I suspect the sort of girls that would date you because you have a Porsche are the sort you'll be crying about when they take you for every penny in a divorce two years down the line...
Still, my intended defence against that is to not marry them in the first place.Comment

But seriously I don't think that would do my longer-term self esteem any good, despite any short-lived enjoyment derived from it.Comment

Women would be understandably attracted to that, and I see nothing wrong with it.
I.e. if I got a woman I liked, who noticed me because I had a flash car or nice house or whatever - I wouldn't necessarily take it as a signal that they didn't like me for who I am. In fact it could be viewed the opposite way.Comment

If she's driving an expensive car, are you more likely to be attracted than if she's not?Comment

For a 'weekender' - I don't care what they do.
Of course those are generalisations.
A car wouldn't necessarily catch my attention - but I'm not suggesting that it should. Only that if it did it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.Comment
