So recently I've been thinking about buying a new car, and I have my eyes set on some rather upscale choices - like an exotic sports car, or a Mercedes sports sedan. If any of you guys have owned really nice cars (think, $100k+), did it help your or hinder your chances with women, when they saw you driving that car, or you gave them a ride in it?

Historically most guys think "If I get a nice car, it will attract more girls", but sometimes I wonder if that's actually the case, because I've seen plenty of guys driving beat up pieces of shit getting lots of girls, and some well-off dudes driving expensive cars who didn't get that much action (for one reason or another).

What do you guys think, and what has been your personal experience with the "car" subject?

Most girls don’t know the difference between an upscale mercedes or a budget version.

They might know it’s a mercedes but that’s as far as it goes. They definitely don’t care about engines or horsepower..

Probably matters more that it’s comfortable and clean and even then the affect on attraction is moot.

All of that “women will be into me if i have a nice car” is just projection. Some men will be into your car. Majority of women couldn’t care less..

I ride a one speed bicycle though so take what I say with a grain or two of salt..

A piece of shit car can hurt you(to an extend depending on many factors, i got laid a looooot with pieces of shit cars), , but is like the difference between a 6 pack and an 8 pack or even a flat stomach after certain threshold there is no much difference...

-nice modern clean car will do... even a nice tesla 45 k one will do, no need to go to high end, I did a post the car role in seduction (lol me reading it i forgot about that post)

Bro! i forgot an easy cheat code, super cheap is a motorcycle...(i ain't risking my life for vagina though)

A car will not change your approach with girls. You need to improve on the root cause. It can give you some self confidence but once the car is gone, your confidence goes with it

Are you going to be approaching ladies while in your car? Do you want to be Mr. provider to every lady that you meet?

Way back when a BMW 5 Series was considered a nice car - I bought one. (These days, it seems 23 year old admin assistants think an S-Class is pedestrian and don't recognize anything better (bmw, audi, really expensive SUV, Tesla, Porsche) unless it's a Lambo or Ferrari... - I blame Instagram)

Comparing my stats with a previously very used Hyundai and less used Toyota Corolla and a few months in a Kia Sedona - my luck with the ladies tanked.

The really smart guys here can see what the difference was.

It had nothing to do with the car.

I now had a serious job where I could afford to buy a German Luxury car vs my layabout/college years.

Not only was I not at the clubs and venues all night, I rarely had ENERGY to go on weekends.

And when I started making "BMW" money, my interesting in bringing home cute waitress of the week after 4 hours of communication for at best 28 minutes of sex of unknown quality (some nights were better than others - and the intensity was really dependent on what I created with the girl - nothing about a chick's appearance or even words can predict sexual chemistry - as chemistry is BUILT....)

I didn't have much interest in adding notches to the belt.

Energy gone. Desire decrease.

I "grew up". More social circle game. Maybe some happy hour game here and there, but King of the Dancehall was over.

Chicks that were my equal in dollars and education were more impressed with my wit, suave, and charm. The cute ones had access to my boss and my boss's boss. Why mess with the guy in accounting for his bread when they could go to his boss and be a side piece?

Chicks below my "station" became harder and harder to break through to. Oftentimes there wasn't enough common ground to build something on, or my stability was a turn off. (If you come off as the lover, it's easier when everything else about you is congruent - and a nice luxury car makes you a member of the society, unless you're a drug dealer)

No chick that rocks with your boy thinks I'm a dummie (Unless they're East Indian, topic for another time), but seeing the fruits of my labor - I went from Mr. Right Now to Mr. Right. And when a chick is moves from short term to long term thinking - paradoxically the pussy freezes up.

Doesn't make any sense. There are pua strategies to overcome it - but it's something that a lot of guys in the community notice, and guys outside of the community also notice.

So the thing to keep in mind is that 99% of cars don't induce sexual attraction - what they do tell the chick is your lifestyle.

If you're still trying to use an external object as bait, not giving her an interactive experience that makes her want more - In the States, a 90K Dodge Charger Hellcat will garner more easy chicks than a 110K Benz.

And if you go the hellcat route, you need the muscles, the flat bill baseball cap, and the "hard charging" alpha attitude to go with it.

In essence, once you start accumulating the "boyfriend material" objects, then you no longer have as much appeal as a lover, because true lovers don't spend their time and energy accumulating those expensive "boyfriend material" objects!

If a man makes good money legally, keeping the chick in the dark is a useful rookie strategy.

However, you guys aren't gonna be broke forever, and you might want to live in a nice apartment/house, drive a nice car. You might need to dress up for work. You might want to finally buy that luxury time piece. And at least in Manhattan (any big city), there's an income threshold for some of the higher end women that you might run into with your social circles.

So the prince pretending to be a pauper will only go so far for so long.

A man's GAME - his psychological strategy and actions - has to be stronger than her desire to be chaste for a potential provider. She needs to be reacting more to your behavior and the vibe you create with her, than your trappings.

