How important is the car you drive in terms of SMV?

FereallyRed · 2020-01-20T21:18:04+00:00

I have an 17 year old Honda CR-V that lives outside, is covered in scratches and has moss growing on it.

I have two nice Mercedes coupes, one's a hardtop convertible and the other is a 600 hp sleeper.

I have two supercars, a Lambo and an Aston.

For the most part, women don't care. There are very few places that you can actually park your car in front of in view of the crowd, so you are rarely associated with your vehicle by women.

And any woman you pick up is by definition interested in you, not your car, so it's a moot point there too.

There is a beachfront bar that does like to have nice cars parked directly in front of the place, in full view of the patio crowd, so you can flex there and hook a gold digger, but there's no "game" in that... she'll fuck you because you have money. Nothing wrong with that as long as you understand.

Women for the most part don't care about cars other than with respect to their utility, they're like toasters to them. I show up in the mossmobile to most first dates.

Don't blow money on a car, especially a new one, thinking it'll make you "cool with the ladies".

Imagine your 10/10 girl. She drives a Prius. Do you care?

Don’t buy stuff to impress people you don’t even know.

Your car or lack of would only drive away gold diggers/women who want to BB you at the very best but typically they know engineers make good money regardless of what they have to show for it so I doubt even driving them away.

Nobody cares about your car. You are young, just out of college.

What’s more important is you changing your money habits and stop impulse buying.

I’ve bought a new M3 3 years ago. Did nothing for my SMV vs a nice Honda Accord.

Someone hasn’t read the side bar. Take your salary, pay off your loans ASAP, invest some, live simple. Goal Is to get your investments and have financial security. Then you can play the game.

New car right out of college is a debt trap many people make. If you have one that works, get it detailed, do all the preventative maintenance, and drive it into the ground. $400-$500 a month after 3 months is enough for a week vacation in many places of the world.

It changes a little, but not as much as you think would being 10-14% body fat, clothes that are somewhat fashionable but fit properly, your mannerisms, and what you do for fun/who are you as a person.

I've never in my life seen an ugly woman in the right seat of an expensive car. All of them were st least 7.5 on thr HB scale.

But cars are so fucking awesome dude. Driving well made cars is pure fucking pleasure. Don't base your decision om what a woman will think about the car that you want.

There’s dudes without cars that get ass on command

Fancy cars are only important to gold diggers and girls that are into car culture.

Depends where you live. Western Canada and some parts of US having a truck definitely makes pussies wet. Revs those cowgirl sluts real good too. Plenty of space to fuck in too.

From my experience as a 25 year old with a nice car (comparative to other people my age), a lot of it depends on just that: how you compare to others in your age range. I bought a new Subaru BRZ in 2017 which is by no means a “luxury” car, but compared to my friends and other people I’ve talked to/hung out with in my age range, I have the nicest car, so that increases my SMV a tad.

YMMV but obviously the general idea is Nicer car == More Money == Better opportunity to provide for someone else. Just buy a car you like because YOU like it. Don’t be one of those guys that buys things just to impress people. A car is way too big of a financial investment to do that with.

If the girl is into cars she's probably only in to the badges. IE she's into guys who drive BMWs, but she would have no clue if it's new or not. So you can get an older one and still get the pop.

It's mostly for her friends anyways. Like when she's talking to her friends about you, "he drives a (whatever).

Now that said, couple summers ago I did buy a Challenger and I felt it helped me fuck because it was congruent with my vibe. My buddy got a Range Rover a year ago and it hasn't helped him get laid at all.

So I think they can help but it's sort of a margin thing.

(I have had, on several occasions, a girl say to me "you're so much hotter when you pick me up in your cool car", so I guess it's a thing.)

Its nice but it won't solve anything if you can't pull girls to begin with. Also, better cars means higher insurance, higher maintenance cost, etc. I'd rather use the extra money spent on a nice car for events and trips cus

Experience is worth more than material goods.

I drive a Mercedes as my weekend car. The rest of the time I’m in my work truck, it’s free and gas is paid. The car has minimal if any impact on your smv.

ReaperX44 · 2020-01-20T20:38:09+00:00

Why can't you get a 2011 m3? It doesn't have to be new. At the end of the day, get a car you think will make you happy. Don't do it because you think women will love it, get it because you want it.

Gawernator · 2020-01-21T03:28:57+00:00

Matters almost nothing. The only girls that will actually care will be gold diggers. I drive a 2017 VW Golf

Mobavvaly · 2020-01-21T05:55:15+00:00

I'm a green P plate driver in Australia which when someone has a green plate here its assumed they are quite young. I drive a Range Rover and it literally breaks necks when other people see it. Not because it's a Range Rover, there's ton of them. But because it's rare to see someone young drive a luxury car. Just the other day when I was parking a white girl in her Audi was trying to flirt with me as I was leaving my parking space. I've also had tons of girls basically throw themselves at me because of this. It definetly increases smv.

Look at used cars like the q70/q60(around 15k). I agree with paying off your debt first so set up a budget of what your willing to spend and get something you like.

Anyone saying a car dosnt affect your smv is kidding themselves, a nice car will raise your smv slightly to both men and women

The_Worlds_End · 2020-01-20T20:38:05+00:00

Any component of SMV is only as important and relevant as you make it

pyth0ns · 2020-01-20T21:12:01+00:00

Back when I was 19/20, I worked my ass off in 2 jobs to buy myself an Alfa Romeo.
This was when I had no game, thought it was rude to be sexual/flirt with women and being honest here... If I were a woman I would not have even looked at me let alone f**k me.

And yet... Little bitch boy me, managed to slay a bunch of chicks solely because I had an Alfa Romeo!
