If it's a newer sports car, for some reason I think, he's full of himself. On the other hand if it's a truck I would like to know more about him. Not saying that's right , but just my first reaction. Rather see an old beat up pick up truck, or tractor. | |

Good point. I actually have a whole collection of photos OF my car. I like to take pictures of it in places no Corolla has gone before. Maybe I should put some of those in my profile. :) | |

Horses are much cooler though. | |

So I take it, with horses, nobody compares HP or torque?
I've always been a fan of putting the things you enjoy in one's pictures. If someone enjoys going on weekend drives just for the sake of driving, then by all means have a picture of you in your car. If someone just commutes in one, why bother?
Yea. Horses are cool. They are much friendlier than cats. Especially if you are holding a carrot or two. | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 2:48:39 PM | This thread makes me wonder if I should remove the picture of my car. I'm not posing with it (in fact simply took the pic to show that I have a car)
Most people don't want to be around those who don't have their own mode of transportation so I just get it out there without having to say it.
Does the picture of my car on my profile make me look like a pretentious jerk? *wonders* | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 2:59:49 PM | Yeah it makes me curious. I'm not here for dating but I do have my car posted anyways.
Looking for friends. (No, not FwB as I've been accused of in the Ask a Girl forum lol) Who wants to be friends with someone and hang out if you have to go pick them up all the time? lol | |

Why women have to show us pictures of your cleavage, of your breast, or even your ass. Isn't that demeaning to us guys? Well, I think it's the same thing? | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 7:42:34 PM | “Help me understand this please....Why do some males feel the need to post pics of themselves w/ their(questionable) cars?"
If the car isn't being used as a status symbol it can be there for other reasons.
The car in question could be a fun/hobby car that the owner takes a lot of pride in. You can often tell a lot about someone by looking at their hobbies. The things we choose to do define as more than the things we have to do.
While we are talking about pics and postings, why do women post photos of their pets? Guys, how many cats, dogs and horses have we seen while in search for a lady?

Posted: 10/17/2007 9:49:04 PM | | I don't know. I guess they want to play the gold-digging women who are out there. However, from what foreign women have told me, they've been offended by guys sending them pics of themselves with their cars and houses because they thought the guy was trying to "buy" them. | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 12:26:43 AM | | Thats funny... it is a proven fact SOME women will go for a guy because he looks hot with his "hot" car... That is exactly the reason I won't put up a pic of me and my car... I'm selling myself, not my motor! I'm not so desperate as to try using a pic of my car to get attention, unfortunately some blokes are. Besides, my car is big, and I'm not about to make a statement where my car represents my penis! | |

...men consider their cars to be an extension of themselves, whereas women “understand that their car is a separate entity”.

Research suggests that women have even greater bonds with companion animals than men | |
