Men Buy Nice Cars To Get Laid...And It Works!

Depicted Above: Guy about to get laid.

The usual assumption you make when you see a guy driving a nice flashy sports car is "Oh, he's just trying to make up for his small package." But the real reason is very close. According to a series of studies done at Rice University, which consisted of about 1000 individuals, humans respond to flashy and luxury items very similarly to how peacocks respond to the flashing of their vibrant feathers. In other words, most men who bought porches, ferraris, and other flashy items did so because they were seeking immediate short-term sexual relationships. On the other hand, men who were looking for serious relationships and potential life-long partners avoided looking flashy.

As always, women already know this. But despite that fact, they instinctually responded just like peacocks. Women asked to rate a man's attractiveness showed drastically different results based on only two factors: the car he was driving and the woman's sexual intentions. If the woman was only interested in a short fling, she would rate a man getting into a Porsche as much more attractive than the same man getting into a Honda Civic. Alternatively, women looking for a serious (and possibly life-long) relationship would rate the man getting into the Honda Civic as being more attractive, partially because they recognize the fact (or simply have a hunch) that the man driving the Porsche is not looking for anything serious.

The moral of the story: Driving a nice car usually means women won't take you seriously. But sometimes this can definitely be a good thing :D
