She Said She Can't Date a Guy Who Drives a Kia
I heard a woman say something incredibly dumb that I had to write a post on it. She said that she “Couldn’t date a dude who drove a Kia.”
She went on to say that Kia’s simply weren’t masculine enough for guys to drive.
The funny thing about that entire conversation (I overheard) was that in the next breath, she went on to say that she couldn’t understand why she was still single. Well, making dumb statements like that is probably one of the reasons why. But let’s just go back to that statement for the moment.
I believe that sensible people make their car selections based off of what they can afford and not what comes across as feminine or masculine. Superficial people who only live to keep up appearances (like the woman making that comment) would only purchase something to try to impress others (in spite of the fact of whether or not they could afford it).
No real man is going to stoop so low that they would be willing to purchase something that they really can’t afford to try to impress women. Now I know there are a lot of dudes who do this but the key words are “No real man.”
Sadly, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard someone make a statement like this. But it does go to show you that for some, a priority in a potential mate doesn’t have anything to do with their character. Their priority has more to do with material things that a person possess. I actually feel sorry for people who think this way because one day (because it will happen) they will be in for a rude awakening. They will come to realize that what you have has absolutely nothing to do with who you are.
What do you think?

I can't date anyone shallow like this lol
One word for a girl like this: LEWSER!
What a bitch. Lol.
That's just ridiculous! People these days...
Oh my gosh. I never got the whole "girls only like guys with cool cars thing" maybe because I didn't get my license until I was 18 so I was just pumped to meet a guy who could drive, let alone had a car. lol But seriously, never have I thought of what kind of car a guy had as a make it or break it kind of deal. Even if a guy doesn't have one I would be understanding because I have so been there and I understand how it goes.
The thing I notice most though is that she won't date a guy who drives a kia and she wonders why she is single. Why is it women feel so justified having such lofty, impossible, and soooo many standards? They will never get a guy if they are waiting for a humantiarian, millionaire, James Marsden look alike, male-version of themselves to come speeding up in a sports car to sweep them off their feet. And this is gonna sound bitchy, but who among us girls are even in that kind of league? Lets face it, most of us aren't going to get anything more than a sweetie pie with a sports addiction and a receding hairline. And thats okay. Because they are the average joe, and we are the average jane.
end rant. lol
I don't care what kind of car he drives as long as it doesn't smell and he washes it lol
I don't even really think most kia's are feminine to begin with.
You could point out, "At least I have a car."
My ex drove a baby blue Ford Taurus that used to belong to his grandfather. No, that wasn't the reason why I stopped seeing him.
I consider anyone who drives one to be economically conscience and that is a winning attribute.
I feel like if you had punched her in the face and she had called the cops, the cops would've have let you go when they heard why you did it.
What a dumb, ignorant, shallow bitch.
lolololololol. dang. bitch should be happy the guy even has a car.
LOL
A guy with a great car catches my attention, but because Id rather see under his hood then date him.
To decide if you date someone based off that though..... eehhh kind of stupid.
I drive a Kia Forte and my boyfriend drives an old 79 Dodge Ram truck. Mine has better gas mileage, more road trips. Sure he looks more masculine in his truck... but my forte is the gothmobile. :D And can outrun his in circles. Kia for the win. xD
actually, it's kind of a turnoff when i meet guys who spend so much on a car... it's unnecessary. and you know they do it for the ladies.
who in the city owns a car anyway? if some bitch criticized me for that, i'd turn her down before she could turn me down.
KIA's are off the chain.. I was gonna get one but I couldn't afford it. Next year I'll buy one and bling across town showin all the ladies what I'm worth. Muhehehehee.....
No but really, I would rock one.
Good thing my boyfriend doesn't judge me like that. My car is quickly turning in a beat up old Civic :p I've really never even paid attention to what a guy drives especially at this age. I actually think it's really attractive when a guy does buy a car himself and his parents don't buy it for him. It's the norm here for parents to buy their kids a car which I think is true for a lot of places. I don't care how old and/or beat up the car is, if he worked hard to buy it then it's attractive. On another note, I'm pretty sure when I'm 40 I wouldn't want to be with someone who was still driving that same beat up old car. I would hope by 40 he was working at a job that could afford him a nicer looking car, but not necessarily an expensive one. Kias seem like pretty decent cars. Everyone I know who has one loves them.
And that is why she's single...
Oh, man, Kias used to be something I would never want to buy. Now, though, those new Kias look pretty good!
Hahahahahahahahahaha. Wow.
Yeah. I will admit. I would not date a guy who bought a brand new Kia. If money is an issue, then there are cheaper cars out there. It would be different if someone had given him a Kia, but I have found that guys who want other vehicles will find the way to pay for them.
But it comes down to this: guys who share the same interests as myself, do not drive small cars.
He can't bring a car like that camping. Unless he considers a paved road to an RV site camping, in which case, I wouldn't want to date them anyway.
Also, he can't haul things around (snowmobile? four wheeler? building materials? furniture? canoes? hay for the animals?) and would always be asking me or his friends to help him with this stuff. That just doesn't align with the kind of lifestyle I live.
And, finally, I don't want to have to drive his ass to work when it snows and his Kia can't make it out of the driveway because the roads haven't been plowed.
I am perfectly fine with my boyfriend and his inexpensive car. I like his old car, it's just more modest and economical. <3 I appreciate being with a guy who isn't materialistic.
If that is how she feels, she may as well identify it and be honest about it up front. She knows herself well enough that she would not be interested in a man who makes that kind of choice. Or maybe she has her own idea of not wanting to be seen being driven around IN a KIA.
I will bet there are times that all of us have made that first yes/no decision to get to know someone better based on something superficial, because usually that's all we have to go on and if the initial attraction isn't there...it isn't there. We say 'no thanks' to the chubby girl, the guy with the bad haircut, the person in the lame shirt, with the annoying laugh etc etc.
We inherently understand that the choices a person makes that are visible from the outside, DO reflect who they are inside. It's not as superficial as it sounds. How many chicks would want to date a guy wearing bright green jeans? Be honest now.
You can hate all over her and call her shallow...this whole holier than thou idea that "I ONLY date people for the beauty of their soul" is a bunch of dishonest bullshit. In the end, that may be how we choose a lifemate, but it's not usually how we choose who to dance with at the club.
Well, I would say she is just kind of dumb. Not mant people have a choice, say a son is granted a KIA from his parents, or a guy chose KIA because it is a budget car. To be honest, the budget car would never be very fancy and considered to be REAL MAN CAR. She is implying that she wants some rich guys who she can never get because of her own quality. It is althought true that KIA is never a manufacturor of speedy fancy car that are considered to be COOL car. KIAs are mostly cars for people who merely want a reliable car for day to day use.
