Greta was right -> https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/...small-undercarriage-crave-fast-cars-0cqmg6vsn
Men who are insecure about the size of their penis do covet sports cars, as Greta Thunberg suggested. And the effect becomes all the more noticeable, according to new research, as they approach middle age.
The study, titled Small Penises and Fast Cars: evidence for a psychological link, involved tricking men into thinking their penis was either more or less impressive than it actually is — and then testing how much they wanted to buy a fast car.
The findings were clear: if men believed they had ordinary genitals, they were more likely to express a preference for extraordinary cars.
Why might this be so? The researchers’ leading hypothesis is that the men“seek to compensate for their disadvantaged primary sexual characteristic with an increased show of secondary sexual characteristics”.
