A 2005 Flint Mica (Dark Greenish-Grey) Scion tC.

It is by no means anything spectacular, but it is fully paid for and in new condition; I also like that it is a coupe and has an all glass roof. All that matters is it is a late model and clean. You don't need a Bentley... girls just don't want a hooptie.

Its true unfortunatly my 1996 Eagle vision is an old model but it still is in perfect condition with low miles, both major pluses

looks matter when talking to girls. It sucks, but it's true. Dress nicely, drive a "decent" car (no need for anything excessive, my car is under 20k) and just have confidence in yourself and what you do.

alternatively, you can drive a piece of crap, and dress like a bum half the time...but if you can make the girl laugh and have just a little 'game' and have confidence in yourself and what you do it's not too hard.


Although this whole 'car and clothes' priority might be a little different in Cal and LV.

He's old, but not married. Still, his approach could work with a blind girl. I have full confidence she would love you.

PS - "Game" as bob puts it is even more important than anything else. But without decent looks, you won't even get to say "hello". Pretty unfortunate, but true (at least in Vegas and Cali).

Your best bet is to pick up one of these babies! http://www.lada.de/index.php?seite=lada112
It's no honda, but its nice and new. I especially like the wing on the back. Makes you look like you just got off the set of fast and furious 3! Girls will go crazy for you. You will have to beat them off with a stick.

The more un-beautiful you are, the more 'game' you need.
I'm 35, 5'6" and fairly bald.

It's called Darwinism. If I didn't have something to make up for my less-than-stellar physical attributes my breed would have died long, long ago.

Am I so old that this term became out-dated/old-fashioned without me even realizing it?

Havenīt been in your situation, since i started to play after i met my girlfriend and have a fulltime job. But it have given me some insight in how "they" work...

Donīt mention poker at all, with your earlier experience, why blow all your chances at the first date, the first time you meet, wait until later...so she sees that your not some game addict...
You should never be ashamed, just dont mention it.

I think the key is to give the impression of a solid income and if poker comes up never, never mention any numbers, it will only increase their expectation if you continue dating.
