Wondering why men love cars so much? Although we are not generalizing, but so far most men are identified to have this strange affinity to cars, speed and racing. They are very fussy and meticulous when it comes to pampering and cleaning their cars. They would even spend hours watching race shows like F1 and other illustrious car shows. Perhaps, their fondness to cars and velocity has something to do with their varying adrenaline level and male sex hormone testosterone. Scientifically, both adrenaline and testosterone are associated to high aggression level. Nevertheless, we cannot single out these two factors as the only reasons why men love cars so much. To help us understand better the relationship of men and cars, let us discuss other possible explanation as to why men are so attached with their automobiles.
Gain Acceptance
Who would ever thought that men are also afraid of rejection? Some men would even refer to their cars as the perfect partner. Cars can offer security and give pride to their respective owners. That is why some women who have car enthusiast boyfriends and life partners are at risk of developing relationship problems because of jealousy over one automobile. Some may even call their partner's car as the mistress, as some men would invest more money or quality time to their cars as compared to their real life partners.
Acceptance could also mean being socially adequate. Men love to hang out. However, society tends to become stereotypes. There are individuals who only hang out with people who are able to drive the best cars and those who live in the best houses. If you can't join the group, then you are definitely out.
Cars Are Part Of Their Everyday Life - It is A Necessity
Family men love their cars because they can take their families wherever and whenever. Working men on the other hand, takes pride of their cars because it helps them to get to work on time. Cars are their work partners. Both invest in their cars because they believe that their automobiles are important part of their lives.
Comfort Buddy
Men are not affectionate in nature. However, did you know that there are men who pour out their emotions to their cars? Cars are even given names. Perhaps, the reason why it is easier for men to be affectionate to their cars as compared to real live people is because cars are inanimate. They don't respond. However, they can be good listeners.
Satisfying The Need For Speed
Men are competitive individuals. They always want to be the number one. For this reason, there are men who like to drive fast so that they will be in front of everyone else. On the other hand, speed can be a good stress reliever for some men. Men also feel frustrated. It can be the daily stresses from work or from home. Some use speed to clear out their thoughts. Nevertheless, driving fast is not a very good way to remove tension because of the possibility of accidents.
Power
When a man is behind the wheel, he is in absolute control. If he wants to go fast, he can. If he wants to slowdown, he can too. Men like to be the head. However, power should not get over his head or else he will start breaking traffic rules.
Men and cars are inseparable. Men's fascination with cars is just like women's interest with shoes. However, both should know their boundaries. There's nothing wrong in loving cars or shoes. Then again, to have the right perspective, set the right priorities and know that things are not permanent and they are bound to go haywire someday.
