$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Roy', 'M')any of us here, especially American men, would probably say that their personal experience mirrors the guy in the article. Mine certainly does, having owned numerous "beater" cars. When I bought my first new car, an Acura way back when, my dating opportunities increased exponentially. I couldn't believe it. It was like I went from being Don Knott to Brad Pitt. Well, almost.

That's a site I've read off and on for a long time and the guy, while not politically correct, is usually right on the money when it comes to many American women.
I consider myself extremely fortunate to have met a wonderful woman (after I bought the Acura) who chose number two at the end of the article... Me.
In my dating experience she;s the only one I ever met who wasn't materialistic to the core.
They're out there but unfortunately for many of us "regular guys", they're few and far between.
Arconian, keep an open mind. The next woman you meet might be the 1 in 20 (my personal anecdotal ratio) that actually does care about you, and not what you have. Believe me, they're out there.
Good luck and keep your chin up buddy.
Aaron, I agree. And I will go one step further and postulate that the desire to mate has driven just about every destructive behavior perpetrated by men. Am I a Freudian?
Everything's geared to maximizing personal wealth. IE: Who cares if I cut down a forest if it makes me rich? Then when I'm rich I'll get all the supermodel chicks!!!
It makes perfect (dollars and) cents.
Forgive an incorrigible cynic, but you yourself said you met her after you bought the Acura
. And did she really choose you over a multi-millionaire?
Ofcourse; most women and I would many men too are pretty much materialistic these days. That does not mean they cannot be good people.
