 What's up YouTube, AJ here from The Art of Charm and today I'm going to give you three of the biggest mistakes you can make when buying a car. When it comes to buying a car there are three big mistakes that you can make that are going to hurt you socially. Now with our clients and bootcamp here at The Art of Charm we've noticed a few things that they do when it comes to cars that sets them back socially and I want to help you avoid those things. Now the first and the biggest is buying a car thinking you will impress others. You know getting a fancy car and then thinking that if you just talk about it people like you women will find you attractive. Guess what it doesn't work that way. That external validation does not make you more interesting, does not help your first impression and certainly doesn't get women more impressed by you. In fact back in the day I had a friend who went so far as to buy a car that he knew would impress the boyfriends of girls that he was hoping to impress. Thinking that if he got this fancy BMW that he knew all these guys liked they would talk about the car in front of the girls that he was actually after. Guess what that's a huge mistake. If you think that talking about your car when you meet people is going to impress them is going to make them think you're more successful or more interesting that is a fallacy. People are paying more attention to your first impression non-verbally than they are verbally. So we want to fix that body language to make a great first impression not rely on external things especially like an expensive car. The second thing that we see a lot of guys do when it comes to buying a new car they end up putting it all over social media. It becomes their profile photo it's every post on Instagram. Again they think people are going to be impressed so I got to show off this car. Sometimes they even name it and talk about it in the third person. Guess what that turns people off it's not interesting it doesn't make you appear cooler and is certainly not going to help you socially. You want to make sure that your social media profile actually showcases you and not your external possessions like a fancy car. Now the third biggest mistake we see guys make all the time when it comes to buying a car is they overspend. They get a fancy car that they can barely afford and then they don't have any money left over to socialize to go out to meet people to travel to go to conferences to start a side hustle. Instead they spent all of that money on a car hoping people would like them and they left themselves no budget to actually enjoy their lives and certainly not to socialize. So overspending on a car that you can't afford is a huge mistake especially if you want to be social and you want to meet new people.
