Phallus or Trailer Hitch by Marc Rudov

Dollar Signs in Her Eyes

There’s a bottom-line question every man must ask himself about the woman in his life: Does she view me as a phallus or a trailer hitch? If you’re on the fence about it, allow me to suggest a test query: Will she be in your bed tomorrow if you stop wining & dining her? Now, if you stop having sex with her and she remains in your bed, it means, Mr. Trailer Hitch, that her phallus sleeps across town.

When you began dating her, you acted like a trailer hitch, bragged about being a good trailer hitch -- showing her photos of your cars, plane, yacht, summer home, ski chalet, and private jet -- and now you’re shocked to realize that she’s been along for the financial ride from the start? Didn't you see the dollar signs in her eyes? Give me a break. As I explained in my book, Under the Clitoral Hood, women are aroused by men, not money. Never mistake avarice for arousal.

How many times have I heard women proclaim themselves strong, tough, and smart -- and not in need of men’s money -- only to admit a few breaths later that they are receiving alimony? More than I can count. Perhaps that’s why so many of them carry Louis Vuitton bags: they need space, expensive space, to hold all their double standards.

The Greater Good

There exists no better example of a woman hitching herself to a man for a financial ride than Heather Mills, soon-to-be-ex-wife of former Beatle Paul McCartney. Heather wants $100M from Paul in a divorce settlement. She’s entitled to this much money why? And, to epitomize hypocrisy, Heather said the following to justify her avarice:

“Sadly, you have to mix at a certain level of people to raise the level of funds you need to bring about the greater good,” she said. “Because people are very snobby. These people who have lots of money, they’re either snobby or they’re stingy. If you have lots of money, you have to be stingy — because why would you want that amount of money?”

The greater good? Heather is referring to her own greater good and is, of course, totally full of it; everybody can see that. But, when you think about it, is Heather Mills that different from many women you enounter? Not really. It’s simply a matter of scale, determined by how much you earn. Heather Mills is greedy only because so many trailer hitches fuel her greed -- in her social life as well as in the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government.

The NoNonsense Bottom Line

When a woman at a bar expects you to purchase her drink, why is she behaving this way? Because she sees you as a trailer hitch. If you oblige her, she is correct. When a woman presumes that you’ll foot the bill for dinner, simply because she’s a woman, she sees you as a trailer hitch. And, if you choose to hook up, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself when your “travel expenses” escalate. The Estrogen Express is an expensive ride, but boarding it is a choice.

When you call AAA to pull your vehicle, you must pay for that haul. Why, then, does the typical man pay a woman to haul her? Because he’s insecure and knows nothing about the female libido. Wouldn’t AAA go bankrupt operating this way? Bingo. It’s no coincidence that marrying is called “getting hitched.”

How she sees you is directly connected to how you present yourself to her and what you’ll tolerate from her. So, are you her phallus or trailer hitch?
