Drive a Prius, get laid
Worried that real men don't drive hybrids? Think you need a high-powered sports car to impress the ladies? Think again. A new survey reveals that women are concerned less with the size, and more with the mileage -- nudge nudge, if you know what I mean.
This recent survey by General Motors found not only that nearly eight in 10 people would choose a "green" vehicle over a sports car, but also that fuel-efficiency is a chick magnet. "Close to nine in 10 women (88 percent) say they'd rather chat up someone with the latest fuel-efficient car versus the latest sports car."
It shouldn't be that surprising. After all, hybrids are not only fashionable -- they're expensive, just like sports cars. So by purchasing one you're not only telling the world you're successful, but also that you're sensitive and caring (in this case, to the needs of the planet, but we can only presume that applies to other areas of your life as well -- like dating, right?). On the other hand, the guy who drops $30K for a sports car that gets 5 mpg is saying: "I am a douche bag" -- and who wants to go out with that guy?
So buy a hybrid, you'll help out the planet and probably have more sex.
