[QUOTE=Malacandra] Where’s the downside? 😛 [/QUOTE] Nyah. Smart-ass. I didn’t say there was one! Except maybe for the guy who we _do_ eventually marry. ---

Har. I was glad you said this… [QUOTE=phouka] I apparently summoned and channeled the spirit of my sixty-two year old mother [/QUOTE] …because earlier, when you said this… > [@](#): > > _I pointed out that $50K will get you a most awesome trip-around-the-world, a third of a decent starter house in our area, five or more years of extra retirement if invested now, ten arks of livestock through [heifer.org](http://heifer.org), a bachelor’s degree worth of tuition at a state university, and any number of other things with more value than a rolling pussy magnet._ …I said to myself, “Yes! Her momma raised her right.” 😃 ---

La Gasolina\* came out and was on the radio pretty much 20/7 (the other 4/7 being ads) when I was in Costa Rica. I asked one of the local guys what it was about, to verify I’d understood it correctly. He said that yes, it’s about chicks who rate you based only on what car you have. I said “so, they’ll only go out with you if you have an expensive car or if you’re a foreigner?” “_sigh_ yeah” “and these are the same chicks who always choose the sorriest-looking guy in a group of foreigners, thinking he’s the one most likely to fall for some pussy and take them abroad to a life of daily manicures” “😃 yeah :D” “riiiiiiiite :rolleyes:” - for those of you who haven’t enjoyed the lyrics, the booty girls repeat the line “give me more gasoline, give me more gasoline” and occasionally say “oh daddy, give me more gasoline” ---

[QUOTE=Quiddity Glomfuster] Granted, if you’re about quantity rather than quality, that may be the case. But how dull. [/QUOTE] I would tend to think that quality girls would be interested in things such as nicer clothes, hygiene, or their partner’s upkeep. It is not shallow to care about how a prospective mate takes care of themselves. It is silly to think that a man is after quantity rather than quality if he wears a nice polo (or what have you) instead of some stained undershirt. Regarding “Joe”, it is highly likely that his new car will get him laid quite a bit. Hell, he is probably getting laid frequently off his looks alone. The OP is testament to this face, since it seems likely **phouka** would have been ready to pursue a further relationship if he had shown any interest in her (and kept his mouth shut). There are many girls that are not near as discriminating as that. ---

[QUOTE=DrDeth] I’d buy a chick magnet car too if I had large foolish amounts of cash to throw around. It is true I am smart enough to buy more important things first but still- _chick magnet cars work._ ☹ [/QUOTE] Well I’m a slut, and a cute little slut at that, but I don’t give a flighting fuck what somebodes drives. He could take the bus as long as he comes home and screws my brains out. I don’t get this car thing at all. ---

It was on all the time on the like half dozen Reggaeton stations there were in Puerto Rico when I was there. I totally got into Reggaeton down in PR. It probably helps that I could only partially understand the words. The beats are better than most mainstream hip hop and at least they make their own music rather than pulling a P. Diddy and looping some famous clip over stale beats. **Anaamika** I know it’s fun to fantasize as though women aren’t going to marry this guy, but I bet he’ll get married, possibly even several times. ---

But not girls like me. Then again, I wouldn’t sleep with someone because of their car, anyway. Not that I don’t have my shallow reasons for sleeping with someone! Just material possessions don’t do it for me. ---
