It’s Friday, and that means answer time! For those of you who have commented with questions from previous ManFAQs, thank you. I’m adding yours to the list of questions women have asked about men over the years, and I will answer them all in turn – to continue to demystify the more malodorous gender for those of the gentler. Actual questions, posed by real women, and answered by a REAL man. What could go wrong?<\/p>\n
Question:<\/strong> What is it with the muscle cars?\u00a0 Are you really compensating for something?\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n Answer:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 As much as I’d like to say, no, we’re not…\u00a0 Yes, we are.\u00a0\u00a0But it’s not what you think!<\/p>\n We’re compensating for not being able to wear swords and six-guns anymore, for the lack of that feeling of righteous power coursing through our veins when we heft the battle club and look our enemy in the eye.\u00a0 We’re supplanting the sensation of superiority we used to claim by being muscle-bound manly men with the visceral vroom<\/a> of an overloud engine.\u00a0 Not me, mind you, I drive a, well, let’s not talk about that, but anyway I understand.<\/p>\n We’re compensating for a bygone time, when men were men, danger and honor were synonymous, and respect was still measured in who’s was longer.\u00a0 Now, we’re settling for who’s is louder.<\/p>\n
