LOL 10 minutes after I took delivery of my 2006 Cab, I was at the gas station pumping gas and the girl at the pump next to me walked up to me with a can of diet coke and said, "hi, can you open this for me, I don't want to hurt my nails" So I did, handed it back and she said "thanks, nice car!!"
Who says chivalry is dead! Well done, good sir...T
Almost every women that I "know" (well...you never known a woman, that's something impossible to achieve) including my wife, believes that my P-Car is useless, especially because the trunk capacity. But...when she realized the extensive list of steps that I have to follow to remove the wheels with centerlocks and PCCB, that was the exact moment when started to look at me like someone who is facing "opportunities" related to "getting old".
My wife joked (I hope she was joking) about me trolling for chicks when I got my Porsche, and before I bought it I wondered (purely academically) if driving it would increase my attractiveness to women. But, as some have already noted, the only people who go ga-ga over the car are boys and men. No biggie, and it's fun to show the car to little kids.
Of course, the problem is probably that I drive too fast for any of the hot women to catch up to me.

Her not so subtle way of hitting on you. Did you get her number, assuming you were single and assuming she was hot?
My 18 year old son asked me, "Dad do you know how you could get better looking?" My reply, "No son tell me". His reply, "Go stand next to your car, that will be the only help you will ever get"!
If you want to attract other dudes, keep the Porsche.
Truth. Best way to meet women ever is to get a puppy and take it to a public park. Back in my younger, single days my friend had a puppy that we called PM for "***** magnet" or PD for "panty dropper". A short walk in the park with that puppy beside you was all that you needed.
The other day I had an older woman in a parking lot come up to me because she saw me putting groceries in the frunk. She hadn't seen a 911 up close before I was wondering where in the engine is was putting my bags. I politely explained that the engine was in the back.
I have never noticed any change in behavior from women, due to owning/driving a Porsche. The only occurrence I can remember is a nice smile and waving from a brunette sales rep (I work for Cisco Systems in the Triangle) while I was sitting in my black Porsche. Had it been my usual BMW, she would not even have raised her gaze to look at me.
In general, I'd rather avoid women who goes out with you because of the car you drive. There will always be a Dude who has more money and a nicer car than you do. And I agree with the puppy: It is the ultimate weapon to lay girls.
In Southern California Porsches are a dime a dozen but I did catch a soccer mom smiling at me a couple of days ago. In the Ferrari, I get the kids giving thumbs up, but the women seem to hate the thing......including my wife hahaha.
Not really, or maybe I don't notice it as much. I've had the 997 for nearly six years. I had one lady in her 40's asked me if it was a turbo? Think she was trying to strike up a conversation, had my two boys in the back, was taking them to school. I also had a young pretty girl from 24hr fitness, asked if that is your Porsche, she said, "It looks very nice." It's mostly young guys or guys in general that comments on my 911.
If you want comments from girls, get the MB SLK instead, had it for 8 years before selling it for a Boxster S. I literally had girls throw themselves at me. Lost count how many compliments I get. "Do you have a gf, if not do you want one," "Is the passenger seat taken?", "Is that yours, can I take a ride?" I even had a gay man say, "oh hey!" and gave me a wink. That was terrifying.

What?!? Hmm. I got to see if the wife will let me borrow her SLK to test your hypothesis out. At my age, any young lady talking to me is a highlight!

To say the least, this has been informative, if not entertaining. Mostly what I see is haters looking at me: the look, the tailgating, the lane cut-off, and, of course, the obligatory middle finger. Good thing I am married, otherwise I'd give the 997 to the first stranger and get myself a puppy, or the SLK.
