Who knew the mini was so attractive to men? I know Trixie is cute but 3 men stopped me this week to comment and ask questions about her. This never happened with my Celica and Prelude. Today a guy told me "I've been drooling over your car ever since I saw it in the parking lot." That's a benefit I didn't expect....so much positive attention from the men. And whenever asked any question, I can't help but smile and gush about my car. I bet Trixie will land my next date.....she is one cute little vixen! I love my mini!!!

Not only hotter but it's the "in thing" right now.
Similar to a "hot" guy or gal in a porsche or corvette without the high pricetag.
I bet the Miata, Saturn Sky, Solstice, VW cabrio, etc folks say the same thing.

We parked next to a cute Yellow Cooper last week, when we got back to my MINI, we found it was being checked out by a lovely young lady. Turns out that she was the owner of the Yellow Cooper, and was trying to figure out what made my car look like it was 'ready for battle' compared to hers that 'was ready to go to the mall'.
My wife was not exactly comfortable with the attention that the MINI and its driver was getting from a 'hottie' and questioned if that is 'normal'. Obviously I denied it

I'm not surprised by this at all. You see, I have a theory (which means, prepare to be bored): The MINI is a welcoming car. It looks friendly. It is unusual. It is not threatening. The observer then attributes these qualities to the owner...they too must be welcoming. Approachable. Clearly not trying to compensate for anything with a car that small! So they stop to chat. Before you know it, you've made a friend, a date, a spouse, a stalker...
The effect is best summed up by Jack's line in "Sideways": I get chicks looking at me all the time, of all ages. Dudes too!

I agree with you however you missed the number one reason a Mini gets so much attention.....It is a cute car!! You cannot look at this car and not smile. You cannot drive this car and not smile. When you smile you are more attractive. Therefore the Mini makes you attractive....makes you smile!

.That said - show me a single woman with a mini, and I'll show her a good time!

Very true, Professor! That is until they get close enough to see my window stickers, lol... The good folks give me a wave or thumbs up. ;-)

I do see how it can be a good ice breaker though.
