The need to signal status stems from insecurity, which can sometimes stem from a tiny stem.
Which is the fault of a culture that defined big dicks as good things. Most women do not care, and would pick smaller over painfully large.
The need to signal status is in our genes. Every single person on Earth does it. It’s what got your ancestors laid and their genes passed on to the next generation. This has been the case for as long as we’ve lived in groups - and it’s not even unique to humans. Just look at the peacock’s tail.
That sounds like pop psychology. Correlation vs causation.
It's like saying being selfish is in our genes. And no, it's a learned trait. Just like the need to jockey for status. It's NOT natural. You've been programmed.
And I swear to god if you say the phrase "high value men" I'm going to laugh until I lose consciousness.
I don't see what this has to do with anything I said.
"high value men" are ones who are held to some arbitrary macho standard, a big part of which is appearance. Big trucks are a part of it.

Yay some random book.
I saw one that said I can manifest things! Must be true. They wrote a book about it after all!
