Summary

This quote humorously highlights a contrasting perspective on masculinity. While some people value power and material possessions, the speaker suggests that true machismo lies in a simpler, more authentic way of living. Rather than striving for a high-performance car to impress others, the speaker finds the idea of arriving on a horse to pick up a date as a more impressive and genuine display of masculinity. This quote challenges societal norms and offers an alternative perspective on what it means to be strong and confident.
