Trish, I think he was actually being sarcastic with the car thing. If Mike is like me he has a modest car and a nice house. If any girl thinks my car isn't good enough for her, she can marry some other guy. The thing is the wealthiest people I know don't drive showy cars.
Yeh I once saw Bill Gates driving a Jeep on the interstate, I have used Microsoft ever since.
Well, I was being passive-aggressive, not necessarily sarcastic.
I do enjoy the finer things in life because I'm young and I can afford them, granted when I get older this won't matter a bit, but, these days its just for fun. I have two cars and I did completely splurge on one of them. I grew up poor and have been fortunate in my life to make good money. That and I just plain like nice cars.
The problem is the impression certain women get. I value money, however, I don't really care that much about it because I'll be fine with it or without it (i.e. it doesn't define me). That doesn't mean I throw it away and that doesn't mean my significant other has the right to abuse my generosity (which has happened in the past).
My goal with that comment was to figure out a potential mates view of materialistic possesions. The money is great while its there, but I know what its like when its gone and will this girl stick around during any "tough" times? If she's the type to flee when things get tough - I would rather figure that out sooner than later.
OUCH!!!
Damn, I decide to add some positive things to an internet message board, and THIS happens? Who the fuck would have thought? By the way, I drive a Volkswagen Beetle. Wasn't it obvious? And it's not pink, It's glorious Sunrise Yellow with airbrushed rainbows on the doors. ChaosNSX wishes he had one...
My point was this: I am wealthy by many of ET's standards. Yes, when you have a walk-in closet full of tailored clothes, you can make references to them as being "a wardrobe" and not actually be gay. Jewelry? C'mon. Give me a break. Ever heard of a trash guy that goes clubbing wearing a Chronoswiss? If your watch, money clip, and sunglasses cost more than a KIA, you'll never convince a woman that you drive one. Women aren't stupid, if you walk into a club wearing $15,000 they're going to know that you're full of shit when you tell them you clean poop off the wall of a public restroom.
As far as 4-of-6... Yes that is good for me, but keep in mind that I wouldn't hit on Renee Zelweger if she weren't a movie star. She's not hot. Brittany Murphy? I've pulled better. Katie Homley? As is apparent, my 4-of-6 is very different from yours.
When you pick her up, lock all of your doors. Lead her to the passenger door, and then make it a point to unlock the door with the key and not the remote. Open her door, then take her hand as she climbs in. Walk around the rear of the car after you shut her door. Now walk slowly and watch what she does, there is really only 3 possibilities; a) she rummages through her purse or plays with a cell phone; b) she flips down your sunvisor to look in the mirror; or c) she unlocks your door for you. If she looks for a mirror, plays with a cell phone, or rummages through her purse, she's self-centered or self-absorbed. If she unlocks your door for you, she has good character.

Try this out on your next date:
