Have you read the "Millionaire next door"?

Most whales don't drive fancy or flashy cars. They own a very profitable business, and drive mundane cars everyday. How do you think they got to be whales?

Spending a ton of money on fancy exotic cars ain't the way to get to be a whale, or to stay a whale.

If I ever become a whale, I'll name my privates "Moby Dick"
 
Define 'poor' as it relates to NSX ownership. I don't think it means the same thing that 'poor' would mean to a lot of other folks.
 
At the local Dallas meet this week, a couple of (young) hotties came up to talk about the cars and get rides... Not sure what happened after that.. BLKEVL care to comment? :D :D

:confused: I guess I was trying to be funny... I'm not insulted, I just didn't make the 1-1 connection between poor and upper class... you don't have to be a whale to be wealthy, but you do have to be wealthy to be a whale.

My only whale friend lives in San Diego... at Sea World.

Here are some stats from 2001:

NSX OWNER’S DEMOGRAPHICS:

Of the NSX owners who were polled an astounding 79% have college degrees, while a total of 98% have at least attended college.
78% of NSX owners polled own a home.
18% have a vacation home.
10% have a boat or an RV.
69% of NSX owners polled have an income over $100,000 per year, with 49% having an income over $150,000 per year.
97% of the NSX owners polled were male.
The median age of the NSX owners polled was 31-40 years old.
77% of the NSX owners polled are members of the NSX Club of America.

I think what ParisModel was trying to say is that $150,000/yr is not enough :frown: ... whales are far beyond those numbers.

I do not disagree, but I also believe ParisModel probably hasn't seen any demographic information on NSX owners but is rather making an assumption based on her perception of NSX owners. Hence my reply.

IT'S TRUE! Whales aren't seen driving an NSX!

There's actually some validity to this statement. I know a billionaire who won't buy anything but a used Lexus LS430, a la Sam Walton and his pickup.

I also don't think driving an NSX elevates one's dating standards, but then again I'm in SoCal - there are plenty of nice cars everywhere.

Alright Mermaid, explain why your'e in that 3% !!!
 
I have no experience with how the NSX applies to dating- I have never taken it on one. I will say the former Mrs. Glorioso hated the car, and dreaded going anywhere in it.

On to my commentary on this thread as I have read it.

I always thought the phrase "whale" was a derogatory term- maybe that is because I first heard it applied in the movie Boiler Room used to refer to someone they just took on their stock scam.

What is the phrase?

Something like- "A fool and his money will soon be parted"

I always thought of the NSX as a "value" exotic, and that those who shop for value are less foolish than those who shop for flash-

Must be my mid-western upbringing coming out- I dunno. I prefer to be categorized as "less foolish".

Everyone has different types of self image.

I always thought that if you have, or want a bad ass car to enjoy because it is a bad ass car, then cool.

If you have, or want a bad ass car so everyone else sees that you have a bad ass car- you might have a self image problem.

I don't want a woman that is attracted to the car I happen to be driving. I want one that is attracted to me. :smile:

Call me silly if you like.

Whoever sent those girls that note offering a ride in a "supercar"- dude, that was a little creepy- it wasn't really the offer part, but the fact that you sent them a note instead of approaching them- Are you in 5th grade? You should have asked them to circle yes or no- maybe THEN you would have got some action! :tongue:

Oh BTW- Sure, you can let the ladies know you have the exotic car while you are at the club by going out to it when the ladies are waiting in line-

One question,

How do you use it to help you in the bedroom? :biggrin:

Maybe that is a discussion for some other website eh? :biggrin:

Reading through this thread made my day. I dont have a point of view on NSX helping me get women. I was already dating a girl when I got my NSX and she will soon by my wife, but I have had my share of interesting experiences and observations:

-2nd day of owning the car, a gray haired old man in a 80s cadillac asks me what kind of car I was driving. (No wimmen luck there)

-My girlfriend and all her friends thought my NSX looked "weird" and "like a space ship" and never wanted to ride in it because it was too hard to get in and out of. (No wimmen luck there, even if I were single).

-Once at a gas station, a young guy in his teens/early 20s, comes up to me and asks to take a picture of my car and me. I'm happy to oblige, but suggest he get in the picture instead of me. (No wimmen luck... well, you get the idea)

-Kids who can't drive yet love the car. (Dont even go there...)

