I personally don't see anything wrong with a picture of someone with their car, its just a car

Some famous psychologist (forgot whom, I think it was Frued) would just say, "A car is just a car"

However, men get passed over because he's some sort of "Muscle Car Jock", when he's really just a guy who likes his car....or just happens to be in front of it the time the pic was taken.

Now, when women pose with their cleavage and body parts shoved into the cam, that's another story.

eeash...So they pose with their cars!!.

What about people who dont even put a pic with a person on it in here? They put a sunset, or somekind of animal, or a cartoon (the possibilities are endless)

They put up a pic of their dog (now talk about giving a bad first impression)

I would rather see someone standing beside something they are proud of, that they have worked hard for or on (for all you rebuilders), then not put a pic of themselves up at all!

Again!!to all you people who are going to freak out over this post, THIS IS MY OWN OPPINION!!
thank you and have a nice day

i am amazed at how this thread started out......men posing with cars has nothing to do with inadequacies or compensations of any kind. In reality, men are a very simple (unlike their complicated counterparts - j/k). men like to show off the things that they have been able to acquire and/or achieve.....it somehow defines their self-worth, not their sexual organ size (good grief). if a man is proud of what he has and wants to share it worth you, then appreciate his efforts!

*posing beside my stove ... with a fresh loaf of bread in my hands*

actually I made fun prior in this thread, but men love their toys, my bosses wife is forever complaining about his chevelle, she admits she's jealous of it and she's sure he loves it more than her..I think mens toys are their first love they are just showin us the competition *wink*

yo ham, Freud would say that it is a symbol, of either insecurity, confidence or practicallity (depending on the car and the guy).

In any case, i think women should take the hint and start posing with their cars since men are so interested in em.... hmmmm... :P Since one lady already said she got lots of comments about her pic with a car....

And ya pride and hard work into a car is usually why guys show it off, also has to do with ego in some cases but after 3 minutes of conversation you could probably figure out what the case is :P

and thats my two rims... uhhh, cents.... right, my two cents..... :P

Good point - when I see man with a pet - it gives me the feeling that they are nonthreatening, cozy and friendly -- perhaps it is an illusion, yet that is what I think when I see a person with their pet.
Yet with their car, I often think they are macho and materialistic -- perhaps someone should do a study on all of this!

Now I know you aren't SUPPOSED to judge a person based on appearances... but when I see a pic of a guy posing with a car, the first thing I think is CHAA-CHII! Seriously, I can wrap my mind around a man who's hobby is refurbishing cars, but the guy who stands behind a 2005 right-off-the-line __________.... CHAA-CHII. I guess it makes me old cause I'm all about reliability and gas mileage! I can't help but assume they figure this car will be a selling point, and if you feel that you need a car to impress women, you are seriously lacking.

Well in their eyes all women are materialistic which is not the case at all. My ex had a Jeep that was really old but kept it clean when he knew he was seeing me. Mind you he was a great guy and the car had nothing to do with it.

why does posing with a car seem materialistic? ?????? if you buy a car for 40K,,, for most of us, that own a home worth say,,, 250K,, that is almost 1/5th,,, 20 percent............... a home lasts far longer than the car.............

so damn it! why not be proud of it! you worked your ass off for it!

is it shallow! who cares!

Hi all.... well I have been following this thread a while now..... I see some of the women on here seem to be beyond making up stories based on the picture..... some are still only too willing to state a lot of crap as if it is fact (ladies- I call a willingness to do that nothing more than dishonesty!!!!!!!)

So let me state a thing or two about pictures and posing..... I have exactly two digital pictures on my computer with me in them.... both are posted here although one is hidden....

I have a number of pics that I guess i could scan in and burn to a CD somewhere.... so .... what would you ladies with the problems with cars in the pics like the backgrounds to be???

I will give you several choices.... first..... a pic my ex wife took of me from the top (you can't see my face------ 'cuz it is buried in ...um... her beev)

second.... me asleep.... third...... me in my coveralls and hardhat at work..... forth...... me on the ride on lawn mower...... fifth ..... me pig dirty with roofing material residue after redoing the roof.... there are a few others too.... none any more or less appealing than the possiblities offered.

It's like this for me... I have not been to a photo studio in about 30 yrs..... most of the pics that show me dressed up seem to have an ex spouse in them...... I am not literate enough with computers to edit pics or even scan them in.... so like what you see is what you get

and if you ladies want metro sexuals..... well - pass on us guys who do guy stuff and go for the girly men then.... i won't be missing you, if that is your inclination

I have a feeling that the real women here won't be offended by what I just said

If I see a guy with more pics of his car than himself I'll ask him if he's a car salesman!!!
I think it is shallow and materialistic, but I also think that some woman have provoked this behavior by being gold-diggers.
Some woman I know will just date the guys with nice cars, so I understand a guys thought process that way!
