Why Men Compare Women To Cars

Before you judge me, let me tell you how I came up with the title...

This bright idea spawned from a couple of phrases men (and women) used to use all the time back in the day when they were frustrated with their relationships. The women had their saying when they were sick and tired of their "sorry-ass man", which was: "I need to "upgrade" and find me a "quality man"." And, when the men were sick and tired of their relationship or woman, they would proclaim that they were about to "trade their woman in for a newer model" (one with less issues and/or mileage).

For men, seeing their companion as a car and the relationship as the experience of owning a car was a common metaphor back then - and even today - because cars are sexy (like women). BUT, they can also give you problems (like women). They have their own personalities and temperaments. Some are dependable. Some are unpredictable. Some make you look good. Some are high maintenance. Some give you nothing but headaches and drain the hell out of your bank account. And some, you want to "pamper and spoil" with new accessories and trinkets. They're like women. Are you beginning to see why so many men give their cars female names like Sally, Lucy, Betty, Betsy, Bertha, Charlene, Christine, Eleanor, etc?

For some men, their car is like the love of their life and they'll drive it and take care of it for years and years. A man like that is dedicated. And he might be dedicated to a woman in similar fashion - unless he's using the car as "bait" or a chick magnet. If that's the case, he may trade up every few years (every few months iin the case of a woman).

You're probably saying to yourself: "All of this is B.S." But listen...

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe all men look at women this way. I don't even think it's in the forefront of their minds when they view women. But it IS in the subconscious mind of some guys out there. Some men gawk at women the same way they would gawk at a polished red Farrari or jet-black Lambo. More than likely, the super-hot sports car would get MORE attention.

Look at it this way: Cheaters and players are good examples...

This idea of comparing cars to women is evident when you view it from the perspective of cheaters and players who shop for women like they're shopping for cars.

Let's say the woman is as sexy as a Corvette he's "driven" for a few months...

There's nothing wrong with "the car". It's flawless. Any man would be proud to get behind the wheel of such a "vehicle" and take it for a spin. But, in the case of cheaters and players: They may be driving a sweet-ass Corvette but they sure as hell wouldn't mind getting behind the wheel of a sexy Maserati. Or, taking a bad-ass Porche or Bentley for a "test drive" to see how it REALLY "handles". They can't resist that Eye-Candy! They want first-hand experience in the cockpit of one of those curvacious luxurious Supercars. They want to feel the "rush" of a unique woman (I mean, Car) that performs like no other!

So when a man compares a woman to a car:

He may see her as a sleek and beautiful fun-to-drive exotic sports car he can always have a great time with.
Or, he may see her as a luxury model with class, style, and sophistication that he can be proud to drive and be seen with.
Or, he may see her as an worn out old clunker with a lot of mileage that he's sick and tired of driving - therefore, he's more than likely in the market for something new.
Or, he may see her as a project car that - with a makeover - has the potential of being a supercar or a classic.
Or, he may see her as a stylish classic that makes him feel good (proud) about being behind the wheel of something unique and rare.

Still think it's all B.S.?
