Ferrari prank by True Story ASA proves some women only care about money

SO IT turns out chicks really, REALLY dig fancy cars. The type of car a guy drives is apparently way more important than personality, intelligence or looks. And now there's a video to prove it.

Four regular guys hired a 2013 Red Ferrari Italia 458 and took turns driving around Las Vegas to see if they could pick up girls, no matter what they looked liked or the lines they used. These guys managed to get girls to ditch their friends, standards and even their boyfriends, all for a sweet ride in that beautiful car.

One lady's lack of interest completely disappears when she sees the Ferrari. "You wanna go out with me now?" one of the guys asks her.

"It's the car," she reminds him. "It's the most beautiful car I've ever seen". When she finds out she's not really on a romantic date, but the subject of a hilarious social experiment, she goes ballistic. "I would only go with you, if you were having this car. So you're a f***ing a**hole, f*** you."

So fellas, get yourself to a Ferrari dealer ASAP.

I noticed that none of the guys in this experiment were fat, old, or balding.

More black-and-white, overly simplistic thinking that is quite sexist too.

The more accurate assessment would be SOME women. NOTHING in life is universally true of ALL people of a certain category, be it "women" or even autists, for example.

Not everyone is the same. Quality women aren't impressed by the superficial.

But if you're a misogynist nothing will persuade you of that notion.

I bet a woman in that car could pick up just as many men.

They did this"social experiment" in Las Vegas.

That location alone is likely to give you falsely skewed results. That's like doing a poll on how many men prefer silicone boobs to natural, in Hollywood. :roll:

I don't know. I noticed one girl ditched her boyfriend to be with a guy who drove a Mustang. I don't know how that worked out though. I noticed this friend was no longer interested in talking to me when this guy came along as well. Some women will ditch guys for the illusion of money. Some guys will do it too. We do live in an ego-driven society after all.

Hmm thanks Jerry for busting it.

I have a theory:

It might that a single guy with lambo triggers an alarm in their minds, perhaps thinking that he is player (a stigma reputation of guys with lambos) - Like the beautiful poisonous tree analogy used by Toy Soldier in my thread.

The same effect when we guys see a single super gorgeous girl on a dating site.

When I was in high school, one local girl was dating the guy with the nicest car in town for most of her last two years of high school.

She left him within two weeks after he wrecked the car.

Even if the videos were legit, the survey and experiment is skewed. They don't put guys normally seen as less desirable in these situations to fully test the experiment for its worth.

Women like nice cars... yet another DUH study.

and the sample is too small and limited in geography.
