From someone who has been married to my one and only wife for 40 years: If you are looking for the RIGHT girl, the car has nothing to do with it.

And yes, me and grandma just bought a new-to-us 2SS convertible. Ha ha.

I met my wife when I was driving a pink neon. Invest in some personality and be someone that deserves a good partner. Using materialistic things to attract only gets you those that are attracted to materialistic things.

No car or dog will 'get you a girl', at best they will draw their attention and be an ice breaker. As other's have said, it's confidence, attitude and your personality that will attract women.

Usually an issue with your personality. Sorry, I'm a blunt person, but confidence and ingenuity are the name of the game here. Someone in your shoes probably has the latter but not the prior. If you can't get a girl with those, then the pool you're in is full of toddler piss and dog shit, time to look elsewhere

Someone once told me that if you want to meet interesting people, work on becoming an interesting person first. Get a hobby, join a club, get invovled in activities and learn to talk to people, be interesting and be interested in them and what they have to say.

Puppies are good because they break the ice but after that, it's all up to you.

You have a Camaro. Who needs a girl? She'll just use up all your money and you wont have any left to spend on the Camaro.

How about a bike

I always loved riding a bike, a pedal bike, so liberating.
While in college for engineering, I neither had the money or the time for a car.

I rode my bike. My current wife of 48 years thought I was a geek on it.
She was right, but we had a date, and when she nicely said to me, 'so you're a geek'.

I replied 'when you fly in the sky the turbine engines that keep you up there, would you rather have them designed by a geek engineer or someone else?'
(I am now a retired aerospace engineer.)

I see your point she said, the rest is history.

By the way she loves dogs and cars, but our family is the only thing she really lives for.

There are lots of wonderful women out there and they want sincerity, caring, and a guy they are physically attracted to. The last item you can't change but the first two, will get you the right woman.

Jim

He couldn't be any more correct about this. When I was in high school, a lot of people that went there were in the Upper Middle Class (yea, it was 14 years ago, it was definitely more of a thing back then), and most of the kids had all these nice cars that were practically new. As for me? I had a little white Dodge Neon r/t that I was able to get for $2,500 since I worked hard since I was 14.

A lot of people would go out and buy the "coolest" cars and think that was going to help them. But, it truly is all about personality. If you're young the fact that you have a car is one step ahead of most people. I'm not saying to change who you are. Be yourself. I am one goofy person that likes to joke around a lot. I never stop being myself no matter who I am around. People can see when someone is not being genuine.

But take it from someone that has been there. I have been with more than my share of women through my years, because I was one shallow s.o.b. At one point it was more like a game with me and my friends, just to prove that I was better at it then they were. IT'S NOT WORTH IT! Even today I look back on it, and there were a couple that I let go that I wish I would have never left.

Long story short: Its definitely not the car, its the driver. It's not about quantity, its about quality. If you find someone that you truly like, stick with it and make it work. Being able to say you got with x amount of women isn't cool after 22. And even then it is only cool to your boys. In the meantime mod your camaro, because date nights add up really quickly.

You drive a v-6 with a ss hood , you have done mods to it but yet you own a car in high school which for many would mean working after school. Or mommy and daddy are paying for it or you have some other source of income. While money matters some in the adult world, Pre adults are not thinking with a logical mind until the crap starts hitting the fan around mid twenties. You maybe should be trying to appeal to a older woman who has more smarts than crap and giggles.

I was a poor white boy...LOL, only thing I got was a 55 chevy pick up dad got for $100 he never helped me restore and I knew squat. Popularity can be had for distinguishing yourself say as I did in sports or science etc. but is fleeting and a reason the vain stars of Hollywood have to be constantly in the news and we are supposed to worship their ignorant extremely liberal opinions that they to force on us increasing in the media and movies because they are morally bankrupt.
Because the truth of things is Hollywood is like the Limo scene from Team America World Police. Most girls are looking for a good time not a serious relationship, enticing them to have a good time with you be you Fugly with pork chop around your neck, or Prince charming expect them to see through you if they are even thinking about serious relationships or sex.

