MrAdversity Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 This is purely for fun, although I am highly interested in the outcome as I have heard this discussion many many times lately and throughout the years! From research most woman say a big black truck …. Now I am due for a new vehicle in the next two years (I drive a commuter small SUV right now) not my favorite but I am looking at 1. Pickup Trucks 2. Muscle Car 3. More aggressive / manly SUV I do have children (but we have another vehicle in family), I am a DIYer hence the interest in pickup trucks (never owned one) but yet I have a craving for a muscle car I am a huge car guy and kinda have a bucket list to own/drive every different type of vehicle at some point - Going back to the above question I do not believe I look the part walking out of a small white chicky SUV and when people see me (6'0 190lbs) they kinda say the same - I don't care just really want something fun to drive!

ButterflyWrists Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Try a Kawasaki Ninja 636. Not best for passenger comfort, but will get you noticed ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrina Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 One that doesn't regularly break down and is clean inside. You can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself. It's your money you've earned and are shelling out for a high-priced item. Just like the high of smelling a brand new car's interior fades, so will a woman's high fade by regularly stepping into your chick-magnet mobile. I'd instead have a mindset that being a potential great companion to a woman by being kind, faithful, respectful, fun, etc. will attract a better quality woman versus ones who care what possessions and the type of vehicle you have.

Hence why I asked for fun natured conversation - I do not care long term on what people think just curious what does it for you (woman) when seeing a guy get out of a car/truck - think about it I bet most on here have said once or twice to there significant other I can totally see you driving that or you would look so good in that car / truck Try a Kawasaki Ninja 636. Not best for passenger comfort, but will get you noticed ;) Had one before I got married! Ninja ZX6R - Def a head turner in traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetGirl28 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Are you married? For me, I'm drawn to beautiful things, so classy cars catch my eye. Those are the Mercedes, Porsche, and Jaguars. If you like muscle cars, don't get a corvette because I'm not kidding, all that drives them here are very, very old men lol! Fisker will turn heads in an instant. Those are very cool cars. Pick up trucks, the ones jacked up, big tires, all shiny, I used to be all "oh hell yeah" lol but not anymore. Classy SUV, go for the New Cadillac Escalade. Dude, you're in Miami! It's all about the muscle cars on that strip there! Why not rent out what you like there and see what you like driving the most? I noticed in front of the posh places there there's cars I never knew existed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DancingFool Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 ...still trying to figure out what's a girly v manly SUV....lol.... here I just thought of them as SUV, aka fun to drive and practical.

maew Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I love the look of a classic car but my favorite vehicles are SUV crossovers when it comes to style, comfort and features. I grew up in a small town... everyone I knew had a truck, I drove nothing but trucks for years. I actually like trucks but they are not particularly convenient for city driving and most of them are horrible on gas... and here, gas prices are the highest in the country. Trucks are only good if you like camping, hunting, boating, or need it for work IMO. And I agree with SweetGirl... I am so not a fan of corvettes, and definitely not convertibles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I see a guy driving around in a car (or truck) that is bigger or more flashy than average, I immediately assume that he's compensating for some (perceived) inadequacy.

