Study shows: Women think very low of men in minivans

According to a new survey by Insure.com, women say that attractive men tend to drive black Ford pickup trucks. And sports cars ranked a close second behind pickup trucks.

Women ranked these styles as cars that attractive men drive:
Pickup trucks: 32%
Sports cars: 27%
SUVs: 16%
Sedans: 11%
Hybrid or electric: 9%
UPS truck: 4%
Minivans: 2%
Mail truck: 1%

"The findings strike me as very accurate," says Joe Wiesenfelder, executive editor of Chicago-based Cars.com. "Among the general public, a black pickup truck is a reflection of a masculine owner. A woman walks up to a black pickup truck and says to herself, 'Here's a guy who can help me move, bring me large gifts from Crate & Barrel and do repairs around my condo.'"

At Santa Monica, Calif.-based Edmunds.com, automotive editor Mike Magrath and senior analyst Jessica Caldwell also view the survey results as plausible.
"It makes sense,” says Caldwell. “It brings forth the image of the rugged tough guy.” But Caldwell also drops a hint about her own personal preferences. “Some women like a lot more of a cosmopolitan guy, driving a Range Rover or Tesla Model S."

Why do women think so much less of men in vans? This makes me wonder, will women whose husbands drive minivans be more apt to cheat on them with a baw in a black Ford truck, or a suave bro in a sports car?
