Babe Magnet?
Do you guys think your Corvette makes you more marketable to women? I was in traffic today when an extremely hot babe in the next lane started talking and flirting with me. SHe was definetly interestead and was not just pulling my chain(atleast I think). This might be a common thing for many people put I am just an average plain 24 year old guy and these things never happen to me. Well we ended things within about a minute and a half because I told her I was engaged when she asked if I wanted to do something and talk. So after that I was all pumped up because this gorgeous girl wanted plain old me. That only lasted about a minute and then I decided the reason must have been the Corvette. So while I wish it was my good looks that attracted her I am pretty sure it was actually the car. Oh well. So have you guys found that you can pull a lot more women when your driving in the Vette? If I only had this car a few years ago when I was single and looking. I will be curious to see if it happens again since I just got the car.

Nah, i'm 22 and I dont think it helps one damn bit. Of course, I also think i'm ugly as hell.
It will get you more looks though.

Nope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe back in the late '60's....now....most women could care less.....and figure if we have vette's they will get little time with us.....
I really believe that...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just don't care about cars......maybe they care more about BasketBall Player's.....whatever...you know what I mean...unless you find a GEARHEAD babe.....far and in between.................
Good Luck

Re: Babe Magnet? (LT-4Mike)
I realize my being in my 60's doesn't help much with the "babes", but I got hustled more often when I was tooling around in my old Chrysler 300G letter car than I have so far in this Corvette.
Must've been the "fins", ya think?

Re: Babe Magnet? (vader86)
Must be something with 22 year olds and Corvettes. I guess my main problem is that I look about 15 driving. (I have the seat all the way up and forward too.) So the only girls that ever show interest are in the 14-16 range. I just keep my windows and radio all the way up when I drive by the local junior highs.

Re: Babe Magnet? (MagikDraggin)
I would have to say no. In the year I've been toolin' around in the vette, I think more women have given me the cold shoulder because of the vette.

Re: Babe Magnet? (JCAIRE2)
Depends on the girl.
Having a corvette is a great way to get their attention.
Also when they ask what kinda car you have, that gets a bit odd, but its fun to blurt corvette and see what their reaction is.
Alot of the time its very positive. some times its "Your a self rightous play boy" attitude.

Re: Babe Magnet? (Valleybacker)
It's funny how a lot of my friends will introduce me to girls. They introduce me as: This is my friend "MattHeOwnsACorvette." To which I follow up with the joke saying that my full name actually is "MattHeOwnsACorvette." Without the joke they mostly think I'm some kind of self-rightous arrogant Richard Cranium.

Re: Babe Magnet? (Golden80)
Actually, the corvette is a double-edged sword: It gets me looks because it is loud and red and cant be missed, and it may even get me a conversation with women(rarely), but a lot of women are intimidated by it. I actually asked this chick from my gym out (she works there), and at first she kind of avoided me. When we got talking a little more, she said something like, "wow, youre not at all what i thought". She said that a guy like me who works out all the time, is in great shape, drives a corvette, etc., etc. intimidated her as she thought i must be some kind of "player". I dont use the car to get women, really. The Grand Cherokee probably gets more attention because it is loud as a **** with the straight pipe on it :blueangel:

Re: Babe Magnet? (LT-4Mike)
Years ago ( before marriage and stuff, many summers ago ) I was sitting with some friends around an apartment complex pool. I noticed a really beautiful blond with a nice tan. I wasn't brave enough to go directly up to her to talk. So the guy I was with knew her and introduced us. After a brief conversation somehow the subject of my VETTE came up. ( At that time it was a 1974 L82 4spd with centerline rims and BF goodrich 50 T/A's) She said " Is that YOUR VETTE!", to which I replied " YES, wanna go for a ride"
That ride started a very romantic SUMMER relationship, one I will never forget.

Re: Babe Magnet? (Cal Vette)
Nope dude, you got her because of your looks. I'm 21 and I've YET (outta 3 years) to get a girl with my vette. (But that's also prolly because I look about 15 also.)

Re: Babe Magnet? (LS1RS)
I have to say no as well, 23 and been driving the car for 3 years, really haven't had the car increase my luck :nonod:
I think when people see a young guy driving a vette they just assume its Dad's vette, and your just out for a joy ride.

Re: Babe Magnet? (LT-4Mike)
It helps, I think it backs up or compliments your personality,,,,that is if you have a personality. That is what the girls really want, the vette is just an added extra. If you come across as "hey, I drive a vette", forget it, you are going home alone. I am 41 now, but in high school I had a 68 Firebird with what you could call character( a few dents and rust ). But it was still a kewl looking car. I believe it was who I am, my personality that got the girls attention and kept it. I did not get my vette till I was 32, before that I had a Mazda pickup. I had a good time no matter what I drove.
Trust me, you don't need to be a female to notice the azz_oles out there driving Vettes.
