Yes it does say a lot about her character, but I would argue any women who cares about a guys car is an immature twit. I prefer to see how she treats the waiters and waitresses in the restaurant. If she says thank you and is pleasant with them I know she is a winner. Just my opinion.
The materialistic things are eye catching for sure, but after that, a guy has to be desireable when he starts to speak.
I agree with you there Trish, I once had a girlfriend who gave me a necklace as a gift. I hung it on her doorknob one night and never called her again. I also look at a girls home decorating skills, by this I mean do we have the same tastes in furniture etc. Nothing could be worse than marrying a chick with cheesy country cutouts on the wall and a cabinet full of Precious Moments figurines.
Well, I happen to be married, and let me tell you brutha, men who are responsible and make a lot of dough are in high demand by quality women. Trailer trash and pigs need not apply! I joke with people when ask me what I do - "I rob banks". Well, that *is* technically true since I trade forex only. Finally I cave in and tell them I am a currency trader and explain it to them by asking them if they ever exchanged money... and they understand - then you tell them how much money you control in the market... It is even more fun when they notice the life style. It is like an aphrodisiac... but I am married. My wife is soooo lucky! No worries mate - be damn proud of what you do!
If a girl likes your car but is not saying so, she may be thinking it and just not verbalizing it......not a strike against her.