Obviously you need to start screening chicks more heavily, ESPECIALLY if it's a short term thing. Plenty of good earning men have had a "slip up" with a less than savory woman that was good for the moment - but in no way should have been the primary teacher for his first child.
Kids need way more than "love" to become smart and successful adults.

This is my main strategy else, most chicks here would either try to "milk" me or play the long game.

I can confirm this. It can give you a different vibe from the others. And it's a great subject to discuss, from there you can go about adventures, risky things, emotions, etc. Another aspect is that everybody can afford one, and there are so many guys buying it just to impress/pick up girls. You still need game.

Risking life is a part of it. Very enjoyable tho.

Can't you just tell them that you like a girl with her own money? Or is that a fool-proof way into her autorejecting?

I used to drive a $50K car. I bought it used, so paid a fraction of that, but it was a great car. I haven't owned a car in a decade... hope never to again. Mass transit's the way for me. But I can tell you what it was like in my car-owning days.

At the time, I was mostly picking up in bars and nightclubs. It was dark, and girls would be a little buzzed or drunk, and I'd get comments about it but usually it didn't affect things. However, with some girls it hurt.

Basically the rule was, if she had a professional job, she didn't care. She wouldn't comment on the car at all, and I guess was used to seeing guys with one like that. I could pick her up at a nightclub and drive her back to my place, or have her follow my car in hers, and we'd go to bed. No negative effect.

However, if she did not have a professional job, that's when I'd get girls flipping out about my car. Not always, but sometimes. Some of them would say, "Is THIS your car?" or "I didn't know you had a car like this." At that point it'd get chaotic. Some girls put the brakes on hard; some girls cooled off (auto-rejection). Occasionally they'd get a lot looser with me.

I took to viewing my car as a wild card it was better not to play if I didn't have to. So I'd try to get dates to pick me up in their cars or just meet me within walking distance of my place. Then if we were doing something outside the apartment we'd walk to somewhere nearby then walk back to my place at the end of the date, with my car tucked safely out in the apartment building parking lot, them never knowing which car was mine.

Here's a study on cars and attraction. The kind of cars women claim are most attractive to them are pickup trucks, and the most attractive brand is Ford. Their favorite color was black. So I guess get a black Ford pickup truck if you want to max out your car-based attractiveness. Men, as you might expect, are most attracted to women driving red BMW sports cars.

If you really want to use a car for pickups though, I'd go the $200K car route -- grab a Lambo or Ferrari. Just watch how these girls react when Vitaliy drives around in his Lambo... it's hilarious. He doesn't use words and they can't help getting in his car anyway.

I always thought it might be fun to rent one for a week and drive around with it and see what you can't pull off.

Might be worth "trying before you buy" if you're weighing grabbing a car just for pickup.

+1 to Skills' motorcycle suggestion. Have had so many guys both inside and outside the seduction community tell me how much easier it got to get laid once they had motorcycles. Supposedly the easiest bar pull in the world... "Hey how about we go for a spin on my motorcycle?" If you know how arousal works, you know how pumped up she'll be after a ride on that thing, too.

Another pov that should be mentioned is that the car can be seen as an experience. In this moment I'm planning to buy some hp+ car with a good sound, firstly because I like it and I would feel awesome in one, and after that I'm sure others will have the same experience.

If you're more of an adventurous guy, with access to offroads, that can be an awesome experience also(offroads, forests, mountains, panoramic view). My ex had a car and we sometimes had a spountaneus city breaks, 2-3h+ drive(to sea, mountain, another country). It keeps the excitement, and the sex in a dark place, maybe winter is so much fun.

I don't worry about being bf material as long as I have fun.

Wow! I didn't consider the motorcyle route myself, because I was just always a car guy. I could totally see how giving a girl a ride on a motorcycle would give you an advantage.

Especially if you're into girls who are part of that world already - i.e. bartenders, tattooed girls, girls who've had biker boyfriends before, etc.

For all you fellow broke fellas living in an urban setting, those rentable electric scooters are great for boosting arousal too if you can't afford a motorcycle.

My entire family drives convertible mustangs. I also have some classic cars.

I usually go out and enjoy getting drunk so don’t find myself driving them when out with women.

It’s almost a status symbol in my area if you have parking for them, so there is that.

For the classic cars yeah. Nice part about old cars is to drive them you have to leave em running for abit, and you can’t be a pussy driving them.

Definitely when I park it in the main strip area in the summer late night. Women take pictures and try to talk there talk, but I’m usually doing my own thing anyways and it’s just noise in my background.

added note:

My car I use as my go to work is a 1999 Toyota Corolla and on first dates I use it to screen if I have to pick her up. Thought somebody might ask how I do first dates if I have to pick her up.

Also @Skills , you missed an R in your signature. Over 2000 posts and you never noticed? Guess your Skills don't include attention to detail ;)
