I was told this past weekend that I need to trade my Cooper S in and get a truck and lift it. Then, I guess, the women would like me. You know what my response was?.......If hell freezes over, pigs fly and I have more money Bill gates, I still wouldn't....These people just don't understand do they?

 

Ha!
Ten years ago, I bought a truck with big knobby tires, and had illusions that it'd be a 'chick-magnet'. What I found was that big trucks are actually magnets for pudgy, balding 50-year old guys.

 

Who done seen it wit der two eyes?

 

Keep The Mini, You Will End Up With A Better Girl In The End.

 

I've met & talked to more women standing around looking at my MCS then with any other car I've owned & I've owned some very exotic cars in my life.

 

If you were told this by a friend, I think you need to meet a higher class of friends.

MINI versus Pick-Up Truck.

Kinda like comparing....

Filet Mignon to a Cheeseburger

Jennifer Anniston to Rosanne Barr

Mary J. Blige to Milli Vanilli

Dom Perignon to tap water



Okay, you get the idea.

 

Yeah there's nothing we girls like more than to get all dolled up & then have to hike our dress up to our a$$ so we can climb in some big jacked up truck

 

Up to your WHAT ?? Okay... pickup trucks might not be TOTALLY bad.

 

I hear the same thing from people driving over consuming trucks at my office. Take them for a ride and say "Now watch the fuel gauge".

 

You heard me I dated a redneck in high school. I speak from experience

 

I think we might need some pictures to get the full effect

 

is that if you do that, she'll like your truck! Life is too short for petty crap like that!

So pray tell what sort of loser buys a vehicle based on whether or not it will: 1) make them seem more manly? 2) attract females?

Now what sort of person has to justify their ownership of a particular vehicle by posting it on the web of a car specific site so that they won't feel less of a man and not attrack more females? 1) one who lacks self confidence 2) one who defines themselves by what others think of them or 3) a person who has very low self esteem.

It's very odd that someone would even listen, much less respond (either to whoever said it, or on the web) to people who think a car reflects anything about the owner....and then take it personal. I suppose the orginator of this post doesn't realize they really do care way too much what others think of them in relation to their car and I find the whole situation sadly more common with the individuals inability to stand on their own two feet without the support of others. Can you say Baaaaaaa?

 

Wow, if you can lift a truck, it's no wonder the women would find you irresistible. I, on the other hand, have a bad back and choose not to lift anything heavier than the MINI.

 

Sorry but it was a long time ago & NO cameras were allowed

 

I agree, some people just don't understand! I went to my ex g/f place a few weeks back (she hadn't seen the MINI before) to drop off her belongings.. the first words out of her mouth were "That is ugliest f****** car I have ever seen!" My reply: "Don't worry, you'll never be riding in it." - in a very calm voice. lol

 

The kind of women that are attracted by big pickem-up-trucks should come with their own warning label:

WARNING: Has more siblings than teeth. Keep away from ceiling fans to avoid hair tangling. Contains 3 or more antibiotic-resistant contageous diseases.

 

Why else would the F-150 Harley Davidson truck sell, or lots and lots and lots of vehicles. Unfortunantly, many agree whit what Agassi said in those Canon Rebel adds..... "Image is everything".

So to answer you question, lots and lots and lots. And they are called the American People!

such as?

 

what an odd thread???? why would you care what someone else says a real man thinks for himself.

 

I'm a fairly tall guy (6'-2") and i always laugh and make fun of those guys who are like 5'-5" or so and drive a lifted truck. trying to make up for something are we?

 

I couldn't agree more!! If I need to take a running leap to get into your vehicle, I'm not interested.

 

Good response.

I would beware of anyone who doesn't like a MINI. Sort of like people who flat out don't like animals... You don't have to love them or own one, but if you really can't stand them, there's something not quite right about you.

 

Right... my MINI is cuter than a kitten and tougher than a Pit Bull.

What's not to love ???

 

here here! my wife will tell you that one of things she was most attracted to when we met was the fact that I didn't give a damn what other people thought of me. I had a Honda CRX and a (stock) Jeep Wrangler and didn't need to own a BMW, or worse, a turdmissile Camaro to have self-esteem.

to the single guys out there....confidence (and a large shoe size) is where it's at A big bank account can be substituted should you fall, umm, short in one of the other two
