Penile Compensation

I had a thought, based on the commentary on this thread.

Someone said that the person must be compensating for something…and it got me thinking.

What is the opposite situation? A Person with nothing, his pecker peeping out from under his cutoffs, 4 ex-wifes and 30 kids running around? THAT’S a tasty thought!

I say this because I happen to like fast cars. I don’t have an issue with the equipment Og gave me, and I enjoy driving. I’ve fathered kids. If my cars happen to draw attention, groovy. I can say my personal appearance doesn’t. If I were in a police lineup at a Chippendales, I would not be picked by personal appearance.

You really never EVER hear about a kind, good, caring, guy, and his big house. It’s the guy with the spray on tan, trophy wife, and pretentious house he can’t afford.

So, why the sour grapes for wealth and flash?

I can add that, having ‘won’ the consumer game, all I really have is a big house full of stuff. (well, and family, and the satisfaction I get from various hobbies, and a rewarding job, and a lovely wife…oh, and the desire to not give a flip what other people think of my accomplishments.)

But really. ‘He must be compensating for something.’ My thinks thou dost protest too much.

I think the basic idea is: People dislike show-offs. Ergo, when someone is trying to show off their fancy car or wealth or big truck or whatever, people will look for a way to take the person down a peg. Penis size is an easy target for that because it’s not easy to refute such allegations in polite society.
I think sports car fans get the penis size allegations so much because so many of them ARE guys trying to show off - the whole point of the car for them is to try to get girls. I don’t think that most people would have such thoughts about some family man quietly enjoying a sports car without trying to impress everyone else with it.

One day an elephant was walking through the jungle, when suddenly he fell into a large pit. He called for help for hours, until finally a mouse heard his calls. “Don’t worry,” said the mouse. He scurried off, got in his Porsche, and backed the car to the edge of the hole. Tying one end of a rope to the rear bumper, he tossed the other end to the elephant. Than, flooring the Porsche, he dragged the elephant to safety.

Two weeks later, the mouse was walking along through the jungle when he fell into another hole. He cried for help for hours, until, lo and behold, the elephant strolled by and heard his cries. “I’ll save you,” said the elephant, and he lowered his dick into the hole. The mouse scurried up the enormous penis to safety, and they both went away happy and safe.

The moral to the story: If you have a big enough dick, you don’t need a Porsche.

Why I do believe you’ve nailed, exactly, the kind of annoying behavior I’ve described in the OP! :slight_smile:

Some envious douchebags are jealous of rich folks with nice cars. And some rich folks with nice cars are douchebags.

Turn, turn, turn.

From here

“African bull elephants hold the title of the largest relative penis size in the animal kingdom. The longest elephant penis can grow up to six and a half feet long.”

I must say, I was really worried typing “Size of an elephant penis” into Google.

Basically, it ain’t the wealth, it’s the flash.

And in my experience, what they’re using flash to compensate for most often is their lack of wealth.

Couple years ago when I was nursing my 83 Corolla to and from work I’d occasionaly have an acquaintance ask me, “What are you doing driving that thing?” The answer was usually a variant of, “I’m compensating.”

Same thing for when my ride was a little stock Nissan quarter ton 2WD pickup.
ETA: 15 inches. At rest. :stuck_out_tongue:

Do you use it as much as a guy uses his flashy sportscar? :wink:

(If so, Good on Ya! Don’t catch nuthin’)

So you can HAVE money…just not USE it. gotcha.

Nope, there’s a difference between using it and showing it off.

You can drive a sports car without gunning the engine at every stop light or mentioning it in every conversation.

I have a beautiful wife, two beautiful daughters, gorgeous house, dream vacations all all kinds of other things. People rarely comment on my penis length. That is good because mine is only 14" which is probably well below average based on what others have told me.

Judging by this picture, I think I’d rather have the car.

Jealousy, plain and simple. Even if it’s supposed to be “funny,” most people who make these cracks secretly wish they had the huge truck, the sweet car, the gun collection, or whatever.

Me too…

From the ground. :smiley:

ETA: Astro, Softpedia?! ROLF

I’ve made that comment many times in my life. It’s never made about someone just nicely driving their sports car. It’s usually the guy in the wifebeater, music blaring, gunning their engine at the red light, taking off when the light turns green, driving 80 mph in a 50 mph zone, etc.

The two comments that are usually made are “compensating much?” or “oh yes, now I must leave my husband for you since you have impressed me so much with your immature behavior!”

Or not.

You’re missing the other half of the equation though. Leaving the light with alacrity is FUN. You may find the person who’s compensating for something isn’t thinking at all about your opinion because it feels really GOOD to accelerate in a car that has MUCH more horsepower than it strictly needs to get around.

Anecdote all you like about the asshole in the sportscar (and I’ve encountered them, and I’ve purposely NOT goaded them on because it wasn’t particularly safe or wise to do so.) but there’s a reason they’re so fun to drive.

What are the racerchicks compensating for?

I have lovely home and drive a fabulous, enviable car. But I’m a girl.

So how can I adapt this penile compensation thing to fit my gender?
