Prius Dating Service

[DanMan32]

Well, the lady I am pursuing can't drive, so I'll have to say yes. If she did own a car, it would have to be a van, and I'd end up driving it.

If I restricted myself to a Prius owner, my non-hybrid wife would kick my ass. To her credit, however, when I mentioned hybrid Camry, she perked up.

[Mystery Squid]

Is this for real?

I don't care what she drives, or even if she doesn't drive.

If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't. If she judges me by my car to any significant extent, I don't WANT her anyway!

I like to think that this is more of a Joke type posting, with some potentional, hahaha, but it stems from my inability to look at people with gas burning cars as attractive, [/b]

Our Prii also burn gas, just less of it. The hard part for me is to look my life partner in the eye....he runs his car on biodiesel. No war required.

I didn't buy my Prius to be a babe magnet, but I have been getting a **LOT** more female attention with my Prius than I have ever gotten with any of my previous cars, including my two Integras, which back in their day were a pretty hot little ride. I don't find myself attracted to women who are attracted specifically by muscle cars or pimped out SUVs. It seems that intelligent, educated, and socially progressive women tend to be either interested in or impressed with the Prius once I explain to them what it is all about or how it works, so if you want to use your Prius as a babe magnet, you likely will have much more luck in a liberal college town than a military town (in NC think Chapel Hill vs. Fayetteville).

As far as using our local Prius Club for dating is concerned, it's been pretty slim pickin's, since the only female I have met there so far, as attractive and intelligent as she may be, is waaaaayyyy too young for me and is married, so that's a no-go.

As far as dating a non Prius owner is concerned, I definitely would, even an SUV owner, provided that she is open-minded about the Prius and takes it for what it is, and does not write it off as some weirdo-mobile.

Was it here or on PriusOnline where someone wrote an anectode where some friends of his tried hooking him up with someone during their party. The lady was turned off that he was a gunsmith and assumed he was a huge SUV owner. He stated he was, but actually drove in his Prius. She stormed off saying she was going to look for the Prius owner. He got bored and left. He found out that others told her the prius owner left after being insulted by somebody.

I have had guys approach me even after the engagement ring went on my finger. Don't guys look for that anymore? Sheesh! [/b]

You must be kidding. Since when did an engagement ring, or for that matter a wedding ring, even slow down most guys??

Seriously, you already know that about guys. Right??

[galaxee]

Yes... reluctantly, Jay. Most guys will continue to pursue a girl even after she has expressed a complete lack of interest too...

I always wondered about that.

I'm sure it's a very powerful and deeply rooted survival instinct for the species.

Or, to quote Tim Allen: "Men are pigs!"

I'm guessing the latter. Oink oink! Snoorrrrrrtt!

[galaxee]

because of course it's solely up to men to propagate the species...
