Do girls like gearheads? (Guys that are into cars)

[DAKILLATM]

I am a car fanatic, not in a bad way but I admire and love to talk about cars and their specs. So do girls like guys that are into cars? Or do you find them annoying?

It's a hobby and there's nothing wrong with it in moderation. No girl wants you to extoll the virtues of the DB9 during a dinner date, or listen to you weighing the decision to get an intake and exhaust or a power programmer at the end of a long day. That's your thing and it should remain yours, so don't shove it down anyones throat. If it is a common interest between the two of you, go to car shows and drag strips. Have auto related dates and activities. Teach her how to work on her car. But don't just sit around talking about it all the time.

In my experience, the best people to be around are well rounded people that can enjoy a conversation about anything, so if you only know cars, you need to spend some more time expanding your horizons. You won't know less about cars, you'll know more about everything!

That is very true!

Yeah it's cool when guys are really knowledgeable about a specific topic. A lot of them go for cars lol. I don't care much for cars personally, because I know little about them. It gets annoying when a guy I'm talking to gets all into detail about his car and the engine he wants and blah blah... because I just don't understand and have no way to contribute to the conversation...

If he's willing and patient enough to teach me about them, however, that would be super awesome!

my boyfriend is into cars also and he always talk about it.. lots of times I'm annoyed especially when he talk about the engines and stuff but when he'll ask my opinion regarding what the nice color for the car, the rims anything that has something to do with the looks of the car I enjoy talking about it

[DAKILLATM]

Yeah I do get carried away sometimes like that, so I tend to limit my car talk to just the appearance and speed haha!

Since I love cars myself quite a lot, I think it's hot if a guy is into cars.. But if he was like too obsessed with it, like choosing the car over his girl.. Well, then it would've been just too much.

Yep no problem with guys liking cars . I like cars really I do, what's not to like ,everyone should learn to appreciate a good car .That saying some crazy fanatic(this could relate to sports as well) who goes on a and on about the suspension and engines etc etc is plain annoying

i actually REALLY like guys who are into cars, probably since I love to admire cars myself and would love to learn, but I don't think a " cars for dummies " book will help.

[gravygirl]

Yeah, if they know how to fix them. I'm not a car person particularly, but there's always something sexy about a guy who has knowledge that I don't.

You're not too old, there's still a chance for you to develop a personality ;)

[DAKILLATM]

Oh I have that haha! I'm just asking if girls like gearheads in general :P

[yopyopyop]

Girls in general don't give a sh*t about cars. At all. Only the most superficial ones dig it.

I prefer the term "petrol head".
