My Ex got a Porsche for Christmas

[Flavius Aetius]

His financial situation may be solid enough to not care about it. He could be doing it for tax benefits, writing it off as a gift. He could be leasing it. He could have it purchased under his name and just letting her drive it. Tons of possibilities.

He could be a beta male. But in the game of life he isn't a loser.

Tax benefits? Come on. From the OP's story this guy keeps attractive women around him by giving them expensive luxury toys(depreciating assets) and expensive dinners. And yes, unless you are Warren Buffett or Bill Gates, buying a $90-100k porsche is a bad move financially (100% chance of the price going down-- rapidly too).

The majority of people who purchase Porsche S class whatever are not even wealthy ($10 million in liquid assets). Most of them are aspirational buyers who "want to look rich", but don't have the where with all to save money/invest and defer gratification. They have a good job (or they do until they get downsized) or have a successful business (until a recession comes and wipes them out). They make good money compared to their peers, but are no where near close to achieving generational wealth.

In the game of life, most temporarily successful people don't know how to preserve wealth (adjusted for inflation). Instead they waste their precious capital by purchasing stupid cars, fancy clothes/jewelry, and homes larger than they can afford. To buy/lease a car exclusively for a woman shows incredibly poor judgement, which will likely be repeated in other areas of his life.

Not everyone is poor. I mean if Dan Bilzerian (http://instagram.com/danbilzerian) bought one of his model girlfriends a porsche, is that beta?

To him its probably nothing, he doesn't even think about it. He writes a check, doesn't feel it, doesn't care. Something so he doesn't have to be embarrassed to be driven around in. Increases the value of him to her friends and to others around him.
Not saying if you're pulling down low six figures that you should be buying girls porsches (or should be at any level of net worth), but some people are rich enough they don't give a shit either way. Its like buying a new jacket at the mall.

But to summarily say "BETA MANLET!" just because he bought her a porsche is a little misguided. Chances more than not, he's probably the opposite.

This just proves that Porsches are chick cars.

 

[Courage Reborn]

OP,

The reason this stings is because what seemed to be your sweet little angel turned out to be a material girl in disguise. You dodged a huge bullet. It will be easier for you to spot in the future. Win.

Second, you're feeling inadequate because the new guy is either a baller, or a fool. Probably both. Its like when a guy dates up to a hotter chick. The ex experiences insane jealously.

I have been in your shoes. The lesson? Fuck bitches. Get money.

My ex posted on her facebook page a picture of her new Porsche her boyfriend gave her for Christmas. I'm not sure what to think about it. To me this highlights again how feminism is so insidious. Women get paid from men naturally in relationships, so, having women in the workforce screws up the natural order of relationships.

In the modern world game is essential. The girls we all want, they're are men who will buy them Porsches and expensive dinners, however, with game and your head on straight you can get em younger and tighter, for free.

Still waiting on that photo

For a photo, you can create a flickr or photobucket account while uploading a picture only to make it private. Once uploaded, right click and "copy image url" or "copy image location" while posting it onto the forum. If you decide not to post it, then I respect that decision too.

 

[KorbenDallas]

She just took a picture of the car, she's not in that shot. What do you guys want a photo of, her, or the car? Obv I'm going to block out the face. I don't feel that comfortable posting a photo to be honest, but I'll post the car for the good of the forum.

haha, is that a boxster? Parked in a dirt parking lot behind some shitty tract housing? I'm not a Porsche expert but if that's a boxter you can get them for under 10K

I wouldn't worry about this one bro

THE BOYFRIEND IS A LOSER BETA MALE. Buying a woman an egregiously priced car that is 100% guaranteed to depreciate in value= loser. The way he is going he will be nice and broke in a few short years--then the little cunt will leave him high and dry. LMAO. Thank god she is no longer your liability.

I don't have a Porsche but I have a "cool car."

It's run through my business. It's a tax write off. You can write off depreciation, which if you owned your own business/were savvy about taxes, you would already know, right?

It's fun to take the top down and cruise up the Pacific Coast Highway with the sun on your face.

Then watch the sunset.

No, not merely fun. It's sublime.

You should try it sometime.

This is exactly what I was figuring from the start.

It's a cheap Porsche Boxster. Same as the BMW 323 convert I picked up. Cheap but most broads don't know the difference.

And yes, Boxster=chick car.

Getting a kick out of all the guys that assumed he went out and bought her a new $100K+ 911.

A Mini Cooper is the default sugar baby ride.

It's actually worse when I see chicks out in cars like the 911, or an M3, or a Merc SLS. They drive those things like old ladies, total waste of 500+ HP

You buy an expensive/luxury car for "business purposes" and think writing it off as an expense/depreciating it makes it worthwhile? Porsche 90K vs average used car under 15K.

Added pre-tax income to your business by purchasing regular used car=75K (assuming a 33% tax rate $49,500 after tax income).

That 50K in potential savings from not buying the "cool car" could be better utilized by purchasing appreciating assets/expanding your business. That is business savvy.

Both of these assets depreciate in value (and for tax purposes--obviously the expensive car more) and serve only a utility value--get from point A to Point B. Unless your job requires a cool car to impress clients (very rarely)--it is a waste of money.

This of course is all a mute point if you have 10's of millions and money means nothing to you, but for the average business owner (under $250K income) it would be a bad move to purchase a luxury car for business purposes on the flip assumption it is a write-off/tax benefit.

There are always going to be extreme simps who will do something like buy a chick a super-expensive toy. You can't control that...

Got to let it go. You just have to.

Why torture yourself? Unfriend this chick from Facebook and move on.

 

[Saladin]

She didn't earn it...

Realize that whatever you earned is 1000x more sweeter than something given to you.

True happiness does not come from being given free shit.

Enjoy your money instead of hoarding it.

Also, you essentially give yourself a discount on the car by depreciating it through your business.

Pro tip; Don't buy new.

 

[MHaes]

Mike you got that car recently? I remember you saying a while back (few years) that you were whippin' a shitty ride because your vehicle was not something you cared about.

Definitely. However, just spit balling here as in my area those cars are rarely seen, those broads are likely long term girls or wives. I don't see many guys popping for a new SLS for some bottle girl he just met. Could be wrong but I don't see it.

In my area you see broads driving diesel pickups owned by husband/LTR boyfriends. I try and avoid them in parking lots.

Here's one for $6900 with 78,000 miles.

Far from super expensive.

The car is a 1997-2004 Boxster. I don't know them well enough to narrow it down more than that from the pic.

Depending on the relationship this is hardly a huge investment in the girl. And if he's smart it's in his name so when he's tired of her he can "give" it to his next piece of trim once she's earned it.

 

[KorbenDallas]

I'm really not worried about it...I'm in my early 20's so, it just stood out I guess. I don't know many people getting cars for Christmas is all.
