sungrl Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 my b/f mentions he wants to get a new car soon and he would like to get a red 2 seater convertable...to me--guys get that car to get attention and to get girls..isnt that the old cliche? Well i couldnt help thinking exactly that. This may sound stupid but wouldnt this cross your mind (to any girls out there) that your b/f will be getting a lot of attention from this car and this is the type of car that usually you would associate a guy picking up a girl. I know you dont need a car but these things do help(sorry to say) and it just made me feel that way. That this car equals attention. I feel like its an ego boost or something. What do i do...

amaysngrace Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 My first serious BF got rid of his truck to get a red hot rod with a corvette engine because he thought I'd look good driving it. Maybe he's doing it with you in mind. Oh, here's a tip...if you lay wheel, remember to wash off the back corner panels because the rubber stuff comes off the tires when you race the guys when you're out driving his car while he's working the weekend nights in the summer to pay for that car.

Author sungrl Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 i dont drive so that answers that question. I know without a doubt he wouldnt intentionally get a certain car b/c i would look good driving it... Link to post Share on other sites

Author sungrl Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 thats not really the input i was looking for. I dont have one and wont have one for a long time, not due to my age. Link to post Share on other sites
amaysngrace Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Okay well yes, the thought did cross my mind that he was getting the car to get the girls. I got jealous of his car. I admit it. But it was kind of dumb of me really now that I think back on it. I think I liked that car better than he did. You know guys are going to check you out when you're riding with him in that car too?

littlepiggy1 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Maybe he just liked red convertibles? When I was younger I wanted a sportscar coupe too, simply because the things looked cool. Yeah, it's an ego thing, but that doesn't mean he's getting it because he wants to attract pussy. Now that I'm older, I'm settling for good fuel economy. Link to post Share on other sites
LakesideDream Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I went through a "gearhead" stage, and it had nothing whatsoever to do with women. It was about macho stuff. If you are jealous of a car, I can't imagine how you would be with a dog.. or especially a superior feline creature. Get a grip, when you and he are humping happily, the red convertable will be cold and lonely in the garage. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 The first car I bought was a red sports car, and then 'did it all up' on top of that (body mods, paint, low prof. tires etc etc etc) It had nothing to do with anyone, I just liked the car and liked driving it. As for the attention factor I hate attention and want to avoid it as much as I can, I only drove it on quiet country roads. I had a boyfriend at the time and I never let him drive it. I still have it, 10 years later, and still love the car. It's been with me through 2 boyfriends, one girlfriend, and now a husband. My husband can drive it though! Link to post Share on other sites
BeachBlonde Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I don't think you have anything to worry about here...unless he blatantly stated that he's buying a red convertible to pick up chicks...I think he just wants a nice car...nothing wrong with that. And no, that thought wouldn't ever cross my mind, because I trust my boyfriend and don't think he's going to pick up chicks just because he wants to buy a convertible.

My Fair Katie Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 If it makes you feel any better I always thought guys that drove flashy convertibles were compensating for a small penis. Any and all LS male posters who drive a flashy convertible are excluded as they are obviously men of stunning length and girth. Link to post Share on other sites
bridget_jones Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I went through a "gearhead" stage, and it had nothing whatsoever to do with women. It was about macho stuff. If you are jealous of a car, I can't imagine how you would be with a dog.. or especially a superior feline creature. Get a grip, when you and he are humping happily, the red convertable will be cold and lonely in the garage. I hear you about the dog. I went out for about a month in Feb. with this guy with a small black lab. He kept making jokes "Now Stella comes first. she is the first woman in my life." etc. etc. and when she followed him around the house he rubbed it it "Look - that's my GIRL! She loves me!" (I couldn't care less if she followed him to the john.) Dude was 40 years old. Had I not dumped him for something else, that would have had to stop soon. I didn't have the heart to tell him that my sister's black lab is about 10 times cuter and has a better personality, a lot more fun dog. Stella was boring. I like the big labs. I love My Fair Katie's dog! Great pic. Link to post Share on other sites
Enema Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Really depends on the guy. I'm sure some losers do it to pick up girls, the real question is... is your boyfriend a loser? ... ... years before you can get your license because of your age you say? Link to post Share on other sites
tanbark813 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Well what kind of car is it? "red 2 seater convertable" doesn't narrow it down a lot. He might want to buy it for the performance and how it drives. Most guys are more focused on that than on how it looks. Link to post Share on other sites
Author sungrl Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 I dont think it has to do with performance or anything..he isnt driving long distances..i think i would be jealous if he got this car..i kind of cant stand when people have that certain look b/c they have nice nice car or something else(maybe a house, i dunno) but i think its natural to get that certain look even if they are modest. Do girls tend to look at guys when in nice cars and try to talk to them? I can just picture a girl smiling at him and him smiling back or something, i dunno. I only see him about 2-3 days so he would plenty of time in that car without me thee.. I might notice a nice car but i would never smile at the guy in it or anything b/c i just dont want to give a guy that kind of attention b/c of a car. Link to post Share on other sites
tanbark813 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I dont think it has to do with performance or anything.. Again: What kind of car is it?? This makes a big difference. I might notice a nice car but i would never smile at the guy in it or anything b/c i just dont want to give a guy that kind of attention b/c of a car. Then what are you worried about?

