Depends on what you want:

Guys are attracted to hot cars.

Girls are attracted to hot guys.

Had another guy in the neighborhood walking his dog tonight commenting about my SS. He used to have an Iroc in High School back in the 80s! His dad also has a 2010 SS and he was telling me how he thinks the 6th gen is greatly improved and were talking how the Camaro sales have been tanking the last few years and just can't figure it out.

I get lots of guys noticing my SS and liking it. Last fall I was at autozone and an old guy with a C8 liked my car.

Yet I never get women eyeballing the car and checking the car out. I have a business at the fleamarket and when I first got it I saw customers (guys) eyeballing it and saying how nice it is. But I don't see women drooling over the Camaro. Same when I had the Mustang GT when I first bought it. Guys would check it out and all that and amazed how clean it was. Never had women looking at it.

most women consider a car an appliance,a toaster on wheels that delivers them to the mall and the beauty shop.theres a few that might be impressed,but not many.

Yea... I'm not saying this to be mean, so hopefully it doesn't come off that way, but you are either very young or very naive. the only ones looking at your car are other dudes. Chicks don't care one bit. Ive knows guys who have busted ass rides, dented, different color body panels, ect...and chicks will still get in that car to go out somewhere. I'm sure they wouldn't MIND the guy they are seeing have a "nicer" car, but any chick actually worth a damn, won't really care.. And if they do, then you got yourself a gold digger and/or someone who's going to be high maintenance and thats just not worth the hassle.

Dating apps are just a scam to get you to put more money in.

The whole time they're linking you to women who just want you to put more money in.

Just be sociable in real life. Get to know everybody you can. Take every opprtunity in your day to make conversation...and get to know people. Eventually one of the friends you made will hook you up with a woman worth staying with.

Tinder and bumble like that now. Get very limited amount of swipes and features unless you keep paying. Bumble has hottest women but they're very picky and look like gold diggers.

Lot's of older ladies, I'm talking 50' - 60's, who grew up in the muscle car era compliment my car. One had her friend take her picture in front of the car. I let her and her buddy sit in the car and they were thrilled.

Back when single, in my 20s driving a C4 Vette I went to a popular local club. Saw a really cute young lady and asked her to dance. She looked me up and down and went back to talking with her girlfriends. The next week I went back to the same club. Parked my car and as I was closing the door, watched the same chick drive by and park in a nearby spot. Later in the club she comes up to me and explains how she was having a bad day last week and wanted to apologize. Asked me if I still wanted that dance. Nope.

You know, after re-reading the OP, he did not specify who the picture was for, so maybe having a Camaro in the picture is better

Yea. Here in SW FL the median age is at least 50 for each county. My county it's 55. Not much online dating options that are decent as well. I probably have a date next week up by Bradenton which is over 50 miles away. A cougar in her 40s but she's pretty cute and looks wealthy too.

But LOL if I were a billionaire like Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates no way I would marry. Just have a bunch of girlfriends or high end escorts in Vegas lol. They're going to lose big time in their divorces!

kropscamaro16 · 07-30-2021, 12:05 PM