RedDress Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 This is going to be sooooooo individual and I can’t speak to women as a whole - but I can speak for myself... Personally, I like ‘tradional’ manly men full of dirt and grime and swilling beer. I’m not into metrosexual men, although they can have their own charm and sophistication and can certainly be attractive. If a guy pulls up in a nice truck, and I’m talking to the guy about his truck, it’s because I want to know about HIM. I want to know what guy things he does with his truck lol! There is an implication that he can fix things and move heavy objects and plans to do man things with his man truck lol If a guy pulls up in his muscle car, and i’m talking to him about his car, it’s because I like his car and am envious of it. I want to sit in it, and test drive it and know about it’s features. While talking to me, he might be able to put on the charm, but that’s not why i’m there. To me, truck says “utility”, muscle car says “image”. If you are driving an SUV, I’m asking about your kids. Lol! That’s a family vehicle to me. The hybrid, IMO, is something like a Jeep. It’s a little of everything. Kinda utility/off-roading, also kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snny Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Who cares about what women think. Having an opinion is like an a-hole — everyone’s got one. Get a car you feel good in and enjoy driving. I own and used to show my muscle car. It’s my “happy hour” to ride in when going to and leaving work. I like speed, power, style, and being able to tinker/custom it. I go to car meet up and roll with other enthusiasts who are into the same car. I especially love driving manual, and muscle cars seem to be the only type of vehicle that offers stick shifts anymore. They are fun and everyone should learn how to drive one. I had to drive drunk friends home from parties and bars because I’m usually the only one who knew how to drive their manual transmission cars. If your thinking about Tacoma Toyota trucks are rated better (resale and maintenance) according to Consumer Reports. Whenever I see a guy driving around in a car (or truck) that is bigger or more flashy than average, I immediately assume that he's compensating for some (perceived) inadequacy. Oh, and female drivers with trucks and muscle cars? I bought mine with my own money - didn’t borrow from my daddy or husband. Not all of us settle on driving Priuses or Civics. Yup, agreed. Or a jerk. So that explains the negative attitude you gave me when I created a thread on my husband and I arguing about giving up my car. So I’m a “jerk,” Gotcha. 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I assume men who put their ego into their vehicle are going to be cocky - which is usually, not always, but usually - my experience. No need to hold a grudge from months ago.

katrina1980 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I am into beautiful things for myself, rugged things for my guy. I abhor Mercedes, BMWs, Jaguars, Porche's (for the reasons MLD said). I had a date pick me up in a Lamborghini once (found out later he rented it to impress me), and I was turned off! They're just so, I dunno, assuming. I like jeeps! Very cool. And I like guys who drive jeeps! And SUVs with their skis on the top, mountain climbing or wrestling gear in the back. Rugged, laid back and unassuming is more my style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melancholy123 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 OK I married a car guy, British cars actually. We have had all manner of Brit cars, currently we have a real Mini, not a BMW Mini, I have a Triumph TR6 and he has a 65 Austin Mini Van, like an old school Mini but a van, and an Austin Somerset convertible he's restoring. I cant go into every car we've ever had as there's too many. I like unusual, exotic, cool cars. I do not like any North American vehicle, I barely tolerate his GM pickup truck! I love the look of a sleek sporty BMW or Mercedes, some of the Tesla models, older Porsches, Alfa Romeos etc. I know I am different than most women when it comes to cars and I like it that way.

abitbroken Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 just a tip - muscle cars attract men to come up and ask you what engine you put into it or whatever. They don't attract most ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfan Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 What type of car do I as a woman find "attractive"? One that a dude owns free and clear with no payments and a good safety rating. Hawt! My thoughts when I see a dude driving massive pick up in the city is that he clearly feels the need to conform to traditional concepts on masculinity and that would be a huge turn off. There's no real reason to own a pick up unless you need it for work. A "me man big truck" attitude is NOT attractive. Ditto for muscle cars. I assume that the man driving it had either hit a mid life crisis, cares way too much about image, or feels inadequate as a man. And if you're driving a Ferrari, Porsche etc? You clearly have more money than brains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphim Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 We live in rural Ont. We have an F150 but every second person does. It comes in very handy in winter if you actually want to leave here and not die on the 401. We use it for our side business too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 IMHO, I don't care if it's a car, SUV, truck, whatever, so long as it is clean. I went on a 2nd date with a guy and he picked me up and it smelled like dogs and sweaty shoes. No third date, i was so turned off. He knew it smelled bad too, he apologized.

Whenever I see (mostly HEAR) a muscle car, V8 engine revving and screaming up the road my instant reaction is: "OMG dude, get a life already!" So juvenile and very off-putting. All the macho stuff .... just UGH. I think guys love them so as to impress other guys, because lets face it, the vast majority of car buffs are male. A handful of females might be "impressed", but the vast majority really don't care, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
