I donā€™t know. Maybe thereā€™s somethibg to it. I was a grocery parking lot a few weeks back. A youngster (16 or 17) drove through in a monster pickup truck. And I mean MONSTER. The wheels were taller than me. You literally needed a ladder to get into the cab! I thought to myself ā€œthis boy has serious issues with his masculinityā€. Why would he feel the need to impress total strangers withā€¦withā€¦a car that wonā€™t fit through the fast food drive-thrus. ---

The penis looks smaller when driving an SUV because the size of the vehicle for comparison. What looks like a cocktail weinie in a SUV looks like a one-eyed python in a Miata. ---

If your penis is small, buy a bigger one. Theyā€™re doing wonders with silicone these days. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tomndebb \* > \*\*Well, to be fair, it was hardly advanced as an argument. Rather, **DrDeth** made two clearly jocular references to the pop-psychology notion that people (guys) that have large, expensive toys are ā€œcompensatingā€ for sexual inadequacy . šŸ˜‰ )[/size] \*\* Yes- ā€œjocularā€ is the right expression. However, many SUV (and big huge honking truck, and italian sports cars, etc) owners buy them primarily for ā€œimageā€ rather than ā€œneedā€. Men are very concerned about their ā€œmasulineā€ image (related to penis size). In fact, there was a sad commercial about a guy who was ashamed to go get his minivan at the carwash, as all the ā€œreal menā€ had SUVā€™s. :rolleyes: ā€œReal menā€ drive a vehicle that suits their needs, and ALSO effects the environment as little as possible. Maybe thatā€™s a station wagon- maybe a compact car, maybe a PU, maybe even an SUV. if so- fine. But really- driving an SUV will NOT ā€œmake your penis biggerā€šŸ˜ƒ , nor will it make you seem more virileā€¦except in the eyes of those who are fools. Sooge makes a good point. Altho I doubt very few men deliberately buy vehicles for that reason, sometimes it is so very clear when they have.šŸ˜› Women rarely buy SUVs for that reason- instead it _seems_ like many of the soccer moms buy one in the (badly) mistaken belive that such a vehicle will ā€œkeep their little darlingsā€ safer. I am not sure if it is me or **Tastycorn** that our OP is PITing. If it is me, I do apolgize if she took my remarks as entirely serious. On the other hand, this then would be my 1st PIT.šŸ˜› ---