Having the ability to have integrity at your age is something usually earned in combat over many years, if you lack it eventually the stink goes around... Frankly as a teen I had once a girl recommended to get her virginity taken by me from another girl who bragged on love making and how I cared to take care of her needs. Long story short...I was too big...LOL

Anyway, I remember being the skate palace kid who lived down the street and went to where the girls were and had so many girlfriends on a sting mom would ask who it was today... I did pay attention to their needs, I listened and of course was charming and alluded to things in a fairly classy yet funny manner. A good sense of humor can make all the difference be you poor and wanting or rich and wealthy because life is a long journey and change is all we can count on.

SO I hope my wife does not read this, but if she does...we are both veterans, she found me on match.com in another state, she picked me not only from appearance but from integrity and frankly I had prettier, but not someone I could trust with my heart. Just because your personality is not the same as another's who can attract women its not about the car its about the driver..... One case where that's really true. Either you have it and a good reputation and are friendly to strangers and people like you or, you could be as many in the younger generation are; Narcissistic self centered steaming pile with no sense of doing what is right for anyone but yourself.

We are in the information age where people stare at their phones, get a hobby that makes apps that make people laugh or spread things to girls staring at their palms with a phone in it so you make friends that way is my best advice, that and envision yourself as being of the character of those you most admire, and for me it would be like Capt.Kirk, Humprey Bogart, Ronald Reagan, Arnold Swarzanegger as Conan.... then try to measure up to that yourself in your interactions as being of character beyond your age.

' Because the future with someone can be envisioned fairly quickly, shortsightedness is what your age is about and maybe your generation which lap up the lies of their teachers like honey as they line their pockets being union Liberal babies, and no one really needs to be like everyone else and go to college to discover they are screwed for life with mounting student debt and then be angry and blame government.... Only 30% of people graduating need a secondary education for the job market, and of them that include technical and other schools. Our current economy needs Help badly and god bless our president if he can because around 260,000 is the magic number; that's the number just to give jobs to those who graduate every month let alone hire some of the millions who have dropped out of the market because of bad economic policies of the past mostly to blame on liberal thinking big time.

SO stimulating conversation, holding their interest and real desire to please and be entertaining can net you attention of the fairer sex, keeping it is more in it all being on you, it sure the hell is not the car. And don't believe the lies the mainstream tries to feed you they are so bad now its as if the ghost of Walter Cronkite should come back like the fog or the Steven King novel the Mist to eat all the liberal lie spreading scum and then we would be left with ...FOX. Oh yes and BTW I do not endorse the Mist its got gay shoved into it like the 100, and several other shows now that are very much trying to degrade the morals of all so the Hollywood Liberal agenda can be fulfilled and they can go to nirvana in America that they envision is what Europe is and its a big lie, and only leads to them feeling better about themselves and their lack of morals as they are the scum degraders of morality that point a finger at others who simply are normal...you have to be xenophobic, racist, homophobic, a bigot, what ever if you do not agree to their low morals.

'WOW...morning rant...........LOL OMG read your other post..you golf, so do guys my age....and people who watch it..or want to sleep, not a chick magnet...now football, baseball...they may get you some attention, maybe even track, but god I could not envision going to school and have someone say hey great round!!! Loved your pic on the front of the sports page with that Pink Polo....LOL Just had to throw that in....
How this guy gets girls; Makes them read this crap until they give up on life and do his bidding just to get him to shut the fu€k up.

In my experience the only thing the Camaro attracts is dudes wanting to talk about the car. The other one I get is "Nice car Sir!!" LOL I guess cuz I'm older.

OP I hope you aren't telling the girls your Mom bought the car for you that's a date killer right there!

The most I saw was girls flirting with me while stopped in traffic, when I had my 2008 Mustang.

I met the most amazing women and married the most beautiful one driving a 91 Toyota pickup.

Personality, job, stability, and the ability to listen are traits women are looking for... with a huge dose of humor.

Me and my future wife at Shiner Music Festival 1996.
