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.

chubbs 03-27-2009 01:25 PM

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:

dad 03-27-2009 01:50 PM

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.

rednek01 03-27-2009 03:22 PM

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:

jamcro 03-27-2009 04:05 PM

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.

I wonder which 6-pack you mean ....lol:eekdance:

arcticreaver 03-27-2009 04:51 PM

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:

Sunsational04 03-28-2009 08:33 PM

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

HOLD THE PHONE!!!!! Guys judge a woman's attractiveness based on physical attributes?!?!!? Lol I'll be damned if researchers can find a man OR woman that don't judge attractiveness of a person in a picture based on looks. The wealth thing is interesting though.

You forgot "water is wet".

StLRedrider 03-29-2009 11:03 AM

:rolleyes:I don't understand

arcticreaver 03-30-2009 03:11 AM

it's a status thing. kinda like 12 grand for a good Panerai watch that does the same exact thing as a Casio G-Shock. it's a status thing.

Musashi 03-30-2009 07:08 AM

When I'm driving my lambo they're throwing their panties at me offering my "favors" for a car ride. Nothing like that has happened in my Z, sorry. lol

StLRedrider 03-30-2009 09:23 AM

Nice

CrownR426 03-30-2009 12:15 PM

Wow...
I didn't know it took UK Universities to realize that women are attracted to men in expensive cars.
lmao!
Girls are always brainwashed by their parents to go for a rich and good looking guy.
Don't deny it ladies, you know what you want [;

nogoodname 03-30-2009 12:50 PM

well, case solved now....... let it be published in the magazines now....

Cosmo's will be in chaos with this new discovery

StLRedrider 03-30-2009 07:16 PM

Ya dig?!

chief_Roka 11-20-2009 10:40 AM

This is not news to me. That's y wen I was single I left the car @ home n took the train for my dates. I didn't wanna be judged on possessions. Kept my dates simple. And if she really liked me. Then she would come 2 my crib. See my 2 whips or whateva.
Not that I was or am rich. But with the kind of losers out there today. The fact I have a few bucks to spare and at the time 2 highly modified cars (rx7/grand national) was enough 4 a chic to gold dig theese days. Especially wen I lived in ny with that high *** cost of living.

nogoodname 11-20-2009 10:42 AM

^^ pics of the Grand National ? ?

NYBladeZ 11-20-2009 10:51 AM

I personally enjoy picking women up in my camry. Only after they get to know me and I realize that I don't mind hearing them talk for longer than ten minutes do I let them in on the fact that I come from a well to do family and do pretty well for myself. Then again if you are bored and need a quick lay can't go wrong with a 6 figure car, dumb bimbos gravitate like moths to an open flame.

vash_241987 11-20-2009 11:48 AM

89 corolla, 87 accord hatch, 89 accord 4dr, 91 blazer, 95 dodge spirit - no issues with gettin any

awesomez 11-20-2009 12:10 PM

The only thing I wonder here is how can anybody blame them? Man are the same, no matter what they say. If you had a set of identical twins in same clothes, everthing the same except for the car, you'd obviously try to go for both if they are game but if not you'll go for the one with ferarri as opposed to a pinto. Human nature.

wishihadnav 11-20-2009 12:55 PM

haha.

Blown32 11-30-2009 02:43 PM

Chics that judge or gauge a guy by the car he drives are high maintenance queens who on average are about as smart as a bag of rocks!No man will have any respect for a dumb broad no matter how hot she is unless he shares the same rocks in his head as hers!
Over 50% of the gold digger queens after latching onto a rich guy with loads of money and a fancy car in time are hooking up with the younger 6 pack on the side.So in the plastic world it is just a revolving meat market for all walks of man!
