The more flashy parts and money spent on bike parts, the smaller the penis that the "weight weenie" is trying to overcompensate for. It's just like bigger and louder car stereos, faster and flashier cars, taller and louder 4x4 trucks, etc. Men are amusing creatures in that we somehow equate bigger, louder, flashier with tribe rank, manliness, and penis size. Me, I don't care. I have no need to assert dominance over the pack, impress women (or other men) with my massive manliness as demonstrated by my SRM power meter and carbon fibre saddle, or really impress anyone at all. I ride a bike because I enjoy it. I ride for the freedom to get away from the stupidity of societies; posturing, competitiveness, schedules, quantification, etc. I ride to be free.
