I'd be interested if they asked 3 groups of 230 women: undergrads, 30 somethings and 50 somethings if they would get a different response. Maybe young men tend to do stupid things because young women want them to? I know I did my share.
That being said, it is a lot riskier to quit your job to start your own company, to emigrate to another country, or to tell members of your own family to fuck off with their toxic behavior towards your significant other than it is to hurdle over the hood of a car (all of which I've done). I'm guessing any woman worth keeping would see that. Because if she's just staying with you because you can hurdle a car hood, most likely she'll leave you for the guy who can hurdle a car hood blindfolded.
For the record it was a '69 Charger and the hood is really fucking wide.
