I'm constantly amazed how people generalize about one sex or the other. Young women think a Ferrari is sexy? I never did. I thought Ferraris and other such cars were just penis-mobiles that were driven to show off or hide an insecurity. I would actually be turned OFF by someone with a car like that. Aside from a few spoiled rich girls, I can't imagine who else would mistake that kind of conspicuous consumption as indicating anything valuable in terms of predicting a suitable mate. A guy driving a car like that to attract young women is just gonna trade his middle-aged wife in for a new model just like his car.
But it's so typical to blame women for men's excesses, because everyone KNOWS they only do those things because WE MAKE THEM.
