Maybe because most of us don’t own real estate, which is one of the two primary ritual mating displays for middle-class American males. 🙂
We talk about cars too. That’s the other great American ritual mating display. FYI I drive a 1st gen. Scion xB, which has a paltry 98.4 inch wheelbase. So you can tell I’ve moved past petty male insecurities.
If anything I’m even more passionate about computers, monetary policy, social effects of virtual reality, intellectual property freedom, and so on. Ask anyone who knows me socially — I rarely talk about firearms but you can’t get me to shut up about the U.S. private savings rate between 1937 and 1945. But once in a while I like to discuss something less ethereal. Maybe we should start a Fram vs. Purolator thread!
