I may have watched too much bootleg BBC shows, but they call it "bird pulling."
So how good are GMCs at attracting the ladies?
That may be a difficult question to answer, since most of the people
who have one are already entangled and/or sworn off women for good. :)
If one were a bachelor, how good would a GMC (say, a nicely cleaned up
77 Palm Beach...) be at attracting ladies between the ages of 25 and
35?
I am catching flak from my buddies. "Dude, you're a middle aged
divorced white male highly educated driving around in a GIANT VAN. You
fit the profile!"
So how do I pull off less Creepy Van Guy and more Han Solo? Buy a
fuzzy travelling companion? Oh, wait, no, then I would be travelling
in a GIANT VAN with a *puppy*. Bad idea. :)
Anyone got any fish tales?

You had better save up and buy a Corvette or better yet, a Ferrari.

On the day after my 52nd wedding anniversary, I have no idea whether
it would help, but I'd be trying something like a new Corvette as a
toad. :-)

I know of several GMC'ers that pull corvettes behind their coaches.
Just put the bait around with you.

Not too many GMCs are "chick magnets". Same goes for most GMCers I've met
:>)
Take the advice of others here and get a new C6 Vette and tow it behind the
GMC.

Don't settle for a woman who doesn't love the GMC. They're out there.
Maybe you can find a way to lurk around a "Sisters on the Fly" gathering. They like vintage RV's.

Pulling the Birds, I havent heard that saying since I was a kid in England in the 70s/80s. 
No reason why a GMC wouldnt make an excellent mobile batchelor pad as long as you are charming enough to get the ladies back there and it doesnt smell too bad insides.
No idea about the Corvette as a bird puller, I have a Lotus Esprit though which makes an excellent bait car........

Robin, from your e-mails, I expect you're going to need an independent,
thinking woman anyway. Just hang in there and see what happens. A cool
towd might help.
