Would You Date A Guy Who....

Would you date a guy who can't parallel park?

Did you know that there is now a "Self-Parking" Lexus? My understanding is this is a model year 2007, so it will be available in no time (if not right now).

You pull up alongside the car you need to back in back of....and then the car does the rest.

Ok, while I do admit that parallel parking is one of the most intimidating things to learn (more so than a stick shift). It is also a skill that no one on gods green earth should be without.

Who, pray tell, is gonna buy this car???

No self respecting dude is gonna touch this with a 10 foot pole. HIs buddies would give him endless crap. I can already hear the 'wussy' boy comments... and I would have to question the 'manly-hood' of my date, boyfriend, or husband who might drive such a car.

It would be like a guy who doesn't know how to drive stick shift! GASP!!!

But more importantly, us girls don't need this either. You have lost the War on Frumpiness if you lose your parallel parking skills. It is a proud accomplishment to learn. And keep sharp on....

So save your hard-earned money for help where you REALLY need it. Like a great push-up bra from Victoria's Secret : )

Cheers! Heidi

If I were ever on a date and a guy pulled up and let his car park itself, I'd have to assume this isn't the only equipment in his life you doesn't know how to steer in the right direction.

Oh my goodness, Heidi, I couldn't agree more. Parallel parking skills are important for everyone.

Self-parking car, my eye. What's next, self-chewing food? Laziness, people!

Where I live most people don't parallel park. Including me. I never learned b/c I don't have a need to. So I wouldn't think anything of a guy having this car. Obviously I'm not a city girl.
