Does buying a Porsche get you laid? Discuss..
Discussion
I must protest Gents, even being currently a Porsche driver, there can be no finer totty puller than the marque displayed by the good man Brendan, whose modest and subtle silver tongued lines are enough to charm even the most blue-blooded birds down from the trees!

Not really.
How can they tell if you meet them on a night out? It's not like you're going to introduce yourself as a Porsche owner! (well, actually i imagine some people do but i'm cringing too much thinking about it to give it any more consideration)
Even at the end of an evening / after lots of talk you're not going to casually slip it into the conversation without sounding like a knob.
Far better to not let on that you have a nice car, pull using wit/charm/intellect/vodka chasers/rohypnol and then it's a nice suprise for them in the morning when you drop them off
Although it is difficult with only 2 seats if there's more than one = multiple trips.

In my opinion the straight answer to your question is yes. I do know some women who (jokingly but also truthfully) are swayed by this. However I have to say I am definitely not attracted to them. Everyone buys a car for their own reasons and there is no denying a car is perceived by many in that way, but for my tastes it is a truly sad motivation if it is the motivation for buying a car.
Personally I would be appalled with any woman swayed by such a thing. Really utterly meaningless what car you drive, I have 2 cars too so do I look more of a man in the porker ? Doubt it, most people just think w&nker when they see a porker - unless they know cars, which is 90% men and attracting other men is not my bag. I love my car because it is the best in the world at what it does and that's it - end of. In fact my girlfriend would far rather I had a VW Beatle, probably pink if she had half the chance

well the rangie keys jangling at the end of the bar left me with no other option than the pub alsation, and Ive already swore not to go there ever again.
I even tried the cruise round town with tunes full blast, windows down, winking like a tiger at all the hotties, again, the rangie just dont do it for them, in the 911, well, thats a totally different story, stick of with beating shitty them, comes to mind, not neccisarily in that order.
sorry got to go, some girl on the phone asking me to take her out in the porsche again, and "erm you know, like last time" pah, wonder if her sisters free though :rubchin:

But what percentage of relationships are actually started out from a night out?
Most couples I know initially met through friends/work or other social activities where each person had a fair idea about the other person before they sealed the deal.
Glad to see the banter continues apace. It's made my week getting jibes from a C-class Merc driver!? Isn't that the A-class merc with a boot? No wonder he's angry at me, spending all that money buying under aged girls in bars a drink before you dump them in the woods afterwards. Next to the AMG badge will no doubt be a bumper sticker with 'I've got sweets in my car!' as he cruises schools.. Well the social experiment continues, I've never actually used 'Hi I drive a porsche' as an opening line but will have to give it a go. To be fair they're normally introducing themselves to 'me' first... (heh heh) Pin stripe suits in city bars, all you need to do is look for the essex girls in 'party dresses' and you know they've made a special trip to the city to pull a 'rich boy'. Buy a bottle of champagne, order up a couple of cigars with the boys and you could chuck a jam jar in a wasps nest and get less of a swarm! As you get your wallet out for the next round you mention you can't get too hammered because you're taking the porker in for a service and your porker will be well and truly be in for a service before the sun comes up..
yeess, good lad, another man joins the 'social experiment'.. !
Forget NCAP ratings or the TopGear car survey, this is much more interesting.
I suppose that's a fair point and not to exclude our poor married fellas, I'm guessing when you're wearing the old ball n chain it could have the reverse effect when purchasing your Stuttgart beauty.
