Is it true that "men who buy new cars often are cheaters?" -A consideration of a wife married to a car-loving husband.

Are the rumors around the corner true?

I sometimes see rumors and web articles such as, "Men who often buy new cars are philanderers and flirtatious," or "People who change their watches frequently are philanderers and flirtatious. But if "buying a new car often = cheating and womanizing," then what in the world would happen to my husband...(-_-).

Yesterday.Holy shit, I just bought a Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe!and just got an email report (LOL) that to date, as far as I know, my husband has owned cars.

(1) 2-seater line: (1) 2-seater lineI had several domestic cars... Audi TT -> BMW 318i (not a 2-seater) -> Mercedes-Benz SLK350 -> Boxster GTS
(2) 5-seater line: (2) 5-seater line: (2) 5-seater line: (2) 5-seater lineAudi A3 2.0T to Golf 7 All Star
Sports car line for families: (3)Panamera Edition → Panamera Turbo
(4) Short-term ownership line: (4) Short-term ownership line: (4) Short-term ownership line: (4) Short-term ownership lineMcLaren 650 (or was it?) →Mercedes-Benz S63AMG Coupe
(5) Classic car line: (5) Classic car line: (5) Classic car line: (5) Classic car lineMercedes-Benz SL

I was like, no, no, no, I'm not just going to buy a new car, I'm going to have 5 cars...If the theory at the beginning of this article is correct, it would mean that he has four women outside besides his wife, and he changes women according to his mood of the day.

I mean, that's just disgusting!

But as far as I can see, there is no such pretense, so I don't think my car-loving husband is a womanizing cheater.

Therefore.What on earth does it mean that "buying a new car often = cheating and philandering?"I am married to a car lover husband. However, I did not collect any data or interview with them, so this is just a guess...please understand.

Diagram of four types of car lovers

I think there are several types of car enthusiasts in one word. The following is a diagram.

(I am quite biased, so please take this with a light heart.)

thereforeVertical axis of "car fashion - car geek" and horizontal axis of "rational (pragmatic) - emotional (affective)I divided them into four types, and here is what I came up with.

1) [Car geek + rational] = original system... I want to drive the car I really want without compromise. I research all the information about the car I want before I buy it. I definitely know more about the car than the dealer salesman. I believe in engineers, so I don't do any modifications.

(2) [Car geek + emotional] = custom type...I want to modify my car to my liking and drive it. I am a regular customer of Super Autobacs. I found that I spent about the same amount of money on customization as the purchase price. I will return the car to stock when I have it inspected.

(3) [Cars are fashion + rational] = latest-model-loving type...I always want to drive the latest model. I will sell it before the price drops and replace it with a new one. I feel it is a good deal because I can drive the latest model with a small difference. I often change cars during the company's fiscal year end.

4) [Cars are fashion + emotional] = Look at me typeI want to be popular with women. When I buy a car, I will show it off. I'll say, with a smug look on my face, "Do you want to ride in the passenger seat? I say with a confident look on my face. Every time I change my car, my girlfriend also changes.

Which type of man is a philanderer and a flirt?

In this group, I think my husband is definitely an original type of (1). My brother is a Subarist, and I think it's (2) because he really modifies things a lot. So, 1), 2), and 3) are good.

The problem is (4), the "look at me type!"

"Look, I'm driving a really cool foreign car! Tell me it's awesome!"The "target" type...even if he is unconscious, has a strong "desire to be popular with women". Therefore, he often drives out to places where there are women, and when he does so, he has a much higher chance of meeting women than the other three types.

Even in sales.The number of results is "quantity x quality = results"As is often said, the greater the number of potential customers, the greater the number of contracts, and the better the ability to negotiate to close a deal, the higher the closing rate and the greater the results.

In other words, if we apply this to (4)(I don't know if that's appropriate.)

The number of women you meet (quantity) x The advantage of owning a luxury foreign car (quality) = The number of women you go out with changes frequently (results).

I guess that is why. However, I wonder if the man in (4) is able to work so much. If he can afford to buy a new car, he must be making a good amount of money, and a man who can work is very attractive to women. He must be very attentive, too.

So, conclusion.

Therefore, I don't think it can be said in general that "car enthusiasts = philanderers and cheaters. Therefore, women should not believe articles on the Internet that say, "If you like foreign cars, you are a womanizer," or "If you are going to get married, you should not get married to a womanizer.It's better to see with your own eyes, feel with your own skin, and make a proper judgment of who they are.I think.

I married my husband, who is a car enthusiast, and although there are indeed many times when I think, "He's crazy w" (explosion), on the other hand, I am now glad that I married him, because he has taught me a new world and enriched my life.(It is undeniable that the car coefficient, not Engel's coefficient, is high in the household budget)

So...let's get to work.
