What is it with our wives?

[Colapop]

I used to get 'the look' - it has never worked. If she's upset then she should tell me what the problem is - I can't read her mind and I tell her exactly that.

[fireliv]

...."sigh"

What do you mean by this Phoenix!!!! (As I stand there with my hands on my hips giving him the look)

[Skunk]

My wife (Skunk Control) looked at the missile launcher and said "hmmm, yeah". When I mentioned the airship the response was "Cool!"

I love my wife.

[slowpoke]

The day you stop playing is the day you start dieing....I say buy the fucker and stick the first shot straight past her nose.......





















.....then run like you've never run before!

[kro]

Haha, I just convinced my wife we needed a computer upgrade, which will cost about 700, always start higher than you want, and settle for your actual traget item. So in your case, say you really wanted a new graphics card worth $800.00 , then leave the brochure for the mini launcher lying around in plain sight. I would nearly guarantee she say "what about I get you this instead, and we'd save $700.00 as well".

Tell her that she is quite correct - it was a foolish idea - dunno what I was thinking and that you both should spend some 'quality time' together and that money would be better spent on that.... Rather than being selfish, and buying something like that, why not spend the money on something for US darling.... Like a bottle of champers, a couple of spiffy rubber crutchless panties, a tub of margarine, some shaving cream, razor and some gerbils....

You will have your rockets withing the week...

Or else you'll have a rather pained and startled look upon your face and some difficulty sitting down for the rest of the week as you discover a side to your wife that you'd never known before . . .

Ummmm.... I don't know how to answer that Paul. Old doesn't mean incapable of having fun. However, the most likely scenario is that it will simply attract THE LOOK again

Lifes a process of discovery - some of it painful but really - you should try anything - erm - probably.....

I'm beginning to think you kinda like 'the look'.... I suspect its a bit like the 'yes dear' I get....

my 60th birthday which is coming up in 3 months.

60th... Shouldnt you be trading in the old missus for an 18 year old anyway ?

[TRAINING WHEELS]

Women are not the only ones to give THE LOOK. My partner gives me the look when i want to buy new toys (bikes, cars, clothes etc) Hes not too bad with the bike thing as he is a kb member too but he still tries to get me one that is cheeper (different bike alltogether) with the exsuse that if i drop it, it wont matter but isnt that what insurance is for?
His previous bike was a GSX1100 not to bad ...he walked into a bike shop and fell in love with the buss looked at me and said "shake my hand if i can have it" i dint look at price or any thing but shock his hand...I knew he wanted it so he should have it.

If its something i want i will get it i dont shop around for the cheepst nor for a different brand but if its what i want then its mine...
I dont understand women who give the look but change the rules for men. Its one ruel for all in my world. If women want the right to give "the look" then men should be alowed to give it back dont you think...

Yea thats a really good idea . Then you REALLY will have no money to spend on your own toys - she will be spending it all on herself, her mates and their boyfriends and "the look" will be given behind your back instead of to your face
