Because boys on the internet really know how to make a girl feel good. They generally present some form of the "Hey, look, I'm a girl and I like cars! Love me!" They'll have a few regular leghumpers that follow them around the board posting in every thread they post in, heavy handedly hitting on them. However, every thread they post in will feature some form of flirting. Will rarely post in the tech sections of a board, sticking to general sections or off topic. I ABHOR this brand of "car girl."

7% Gearhead. These girls like cars. They could not care less about the boys. They tend to avoid focus on their gender, instead focusing on their car. They respond negatively to "Tits or GTFO" and will have to, every 6 months or so, dress down some new idiot who assumes they can treat this woman like the other 93%. These girls also look down at the attention whores, as they ruin the credibility of all women on the board.


Be the latter, not the former. The former make me sick. Don't pretend to be interested in what I'm interested in because it'll make me like you. Any man with an ounce of brains sees right through that shit. And it's insulting.

And guys, STOP. Just stop. You're never going to sleep with a girl from a car forum. Enough of this. Stop hitting on a box of text because it says mildly suggestive things and uses too many smileys. Those pictures she posted? They might not even be her. That might even be a dude. I did that for years on a forum to troll idiots, with the consent of moderators. And stop being extra nice to them. If a girl posts a car that looks like hammered dogshit, tell her it looks like hammered dogshit. You'd have done that to a guy if he posted the same car. She's not going to sleep with you because you watered down your criticism. All she's going to do is keep driving around her awful car thinking that all the boys love it.


Interesting because I don't fit either category really. I'm newlywed and don't need attention from boys but I'm not really a gearhead either. I am just simply a loyal fan of Toyota sports cars (that happens to be female) that has a basic understanding of this space.
