Car Attraction: Sexy Cars Don’t Just Stop at Looks

July 28th, 2011 by Red No comments »

Yes, it’s true: girls like guys with cars – that is considering that the car isn’t a total wreck and that the guy takes good care of his car, because girls know that if a guy can take good care of a car, he can probably take good care of her, too. But there’s another reality that few guys are aware of: a guy’s car can turn a girl on! Guys, if I got you interested, then read on.

So, what’s the secret behind turning a girl on with a car? To answer that question, it would be best to understand the mysterious being that is “the female” a little better first. No matter how unreal it may seem to most guys, girls are actually very logical, but they apply their logic in different ways from how men do. This is especially true when selecting a partner, because unlike guys, girls have a lot to lose in a sexual relationship. Girls, therefore, are always on the lookout for red flags and green flags in a guy’s behavior or character that influence their long-term behavior toward the guy.

One of the biggest green flags that girls seem to associate with guys is car ownership. This is a green flag because to the girl it means that the guy can support her financially. A good car basically signals to a girl that should the need for material resources arise, then the guy with the car will probably be able to provide for that need. Tricking out a car, ie., adding an in-car DVD system, having a great sound system, or getting a really cool paint job, usually works but is rather superficial. To use a car to really attract a girl’s attention, there yet other things that must be considered that can influence a girl at a deeper level – and this is where understanding that girls are actually extremely logical will help you greatly.

Girls see things in a different way than most men do. Where most men might be wowed by a fully tricked out car, wowing a girl takes a little extra effort. The plain and simple fact is that a girl won’t be attracted to you just because you have a cool looking car. That’s not everything that she’s actually looking for. Girls are much more receptive and are better able to notice seemingly insignificant things – and this is what we have to act on to really grab their attention.

In the context of the car, aside from looks, a girl will notice whether a guy’s car smells good on the inside. A girl will also notice if you take the time to organize whatever it is you’ve got in the car. They will even notice the level of care you give the car and how you maintain it. All of these seemingly little details add up to a girl and influence her behavior because it appeals to the side of her that influences mating responses. Let’s go ahead look at this perspective in more detail.

A good smelling car can attract a girl at a psychological level because females respond very well to smell, in fact, all humans do. Good smells act as a sort of barrier remover. In the context of guy-girl interactions, this is a signal that to the girl that the guy takes good care of himself – making the guy a worthy mate. Thus, just like wearing a good perfume, installing a car air freshener with a great scent will help to lower a girl’s defenses. A sure sign to knowing if a scent works for a girl is if she gets chattier.

Organizing your things inside your car signals to a girl that you are organized with your life as well. Girls’ psychological responses to guys are built around the concept of conflict avoidance. Signalling to a girl that your life is well organized tells a girl that you are capable of organizing yourself so that you have the time to attend to her needs. The best thing is that organizing a car isn’t too difficult. You just have to follow 1 simple rule: there must be a place for everything. If you have a lot of stuff and can’t find space for everything, getting a good car organizer from an online wholesaler might be a good idea. Although, don’t approach this too strictly that you throw a fit if a girl reorganizes your car for you. In fact, a girl reorganizing little parts of your life is sometimes a good signal – it means she wants to get involved with you.

Finally, attend to the overall feel of your car. If your seats aren’t very comfortable, you might  want to get a set of good seat covers with additional padding. Seat covers can also add style points if they themselves are attractive. Putting a masculine looking steering wheel cover might also be a good idea, adding points to your masculinity – if you don’t have the money to change your steering wheel all together. Little details such as these add up and if you are able to make good choices overall, can really light a girl up.

So there you have it. If you really want to attract a girls attention and keep it, don’t stop at just your cars looks. Tap into a girls response systems by making changes to your car that appeal to her at a deeper level. Lastly, be very careful about what you choose to bring into your car, because if you’re trying to attract a specific type of girl, some things might work and some things might not work. Always think about what kind of image you want to convey to the girl you’re trying to attract.

