I'm sure there's probably some deep psychological analysis that goes into these decisions, not that this clinical approach to appealing to audiences is necessarily, or even usually, successful in advertising.

If I had to guess, though, it's probably meant to "disarm" male viewers. Men usually don't want to discuss or hear about awkward, embarrassing "personal problems", especially with other men. I think the rationale behind using female voice overs is that it's easier to listen to a woman, serving as a generic stand-in for a loving or nurturing  female figure, like a wife or a mother, or even a daughter. Men are more likely to be coaxed into considering/discussing uncomfortable subjects with the types of people, generally women, they feel they can be vulnerable with, without fear of judgment.

Hilarious commercial, BTW. For all the wrong reasons.
I agree with your analysis.  I've read that men are programmed from birth to take direction from females because, well, there's that whole Mom thing; your first bonding experience either by breastfeeding or bottle feeding, usually it's you mother who fed you, etc., and then their first teachers are usually women, i.e., preschool, kindergarten, etc.

This lady in the (hilarious) ad looks anything but loving and nurturing though.  LOL  She's kinda scary!  Shocked

I agree with Raytowner too. Especially the part about men not wanting to talk to other men about embarrassing personal problems.

You're never gonna see something like this happen....

There could be a good amount of truth in the mother theory, but I think for the most part, it's more of a macho thing.

You try to talk about stuff like that with other guys and you'll either get your ass kicked, lose all your friends or both.

OTOH, occasionally guys will open up about such things with other guys, but only with real good friends they've known for a long time.

Peyronie's Disease?
 
Some men would probably be happy to have it, but maybe we got stuck with lumbago limpbago due to age and 'LowT'...I would say 'Dr.' Lorena Bobbit may just have a surgical procedure to address it.

Anyone know how Peyronie's disease got it's name?

It's a combination of the words "penis" and...



... macaroni.

Confused...the more one looks at the name, the more one might be subject to make a really baaaad choice while trying to order dinner while vacationing in the mountains of Southern Europe...I can just see the scene clear as day in my head...
Embarrassed"Sweety...I' love you SO much! This far-away mountain vacation in Andora is JUST what we needed! And now here we are in this fine restaurant with you about to try out your new-found language skills by ordering us dinner, thanks to Berlitz & Rosetta Stone...."
HeartPig"...of course, oh love-of-my-life, 'Tweety Bear'! Camarero! Bi pirinarioen aginduak Peyronie-ren pierogi, mesedez?"
And so, in your finest Basque, you have just sent the waiter off into the kitchen in tears, trying so hard to contain himself.
Now you are wondering about the what they hysterical laughter is about and why some of the other patrons are looking at your table as if you two are the retarted language terrorists that have invaded an otherwise enjoyable evening of fine dining...why? Because you just ordered a real multi-culteral dish...the Spanish-French-Polish plate of Pyrenees' Peyronie's Pierogi - looks like stuffed pasta, but no. Polish folded potatoes stuffed with a couple of bent shlongs (due to Peyronie's) from some local Pyrenees gents currently undergoing 'Gender Transition'...would you prefer any sauce? Tomato or White (Alfredo or Alfred).

ConfusedMaybe a better alternative might be to snap a picture, post it on ebay and let women bid for a chance for a newfangled ride on the ol'bone rollercoaster?
