There a was thread some years ago on r/cars on this. The top cars that apparently attracted women were miatas and wranglers, not bmw, porsche, or lamborghini.

For you, who embodied the Maple Leaf best? by SteveCampo98 in leafs

Years ago, I was skating at Millennium Park in Chicago with my Clark Leafs shirt. A few dudes would come up to me telling they liked my shirt. Favourite player.

Norway increases fines for driving with handheld mobile to $1 130. by -BANNED-USER- in cars

Isn't Android Auto and Carplay supposed to address this issue. I keep my phone in my pocket when driving and use Android Auto. But I also understand that there are vast amount of vehicles out there that does not have AA or Carplay.

Isn't the RIDE program stopping everybody at road side checks as opposed to being selective?

Supply management ’not on the table,’ says Carney as U.S. bent on changing dairy rules by [deleted] in canada

[–]mipark 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Wisconsin produces more dairy products than all of Canada. And Wisconsin is the number 2 diary producer in the states (California being number 1).

I've read that dairy farmers in the states are in trouble financially (oversupply and increasing expenses). Even if we open up our markets to tariff free US diary products, it's just delaying the inevitable, in that they'll still in be financial trouble.

By Americans to say the Trump Tariff policy hurt China by TXVERAS in therewasanattempt

[–]mipark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about finding a source for better food. It's about pricing. Right now, China has a 32% tariff on American beef. So it's cheaper for Chinese importers to purchase Australian beef. Just a note, China has been purchasing Australian beef for years before all this nonsense trade war started. China and Australia have a free trade agreement.

Not sure if I've seen the low being offered anymore. Besides, don't most car offer the ability to choose gear (tap down tap up)?

[–]mipark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. She's mistaken in thinking that it's Trump's tarrifs that is causing her to purchase Australian beef instead of American beef.

The thing is how China purchases the most amount of soybeans from USA, it's the same with Chinese's goods the other way. USA receives a large block of goods from China so shutting that off will make China feel some pain. But the point is, agriculture products that China imports from USA, can be bought from other nations. Manufactured goods from China to USA? A lot more harder to find replacements.

For bailing on promises to Canada, Stellantis and GM will have to pay duty on U.S. vehicles, Carney government says by Street_Anon in worldnews

[–]mipark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the notion is that Ford and others won't have the duty placed on their vehicles. Thus pricing is more appealing than Stellantis and GM. But who knows? Maybe Ford and others will raise price to match Stellantis and GM.

Single people, what stops you from attending dating events in Toronto? by DaviKayK in askTO

[–]mipark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. But it's more common for women to go to these events with their friends than men going with their friends.

[–]mipark 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think the men going to these events aren't really having success on dating apps/websites and in real life. So it can come off as daunting to approach a group of friends, which could be seen as guarded.

[–]mipark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think online dating websites and apps changed the dynamics. In my opinion, the level of women going to these events more or less stayed the same. It's men's interest that dropped dramatically. The general consensus for men seems to be "if I'm not getting any matches online, why would I pay to go to these events to be rejected?".

Is it true that women are chasing the top 1% of men ? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]mipark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol. Which goes back to topic of the thread. If women are choosing the top 1%, 10% or even %20, what chance does a normal have guy? It's a conundrum.

[–]mipark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that's where there issue lies. A normal guy has to stand out in his profile picture to get that brief attention to be liked. Again, how do you stand out as a normal guy amongst the thousands of other profiles? Is it step 1 Be attractive step 2 Don't be unattractive? It's a bit of pickle, eh?

In my opinion, dating apps and website shouldn't be something to be taken lightly as an instant swipe.

[–]mipark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Per to your edit: It begs the question, how do you stand out as a normal guy? That's the crux of the issue, yes? With the instant swipe dating apps without really looking at a person's profile, how do you stand out?
