that's a shame because the interactions I had with the girl prior to this were quite successful.
Reading that above quote sound's like you've got a lot more problems than worrying about competing with guys with nice cars. I went 4 yrs of college with no car and i did just fine
You said your interaction with this girl were successfully? Not sure what success means to you. But for me with a girl i'm attracted to it involves me letting her know i'm sexually interested whether she accepts for rejects me thats success either way.
You on the other hand its highly doubtful this girl even knows you want anything more than a platonic friendship. Just cause your social funny and make her laugh means nothing anybody can do those things. You think the girls just gonna make the move for you sorry that's not going to happen.
This whole car thing wouldn't even be affecting if you weren't so worried about being liked and scared of being rejected by the girl. You're only hurt because you've invested so time and been so cautous to get literally no where with this girl then you see her jocking another guy, so you use his nice car as an outlet for your frustrations.
There's something you need to understand about my situation. Where I live, it's the norm for a child to get a car as soon as they turn 18 (become legal drivers). Going without a car would be simply unheard of, not to mention impractical.
Success to me is based on my own standards, and those change as I progress through the various stages of PUA. So, at this stage, my success was based on these facts:
-I held her interest
-Controlled the conversation
-Kept my state when another guy tried to AMOG
-Received various IOIs
-Most importantly, I didn't make any mistakes (by my own standards)
Your last two paragraphs are mostly negligible since you're basically deriving your own interpretation of events which never occured. I appreciate your analysis, but I can assure you that this is not the case. That's besides the point though.
The point is, or perhaps was, that it affected my inner confidence and self-perception. I couldn't help wondering if things would be different if I had money and a nice car. I went home that night feeling inadequate in comparison. In hindsight, I realize that I shouldn't feel that way, and I no longer do. However, my inner game still needs a lot of work.
