This in the local daily:
"Men who drive Porsches or flaunt other flashy possessions are usually not the "marrying kind", a new study suggests. "Researchers from Rice University, the University of Texas-San Antonio and the University of Minnesota found that men's conspicuous spending is often driven by the desire to have uncommited romantic flings. "This research suggests that conspicuous products, such as Porsches, can serve the same function for some men that large and brilliant feathers serve for peacocks," said study author Jill Sundie, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Texas-San Antonio. "The researchers also indicated that the men who pursued this strategy were only interested in short-term sexual relationships. "In analyzing more than 1,000 men, researchers said being in possession of a Porsche or other flashy luxury product did make a man more deisirable to women than owning a non-luxury item, such as a Honda Civic. However, the attraction ended there. Maybe that's why wifey wants me to sell the 914, it's a "chick magnet" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s) |
