Let's say, I build a racecar because I want to start attending track days then tell women that I'm into racing (I really am interested in doing track days). How'd this improve my chances? Or would it?

Actually how'd hobbies of these sorts (niche but very dedicated sports, not just motorsports, but also stuff like tennis and bowling) would improve your chances?

women don't give a shit about cars. If they do, they're dykes.
You can't 'build' a racecar without serious funds and skill, especially not someone who hasn't a single track day under their belt.
RX8s are shit and a 2j boat anchor would destroy its weight distribution.

>>33844547
No need to go aggressive. Afaik, many do LS swaps. Also the 2jz swap is done by a professional garage (MMPower). They own quite a lot of stuff, including a green M4.

>Can't build a racecar.

Don't worry, I don't plan to build solely as a racecar. I plan to build a daily that's also good for racing.

> RX-8 is bad
Only a year model had the issues. S2/R3 fixed it. Majority of the RX-8's that are sold in my country are R3.

> Women don't care about cars
I don't mean the car. I meant the hobby.

>choosing hobbies according to how it will sound to women
doomed to fail. you will suck anyway
>choosing hobbies because you genuinely enjoy the activity and want to get better at it
that's how it's done

>building a daily
just buy a Camry, moron, we're in a recession.
There is no difference between cars as objects and as a hobby. Do you like make-up? You like seeing pretty girls but you don't care about the process.
Women are like that with male trinkets.

> Cars as objects
For you it may be true. For us petrol/Gearheads, they mean something. A piece of art. A piece of hard work. Why do you think collecting cars is a hobby? Why do you think there are museums for cars? If they're an object, would people care about them enough to collect? Plus, you won't know which car will become a collectors cars. Did people in the 80s knew that E30 BMW and AE86 Corolla/Levin would become a classic? No. But today, they're in the hands of collectors.
>>
>>33844625
I really am interested. My question was hypothetical.
>>
>>33844630
I am aware of how long a makeup process is.

Yes, I like them in makeup.
>>
>>33844837
>Why do you think collecting cars is a hobby?
conspicuous consumption
>Why do you think there are museums for cars?
tax write-offs
>If they're an object, would people care about them enough to collect?
people collect old beer cans
>Plus, you won't know which car will become a collectors cars. Did people in the 80s knew that E30 BMW and AE86 Corolla/Levin would become a classic? No. But today, they're in the hands of collectors.
the only people who still have mediocre 40 year old cars are doing it because they've got a mental deficiency? Sounds great, sign me up
>>
>>33844523
You should do the hobby because you love it. Women find it attractive if a man is really good at something; it's not the only thing but it helps.
>>
>>33844929
Mediocre? I assume you dont know how much an E30 M3 or an AE86 costs now.

AE86: https://www.beforward.jp/stocklist/make=1/model=252/model_code=AE86

Here's E30 BMW: https://www.classic.com/veh/1991-bmw-325i-m-technic-wbabb1305nec05425-n8yR7LW/

You decide.
>>
>>33844523
It's better than having no hobbies. However, the best chances are if you meet a woman at the track since you have something in common.
>>
>>33845469
I agree. I just wanted to know how such a hypothetical situation be. Yes, I am into cars, but I'm also a person (27M) good at getting numbers.
>>

>>33844998
Women generally dont give a fuck about your hobbies unless it's something really gay like rubix cube speed solving. Even if you are really really good at it they still wont give a fuck. The thing that makes them give a fuck is if OTHER MEN value you and respect you as a result of you being good at that hobby. It's called social proof. If you are the best racecar driver in the world she wont give a fuck. If other men respect you because you are the best racecar driver in the world or really knowledgeable or helpful or involved in the community or whatever, she will think you are high value.
TLDR: Get respect from men, then women will respect you.
>>
>>33844998
I agree
>>33845480
Calm down. I do get respect. Check >>33845479
>>
>>33845479
No woman you meet on the street is going to be like "oh shit he's into cars, that's so sexy"
>>
>>33845487
>>33845492
I'm calm, I'm literally answering your question. Same as this guy.
>>
>>33845492
You confused with approach on street vs face to face meetup. I am talking about the latter.
>>
>>33845498
I see. I am talking mostly about face to face.
>>
>>33845509
Same principal applies. You meet girls at the track, however few there may be that aren't already there with a dude. There are 1000 other guys also at the track also into cars. Simply being one of them does not increase your chances. Sure you can still pull based on your looks and charisma or whatever just like you can in the rest of the world, but the only thing that will make you stand out just based on being a member of a community is to be at or near the top of the social hierarchy of that community.
>>
>>33845526
It doesn't have to be a track day. Even at a random meetup is fine.
>>
>>33845526
>near the top of the social hierarchy of that community.
This is correct, or if you show unusual talent/potential then people will also pick up on that. Since I am highly athletic in my hobbies, I've even had instructors who wanted to smash.
>>
>>33845544
Idk what you're really asking. If I go to Magic night at the card shop will the girls I meet there like Magic?
>>
>>33845557
More like you decided to go out on a date with a woman and when talking hobbies, or even when you're just strolling around, you tell her "Hey, I'm interested in (getting into) motorsports!"
>>
>>33845568
Like another anon said, having something/anything to talk about is better than nothing. But unless she herself has an interest in that hobby she's not really going to give a fuck. Do you care when girls talk about ballet or crocheting or gardening? Sure, you'll talk about it and act interested to try to connect with her and it's nice that she has hobbies and all that, but deep down you don't actually give a shit what the hobby is unless you can relate. Women are the same.
>>
>>33845623
Cars are an objectively more "masculine" hobby than video games, anime, and chess so you might earn *some* points, but at the end of the day it's going to come down to the type of girl she is.
>>
>>33845636
Ofc.
>>
>>33845623
I definitely agree with you on that. Also I'm into games and anime too. Never hid it. Hehehe
>>
>>33845412
Objectively they're utter shitbox meme cars, and ugly to boot
>>
>>33845971
If they were like how you mentioned, I'm sure they wouldn't be well sought out.

