I found that part interesting. Are men really looking for marriage partners?

[RandallFlagg]

What about Jeeps?

[Eddie01]

No, Corvette’s do.

Blue Oyster Cult addressed that in their song “Golden Age Of Leather”:

For this fantastic night was billed
As nothing less than the end of an age
A last crusade
A final outrage
In this day of flaccid plumage
And there was worn no cloth but leather
Made supple by years of stinging cinders

I’ll take the polished chrome and worn leather, thanks.

signs of money and power are to women what T&A are to men -- they completely override the rationale faculties. Any woman with any sense knows the guy with the porsche is most likely a self-worshipping twirp, but she can't help wanting him all the same. She'll hate him as much much as she thinks she needs him.

Ahhh, the classic question.

What's the difference between a Porsche and a porcupine?

Answer in white: In a porcupine the pricks are on the outside.

[Red Badger]

Maybe this would work better.............

While finding that men may use conspicuous consumption as a short-term mating signal, the researchers discovered that women don't behave in the same manner and don’t conspicuously spend to attract men.

How dumb is this statement?

Of course women don't conspicuously spend on things like cars to attract men. On the other hand, most men I know don't dress in skin-tight, form-fitting, and low cut clothing either. Don't women conspicuously dress like this to attract men? Sheesh.

I’ve owned so many cars I can’t count them. A Carrera I had was a blast to drive. I did not buy it for babes. Don’t need a car for that. I bought it because it was fun to drive. I have some other high performance cars but usually drive a pickup daily.

Some women are in to the “stuff”. The fun ones are the ones don’t care. I like hearing “what is a rolex?” when they ask about one of my watches.

All women are in to money. They may say they are not but that is a lie. And they all love “white things” aka diamonds.

The best gift you can give to a woman besides some things I won’t describe cuz I’ll get banned is to simply listen to them. Women love knowing that you have been listening. If they mention they like something even in passing wait a bit then give it to them. Could be something inexpensive like leaving the toilet configured to whatever. Paying attention is a big deal.

Yes. At some point, most women quit looking at the bulge in the front of your pants and start looking at the bulge in your back pocket.

“metrosexuals drive porsches.....”

NOPE. Metros drive Prius, Lexus, Mini, convertible Mercedes, etc

So, if you want women who just want sex, get a Porsche. Is that what this article is saying?

After a couple of dates, she'll be pestering you to get married and after a few months of marriage to get an SUV.

Money, as represented by an expensive car or other things, is a true aphrodisiac. This does not need much debate and can not be disputed. It doesn't mean a woman is necessarily a gold digger, but at an instinctive level, where the sex drive resides, having money indicates the the man is potentially a good provider. No great insight is required to understand this.

Other true aphrodisiacs are alcohol, and, believe it or not, a ride on a roller coaster.

That one ALWAYS cracks me up! (No pun intended.)

"But the anticipation of romance doesn't trigger flashy spending (in women) as it does with some men."

Women spend big bucks on cloths, jewelry, make-up, hair, nails, fake tans, bigger boobs for what then?

I think this new ad campaign will be even more successful than: “There is no substitute.”
