They wash and wax them, go on and on about them – some even adorn them with furry dice. Us Ladies simple will never understand it.
But men who admit to loving their cars and seeing them as an ‘extension of themselves’, are more likely to be aggressive drivers.
For instance, ‘we know men tend to be more aggressive drivers and we know men tend to see their cars as an extension of themselves more than women,
Depending on a man’s age, a car can play an integral part of expressing his self-esteem, childish dreams, overall attitude, hard work or complete laziness. A bright red corvette might say, “hey, I’m completely insecure and never got reassurance from my dad that he accepted me, but now I’m wealthy and can parade around like I don’t care!” On the flip side, a dirty, rundown piece of junk with parts missing and a constant squeak might reflect a man who can’t afford a tune up, has no clue about cars to fix it himself, or is a complete slob who wouldn’t know how to take care of a woman if his life depended on it.
1. Most guys want or even dream of owning a fast, sporty, shiny, and very expensive car. If he’s young and unattached and has money to splurge, he will express his boyishness with a car that is an eye-catching color, think red, yellow or black. If he shows up at your house in one of these cars you’ll probably jump right in with no hesitation, as you should! You never know, this could be borrowed from his dad or a rich uncle in town. Don’t be too pessimistic about the car; you’ll probably be too busy feeling cool to think about anything negative at all! Just notice if he talks in excess about his car and especially if he has a pet name, like “baby,” for it. In this case, his car is #1 and all you will ever get is #2. Also, that materialistic attitude might spill over into your relationship and embarrass you around friends.
2. He’s girly
A tube of hand cream in the glove compartment may be used to combat dry weather, but not by a guy. Even a pair of Chap Stick or hair products in the back seat might be a red flag. No, this doesn’t automatically mean he’s seeing someone else, but it does mean he spends quite a lot of time on himself. It’s great to find a man who is well groomed and cares about his appearance, but by leaving products in the car, it shows that he is concerned about grooming throughout the day aka too much. Either he either insists on looking good at all times or he is habitually late for appointments. If he is having a particularly long day and will need a little freshening before a night out or dinner with you, no problem. Just be aware and check it out next time you’re in his car. You certainly don’t want to be fighting for mirror time with you man!
3. He’s a family man
When you get in his car, do you see a child’s toy in the backseat? This could belong to his nephew or niece like he says, or even to his own child. However, keeping it in the car says that he is secure with being seen with that child and is not ashamed of his time spent with him. If he removes a car seat, you’ll be able to tell by a collection of crumbs, wrappers and toys on one seat only; you might have something more to worry about. He might be hiding the fact that he is a dad, which is a big no no, or be ashamed of a recent family outing with his nephew, also unnecessary. Bring up children in your conversation and see how he reacts, you’ll know right away if he’s hiding a munchkin of his own.
4. He’s reserved
Finally, if you don’t see any decoration in his car at all, nothing hanging from the rear view mirror, nothing in the rear window space, no clever bumper stickers and no dashboard ornament, then you can count on him being an extremely intriguing, hard-to-judge man. He does not believe in expressing his ambitions, philosophies and disappointments in his surroundings, so you’re going to have to figure out all of that stuff by yourself. Good luck! It could also be that he likes things clean and doesn’t want to clutter his space, especially if he spends a lot of time commuting or traveling in his car.
Women will never figure out why ye love your cars so much! Guess its a bit like us with our high heels and handbags. We’re obsessed. Each to their own I suppose.
