You guys are too funny. Yes, women buy lots of clothes and use make-up to look good - partially to try and look better than other women; and partially to attract men; partially to make themselves feel good about themselves. Face it, if a woman didn't look good, most men wouldn't give them the time of day. I've wanted a Camaro since I was 17, but lack of funds prevented that. With my daughter, I have to drive an Express Conversion van with a wheelchair lift. I get surprised looks from men when they see a woman driving something that big (especially when I fly past them). As for men "compensating," for some men, it's true. It's a case of a few men giving all men a bad name. Men like powerful cars. It's those few men who dump their wives, buy new clothes, get hair plugs, etcetera and THEN go out and buy a muscle car who give the rest of you a bad name. Those men ARE trying to attract a hot girl and who are trying to feel young. For what it's worth, I am not impressed by BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, etc.... If you have a wife or girlfriend who is giving you grief over buying a Camaro, just wait until you take her for a drive. If she doesn't understand why you wanted the car after driving in it, she never will (just like you will never understand why women like diamonds, roses, and clothes). Okay.......my husband says that if she doesn't understand after driving in it, you should get new clothes, hair plugs, go to the gym, and then trade her in for a younger model. (I will slap him later.)
