The New York Post just profiled single guys who use their fancy apartments to get girls to sleep with them. Guys, have you ever owned something - a home, car, shirt, vintage Smurf collection, etc. -- that you knew would get women to hook up with you? Or has the reverse ever happened with a girl you weren't into...until you found out she owned something awesome...like a 1998 Nissan Maxima (just for example)?
Funny Guy says:
There was a particularly depressing few month stretch of online dating a few years back during which I'd give more time then I should have to women with swell apartments. Sure, our conversations and vibe were all out of wack, but when you're down and out who can resist one or two nights a week in a big comfy bed, tucked under one of those rich-girl comforters. And nice smelling sheets. And HBO. And a clean towel. And a fridge with real human food offerings in it.
Reformed Player says:
Wanting to sleep with me because I own something would be a dealbreaker because, let's face it, if that's your criteria for choosing who you sleep with, you probably have a disease.
Girls' BFF says:
Short of my charming and darling personality, no, there's nothing that I own that's ever been a chick magnet. No car. No fancy artwork or paintings. In fact, if it was for my left dimple, I'm sure I'd still be a virgin wooking por nub in aw da wong pwaces. And let's just be real, if I don't want to sleep with a chick up front, or wasn't really into her, short of her turning into a new woman who looked like Lauren Conrad, it's very doubtful that any of her worldly possessions would make me want to love her down put a ring on it. Oh, and I don't care if girls run the world Beyonce, men are from Mars anyway.
Mystery Man says:
Possessions are fairly meaningless to me. Nice to have, sure, but as anything important or getting laid fodder? Don't make me laugh. I certainly have never dated someone based on what she has or wears, and have only had one gal chase me and date me based on the bike I had at the time, a sweet, slightly chopped classic '72 Harley shovelhead, if you must know. I liked that monster, but it was just a way to get from A to B. She turned out to be a total freaking psycho.
Skills and abilities, on the other hand, get you laid every time without fail.
Wise-Ass says:
Yes, a .38 special.
Chic Geek says:
The band .38 Special or the gun? Because no woman can resist the smooth, country rock stylings of Don Barnes, Donnie Van Zant and the rest of the wild-eyed Southern boys in The Special. Fire up a little "Hold on Loosely" or "Caught Up In You" and watch the panties drop. Basically what I'm saying is, every man should rock some .38 Special in his casa if he wants to get lucky. That guy in the Crocodile Dundee jacket in the "Caught Up In You" video knows what's up.
Wise-Ass says:
Either or. They work equally well. I mean, they're no sweet, slightly chopped classic '72 Harley shovelhead, but they get the job done.
Dude, don't forget "Rockin' Into The Night."
Chic Geek says:
Yes! And "Back Where You Belong," where the band members are on Hill Street Blues for some reason.
Clearly this whole group question should be about .38 Special.
Gal Pal says:
I went from a guy who drove a Lamborghini to a guy who drove a '97 Pontiac. I cannot be swayed by material goods. Except for Donnie Van Zan's tight pants.
Material goods can sway me, but only in the sense that they reveal an inner facet of the guy's personality. And never do possessions alone drive me; they simply influence. One of the biggest things that turn me on are books. I love to read and I love readers. If the books complement my taste in reading...even better! Newspapers are hot too. It's slightly old-school and suggests that he's worldly.
Ahh yes. The newspapers. Seeing a guy reading the news (as opposed to watching it) over a nice cup of coffee (or cocoa) is... sexy.
Oooh...books are so sexy! And yes, newspapers, too.
My boyfriend has had girls hit on him when he takes our cute little Corgi/Dachshund mix to the dog park -- apparently, chicks love a guy with an adorable dog.
In my experience, guys appreciate a girl who owns a gun and knows how to use it... and also has a pair of practical shoes.
It always turns ME on when a guy owns a lot of books.
Yeah, a puppy could definitely do it. A puppy AND books? Watch out.
I would agree that being a gun owner has in the past gotten me more attention from the male population. However being able to speak clearly and concisely tends to be more of a provocation for men.
I know that I am in the minority with this one: A guy that has money and drives a car that does not show it. That shows me strength of character and he does not have to impress. I love that!
Nah, not in the minority! Though I'd feel similarly/equally attracted to a guy who doesn't have much money, but really puts in effort to make me have a good time :)
Absolutely! What I do not find sexy are showoffs...
Sorry for the spammer folks - it slipped through the net.
"it's very doubtful that any of her worldly possessions would make me want to love her down put a ring on it. Oh, and I don't care if girls run the world Beyonce, men are from Mars anyway."
Thanks BFF for giving me my morning cup of laugh !
All I need for a guy to own is a great sense of humour and personnality, strong arms to hold and handle me, a huge smile. Luckily enough he has all that. And still lives at his parents (working hard to end his PhD). And doesn't own aything else than his beautiful mind.
Me, being attached to material things when it comes to dating ? lol
@Bibonoshoes -- sounds like you have all the right "things" on your list. Congrats on what sounds like a great relationship!
But yeah, books are such a turn on.. And good DVDs.. A guy who has the same taste than me for good movies will definitely getting me wanting to spend time with him. And good tea. And jazz/world/classic music. that shows how open he is (or at least might be).
I agree with Fatima, some possessions may reveal their possessor.
Hmm.. Well, I was once dating this guy who owned all the video games I wanted to play, but never got to buy. Needless to stay, that sort of gave me some incentive to stay over the night, so I could play them.. (But mostly wanted to spend time with him...while playing Red Dead Redemption.)
What was it that John Waters said? "If you go to someone's house and there's not a single book, don't f**k them." Or something along those lines. Yeah, books are quite a turn on.
