Haha you should've made her walk home!

But yeah, some people don't like Benz because of the snob factor. They think all benz owners are showoffs or something. Usually these people can't even afford Civics.

You're sure she wasn't just trying to get you going?

There could be a few reasons for this:

1. You made HER pay for dinner.
2. You talked about yourself the whole time.
3. You talked about your ex-gf the whole time.
4. You talked about your MB the whole time.
5. During dinner you checked out every chick that walked by.
6. Her looser father drives an MB.

Didn't you tell her you have a Civic with an MB body kit on it...

Maybe it's time to completely debadge/destar the car and get rid of that L on your forehead to avoid the loser image you now have.

SOME women don't show much tact when telling a fella they are not interested... you know, like MOST men...

If you take her comment literally, you don't really want anything to do with a gal who shallowly measures the guys she sees based on the cars they drive. Do you?

On the other hand, it's not REALLY about the car at all, is it? At least she was straight-up with you, so take it as a positive, dust yourself off, and waste your money and time on some other chick. You'll stumble across the right one, someday.

If I had a dollar for every time I got the heave-ho, it would have made a nice down-payment on a M-B for my wife of 29 years, now.

Oh, and next time, consider taking you date in your 94 Toyota 4Runner... At least if she makes a stupid remark you find offensive, you can then ask her if she would prefer to spend the rest of her ride home hugging your roof rack...

haha lol nice list

but the conversation we had was light and funny.

actually she was talkin more (80% of the time)

i payed for the dinner, which pissed me off the most about her comment.


the thing is she said that comment, and then she stopped. she didnt even bother to say "oh i dont mean you, im just talkin generally"

which leads me to believe it was directly towards me.

anyways, i didnt call her again, i flushed the number and am dating a new one

you guys are funny. great board

good point, i think her point was more than that. maybe im not her type i dont know. but she did a good job waiting till after the date was nearly over to get a free meal.

the date was kind of dull. one of those problemtic chicks talking about her past. i was having a boring time listenning, but i lkept my composure and just kept it light and funny when i talked.

anyways i thank her for say it, because now i wont be wasting time and money.

oh, sometimes when i suspect gold diggers i actually take my camry and go to cheap eateries. best way to know!

one time a girl asked me on a first date "so.... what is the most expensive thing you have bought for your gf?"

finding a decent girl is hard enough these days, having a nice car is also somewhat of a barrier. but im glad how i handle my sitiation and especially the most recent one. being calm and not being upset on the spot

another thing i want to add...

usually i get the opposite reaction....

'wow niceeee car"

"nice benz is nice'

"sweed ride"

so i wasnt used to negative comments

i guess she is just bitter, and one of those left wing feminists that want to put you down constantly lol

Hopefully your new date is giving you those good comments. And if not, maybe she'll love the Camry.

Eh, I had a girl call me a snob just because I drive a C-coupe. Heck, her Acura SUV probably costs 1.5x more than my C. I just like the C-coupe because it's a lift-back, not because of its 3-pointed star. Heck, if they still made the VW Corrado, I'd buy that for sure.

I think I get it worst. All the bitc...girls that sit in the passenger side always have to -hate- on me. They don't diss the car but instead tell me how its not really my car because its way out of my price range or when I tell them how cheap and affordable the lease is, then they say "well its not really yours then" ... at this point I just speed up really fast so they can switch the subject to my driving skills

yup..I've been called a snob too.. not too happy about that considering that I wasn't boasting about the cars I drove.. more like I knew a lot about them and freely shared the knowledge (as any good car buff should!)

also, "geezus! are we really paying you that much??"
