Young Ladies....Why is "important" for a guy to have a nice car ?

Question

Wouldn't a "hooptie" be just fine it has four wheels that just as good as taking a bus........right!

Answer 1

Look, why is it important for a girl to be pleasant and attractive?

Everybody has certain criteria for the people they want to hang out with. Sadly, one of these criteria (for many young women) is that her guy has a car, and preferrably a nice one. The car isn't even the important part; it's what the car represents. It means one of two things:

1. I am a respectable, industrious and responsible person, capable of holding a well-paying job and managing my money effectively -- very attractive to some people -- or

2. I am a wealthy person, either through my own efforts or via my parents, and so have access to nice things and experiences that non-wealthy people don't have access to -- very attractive to other people.

Now, the car itself also provides a certain amount of social status, convenience, and (let's be frank here) a great place to fool around if you're all still living with your parents. To judge a car as just "a way of getting around" is to be extremely short-sighted about the whole thing.

Oh, and as someone who's had crap cars and nice cars, I can say this with certainty: when you date a guy with a crap car, you get stranded and otherwise inconvenienced a lot, whereas dating a guy with a nice car means getting places on time without drama. Even without the other things I've talked about, isn't it nice to make it to dinner without your boyfriend having to crawl under their car to hang up the exhaust pipe?

By the way, this works in reverse for guys: we like women to have no car (so that they're dependent on us) or a crappy car (so that we can "rescue" her when it breaks down, and show off our mechanical skills when we fix it.) That's just the way we are.

Answer 2

Sounds bitter and whiny. Sure, there are genuinely nice guys who get friendzoned for a while, but if they're sincere they'll get snapped up by someone who thinks the world of them. And there are women who will use men's feelings for them to manipulate and control. What happens more often in my personal experience is that the "nice guy" persistantly misleads women over his intentions. He's so scared of rejection that he can't bring himself to make the first move, gives out a bunch of confusing mixed signals so you can't actually tell if he's into you or not, and expects the woman to read his mind.* Then, when she finds a more forthcoming partner, he will glue himself to her and try to split them up, undermining the relationship with disparaging comments and interference. When this doesn't happen, she will become one of those eeeevil sluts who only wants a jock. (The boyfriend is always a jock, even if he's five-foot-nothing and enjoys good standing in the chess club.) *In one case, literally. The chap in question kept telling me about his other gfs, comparing my looks to theirs in a very negative way, and insisting that he wanted a platonic friendship. Eventually he revealed that he had been interested in a relationshippy relationship after all--which I was expected to know via telepathy. No, really. Worst part is I had a huge crush on him but assumed I had no chance and accepted his friendship instead. If he'd just said something, I'd have been all over him like ants on candy, but by then I'd moved on.

Answer 3

Because a nice car is a status symbol and for a man, a reflection of his success. I once dated a guy who had an average car, yet, kept it such a mess that I actually wanted to get out a rag and start cleaning. Seriously, if a guy drives around and doesn't keep up his car, then, he most likely has a messy house/apartment as well. And, those are all sign of a man thats a mess internally and lazy as well.

Answer 4

Maybe when I was a teenager a hooptie would have been fine, but I'm older now and a hooptie would not be cool.

Answer 5

Cus it makes the guy look better:) If he has a nice guy it means he has a stable, good-paying job and that he's loaded with money. But I don't really crae about that kind of stuff< I wanna guy who will love me sooo much & make me feel like I'm the most important person in his world:)

Answer 6

sometimes a nice car shows that he has a stable, good paying job and would be able to support you if you get serious..when ur older but when ur younger.....i date the guys not their cars...............unless its a really nice one. it is fun to cruise around with a hott guy in a nice car.=]]

Answer 7

because it shows that the guy is responsible. chicks don't want a bum or a freeloader and him having a good car or something similar is one way of knowing that he isn't

Answer 8

I don't care if the guy has a car, truck, whatever. It is the guy I want to be with. I don't care about his car.

Answer 9

Answer 10
