I love a spoiled man!! It's hard to explain, their just different.
They have big toys, big egos, alot of pride. There's nothing better then
watching a big ole guy climbing out of his shinny, new, big ole truck..
just watch him, he'll look back at it, (they always do), and you just know
he's thinking ...Man, thats mine!! You never see that proud
look with a man climbing out of his little ole Honda Accord...
Same when he plops himself down in front of his big screen tv with mega remote
to watch one of the many legal blood sports. I get so tired of hearing women
blaming a hard-working, middle-aged man's purchase of bigger and better
toys on his "mid-life-crisis" Why does there even need to be a "blame" for this, to
justify one's actions...when the truth of the matter is... good toys are expensive..
and it's not a symptom of middle-age that men suddenely feel the need for
them, it's more that middle-age is how long it took them to finally build up
enough credit to buy them. Women, that goes for us too...Remember when
you were younger and having to purchase your jewelry at Wal-mart...
cause that's all you could afford...and now you are sporting around town
in some of "Zales" finest. Are we going through a mid-life crisis because we want bigger and better jewelry now? Women's purchases and men's toys grow larger
as our credit lines increase. The car gets more power, the television gets
more inches, (I said the TELEVISION gets more inches...good grief, get your mind out of the gutter people) the remote control gets more buttons,
the jewelry gets more diamonds. The kids, however, still only need a
VCR that will play Barney Gets A Goiter 8,000 times a day
without breaking...*rolling eyes*.. But our middle-aged men need the four-head, digital tracking, hi-fi, stereo VCR that can be hooked up to the digital comb filter, super-flat big screen and the 280 watt surround-sound system with the sub-woofer that makes the windows rattle. And if they're really good, they can get the
one with the jog shuttle control on the remote so he can play that scene
in Scanners (the one where the guy's head explodes) over and over, at all
different speeds, without ever having to get up.
Now tell me....Is there any guy in his teens or twenties who's reading this who
doesn't want that system? No! Can any of them afford it? Un-likely!!
But you can bet they'd have it if they could. You need to let your man spoil
himself as he gets older if it makes him happy....
it isn't "mid-life crisis"...it's "mid-life Christmas"
so let your Santa turbocharge his sleigh.
until next time
