A lot has been posted about women noticing a man's car etc. Would like to pose the reverse question to men... if you had a cheap car and you noticed that she showed up in a new BMW/Mercedes/Lexus would you feel inadequate in any way because of that?

I'd be more apt to notice whether she had the inside of her car clean, and if she was a slob or not.

No problems what so ever; unless it was an automatic transmission.

Many women I have dated drove better cars than I did. I didn't bother me, and it didn't seem to bother them.

Most all the girls I have dated in the recent past have had cars that were of similar "luxury" to mine though they were much newer. If I had a match that was wheeling around in a BMW / Mercedes / Lexus I would evaluate the car against what their occupation was and decide if they could actually afford that kind of car. This would be an indication of their view of financial responsibility.

Also when we went out I would tell them that they are driving. I would pay for the gas though.

On another note with respect to the girls noticing what the guy drives (you did mention that in this tread). The girl that I have been going with for the past couple of months, and has been riding in my car since our second date, just noticed that I have a two door car. This would seem to indicate that she is not all that interested in what I drive as long as it is safe and reasonably clean.

Her having a more expensive, luxurious car wouldn't affect me at all. Actually, I think it would be way cool.

It wouldn't bother me. The deal breaker would be if it bothers HER that it DOESN'T bother me.

I had a date last year with a woman in Palm Springs (she was from eHarmony Advice actually!) and she showed up in a new 2008 Mercedes Benz ML.

But when she complained about the $98 fill up when she got gas for it, I knew she didn't own it.


It was leased.

She admitted it. And said she couldn't afford it.

It makes absolutely no difference to me whether a woman drives a fancy car, an 18-wheeler or a 747 -- unless she defines herself in terms of what she drives or uses her vehicle as a status symbol. In that case, I would question her values and sense of self-worth.
