Question about Men unable to buy things without asking wife.
Posted: August 18th, 2010, 5:17 pm
I work in a High-End Audio/Video Retail Store in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It has been my only job for 18 years running now!
Needless to say I have talked to a lot of people over that time and sold a lot of equipment. I was interested to know if any one else had input on if the subject of men unable to buy things without talking to their wives or girlfriends first. It is an absolute epidemic here! I think the whole issue relates back to Western Women controlling men. I can't tell you how many men say they can't buy things without talking to "The Boss" or "The Wife" as they call her. It is absolutely pathetic, they can't do anything without asking first. Even though chances are they make the money, they can't spend it without asking. Even worse, they ask their wives for advice on stuff they know nothing about! I think that most men have an interest in Electronics, and are always looking to upgrade their Equipment. Just like most women have an interest in makeup and shoes and clothes. The difference is that Western Men have to ask their wives about which Blu-ray player they can buy, or which size TV they can buy, or what size and color speakers they can buy, even though the Women know nothing about the equipment, and didn't make any of the money used to buy it. On the other hand the Women will go out and buy whatever shoes, perfume, clothes and makeup they want without ever asking the men, and will spend money the Man made working hard! Is this only a Western culture problem? What is it like elsewhere? Here it is completely ridiculous, Western Men are whipped p**sies, they can't even spend their own money on things they want and know more about, without talking to the so-called "Boss". Even calling their wives the Boss shows what wimps they are.
A lot of men will come back to the store after I spoke to them. They will bring in "the Boss" and all the products they looked at alone will be vetoed because the color is wrong, the design is bad, the price is too high etc... In the end they will end up buying what their wife likes, but knows nothing about, or buying nothing, because their wife likes nothing!
I would love to hear other peoples opinions on the subject, it really fascinates me.
