Anyone see a sudden interest from women because of your Porsche? Any other cars draw interest that you own?
(I don't know why RockLegend started this thread. But it's now 7-page long. )
Girls seemed to like it when I drove BMW X5M, much more than C4S. They told me it looked masculine. But they were never able to distinguish between X5M and plain X5.
Anyway, whether 991 is a chick-magnet or not, it's never good for in-car osculation or fornication; it's too small. You have to bring a big SUV when seeing the girls.
For the guy who traded m his 991 for a BMW Z4, here's what they have to say about that:
"For their part, the men queried said they’d be most likely to rev their biological engines for a woman who straps herself into a red BMW sports car. “Based on results, I’d recommend a red BMW Z4 for single women,” Danise says. “Two seats signal ‘no kids.’ The fact that it’s expensive means it’s probably leased, which indicates you’re not heavily into commitment. The convertible top says you’re not worried about your hair.”
2 quick stories, one old one new. My dad once told me before he married my mom that he was working on the car ('57 Chevy) and he was having some problems. They were suppose to go on a date that night. She asked, who is more important, me or the car? My dad said, "you don't want to know the answer to that"!
My wife doesn't really like driving my 911 (a good thing, but she has to on occasion). I saw my old college girlfriend of 35 years ago the other day. I was showing her pics of my kids and she saw a quick (1-2sec) pic of my son in front of my 991. Immediately she said "You have a Porsche?"! She even pronounced Por-sha correctly! Guess I should of married her. Some women like sports cars, some don't have a clue! Wish my wife did.
Ferraris are chick magnets. There have been a few studies on the sound a Ferrari emits evoking responses in women. I used to drive a family member's red Ferarri 360 Spider and I got many, many responses from women. I have owned two 911s and I got one response over my 7 years of combined ownership.
The response I get from my wife is, "how much did that thing [911] cost? Alright then I'm happy with my [whatever the recent purchase may be]..."

What will happen if your current wife happens to read your post?
I'm not sure about 991 is chick magnet but I got three girlfriends after I bought my 991 and all three do love to sit in the car at the same time...thats why no need GT3 for me.
I don't really have an opinion on whether my Porsche attracts women or not, nor do I care. I do know that I've gotten my fair share of "thumbs up" from women and men: probably equally.
What gets me, is all the reponses here that equate to, "why would you want to be with a woman that only likes you for your money/car/perceived wealth?"
See I'm a happy bachelor with no intent of getting married or having children, or quite frankly, being in a serious relationship. Like all men, whether they admit it or not, like to fornicate with attractive women.
So a couple years ago, I was dating a girl about 1/2 my age and smoking hot at 20 years old. I was having a great time, and she was too. Well, a close female friend of mine commented to me, (presumably in an effort to save me from a situation she perceived was bad), "you know marv, she's only sleeping with you because she thinks you have money." Nothing about her comment surprised me. My response to my friend was, "Okay. I guess we're even because I'm only sleeping with her because I think she's hot, what's the difference and who cares?"
My friend was dumbfounded, and I don't know why. A spade is a spade.
LOL So true. One of my sons went to the Bahamas for a week and asked me to dog sit his black / tan terrier while he was on vacation. The dog is a ten week old puppy. We have a bike and hike trail only a coupe of miles from my house, so every day I took the puppy out for a leisurely one mile walk on the trail.
As I pulled into the bike / hike parking lot, I'd typically get at least one guy who would compliment me on my beautiful black Porsche, but on my 20 minute walk on the trail several young and attractive women would stop me each day to talk about the gorgeous puppy. One even walked the dog and me to the parking lot, and she was completely oblivious to my Porsche when we arrived at the lot.
Women don't care about Porsches. I am happy to report that no women have approached me because of my Porsche. Guess women in general don't give a stinking poo about cars which is great for me because I can own my sports cars and not have my wife worry about some skank trying to test my commitment to my marriage. I will tell you who does approach me because of the my car are other car doods that love cars, other Porsche owners/enthusiast and teenage dudes that think I am a millionaire because they are too naïve about money.
I personally think its foolish to buy a car to attract women ... or whatever you are into. People generally just don't care what you drive. And if they are taking photos of you in your Lambo, just remember, they are taking pictures of the car and not you unless you are Denzel Washington.
Remember, if you go buy a Bugatti tomorrow and you find chicks throwing themselves at you, they are either gold diggers or have date rape drugs or some form of poison coated on their nipples so they can rob you when you pass out.
