Suppose I have a few 100 USD spare in my pocket, do I send it on computer hardware or lingerie for the wife? :shrug:
wife can sex you, computer cant... atleast as far as i know O_o
computer value depreciates with time, but not the wife.
anyhow, you don't have to purchase expensive lingerie.
worst come to worst, you can admit it's the thought that counts, not the quality ... besides, what do us men know about lingerie ... it's not like we use it ...
"anyhow, you don't have to purchase expensive lingerie" Serpentarius
Underwear = Cheap
Lingerie = Expensive
You get what you pay for, the more you pay for lingerie the less you get ;)
unless you're planning to purchase silks ... then yes, it is costly
just get those polyesters .... besides, you're in China rite? i'm sure u'll get a lot of different options.
skip those branded ones ... women buy exp underwear becoz they wore every single time unless sleeping. but they wear lingerie for (special) occasions only
but to be safe, get those babydolls ones ... women are particular about fitting ... a good present might become a major disaster if you brought the wrong size.
buy somthing on sale. spend rest on computer :)
"unless you're planning to purchase silks ...", Rule 1 for Buying Lingerie, States any Lingerie has to be Silk!
"just get those polyesters .... ", see rule one. (Simple cotton slips, string tops maybe, but never polyester!)
"besides, you're in China rite? i'm sure u'll get a lot of different options" :( In China its more limited, No Victoria Secrets Here in Shanghai or similar brands. Except in 'Boutiques' and I don't have enough money to shop in those!!! :rolleyes:
"but they wear lingerie for (special) occasions only", depends on your wife :D
Rule 3 thou does state that the wife has to be able to change at the Gym infront of her friends wearing the lingerie! :up: So that does limit what you can buy.
"but to be safe, get those babydolls ones", a good suggestion, one I have used many times with GF v1, GF v2, GF v1.2, GF v 5 and Wife v1 :yepp:
"a good present might become a major disaster if you brought the wrong size", you only make that mistake ONCE! :shocked:
silk lingerie on gym ... gluck finding it ...
you'll need another women to help u out of this .... why not lurk in the women's forum? well for a good cause.
Buy a 3 foot string and call it lingerie, and spend the rest on your PC. Problem solved. THAT is thinking like a man.
Well since I am the system manager here and setup the proxy server I can't check out Figleaf.com till I go home! :mad:
but this is what I am checking out at the moment for a bedroom build.

Lingerie for the PC! Why spend so much when i doubt they wear it that many times. Besides don't a bunch of skid marks end up all over that stuff :ROTF:

In the long run neither holds value very well, put the money in the bank :)
I say buy the wife a cork and two bandages and spend the rest on PC. :rofl:
PC is of no use for a dead man. :rofl:Quote:

Well I understand relationships are a partnership not a dictatorship, and there's compromise... but if its your money and you earned it, you have the right to spend it once in a while on something you want. You're not a child, and she's not your mommy.... well, unless you're into some really kinky @#$%.
The new hardware is going into the bedroom as a HTPC which the wife uses most to watch all her American Series on like Bones and CSI. The old P4 Prescot can no longer hack it showing HD and having 200 webpages open on children clothes.
The Fan on the CPU is so LOUD now when its working under 100% load I can't sleep will the wife surfs the web. Also the video card does not have HDMI so can't connect to the LCD without a DVI/HDMI adapter.
So better to spend double the $$$ for a MoBo/CPU/DDR3 then a new good Graphics Card.
But the wife does LOOK GOOD in Lingerie.....:D
The old P4 will soon be in school crunching for the XS team on WCG!!! :welcome:
Looks like the wife liked the new HTPC in the bedroom....:D
But I used a 150GB raptor for the OS and that has to go due to the NOISE, I never noticed when it was in my little office. So have to order a WD Black 1TB SATAIII.
Good job my son is nearly out of nappies and I dont have to hire a U-haul truck to deliver his Huggies!
Wife, Son, 3 cats, appartment and car, I had more pocket money to send on myself when I was 12 years old.
Its back as its the wife Birthday in October!
What to buy the wife this time?
Women cost enough money as it is - go with the hardware because remember, a PC can always be upgraded and parts traded you don't like. You can't do that with the wife. :D
:p:
Buy her a dildo, that way when maybe she gets pissed off and claims you spend more money on your computers than her.... she's got a fall back position and will leave you alone for a while.... :p: After all, you won't be getting any while she's pissed, and it'll calm her down :ROTF:
Jeff Dunham said something wise in his shows...Quote:

I vote get her a clitoral vibrator, which costs about $30
and spend the rest on small gifts that you will give her randomly throughout the month.
Which will provide her two benefits :
1) more fun in sex
2) more points for you
See women and men tend to award points differently
Men tend to allocate points based on the price/difficulty of the gift aka lots of points for big gifts and little points for small gifts
Women tend to allocate exactly one point per gift aka a big gift is equal to a single loving act.
Thus if you want the best results just do lots of little things instead of trying to do big gifts every once and a while.
[You'll be amazed by how far you can get by giving your woman a loving poem everyday]
small things given frequently are much more important than big things.
Every woman is unique and so is every relationship.Quote:

