When a man takes a bitchy, independent woman out to dinner, he's not thinking to himself, "without me, she won't eat. If he picks her up in a $350000 aston martin, she'll get into the car and say, thank you for picking me up. It was thoughtful of you to drive so far out of your way." This shows that she appreciates him, not the car. This is the woman who will make a man get out of his "me, myself, and i" mode and get him thinking in "we" mode.
