in the same way are not impressed by whatever car a woman drives. But guys, don't go running off to throw a copy of this study into your significant others' face as the same researchers also determined men judge their choice purely on a woman's face and figure.

Dr Michael Dunn, who worked on the study, claims: "Females focus on questions of wealth and status because if the male possesses those, that male would be in a better condition to rear healthy offspring."

So in other words, do middle-aged men in expensive cars seem more attractive to women despite their grey hair and expanding waistline? Dr Dunn admits yes, but also that his research could be interpreted as evidence that women are shallower than men. He claims: "Let's face it - there's evidence to support it." We always knew it.

That makes sense, doesn't it?

If a woman is intending to raise a family, she will want a man with money - too bad I only just realised that one :shakes head:

Just about all women are prostitutes.

You pay either way. Just with one you negotiate the price up front, with the other you're on the payment program.

They do say a wedding ring is the most expensive thing you will ever buy for a reason...you never stop paying for it! (in more ways than one) :owned::icon14:

While I agree with the overall conclusion of the study, I take issue with the wording of said conclusion.

"Women More Attracted To Men In Expensive Cars"

should read

"Women more attracted to the financial security of a man who drives an expensive car"

followed by:

"Women who have secured a rich husband, are more attracted to a young buff stud with a 6-pack"




edit:
The barometer of financial security to my wife is this: the number of shoes she can buy in a month without me taking issue with her.

umm yeah, pretty much.

if women weren't attracted to cars, i'd be riding a bicycle right now.

zsport1 03-28-2009 12:42 AM

So true. When I'm driving my truck no women pay attention to me. When I'm in my Z they are always waving me down asking me to roll down my window and talk. :ughdance:

being a girl i agree partially with this statement. if you have 2 guys, one in a beat up piece and one in a DECENT car (NOT necessarily a benz or a bmw or a Z) a girl is going to think that the one in the better car has a job, stability, and takes care of things that are important to them such as their car. not saying that the other one COULDNT but when thats the first thing you see that can come across a girls mind.


ps- im not a prostitute thank ya verrrry much! :tup:

zman1910 03-28-2009 08:58 PM
