What am I doing wrong?

[djmcmath]

From the window of my apartment, I can see my complex's "car wash" area. I know my neighbors well enough to recognize the gorgeous young blonde who's washing the car as the girlfriend of the owner of said car, which is a riced-up purple Chevy Cav.

So what am I doing wrong? How is it that the marginally effeminate owner of a purple Chevy Cavalier can persuade an attractive woman to perform favors, but I can't even find marginally effeminate women to join me for coffee? Just this morning's totally random thought...

PS -- before anybody asks, no I don't have a digital camera, so there's no pix.

You have to look at it from the female's perspective: What can this guy offer me that makes ME feel good...what do I want from him?

Obviously the ricer guy in the Cavalier appeals to her in some way, answers one of her "needs".

All women are different though.... find one that can use what you are selling. One that appreciates what you have to offer.

it isn't what you are doing that is wrong, it's wrong what she is doing. just fire up that porsche, after smearing it with mud, and drive right over to her and tell her you would take her out for a nice dinner if she would clean yours for you. works every time.

don't forget, her previous boyfriend had a renault.

I dunno, a Chevy Cavalier is a pretty sweet ride.

Maybe you need to upgrade to a 996?

[TSNAPCRACKLEPOP]

ask her for a pix

He has a big schwantz that looks like a telephone pole and is just as hard. Somebody had to stop beating around the bush and come out and say it.

[TSNAPCRACKLEPOP]

he drives the weinermobile?

beating around her bush?

[djmcmath]

Sonic, you are way too serious for an off-topic discussion. Please keep those informative and useful posts in the "technical discussion" forum where they belong, lest ye draw the attention of the moderator.

I guess now I have an excuse to upgrade, eh? I suppose chicks aren't impressed by a 3.6 and Big Reds, are they, though. Suppose a chick'd be even less thrilled with RS carpets and a car with no stereo, no AC, racing seats ...

One of the most succesful ass bandits I ever knew saying was, "Chase them until they catch you." This fellow was far from good looking, but smooth as they came. He never said anything inappropriate and always had a smile ready.

What he would have done is pull his car into the wash area and started to fumble around a bit with just a pleasant hello and a nod. He would have looked just a little disorganized and needy. He would have let her start the conversation and would have kept her at just the right distance until she couldn't stand it. He would have had her in the Porsche and down the road in 30 minutes.

This guy scored every time. In his day, it was a '58 Corvette.

Actually, your Red 911 may be working against you. Some chix get intimidated by a smooth guy in a hot car.... and sometimes, as Zeke noted above, its better to 'sneak up on them' with your personal smoothness first, then hit her with the car (not literally of course).

If you roll up in the Red 911...it can only be downhill from there as you will have a lot to live up to. eh?

[TSNAPCRACKLEPOP]

you could tell the lady you just bought it and need stickshift lessons

[motion]

2 things:

1. Sense of humor
2. Keep em guessing

That's all you need to know.

please remember that this advice is coming from a bunch of porsche nuts sitting at home on a computer on saturdAY nite!!!!! lol,

i am showering, changing the sheets, heading out to the club, the rich guys should have loosened them up with drinks by the time i arrive.!!

[djmcmath]

T-Snap -- that's an excellent point. I'm going to go shower, then have some beer with dinner down in town.

Sonic -- you're probably completely right, which probably explains some things. Girls tend to be both shocked and surprised when they discover I drive a 911. Some of my friends who haven't been fortunate enough to catch me in it yet still don't know if I'm joking or not. Perhaps the problem is deeper than whether or not a girl like the Porsche?


Colin ... you're not suggesting I upgrade to a Chevy Cavalier, are you? If I sold my 911, I could more than afford a nice Cav, complete with Turbo and a bigger 4-cyl engine. Maybe I could even find one in a good color, like hot fuschia? Hmm, surely that would solve the problems with women.

Actually, the stupid thing is that I didn't buy the car to impress anybody -- I bought the car because there's no feeling in the whole wide world quite like throwing that baby into a corner and coming out on top. There's nothing that makes me grin wide like pushing on the loud pedal and feeling the my seat wrap around me as the world rushes past in a "hyperspace"-like blur.


...


But thanks for the support, guys. It's nice to know I can open up out here. Now, I'm going to shower up, stop worrying about tuning my suspension just exactly right, and go have a beer over dinner.

i sincerely hope you run into a cutie who tunes your suspension.

looks like Zeke is being modest again!

and yes, a "fancy" car can be a detriment when it comes to attracting members of the fairer sex. chicks are easily intimidated, even the really hot ones
