This has happened on every car forum I’ve ever been on.

Replace “her car” with “something”. The basis of social media is having a hundred random people give you approval for waking up in the morning. We’ve reached Peak Self-Esteem.

“Daytona? That’s like NASCAR right? I don’t watch that, it’s boring. All they do is go in circles. They do a race that is 24 hours long?”

Wow.

I really want to get into this, but I’m just going to leave it at that.

Wow.

Just because I’m not the one living it doesn’t mean I don’t see it happen, but please direct your anger towards another person compassionate with your flight. That’s a great way of alienating those on your side (hint, I am)

maybe you should go add “don’t spin and crash it” to your top picture up there.

Ok, so let’s say you are on our side.

Shouldn’t that make you, especially as a mod, want Oppo to be as friendly to women as possible to help.

That goes directly against you posting something like this. And no, posting it to be funny is still posting it.

Next time I can do that.

How’s the 1LE treating you though? You got a chance to drive it at all this week or go riding your bike? I’ve been on 2 wheels most of this week because it’s been too nice for November

I am being friendly, but if you can’t make fun of yourself at times, then life’s no fun.

Comedy and tragedy, after all, are both 2 sides of the same coin.

Also can’t stand the pictures of people wearing watches and holding their steering wheel....WHILE DRIVING.

I don’t care what you’re driving when I’m looking at your watch. I don’t care about your watch if I’m there to look at your car.

If we want to make fun of ourselves (for shit you are now assuming we do, along with other “car girls,” that others are construing as attention whoring), that’s our prerogative. Not yours.

I make fun of my own car for being an overweight mulletmobile. I see no need for a dude to post this with no framing of “lol at the thirsty creeps who are fawning over car girls” and then let the thread devolve into “ugh how dare women take photographs of their cars, so full of themselves, only us men can do that” and then have the nerve to tell me I need to laugh at myself.

Well I have an E36 and I, just as you I’m sure, have seen this kind of thing happen time and again, and my post was more to poke fun at those thirsty creeps, but you seem to be the one that raised this issue to have have it devolve like that without understanding my intent.

You seem to be assuming a whole lot before passing judgement. I imagine I can’t convince you otherwise, but there is my intent for you to consider. It was never meant as a slam against “car girls”.

I think the point usually is that their watch is probably more expensive than their crappy bmw :D

Both threads started before mine.

But yea, you sure had no way of knowing how people would take this and are perfectly content to tell us we need to make fun of ourselves, which would indicate that we’re the butt of the joke, and we need to be nicer since you’re clearly on our side. No. When someone’ss claiming on your side, they can listen to criticism without getting defensive and not just dole out niceties (without any apologies for previous nastiness) in an attempt to make it look like we’re the meanies. But go ahead and double down, it must be real important.

I read through some of the comments, and I think the ones getting slightly upset are missing the point. I think it is more making fun of bro dudes than thirsty chicks. Or at least, that’s how I see it.

Well excuse me for actually thinking people would cling onto the “thirsty dudes” aspect of the post itself.

I assure you I meant no malice behind it, but FYI there’s no need for sarcasm and condescending when you’re trying to prove your point. It really doesn’t help your case.

I’ve noticed you do that a lot with me, so I generally disregard it and actually try to see where you’re coming from because I know to “seek to understand before being understood”

Anyway, it’s up to you to believe it or not. From my perspective, you completely missed my original point with this post and ran off on a tangent that’s admittedly related in a way I completely agree with you but trying to placate me for something I’m not.

I call it like it is. I’ve tried being nice and still got ignored and treated like shit repeatedly, so I don’t buy that for a minute. But good on you for trying to redirect on my tone rather than my points. Really shows you’re on our “side.”

But I’ll reiterate: How about just not adding fuel to the slowly dying misogynist tirefire y’all got constantly ready to spring back into action over here? Not to mention the unrealistic premise of “gee everyone’s always so nice to those attention whores!” is really grating to those of us who have experienced differently.

It would be nice if other people got that before whining about women being attention seeking for posting car pics. And the fact that women posting car pics is also frequently met with sexist nastiness is completely glossed over, which is annoying.

I think that’s a fair point in your 2nd paragraph, but how about you try to be less antagonistic and respectful if you ever need to deal with me (or any user you discuss stuff); I have. Yes, I directed it on your tone because I think it’s worth an actual call-out. It’s unnecessarily provocative, and you can be much more efficient at conveying your message by just being straight-up, as opposing to menacingly sarcastic (speaking from personal and professional experiences). Am I wrong here? I’m curious what you actually think about that from your personal experience.

And finally yeah, I guess it is an unrealistic premise of “gee everyone’s always so nice to those attention whores!”. How is it that you’ve experienced it though?

If you wanted this to be a commentary on the behavior of the “thirsty creeps”, it should have included that. Just posting a picture with literally nothing else to go off of makes it pretty hard to gauge intent.

Very true. Then again I already said that, didn’t I?

I don’t normally offer additional commentary in my Morning, Noon, Evening et al “Oppo” titled posts

Ahhhhhh yes, I will always strive to be just as respectful and unantagonistic as when you charmingly told me not to spin and crash my brand new car.

And thank you for your concern/interest but I really don’t care to further discuss my experiences with the nastiness that has been directed toward myself and other women. It is dangerously close to making us prove it *really* happened before accepting that it happens, though I’m aware that’s not your intent.

Fair enough, I deserved that one.

Anyway, I’m sorry about that comment from a few months ago. It was pretty mean-spirited of me. Let’s put that behind us. In the end, I know you mean well as a Oppo user, but there’s no reason to be so mean toward each other.

What do you mean by this?

“It is dangerously close to making us prove it *really* happened before accepting that it happens”

Yeah no doubt. It just brothers me that they’re clearly going 50mph+ and they decided to whip out a phone to snap a pic.
