Ferraris and women

One of many things my group of friends has stated over the years in this regard:
Money buys Looks;
Looks buys Money.

I appalled a couple of them about a decade ago, after one of those enlightnening relationships, by expressing my newfound acceptance of GDs as rentals - Since it's essentially a hooker, it sure cuts out the Drama/Box games. Although it's never discussed, it's understood that we each have our currency, and if she wants more than I'll pay for exactly what I want in return, she's gone.
Just don't actually call them hookers by mistake, no matter how blatant or obvious she is.

Someday, I'll find one worth the time and effort, like hardtop did. I hear that there's almost half a dozen (singles!!!) in the U.S alone!!

 

I married a Carioca.....as did a few other regular posters here.....think we have 4-5 of us who did in fact.

 

LOL! If it makes you guys feel any better, it works exactly the same in reverse...usually I see the disappearing side of a bloke when he realises I'm not rich because I have a 308, I'm POOR because I have a 308 to care for. Ex-husband used to complain I loved my car more than him; my response "It's more reliable than you are!"

 

I love it, thanks for posting lyrics and link!

Just the other day, my wife and I were talking about two very good-looking female friends and their mate- changing tendencies, this song came up as a relevant 60's memory.

 

Mods please move to the soft porn section thx.

I don't know any women who own or drive a Ferrari. If I met one I think I would propose to her on sight.

Regarding the OP, as others have said, if you start conversations with "My Ferrari" you're a gold-digger magnet. You should, and can easily, keep your car out of the picture, by having a daily driver that is nice but not over the top. If you show up for a dinner date in your Ferrari, wearing your Rolex and talking about your indoor pool, you've made it clear you're all about money and material things.

 

I've driven past an attractive blonde on a couple of occasions in RSF driving a red 355 - she makes a point to wave when she sees me in the 348, so she recognizes a "fellow Ferrari." Try there.

 

Did you get anything out of these relationships???
I recall a funny Seinfeld scene when Jerry was comtemplating whether to date a woman based physical attraction:
Jerry: "But Kramer there's always a price to pay in those relationships."
Kramer: "You should pay that price."

My cynical view- In the animal kingdom the female mates w/ the stongest male to ensure her survival.

 

LOL. If it was a Jeep or a series III E-type, that would be a low blow.

The girl who can *maintain* a Ferrari --- *THAT's* the "keeper".
(A "Tinker Belle"? )


It's hard to tell what will trigger a golddigger. (I guess there are levels of golddigger.)
I had one date gush over what a nice car I had. When it was a rental Chrysler.
(Fool's Gold digger?)

 

its not cynical its reality. Above all women seek powerful men w leadership qualities, these are the most attractive as they also boost her status and ensure her survival and her childs

of course $ is just another kind of power

but its always best if she discovers your power bcus if you tell her you come off as weak

 

Man you guys have to get out SB, LA, NYC, etc. Personal advice, find one with a job, a degree and who has been out on her own for a few years paying her own way. Don't go nuts buying presents or showing off your wealth (if you have any). If she expects you to pay for everything and to buy her goods at every holiday and made up anniversary, move along!

My wife doesn't care if she gets anything more than a card for Valentine's Day. She has two degrees and is/was very self-sufficient and quite pretty. For our anniversary, dinner is a big deal. She puts up with my car fetish and likes to drive the 308. Found her at work; not clubbing, bar hopping, or partying. Plus she a mid-west girl, not a jaded Urbanite. You guys are just looking in all the wrong places and for the wrong qualities.

 

It just takes time to learn whether someone you are with wants you or your money. I guess that's the flip side of us women trying to figure out if a guy actually likes us or just wants to get laid. If dating were easy we'd all marry the perfect person at the age of 18.

 

I think the best women come from small towns in S America, E Europe, Asia, and Oz

They can be hard working, very hot, and very grateful. They also covet American men

 

One of my favorite songs!

 

+1 to that.


Many, not all, American women are out-to-lunch outta their minds and jaded. Then again, living in Las Vegas does not help this perception. This is the capital of bad dating and gold digging. Thank God I am married to a keeper (Korean girl raised in the US for the most part).

 

Great material in this thread....

 

No wonder some of you guys find it hard to get ladies...

 

You still have the '89 Toyota pickup? Can I borrow it?? Just for a little while...

 

Of course, the corollary to the above is that a guy will get the prettiest girl his bank account can entice.

Works both ways, doesn't it??

 

I know Warren Buffet, Ted Turner, Paul Allen and others have nice harems

 

Always keep the 308 out of sight until I feel comfortable with the person (obviously I'm still a lousy judge!) and definately NOT flashy (LOL! If you talked to the Aus section guys they'd crack up at the idea of me boasting about anything material), but it has still happened. Favourite bloke at present is one who burst out laughing when after 3 dates and talk about my 'Big Fiat' he finally realised what it was!

 

From reading this thread, sure am glad it got married in 71! You guys have my sympathy, because life has sure become sh1tty for you.

Still GD's, just cheaper version due to the exchange rate.

 

even better, you can afford a few and make them do ever more depraved acts

 

I just love a happy story.
