The image the old school way of courting a woman, it shows that the man uses his resources to
gain an upper hand, a car for example. A car is a status symbol that a man has wealth and can
provide for a woman. In the traditional view, the man is the provider and the head of the family,
he primarily works, and the woman stays at home taking care of the house and caring for the
kids.
This image shows the competition between men when courting a woman, both men put their
best foot forward to show the woman they are courting that they are the best one. The woman
has the advantage here as she has the right to choose who she wants. The courting process in
this image includes two men trying to woo a woman with their words. With the help of alcoholic
beverages as seen in the picture, all parties are inebriated which hinders their ability to speak
cohesive sentences which may affect their chances with the woman.
