What is a stereotype of a real man? Tough, bad-ass, interested in cars and opposite sex, only thing he spends his free time on is 'tuning' his ride.
Is this truly how real man is meant to be? I don't think so, it is just like with blondes, not every girl with yellow hair is so dumb that completing any everyday action is a tough one for her.
Anyway most of guys are interested in cars, it doesn't mean that every man out there is a 'petrol-head'. We just find ourselves attracted to mechanics and/or looks of some automobiles.
That is actually what makes us different from beautiful sex. We are taking everything logically and women are making their decision mostly based on emotions. It doesn't mean that every man is completely washed off all emotions Robocop, we simply don't allow them to take control over us in most situations.
We just know what attracts us and what don't. Yeah, it is biggest difference between us and woman, if you don't believe me just look at their shopping habits, most of the time in shop they spent trying-on things they are not going to buy later. Is it logical? No!
Ok. So we are attracted to cars but what cars we like the most? Answer is simple, ones that we cant own, the fastest, the most beautiful, the most luxurious, simply the best of all, cars that are being called 'super cars'.
But what exactly we find so appealing in those completely impractical cars? I've decided to pick up the gauntlet and look at his problem from psychologists view[I am not one but who cares].
1. Looks.
I think that this is the most important factor of all. I based that assumption on fact that most man are visuals[they are more attracted to looks than other qualities]. If you think that you aren't, just think about last time you have seen some gorgeous girl, have you felt that worm wave of energy going through your chest? Maybe you've found yourself imaging all the things that you could do with her? If yes you are a hypocrite. Why? Cause you are feeling attraction that is based only on how she looks.
That's why most man think that some car is great only cause of its trendy eye-catching design.
2. Dreams.
This is another important factor in my opinion, dreams are deeply in our psyche. Everyone love to dream, Why? Cause in dreams we can be anyone, we can do anything and own anything, for example a super car. I am sure that you have dreamed at least once in your life how would it be if you would have a million bucks. Yeah, million is really a big amount of money, you for sure could find this dreams so real that you have even made some kind of commitment that you will have such house, wife and ... car that you always wanted.
Dreams are extremely powerful, actually it is scientifically proven that our subconscious part of mind, responsible for things like breathing, processing of movements and other things we don't have direct control of, doesn't recognize the difference between reality and dreams. That's why we can want something so badly, cause our subconscious after experiencing all the benefits of some situation[after dreaming] sends "info" to our conscious mind that we want it.
3. Social Status.
Another biggie when comes to people overall not only men. Social status is fundamental of human communication since beginning of our species. Social status is like rank of power, more power you have better you are ranked. Funny thing is that from some reason men tend to think that having something to show off like car, big mansion or private jet will skyrocket their ranking but it is of course wrong.
I think that it all comes from idea of picking girls on all those material stuff. The concept isn't wrong itself cause you will for sure find some chicks attracted to money but such friendship regularly wont lead to long term relationship.