amaysngrace Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 The bottom line is we have eyes so we can see. Yeah I notice fine young hotties in nice cars. They look good. So what? Does that mean I'm out banging them in the parking lot behind the building??? No.... Think of it this way, at least he won't be in a monster truck checking out all the girls titties.

Author sungrl Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Im not sure of the exact car--i know a 2 seater, convertible red,..probably a mustang convertible or something..either way convertibles attract girls dont they?? Link to post Share on other sites
melodymatters Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Turn it around. What if you went for a make over : got a great new cut and color, had your make up professionally done, bought a hot new outfit. probably you would get more male attention. Does this mean when you try and make yourself more attractive it means you want to cheat on ,or leave your mate ? Link to post Share on other sites
littlepiggy1 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 i think i would be jealous if he got this car.. Honestly, you've got to figure out why this is making you feel this way and work it out. Is there something that is leading you to think he's buying this car to pick up girls? Has he said anything to suggest that? Does he flirt with other girls? IOW, is it really about him or is it just about you? Because if it's just about you and your own insecurity, you don't want to make it about him and his car. You'll just end up sabotaging your relationship. Link to post Share on other sites
tanbark813 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Im not sure of the exact car--i know a 2 seater, convertible red,..probably a mustang convertible or something..either way convertibles attract girls dont they?? No. Hence why I asked the question. A red Mustang convertible probably would draw female attention, as would a Corvette. (However, Mustangs aren't two seaters.) But a MINI, for example, would likely be more for how fun it is to drive than for female attention (and also isn't a two-seater). And a red, convertible Miata wouldn't get you any female attention but you'd get a TON of attention from gay dudes. Like I said before, the kind of car matters. But if he said specifically, "a red, two-seater convertible" and didn't have a specific model--or models--in mind, then yeah, it's probably for attention. Link to post Share on other sites
Author sungrl Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 here is my next question then...isnt that a BAD sign? its not like he had the car when i met him..he wants to get this attention grabbing car after over 2 years of dating..wouldnt you think of that as a bad sign of a b/f going to get some hot car that draws female attention etc etc Link to post Share on other sites
norajane Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 here is my next question then...isnt that a BAD sign? its not like he had the car when i met him..he wants to get this attention grabbing car after over 2 years of dating..wouldnt you think of that as a bad sign of a b/f going to get some hot car that draws female attention etc etc Maybe he's ALWAYS wanted one, but only now can afford to get one. You really don't have to look at this from the worst possible angle, you know. Sit back, enjoy the ride. Link to post Share on other sites
tanbark813 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Maybe he's ALWAYS wanted one, but only now can afford to get one. Word. If his financial situation has recently improved for whatever reason, then maybe he just wants a new toy. Link to post Share on other sites
littlepiggy1 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 here is my next question then...isnt that a BAD sign? The only bad sign here is that this is even an issue. Guys wanting cool cars is pretty normal behavior. Again, I would highly recommend determining whether this is an issue because of something to do with his behavior (i.e. does he want other girls) or something to do with yourself (i.e. do you have insecurities that you need to address).
