Is it true what they say about guys with big cars? small feet?
Hi Penny,
in answer to the first question, is it true that guys try to compensate for lacking in other areas with big/fast cars... well this might come as good news or indifferent news, but the answer is no.
It is a common misbelief that guys feel the need to compensate for small things with big things - but in actual fact the male brain is not wired this way. The true answer is guys never really mature the way women do, we like to have fun, and being in the position to treat ourselves to a big car is more of an ego-stroke then an attempt to compensate. It's not about countering insecurities. In short we do it because we can and enjoy it.
Hence the oft-cited 'penis-envy' criticism towards Porsche owners actually originates from other males who in fact have Porsche-envy, and attempt to make their lack of finances or male-practicality excusable by criticising a fellow man. I think this concept must have been passed to the female species by a rather well endowed but very poor individual. (why he never joined the adult movie industry, I don't know.)
For the record, I do not drive a Porsche, at least not until Hertz start renting them at reasonable prices.
Now to answer the big feet question, again, this is a myth, although the bone structure of the human body is in proportion to a very precise metric, cartlidge and floppy bits are not governed by the same requirements. It should be said, if the body moves too far out of variation from the metrics that govern bone length, bipedal walk would become impossible. People with variations in bone length outside the standard norm often suffer from heart failure due to the increased stress placed on the cardio-vascular system from attempting to conform to proper human movement. This is particularly true for people with 'sloped' shoulders.
But I digress, back to floppy bits.
Like ears, the noses, lips, tongue etc. other *cough* appendages are heavily linked to genetics. They are not fixed to bone length and thus someone with huge feet (governed by bone length) can have tiny ears, and other bits. Therefore, big feet are no guarantee of anything but big shoes.
Hope that clears that one up for you.
Cheers
Dr. D.
