Short men

Why Do Short Men Often Drive Large Vehicles

Short men may choose larger vehicles to improve visibility and feel more confident on the road. Bigger cars can also provide a sense of stature and safety, helping to compensate for height differences and social perceptions.

...then that would affect tall men too!



...you mean, it doesn't? I see all kinds of relatively tall men overcompensating or "peacocking" via material items and conversely, shorter dudes that aren't the least bit showy. Nonetheless, there MAY be a false/exaggerated correlation in effect regarding this theory though.

I would think a big/tall man would need a bigger vehicle in order to be comfortable...

SHORT TALL BOTH HAVE THERE PROBLEMS
I GUESS MEN BETWEEN 5 FT 10 INCH AND 6 FT 2 INCH ARE THE RIGHT SIZE
WOMEN BETWEEN 5 FT 4 INCH AND 5 FT 10 INCH JUST RIGHT
IM OVER THE 6/2 SO IM A FREEK BUT RATHER BE TALL THAN SHORT
THIS WAY IF THERE IS TROUBLE I CAN HIT THEM ON THE HEAD LIKE A HAMMER
RATHER THAN PUNCH UP AND HIT THEM IN THE BALLS.
IF ITS A WOMAN AND YOU PUNCH UP ON HER YOU MAY GET YOUR FIST STUCK.

Maybe they just like trucks. Why is that so weird? I think you guys are overthinking this.



Some do, yes-- but there is something to it.

Really.

Especially what some of them DO to the trucks. omg

And it isn't just trucks-- it may be expensive sports cars, or loud motorcycles.

And they are usually obvious 'showpieces'.

Just because someone drives a regular truck doesn't mean they are insecure, no.

+1. Real alpha males don't go around screaming about being alpha, you just sense that they are. Only bitch boys & insecure men do that.

**Nods head slowly in agreement**



They also accuse other men of being "girls" or "un-manly"-- it's soo obvious.

And I can't stand men like that.

You're right-- they're bitches. 😄


(I think I mangled your quote, btw-- sorry!)

Some people like that stuff. Has nothing to do with their height. I have never noticed this. Maybe you notice this because you don't like short men or maybe you don't know how to mind you own business. Idk. A lot of men like loud things and sports cars. I doubt every short man buys expensive things to make himself feel better about his height.

My ex was like this, LOVED big trucks/cars, expensive vehicles with add on mods were his thing. He wasn't short though, he was quite tall, about 5'11, not TOO tall. I dont like too tall. Some women do, though. They love them towering like a basketball player.

I was speaking of ANY insecurity.

I also have my reasons for suspecting that some of these "showpieces" have to do with insecurities; that is one example.

That is my experience-- and believe it or not, I am free to have and voice my opinion on anything displayed publicly.

"Publicly" makes it anyone's business. 😉
