    If you bought a corvette, you would have lots of luck attracting a bunch of old balding guys that like fast muscle cars. The car doesn't make the guy any sexier

    I would get ragged on by guys and yes sometimes women from my work about my Prius. I like to think it was just a ribbing and jealousy....

    I would always shoot back with my daily commute mpg stats ;)

    I currently drive a 2015 Ram 1500 Hemi Crew Cab Big Horn 4x4 (for some reason no more ribbing from co workers but I cannot in any way shape or form use the mpg defense anymore) prior to that I owned and drove a 2015 Prius Persona in you guessed it Blizzard Pearl.

    My wife currently drives our 2014 Prius v in clear sky metallic and a couple cars before those I owned a 2013 Prius three in Barcelona red.

    I'll probably buy another Prius in the future as well :)

    Well like I said I still have a Prius v in the family for our longer trips but yeah I guess I kinda miss the <$20 refills with the Prius every 2 weeks instead of double, almost triple that weekly... I also miss the challenge of trying to best my mpg each day commuting.

    I did also own a 2014 Hemi Charger R/T before my Prius so I guess it came down to I missed the Hemi Power and I really wanted another truck (had a few trucks way back in the day).

    Among other vehicles, I own a 2010 Corvette Grand Sport, and a 2014 Prius. I've received more compliments from women regarding my Prius, and more compliments from guys regarding the Corvette. My wife hates the vette and loves the Prius.

    Women are much more impressed with men who are confident and strong. You've made a great choice buying a Prius. Be proud of your decision, and I believe women will notice that more than anything else.

    women love a man that drives a prius, it shows you care about mother earth and are saving money on gas to take them nice places...the real question is do you want a woman that wants a man that drives a prius, most don't shave,use rocks for deodorant and wear flannel shirts to cover their beer bellies...

    get a lab puppy and you will get more women then you can handle

    Is this really a serious question???

    There are some fundamental differences between men and women, one of which guys are attracted to cars and machines (more or less), gals aren't (in particular).

    So if you are expecting to attract somebody's attention using a car, then you are fishing for guys! A Prius is bait for intellectuals, environment conscious, engineers, etc... guys.

    If you want to make contact with women, then go dancing! Take lessons in different dance techniques/styles and you will have women hanging on you in droves.
    If you are one of those guys that say "oh, I don't dance", then start driving your Prius between the gay bars in town until you meet your type.

    Good luck!

    Oh, btw a woman will appreciate your Prius first after you marry her!

    I think the Gen 3 is a beautiful car. When I was car shopping, I didn't come across many silver Prii. It's my favorite car color, so I always kept a look out for one out on the road. One day, I spotted one as I was leaving a gas station, so I circled the pumps again to get a good look at it. The driver caught me driving by slowly, staring, and gave me a Joey Tribbiani "How you doin'?" smile and nod. Oops! Sorry, I'm happily married - I was just checking out your beautiful, fuel-efficient ride! I feel like there's a parody of the Eagles' "Take It Easy" in there somewhere.

    How you do with "The Ladies" is entirely up to the person...and "The Ladies".

    My feeling has always been that if someones interest in me is based on the foundation of impressions of my choice of vehicle? Then maybe that isn't a person I want to invest a lot of time in building a relationship with anyway.

    Unless you're hooking up with someone in a drive-thru, then first impressions usually aren't created by your vehicle registration card.

    Even if someone doesn't like Prius, I've always felt my brilliance, good looks, and charm would be enough to win them over IF I felt it was worth even trying.

    I cement the deal with a faux humility by driving a Prius.

    There seems to be a misunderstanding about this question, paying attention to the wording -- I can interpret it several different ways. :p

    As for me, I don't attract any attention from ladies at all with my Prius :rolleyes: Good, bad or indifferent. Which is O.K. with me. LOL

    Men either for that matter, unless I am working on the car in my apartment building parking lot. Then lots of guys offer to help -- amazing how many mechanically clueless men there are wandering around, isn't it, Bisco? ;)

    Personally, way back in high school, seems my friends and I would get a little more interested in a guy if he had a hot car. I remember one guy who no one paid much attention to got a lot of interest after he came back from summer vacation in a hot red Ford Mustang. Of course, where I went to school, he might have received even more attention if he had shown up riding a mustang.

    Moving into my role as a psycho therapist -- if a guy has a car he perceives as "hot," it probably changes his confidence/self-esteem levels. In the event you guys have not realized it by now, lots of women are attracted to males who project confidence/self-esteem -- even if it is the "bad boy" side of the fence, no matter if it comes from his brains, brawn, or Harley.