Always Be Prepared When You’re Out on the Road

July 24th, 2011 by Red No comments »

Today is the last day of what is often termed “the greatest bike race,” the Tour de France. One hundred and sixty seven  riders will be riding into Paris toward the finish at the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. This year’s race into Paris, which is usually more ceremonial rather than competitive, will mark the first time that an Australian, Cadel Evans, will be crowned the winner of the Tour de France and will end what has been one of the most dramatic and exciting Tours to date.

This Le Tour has been no exception to the fact that during July, cyclists around the world catch a disease that not only keeps them glued to the television or the internet for several hours a day, it also gets them motivated to train harder and go farther: Tour Fever. Tour Fever is described as that almost irrational desire to want to be in France to watch the tour, or at least stay informed about it as it unfolds via whatever medium is available to fans. It gets cycling fans riled up, gets them dressed in weird ways to celebrate the tour, and for those who do cycle on a regular basis, makes them want to get on their bike, ride off into the distance, overcome weak days, challenge their limits, and open themselves up to new cycling possibilities. Le Tour de France is, after all, more than just a race to many, it’s a culture refined through the years, one that induces extreme euphoria in almost every fan and encourages suffering for the sport (like the Tour’s participants do) in every cyclist –  yours truly included.

Because many cyclists will be taking to the streets more seriously following the tour, it is a good time to highlight some very important reminders to help make cycling not only safe and fun, but allow you to train longer and harder without having to worry about any problems you might encounter on the road.

First of all, don’t worry too much about looking Euro-cool when training. Training is training after all, and you’re not out there just to look good – unless you can fulfill the demands of looking Euro-cool even during long and arduous training rides. This basically sets the basis for all my other reminders, as often times, riding Euro-cool means that you’ll need to forego some of the equipment you might need on the road to make sure that your training ride goes well.

Looking Euro-cool demands that you never carry anything in your jersey’s pockets, because that would imply that you have a team car carrying all your gear for you, but unless you do have a team car, I would strongly advice against this. The suggestions in the PezCycling News article You Look Mah-velous: Cycling Style Etiquette are essentially the very basic things you should bring: a small tube, a tiny pump, and a tire lever. But I suggest that you bring a set of allen hex keys as well – you can get these in a set specifically made for cyclists, with only the sizes you’ll need to fix a bike in a small, light, Swiss Army Knife-like contraption for storage. And if you don’t mind a little extra weight, a complete cyclist’s multi-tool, and perhaps 2 or 3 tire patches, might also be a great idea, especially if your training ride is going to be a classics style 150 miles or more.

Nothing says Euro-cool better than riding with nothing more than a cycling cap for head protection, but the article You Look Mah-velous also goes on to say that crashing, getting a concussion, and drooling out the side of your head isn’t Euro-cool at all, too. So yes, wear a helmet! And on that same note, wear a good pair of gloves as well, as this will keep your hands from slipping off the handle bars if ever you crack and are too tired to keep a nice strong grip on the bars.

Make sure you also dress for the weather. If it’s cold, don’t forget to wear a long cycling jersey and pants. This will keep your muscles from getting too cold and causing you to be unable exert as much effort as you otherwise should be able to. When you’re out in the heat, wear something shorter to keep you from overheating. If it’s really hot out, don’t worry about wearing a sleeveless jersey, no matter how un-Euro-cool it may be – your ability to ride another day is more important than looking good on the road.

Also never go out on a night ride without a light. Gladly, many online wholesale shops offer LED lights – which don’t mark you as not being Euro-cool. On very long rides, it might be a good idea to equip your bike with one, even if you’ll be starting your ride during the day so that you’ll be prepared before it starts to get dark and you don’t have to have more weight in your pockets.

Finally, and most importantly, never go out on a training ride without bringing some fluids with you – whether you’re bringing water or some sort of sports drink it’s important to have something to replace lost fluids when you’re training hard. Cyclists riding road bikes will also be happy to know that a water bottle on the down tube can help to make a bike more aero, and mountain bikers will definitely find a good bladder installed in a hydration pack convenient.

So if Le Tour de France has got you hyped up for a ride, then by all means, get out there! But make sure that you’ll be prepared no matter what happens on the road. Train hard and strong and let the Fever push you farther!
