Women Say They’re Most Attracted To Guys Driving Pickups

Back in our misspent youth after enduring the agonizing engineering ineptitude displayed by a string of otherwise seductive European sports cars from the likes of Triumph and Fiat, we decided to take the wheel of what was then the most mechanically rudimentary vehicle a very few bucks could buy: A used right-hand-drive postal Jeep. Though spiffed up with a pair of bucket seats harvested from an old Camaro, reclaimed carpeting and a truly loud stereo with bookshelf speakers bolted to the floor, it did little to bolster our sorry love life at the time.

Years later this explains everything: A survey recently conducted by the stat-happy folks at Insure.com found that women are in fact the least attracted to men who drive mail trucks. Of course ours was painted bright orange, which couldn’t have helped matters, but there you go.

At the top of the list, the survey determined that women find a man who climbs up and into a big black Ford pickup truck to be among the most sponge-worthy guys on the road. “A full-size truck implies that you can fix a leaky pipe, and regular $100 fill-ups suggest that you’re not money-obsessive,” explains the website’s editorial director. “(The) $100 fill-ups also suggest that you regularly have $100.”

Here’s the vehicle types women find most attractive among male drivers:

Pickup trucks: 32 percent.
Sports cars: 27 percent.

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.” On the other hand, don’t expect a second look from Mr. Right-Hand Lane if you’re a woman who drives a green minivan, which would seem to be the vehicular kiss of death no matter which gender is sitting behind the wheel.

Here’s what the guys found most and least alluring in terms of women’s automotive fashion statements:

Sports cars: 39 percent.
Sedans: 22 percent.
SUVs: 20 percent.
Pickup trucks: 10 percent.
Hybrid or electric vehicle: 6 percent.
Minivans: 4 percent.

Among brands, women said they find a guy driving either a Ford (16 percent), Chevrolet (13 percent) or Porsche (11 percent) most appealing, which seems to indicate a preference for practicality on the one end and reckless abandon at the other. By comparison, men noted a preference for a gal who owns a BMW (16 percent), Mercedes-Benz (14 percent) or Porsche (10 percent). An older divorced lady of independent means, perhaps?

And no matter what the type or brand of make or model, the survey identified are certain vehicular attributes both genders agree upon that can trip that sensitive emotional switch into turn-off mode. These include having cigarette butts in the ashtray, trash on the seats or overly loud music playing on the audio system. Maybe that guy in the sparkling clean second-hand mail truck playing Mozart at an acceptable level might be worth a second look after all.

The fine print: Insure.com queried 2,000 licensed drivers age 18 and older during December 2013. Respondents were split evenly between men and women and distributed across age groups and regions.

Is there a car out there that can actually help you attract a mate? That was the question posed by Money UK’s research team in their Driving Attraction study. How did they conduct the research? According to Salman Haqqi, the team «created identical dating profiles across a variety of cities in the world, where the only difference was the make and model car featured on the profile.»

And, it turns out, «Throughout the pandemic, the popularity of dating apps has risen to all-time highs, with stats from Tinder showing that singles were making as many as 1 billion swipes per day in 2020-21.»

And, «the competition is fierce, with research finding that men could expect a match rate of just 9% and women a slightly more respectable one of 56% per 5,000 swipes.» That said, could having the right car in your dating profile photo improve your chances of finding (ahem) love?

Using the dating profile photo as a testbed of sorts, Money’s research team «tested over 70 models of vehicles from 30 car brands, across multiple countries to get an average view on how car brands performed in comparison to our control profile which featured no car at all.»

Okay, so what was the result? According to Haqqi, «Our research found that when it comes to dating, there’s no better vehicular wingman than a Tesla, with profiles featuring a Tesla Model S getting up to 113% more matches than those with no car at all.»

«On average, owning a Model 3 or Model S from the California car manufacturer, could raise your curb appeal by up to 110%, pulling ahead of luxury car makers Land Rover (57%), Porsche (73%), and even Aston Martin (99%) to take pole position as the hottest car in town,» according to Money UK’s research study.

Based on sex, «if you’re a man, Tesla, Aston Martin, Porsche, Land Rover and Audi were the most likely car brands to land you a date. For women, the story was the same, if less stark. Tesla again took the top spot, with an 11% uplift in matches when compared to no car at all.»

Interestingly, according to Haqqi, «Our study found that overall, it was the badge not the model that mattered. For instance, while the Tesla Model S took the top spot, the more ‘affordable’ Model 3 produced a comparable swipe rate, despite being nearly £30,000 cheaper.»

The Driving Attraction study concludes, «it’s pretty clear that the right ride can boost your odds of getting a date. [and] a Tesla could significantly improve your chances of finding love, so unless you’re a Bitcoin millionaire, it might be worth snapping a few photos if your next Uber is a Model 3, before you hop in.»
