Ok, a forumer suggested I start this thread. And am unsure how it'll pan out over the long run.
Being a guy (I suppose most forumers here are) who has fascination for technology, watches, automobiles, sports, etc., how does one get away, or convince, your other halves (wife, mistress, girlfriend, concubine, what-have-you) to support or "share this joy" of the few (but normally expensive) worldly possession a man has?
What I mean is, you're bound to get questioned or investigated on your splurges. Men's hobbies generally are small in quantity but big in price. A man buys 1 nice expensive shoe, and women buy 10 affordable shoes. So we strive on quality stuff. Women strive on how many color variations of the same looking dress she can fit into her closet.
This topic isn't meant to hurt anyone's feelings, but more to share what guides our "story" to justify buying what we love to buy.
p/s: I got asked by my wife other day, "So you buy so many watch, I also want a few". Kantoi....
