What's the point? It's not your own car, like you are trying to show you have something that you really don't.

It's better than buying the car when you can't afford it.

Ladies have rent the runaway in which they rent expensive dresses and accessories for a day. It's pretty much the same thing.

Even if I won a brand new high end vehicle tomorrow in a raffle I would not post pics standing next to it on a dating sight cause I would not want to attract that type.



I remember when I had a crotch rocket going to biker friendly bars there were women in the parking lot who if you offer to ride them around they would run to their car and pull a helmet out of their trunk(yep they owned a motorcycle helmet but not an actual motorcycle.) it was kinda funny.


look up the song "mud cricket" on youtube and it will give you and Idea of the chicks into 4x4's around here.
Yeah you'd be surprised how some women would pretend to into a male interest as a reason to meet men. I met a woman who was a biker junkie, but didn't own a bike. Just liked riding on the back of them.

At first, I thought women hung around sports bars to meet men, but turns out, some women are into football. lol

The downturn is due in part with online dating giving women a "kid in a candy store" mentality. They get distracted by something better, and better, and better. It's a situation that perpetuates itself. And with a constantly full inbox from male suitors, it can be baffling.

I've known some women to quit online dating altogether due to the fact they couldn't handle the sheer volume of emails they get.

Nope. Not at all. I don't view it as a market. That's economic transaction language, not interpersonal relation language.

hey, how else do people return spoiled goods if not at the market? they want a refund instead of the old catch and release practice... compensation!

WTH would a woman get all excited about looking at a picture of a guy with “hot girls”? It always looks staged, and then sad.

This for the win!


Those car pics just look ridiculous. Same with the shirtless bathroom selfies.


OP... UPDATE YOUR PROFILE

I read "downturn in the dating 'market'" and think, "Does this mean RothT&A portfolios are down because it's bear territory or is this just a correction? And could this have to do with a trade war with the overseas dating market?"


I know, I am horrible. But like Timberline, I find these comparisons of dating to some kind of marketplace amusing.
