Just did a quick search came up with this. The cheapest for a pre-owned at this place was $138,000 and went up to $219,000. No way I'd ever pay that much for a car. I wouldn't even pay $25,000.
To me it just means don't drive an old beat up cheap-ass car, especially if you are an older male. Drive one that's newer that has more 'status'. Substitute 'Bentley' with 'Lexus', 'Porsche', 'BMW', 'Mercedes', etc. Not too hard to figure it what the article is implying.
Again for all those that get offended some women don't care if you have a car or if you drive a junker vs a newer, more expensive car. Heck there are those who are going to post they have slept with hundreds of women using their bus pass. But there will be some women who will be 'attracted' to the type of car you drive. No it's not a deal-breaker. No one doesn't have to buy a brand-new status vehicle. No it doesn't imply the woman is a gold-digger. Yes please post all the women you slept without owning a car. Yes please post all the dead broke men you went out with that drove 15+ older cars or never owned one.
But I don't agree with what it was implying, either, lol. BMW's and Mercedes are very impractical cars. Some women undoubtedly go for "status" cars. Others would be looking for a man who was more practical, and didn't throw away money on expensive cars that are costly to repair and tend to require repair periodically. That goes for Volvos and Jaguars, too, which I happen to like, but they're disasters to own. Also, no one said anything about owning junkers; not the article, nor any women here. This is an example of one typical dynamic on C-D, when someone posts an opinion some may find controversial; suddenly, other posters will start speaking in terms of extreme examples, as a way to ridicule the point. Talking about beater cars, here, is off-topic.
And btw, to get back to the article and the list: how many men have you ever seen wearing red? That's laughable. "Chow down on garlic", seriously? Beyond laughable. I find it very interesting that some of you guys are taking this article seriously. But hey, it's "scientific"!

Here's the list, I don't really think much of it. Most of it's common sense.
Look older
Grow a light beard
Build muscle (but not too much)
Be kind
Wear red
Make your partner laugh
Walk a dog
Play good music
Practice mindfulness
Play extreme sports
Wear scented deodorant
Chow down on garlic
Do volunteer work
Show off your scars
Use open body language in your online dating profile
Look proud
Some of the stuff on the list are common sense. The rest are just some dummy's ideas to fill out the list. Wear red? That's pathetic. Wear whatever is in style. Red might work during Christmas season.

These seem like common sense things that offer nothing in the way of helpful information. Having to tell someone via an Internet list to "be nice" is odd. Good music is in the ear of the beholder. I have no idea what "use open body language in your online dating profile means" and no clue what "look proud" means either.
Chow down on garlic?
Show off your scars?
What the what?

lol. At least I got my laugh for the day. CD-R is always good for that.
There are literally hundreds of studies that have shown that women are naturally attracted to men who signal "provider" status. This is biology, not some off the wall notion. It's scientifically researched.
I think people resist the mountain of evidence that supports this because they don't want to admit that they are simple, shallow, survivalist creatures. It's just who we are. We're wired to survive, as such, the mates we deem more capable of helping with this, appear more attractive.
"Women are attracted to other signs of high social status, from elite diction to driving an expensive car, or dining at a posh restaurant (3). Perhaps for this reason, many still prefer if the man pays the expenses of a date. In our society, this is a sign of having disposable income and being generous enough to dispose of it."

I believe it goes even deeper than that. It's "the selfish gene" pushing us.
The desire to survive, and procreate is very strong in all mammals. (Not each individual person, obviously, but all species of mammals have a very very strong desire to procreate even if a few individuals don't have that).
That's why women are wired to choose men who can at least subsist at survival level. And men prefer young, healthy, fit, attractive women.
Both cases give you a better chance of having surviving offspring.
