I'm in the NE US and pass a Porsche at least every other day and park with 4 others every day. I've seen one female driver of a Boxster, almost everyone one driving a Cayenne is female and a few driving 911s. It's because of the "do I wave" or "don't I wave" drill when you pass another Porsche that it's easy to notice.
Three things I can say with a high degree of confidence, 1) Women love a Porsche and 2) Women love a convertible but 3) the vast majority of all Porsche owners and drivers are men. The 911 convertible to a woman is da bomb. The Boxster is cute and fun. A recent study showed that although women date men who are bulked up physically they prefer normal sized men for long term relationships and best of all intimacy. Sooooo, they might ove to be seen in a 911 but for long term "intimacy" it might just be the Boxster? Yippee Kayay!

Hey, be careful! I got slammed on another thread for suggesting that women in general may not be up to driving a Porsche.
Now, I was kidding, but hey, if they can't recognize one, can they be trusted to drive one?
This is IN JEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here in Central PA there are about (80) Porsche club members.
I never see a female driving a Porsche - Boxster.
Except . . . .
When I'm not home, my wife loves to take the Boxster out for a cruise.
She thinks its a great FUN car, and likes it alot better than then the 928s4.
I can't blame her!

You have to be very careful about generalizations. Do more men than women drive Porsches? I think so, judging from the chatgroups. That excludes the Cayenne, of course. Women probably own the majority of SUVs and usually drive automatics. Never mind my wife hates SUVs and drives a stick. So there you go with generalizations.
I know a Boxster owner whose wife and himself both race their Boxster and their two 914s. So there you go with generalizations.

Likewise, do more men than women go to chat rooms?

True
True, but I find it to intimidate women.
I would assume you've been to Campo Alegre.
Well known in the caribbean!

Been Boxstering for 8 years in Silicon Valley, where Boxstirs are a dime a dozen.
Met women owner owners over the years. With one exception all the women owners I met had manual transmissions. Subject to that one exception, all tiptronic owners I have met were guys.
I have a Barbie Boxster. Manual transmission of course.

Tool Pants, where did you get that "Barbie" Boxster? My two year old son would just die to have one (after I de-ambered it). One of his first words was Porsche which he pronounces like pwoorsha (he cannot say without a huge grin). I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Barbie had a Boxster in 1998, from Mattel. It is guards red, not pink.
This product has been discontinued. Bought mine in 1999 from ebay. The doll is from a friend that has a daughter.

No I have never been to Campo Alegre. It was just a joke. Although I know people who have worked there.

Maybe women drive Boxsters that someone else bought for them?
Maybe women are driving their husband's Boxster?
Maybe women are driving a loaner Boxster while their Cayenne is being serviced?

I have been told several times that my car is a "chick" car and I even had my new sister-in-law tell me real men drive 911's where she comes from and only the women drive Boxsters. Of course my mouth dropped that someone could be so rude especially with her knowing how much I appreciate my car. The reality is I could drive a 996/997 convertible if I wanted to but I think that the Boxster is visually more balanced and is a far greater value. The perception that the Boxster is a chick car is held by a few but they are definately in the minority as I get positive comments about my car on an almost daily basis.
