Heights2Bastrop Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I tend to believe that guys drive huge vehicles to compensate for certain shortcomings. Uh, anybody know where I can get my Isetta repaired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashikaga Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 This may explain the proliferation of SUVs and pickups in Houston.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8914760/"Men whose masculinity was threatened — who were told that their initial survey responses were more feminine than masculine — tended to overcompensate for it in the second survey by expressing more homophobia, a higher level of support for the Iraq war and a greater interest in buying an SUV as opposed to other types of vehicles, Willer reports. These men also reported more feelings of shame, guilt, upset and hostility than did those whose masculinity was not threatened."I think I'm going to test drive that new Hummer...oh, and I needed to renew my subscription to The Military Channel.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>To me, there's nothing attractive about those Hummers. If I had enough money to buy one, I'd buy a new Corvette instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
