In some surprising news (or unsurprising, given who you ask), it’s alleged up to 90% of Australian men who wear RMs and drive utes do not have a lifestyle that would require strong footwear, nor the need for large storage space – other than the occasional sweet Marketplace furniture find, that is.
Speaking to a number of young gentlemen exiting a French Quarter RM store, The Advocate learns that the majority of men who fall under the RMs/ute combo work in an office, doing tech, finance or marketing – including Art Director at One Pump Digital, Gavin Daley-Hoss.
“Look, I’ll be honest, it is a masculinity thing”, admits Gavin, fumbling with his obscenely large belt buckle, “I don’t work with my hands, so in my mind, I have to make up for it by purchasing the most masculine things I can think of.”
“There’s absolutely no reason why I should be driving a Dodge Ram in the city.”
“I can’t fucking park anywhere, and everyone thinks I’m a massive wanker.”
“But what’s a man to do?”
Thanking Gavin for his candor, our reporter can’t help but wonder if there’s a tradie out there who drives a Volvo, and likes to wear leather pointed shoes and silly socks.
More to come.
