“Have you ever thought that you stand a better chance to woo a girl by going green?”

If she’s that naive, things will become tedious very quickly.

Women are attracted to men that are confident in the choices that they make—whether a green car or sports car. Confidence is the key.

Did the poll state whether the women were single or double baggers?

Do Priuses with pro-abortion stickers count too ? Who am I kidding, it’s prolly extra credit.

Anything one “does to attract a mate” usually wins, but that mate leave them for the first _real_ man or woman to come through the door.

To sell us the Greenery preying on our lonliness proves to me that the same marketting company behind “girls gone wild” are now sitting in Gore’s office penning a contract.

On a quick side note about bicyclists, I got tangled up in a crowd of them riding down a mountain pass, me on my 1200cc sport bike.

They are @$$holes, and the swarmed my 600 pound motorized machine as if I too was on a 10 speed. Talking to me, surrounding me on all sides.

I kicked at them to get them away from me, they called me a few choice names and ultimately got out of the way when I blapped them with my exhaust.

Sure, I would chat with such a guy. I’ve got some great deals to offer such an obvious sucker.

I think that may work both ways.

“Dude, let me borrow your Prius...I think I can get lucky tonight with this girl who thinks I’m into the environment.”

BULL BUTTER!!!

Where did they take this survey? Berkley college coffehouse?

Maybe they like guys that drive Prius’s so they will have someone to help them pick out curtains and talk about their relationships with.

If nothing works, then Dr Jain's warning would perhaps do, "We have only eight years to save the earth from extinction".

Eeeeeasy there, Captain Hyperbole.

It's a wonder that people can make these statements, get quoted, and not have a soul call them out on it.

Let’s say a girl has they choice of chatting with a Prius owner and a Lamborghini owner. Which one do you think she will pick?

BS. Most women who would be influenced by the car you drive, base it on value. I’m willing to bet money that a guy who is driving a new Corvette ZR1 is going to get more action than a guy driving a Prius.

Also, any woman who is attracted to you for your choice of car isn’t a woman you want for anything more than a fling.

“Women are attracted to men that are confident in the choices that they make—whether a green car or sports car. Confidence is the key.”

Drive your Prius to one party with confidence and your Testarosa to another party with the same confidence and get back to me on which car sparked the most interest in you from women.

The question is “why” would a man be remotely attracted to a woman who was so clearly out of touch? Real women exist, and it behooves us to find them. Let the tofu eaters wallow about in their self deluded fantasy of saving the planet ...

How are they defining “green”?

Speaking strictly from my own point of view:

A guy in a sports car appears irresponsible with money, and obsessed with shallow things, trying to make himself look good because he thinks his only value is in “beating the Joneses”. Obviously there’s not enough substance there to be worth my time, he has all the emotional maturity of a 15-year old.

A guy in a compact or economy car is more careful with his day-to-day budget. Not much good in a blizzard, but if he plans to stay in a well-plowed city all his life, he’ll probably do ok. I wish him luck with that.

A guy in a super-expensive hybrid or so-called “green” car? Hippy vegan, not worth my time. I hear enough drivel as it is.

A guy in a new-looking SUV? Irresponsible with money, has some need to either “compensate”, or to trample people down. He’s a jerk already and he hasn’t said a word.

A guy in a pickup truck or SUV with actual mud on the tires? Oh yeah! Someone who won’t get stuck trying to visit my farm. Bonus points if he’s well-groomed but with callouses on his hands. And if he keeps towing gear handy in winter to help pull those other cars out of the ditch. I might be willing to talk to him to see if he meets my other standards.

What was that about “real women”?

Yeah I think the entire story pretty much insults the intelligence and sensibilities of women and really who cares, right? Just as long as the paranoia of global warming continues to be proliferated.

Think about it. First you catch yourself a tofu eater. And then she is berating you NOT to grill any more animal flesh.

And then she is demanding you to sign some petition.

If you can "catch" a woman with a Prius BECAUSE it is Green, you deserve the lifestyle you get stuck with.
