Men so often describe their sex as “simple.” I, however, find them extremely confusing. I don’t know much about men. Just when I think I have figured them out, I get thrown a series of curve balls, and I strike out, again. But, there is one thing that I know to be true about the opposite sex…
Men love power washers.
While walking home from my coffee shop a few weeks ago, I saw three different men attempting to use power washers and they all seemed so… excited! I was in a very upper-middle-class neighborhood where people have their cars washed by assistants, their lawns mowed by services and their organic, vegan, gluten-free meals delivered to their doors. And yet… the power washer sounded the battle cry of these weekend warriors, so compelled to rid their awnings of cobwebs and their driveways of grease stains. Go figure.
Now, most of my male friends don’t own a hammer, much less a power tool. So I asked Expert Male, Russell B, for his take on the power washing phenomenon. He had some interesting thoughts:
“On power washers. The reason that they are so f*cking incredible is that they satisfy a lot of things at once for a man. First of all… Power. At some point in history, a man thought of a way to clean things using a gas motor and pressure. Second, it's heavy, unwieldy and hot; therefore the power washer is something that could lead to a pretty significant burn or heat exhaustion and at the very least, some sweat. Third, all of this danger and power is being harnessed to CLEAN something that is really dirty. You can see the dirt getting powered right the hell off that siding. Power washers are good.
Power washers are very cool.”
So there you have it folks. Men + Power Washers = titillating obsession
