I think you may have mis-labeled those. Who is more likely to have an all-in-one remote control, extra gadgets on the dashboard, a stereo with multitudes of bright displays and switches? By and large, the guys. To the average pseudo-geek, Complexity = Alpha Manliness, don't you know?

Cynicmonster:

Hi ScrappyLaptop, while I agree the guys love the tech gadgets, I think this is more to do with keeping the opposite sex happy. It's easy to turn a man on...turning a woman on takes a lot more fine tuning and fiddling to ensure the correct response.

I see your point. The toggle switch is obviously turned 'on' and all it took was a single touch...