-Men who play grand toursimo always notice NSXs, then compare them to Skylines, WRXs, and Evos. (whopee!)

-One girl visiting my work from our firm's Tokyo office went absolutely nuts when she saw the car and made me take her for a ride. (Could have been some potential here)

Conclusion: If you want to the NSX to help your game, you should put your titanium key in your pocket, go to Japan, and wave it around. (and while you're at it, if you encounter the apocryphal used underwear vending machine, please take a picture for me. I will pay you).

Hey Mike,

For me...a car is like a suit,...a jewelry,...a perfume...it's something you wear which reflects your personality. It's like wearing a Rolex or an Armani line of clothing. The NSX is not for everyone...it's for those with distinctive taste which attracts unique attention. Remember the saying "Dress to impress"

In my experience the NSX truly attracts attention both ways...but it boils down on how you play your cards...

I think most girls would rather meet somebody with an NSX rather than a PT Cruiser? :biggrin:

I know plenty of girls who would be way more impressed with the PT cruiser... "they're so practical" she'd say

well, I dated one, and dumped her, thank goodness hehe. I know plenty of girls who are looking to be domestic and are small-town girls. Those types aren't for me. I won't even date a girl if she hasn't/isnt currently in college looking to make a career out of her life.

Well, aren't you considerate! Now when her eyes roll back with boredom :rolleyes: she has something nice to look at! :biggrin:

Just messin with ya pal. I read your posts, and I think your sense of humor is just fine.

My comments were placed more toward some of the things I read that just struck me as funny, and some of the things I thought were just plain sad.

The last jibe was all in fun- hope you don't mind.

with all the BS said...I can honestly say that I'm always impressed with people driving really nice car (esp. women driving those wild colored lambos.... :wink: )....It's probably because having the same passion easily builds up attraction. it's the way it is for me!!But to each his own......I would gladly accept an invitation for a ride in an ENZO...umm yeahh she doesnt need to be that hott...hehehehe... :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Nah, Don't worry. I'm actually having fun watching this thread go in all sorts of different directions. Amazing how ONE honest sentence has opened up the floodgates of opinions. By stating that I want to kick it up a notch regarding date hotness because I myself present a more appealing package because of my ride, Iv'e been given every negative male classification out there. Oh well. That one long post about the guy at the drive thru and in the restaurant--That's totally depending on the car for attention. I've always maintained that the car augments the visual presentation, but it's not everything. Oh yeah, I have a poster on the ceiling, and for foreplay I play a tape of Aryton Senna speaking Portugese over the sound of a Comptech exhaust.......

Hahaha...of course I'd choose the NSX first over the Lambo and the ferrari... :biggrin: ..damn nobody even invited me for a ride earlier? :biggrin: :wink:
 
Heres an analogy . .

What if this was HarvardLawyersPrime.com . . and the post was:

Well, now that I have a degree from harvard law school I kind of realized that in my particular situation I can get a better job than I could when I was still in school. Is it shallow to turn down job offers from 7-11 and 3rd rate law firms now that I have a harvard degree?

People take what they can get . . some people on here got attention all their lives . . and some only started getting it when they got an NSX. So if it helps your game, and you can get better ass with an NSX then fuck it - take what you want. The strongest drive in the human species is the drive to procreate. So it is a big deal and its not our fault - its built in!

For me personally I have had a GF for a year and a half now but when I was single the car was kind of a "look at me" neon sign which got their attention off all the plain cars to my car and then to me - and when they saw I wasn't a 58yr old accountant they were happily suprised. I got 1/2 of all my ass on the road - gas stations, pulling up to sidewalks getting numbers, parking in 7-11 and circle k parking lots on summer nights - it was COMPLETELY like shooting fish in a barrel. I've gotten numbers going 80MPH on the 405, 110, PCH etc. - they write it with lipsatick on a envelope from the glovebox or sign it with fingers 1 digit at a time. I had a girl pull up next to me at a light and smile so I asked for her number and I didn't even remember that I already hit it!

Of course I live in The OC - super shallow\all looks land, so if you just wanna have fun its the place to do it.

Anyway thats my 2 cents . . but its logical if you want hot ass then anything that gets you more is fair game. If you want a keeper chick then trolling in the NSX might not be the way to find one though!
