Millennials drive for 8% fewer trips than older generations:

we surveyed 2,225 American adults of all ages. On average millennials drive for 8% fewer of their typical weekly trips than baby boomers or Gen Xers.

Moreover, this difference does not disappear when we control for demographic information, proving that millennial behavior is not just about being young, single and low-income. Instead, what distinguishes millennials are their attitudes.

Millennials are more pro-environment than previous generations and less likely to believe driving gives them independence. They also see driving as more dangerous and want a travel mode that offers side benefits such as exercise or the ability to read or use social media.

The generational difference has profound implications for auto manufacturers.

    Imagine how bad it must be to be an average black guy. She's expecting so much more, it will look tiny. Conversely the average asian dude is probably constantly getting "Wow, it's bigger than I expected!" .

    "She's expecting so much more"

    Yes, let's us guys figure this out. The ladies can't be trusted to tell the truth. In every survey ever done, your dick doesn't appear in the top 10 must-have items in a partner. Of course, if you are being selected on the basis of a must-have list then that's pretty fucked up too. So yeah, big dicks.

      The "partner" choice does not necessarily have any relation to the reproductive choice.

      It sounds like some ideas from feminism may be applicable.