Here's a classic Toyota Corolla sold for $64k: https://www.gtplanet.net/ae86-corolla-sold-record-64000-20210727/

It tells you why it's expensive nowadays. No need to dunk on people.
>>
>>33846144
>It tells you why it's expensive nowadays.
It says they're expensive because most of them got junked and the few that are left are heavily modified novelties.
>>
>>33846194
True. Add that into Supply and demand. What do you get? When the supply is high and demand is low, prices would be low. As supply decreases but demand increases, so would the prices of these things. And thrashing them will often reduce the numbers.

ive never met a woman who was into cars

I have about a quarter million across 5 different badass rides and none of my dates ever cared, they just want a comfortable quiet ride ( which none of my 400hp+ cars offer lol )

dont expect women to ever be interested in your quirky ass niche hobbies dude, thats what your guy friends are for
>>
>>33847293
I'm interested in your collection.
>>
>>33844523
You won't find women on track but you will find women who will be interested if you roll into town in a sports car. They don't know shit about cars, mind you, but properly clean and sporty looking car or "luxury" brandname most people will know(lotus=wtf is even that, BMW=panties wet) will work.
The question is if you want the kind of woman that wants a guy with a good car, these women will see the relationship purely contractually. You have luxury car so you probably also live in a luxury place and won't mind taking her to luxury restaurants and paying for her luxury shopping habit. If a guy with a nicer car and heavier wallet shows up she's out
>>
>>33848378
What if I reveal everything after she's already with me? And what if the car is a classic for petrol/Gearheads, like E30 or AE86, or maybe an E36 M3 as mentioned above, and not a classic like a muscle car?
>>
>>33848708
I doubt an average woman will have an issue of her man being a car guy of any type it's not so uncommon.
Also women won't appreciate your classic car collection, as I've said they know nothing about them, they just like the aura of luxury.
>>
>>33848733
Let's say you're a nice guy (not the stereotype, but someone stable) in your 20s, but still have such collection. What about then?
>>
>>33848378
>Lotus
What's wrong with a good ole Exige or Emira?
>>
You know how women travel and take pictures of themselves next to touristic spots and eating food but never really take in the historical or cultural aspect of traveling?
That's how they think of hobbies: it's a performance. As long as you look masculine doing it and, that's all that matters and dealing with cars is already high on the masculine hierarchy.
>>
>>33848871
> Historical aspect
I believe the Asian tourists do.
>>
>>33845480
>The thing that makes them give a fuck is if OTHER MEN value you and respect you as a result of you being good at that hobby.
ah yes, all those Pokemon Trainers and Dungeons and Dragons Game Masters who are absolutely swimming in pussy because they are feared and respected by other males.

>Women generally dont give a fuck about your hobbies unless it's something really gay like rubix cube speed solving.
I like how you're so brain damaged by the internet, the normiest most feminine non-autistic normal cool thing you could think of was speedrunning rubiks cubes.
>>
>>33848871
I bet you think squatting real loud at the gym impresses girls as well, instead of only just other men.
>>
>>33849804
>implying rubiks cubes are a cool non-autistic hobby for normies
>using equally gay autist hobbies as some kind of counterpoint

You either have a reading comprehension issue or you are an actual virgin.
>>
>>33849814
Poor anon has never had a woman compliment his strong legs and not flat butt
