When I look up "chick car" I get a few answers as to the definition:

1) Car purchased by more female than male buyers. (The Boxster, TT & Camaro aren't)
2) Concept originated by insecure male car owners.
3) Any convertible car.

So I guess your definition has to be #2 or #3?

That's odd. I look at those vehicles and see them as cars that should be driven by chicks. In all honesty I picked up the concept from Two And A Half Men. I actually mean it as a joke, though I suppose a smiley or two might help make that point. Personally, I have no doubt a lot of perfectly manly guys even like Scions and Smarts and (new) Mini Coopers. All of which, well, you know...

Either way, my taste buds are not your taste buds are not someone else's taste buds. Everything's cool for all of us. They make different cars for a reason. I don't mind if you don't want mine, and I hope you won't mind if I don't want yours. Everybody has to find a way to satisfy themselves. Um. Well, if you know what I mean.

Note that from the beginning I've said the OP should pick something that makes himself happy, not me, or you, or anyone else. That's really the whole point, isn't it?

I jumped into a 2014 Boxster 6 months ago from a 370Z w/ sprt package. I do miss the Z in many ways, but a Porsche is just something else. Although, I didn't get the S the base is pretty quick but you gotta get past 5k to feel the power. It took some getting used to, so I would recommend the S if you can afford it. Obviously, you're going to get biased opinions here so you should definitely do an extended test drive with both cars to feel it for yourself. Make sure to take them on some twisty roads. Both cars will be pretty reliable but if something should go wrong with the Cayman, it won't be cheap. But if you ask me, save a little more money and go with the 981.
