How much does the condition of a man's....

Appearantly men think that women think status is important as in many profiles men have pics posing in front of a beautiful car (theirs??)



At my age, I have a nice house and a great car (the greatness about my car is the nice colour, that it drives and has a radio)



Of course it is not a problem if a man is well succeeded and has a wonderful house and an impressive car. But to me that is not the glory of a man only, as most have been divorced and/or widowed and they have achieved that level of wealth together with their (late) spouses.



On the other hand, I would find it also strange if somebody my age would not have settled in the life.



But anyway, men who have a terrific income are not necessarily terrific people! And personally, I would doubt an extremely rich person to be focused on Christ.

Honestly it isnt the style of a man's possessions but rather how well he takes care of them. Nothing says eww like a person with a wonderful picture of themselves in a background of mess



A man with a clean rust bucket of a car will win my heart over a someone with a trashed mustang any day. For me how well a man takes care of what he has tells me how much he values them. If he can't even take the time to keep the trash out of his car...he probably wont value me either. It is a deal breaker.

"How much does the condition of a man's.......home, car ect affect a woman's perception and/or attraction to him? "

my perception of him? alot. i would think that he was not able to take care of his responsibilities worst of all himself. it would indicate either a disability, an inopportunity or a lack of care to do so which would in turn convince me that he is too much of a "project".

my attraction to him? alot. since i'm not looking for a project, i would't look in his direction. if he is a nice guy, i would no doubt be his friend but i would look else ware for a relationship.

oh yea.. the car. well they speak volumes for a person. one can tell if a person is in a midlife crisis by their age+car. it would be fair to gauge a person by what they drive since it is seen as a reflection and or extension of us. even if u only want it for it's wheels, it would show by what you buy. so for me yes, it would influence my perception and attraction to him. ...in what way? hmm, well it depends on the car and the type of guy i am attracted to. as both would mirror the other:winksmile:

and i do agree with brandy, as the way a person keeps their possessions does also gauge them adequately

that's a sensitive question.

when your younger those things dont really matter because you can build a life together, she cannot expect him to be put together yet, you know?

When your in your forties, well those things still dont matter BUT it could also be something deeper when a man isnt established yet.

Not talking about having an apt as opposed to a house or a lexus as opposed to a station wagon.

The condition of his life could be a mirror to the condition of his heart.

Maybe he cannot hold down a job or cannot manage his finances. There are many variables.

One of the things we look for is stability. Not saying you have to have $$ but am saying that be stable in your mind/heart. The things you should learn as a young man, like working, paying bills, being dependable and responsible...the basics.

if she sees these in your life then the other doesnt really matter, material things come and go.

I hope i expressed myself correctly.



bless you,

For me, it's not how expensive a man's house, car, etc. might be, it's how well he maintains what he has. And it DOES matter to me. It's a sign of good stewardship if he takes care of his possessions. And it's a sign of poor stewardship if he doesn't.

On the subject of cars, be wary of guys with sports cars that has an automatic transmissions. Don't let him tell you that flappy paddles count either. If he wants a car that handles well in the corners, then he's going to get a manual transmission. Automatics are for guys just trying to look cool. This, of course, doesn't apply to non-sporty cars, but if you see a guy in a Corvette with a manual, he most likely bought it for how it drove. If you see a guy in a Corvette with an auto, he most likely bought it to impress people.

The condition of a man's possessions means much. We as women are given to you as a gift. We are to be loved as Christ loves the church. You are to provide, protect and cherish us as something that is precious that has been given to you.



I would see how a man treats what's his. I think that how he treats and cares for his possessions that needs the type of maintenance that a car and house needs is representative of how he may treat and take care of me.



I need lots of maintenance! :laugh: Hair done, nails done, toes done, cute clothes to wear, hugs, kisses, etc... :rocknroll:



The condition of his stuff doesn't affect his attractiveness at all, but does affect my perception of whether he will be a good mate.

For me, it is just one of the things to consider.

How well does he take care of those things? Is he focused on expensive "things"? Does he talk about them a lot and let me know they are expensive?

Or, alternatively, does he focus on how INexpensive they are? How good for the environment, etc? Both extremes are red flags for me.

At my age, I am looking for a man who has the maturity and wisdom to buy within his means and take care of what he has. You got good answers from others so hopefully you got your question answered.
