Like the new Volkswagon Beetle for instance. 99% of people driving them are girls.

Then you look at the Corvette and 99% of drivers are men.

Why?

Why are most stupid looking cars driven by women (like the beetle)? Do cars with rounder shapes remind women of their own curves? Do cars with more angles, shapes and corners remind men of their lack of curves?

What do you think?

There must be some biological reason why women prefer certain cars and men don't.

Why don't men like "cute"?

Certain cars are designed to appeal to women or to men. Men like cars that look aggressive; women like cars that look cute. (This is oversimplification, of course, but it is the general rule of thumb.) It's probably because the men and women themselves want to look aggressive or cute respectively, and the car is an extension of that.

I personally am not a big fan of VW Beetles...they are too small and compact for my liking.

Lately, I've been admiring a lime green Super Bee at a dealership I pass every morning on my way to work. Wish I could afford it. ;)

Dear Mike, men aren't the only ones that get a little weak in the knees over a nice classic ride, built for a need for speed in mind.

I like safety and good engineering most and preferred the Volvo, which I don't think is cute or sexy to anyone, but I don't drive now. I use a bike. If I owned a car now, I'd probably go for fuel economy, maybe a hybrid.

So now "cute" and "horsepower" are encoded in our DNA?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL..........

O.K., I can't help it, it has to be said.................that is the dumbest crap I have ever heard.


-----Personally, I hate those little Beetles, and I LOVE
Corvettes.


OMG!!! I have....MAN DNA!!!!! Noooooo!!!

Oh yeah, and one more thing. Corvettes actually have a lot of curves. I've always thought that if I were a car, I'd be a Corvette. (Don't ask, it was a game my friends and I played in H.S. "If you were a tree, what kind of tree....etc."). Beetles are just ...round, NOT "curvy."

Certain cars are desighned with women in mind and certain cars are designed for men.
The Beetle has a long door, making entry and exit easier. and it's "cute"

The Dodge Charger on the other hand has high horsepower and graphics that appeal to the male ego

( more HP--bigger balls )

There might be other reasons for buying the Beetle vs. the Corvette over and above the “cuteness” of it. It’s cheaper than a Corvette, and it has a flower vase in it.

Now THAT’S cute!

While your like and dislike is purely opinionated I think you are on to something. Curves are more feminine while angels are more masculine, so your theory does make some logical sense. However Corvettes are quite curvy, especially the older models.

rounder, stupider looking cars are marketed towards women, and the vast majority of people, male or female, are easily manipulated by targetted advertisements.

It's easier to trade in a car for a newer, classier model than a man.

properly, Indians are Asian. So are midsection easterners. i assume you have been conversing with reference to the East Asian women, although. For those applications we are able to place midsection easterners and Indians as "west Asians" and eastern, chinese language, etc as "east Asian". besides, in my opinion: ideal looking adult males: a million) Black adult males 2) White adult males 3) East Asian adult males. 4) West Asian adult males 5) Latino / Hispanic adult males. ideal looking females: a million) West Asian females 2) East Asian females 3) Latina females 4) White females 5) Black females