Well I made the mistake of asking the wife what she wanted as a present for her birthday.
So I now have to decide on Divorce or going into an Apple Store and buying something there.
Go with pc parts upgrade the pc will love you more !
women just spend all your money and moan all the time
Pc all the way ;) apple store good idea
I would mod her in lingerie and overclock the :banana::banana::banana::banana: out of her.
Buy her that 3 foot long sting I mentioned earlier... but I guess that would be more of a gift for you than her. :D
Not really no... The female body peaks at age 21, the male at age 24 (statisticly) from that point on, it is down hill....Quote:

And after all, women is more than a piece of meat, the actual person does not peak at same age as the body, everything is a matter of balance.
Well at least I have 5 weeks to pluck up the currage to go into an Apple store and buy an ???????
Buy hardware.
The main difference is:
* after using your computer, you will feel the experience is better.
* if you buy lingerie, after having sex you won't feel like the experience was any different :D
True... true, unless she wore it around the house all the time. :D I think it would be worth it then.
Buy the Hardware & get a cheap lingerie, you'll just rip it out in the heat of the moment :D
Go to the Apple store and buy headphones.
Apple.... check
Cheap..... (relatively).... check
No such thing as CHEAP Lingerie or computer hardware, they both look like trash and last as long as a snow flake in hell.Quote:

if you really want to make your wife happy take her to a nice restaurant
i know for a fact there are some incredible restaurants in shanghai
after that she will use the energy of the food to please you:D
lol think more like a woman, and don't ever rush with stuff like this.
...first you make sure her computer gets slow. Fill it with vira and stuff but don't tell her ...let her know that her computer is slow and out of date, then get her Sims3 (most women get addicted to that game) and let her try that on her computer. Make sure the game runs slow and awfull, and then ask her if you're allowed to spend money on a new computer for yourself if she gets your old one, so she can play Sims3 without any trouble... lol
Don't ever buy a woman lingerie, we have a hard time getting lingerie we can afford, like and fit for ourselves.. it's ok if your wife finds some lingerie that she wants and you pay for it, but don't go and buy that sort of stuff without her.
She will notice that.Quote:

The 3 foot string, duck tape, tooth paste, talcum powder and an Apple power cord wouldn't be a bad idea either! It kinda gets kinkier the more you think about it ...or is it just me?
I think is just you!Quote:

I'm confused.... what are you talking about? Why is that kinky? I admit I could find a use for that cord.... if I had an iron bed, but what on earth is the other stuff for?
Its u :p: kinky is handcuffs and whips :DQuote:

Divorce might be cheaper!:rofl:Quote:

Talcum powder gives a very smooth friction, if you don't sweat too much then you can use that for "massage" (I don't recomend that to women though, men only!).Quote:

The Apple Store is very much like a :banana::banana::banana::banana: Shop. Everything is covered in plastic, sold in a big box no matter how small the item, very expensive and only gives you 30 seconds of excitement.Quote:

^^ lol :d
Well I have gone for the iPad USB adapter that allows you to conect a USB stick to the iPad. Its so the wife can look at the 25,000 photographs she has of our son!!!
Still leaves me $60 left over to buy the lingerie! Best of both worlds
I cant stop thinking..
..are you real? :D
Well want did you guys buy your wife or girlfriend for Christmas?
I didnt give her any. Which is what women want. hehe
Well my family in their "great wisdom" got my wife a brand new shiny handgun which was immediatedly placed against my head with the statement "more bacon!"Quote:

You dont point a gun at someone unless your are willing pull the trigger. Maybe in your case she was. :)

I know the feeling, my wife is taking driving lesson! I should have never bought the 135mph, 0-60mph in 8.5sec VW. Anybody know where I can get one of those really big dumptruck tires cheap, so a can put my car on the inside to protect it from impacts!Quote:

I accidently pressed the "report" button on one of your posts, and I don't remember which one. I pressed the "reset fields" button right after, but I don't know if the report has been sent or not. Should I contact an admin or moderator, or will they contact me if the report has been sent ..or? :S
..and all I wanted was to thank you nn_step for the inspirational post, about the gift that your family bought your wife >_<
Not to worry, we know all about nn_step and for years!:rofl:Quote:

That's not a dilemma, just put the 15" monotor back in place and keep the other for yourself..:)Quote:

I wouldn't be so sure about that, I've had cases where I just angrily said something like "that's it you're getting replaced" and then promptly get a blue screen and no boot for a day or 2 until the computer cools off and gets over it's feelings being hurt.Quote:

get her a dishwasher brush, frying pan, clothes iron, vaseline and loooong plastic gloves O.o if you want to know why then it is probably best that you never ever knew O.o

Where do all the lost pens go to, is there a second hand pen shop anywhere.... :yepp:
Its wedding anniversary time again, the sixth so its a gift of iron!
So what to buy for the wife?
I still say string, and call it lingerie. Even better, an eye patch and four band aids. :D
But no seriously, think outside the box. Find something she'll use all the time, or do something special with jewelry, like have something thoughtful that means something to your relationship on it, like something you said to her when you first dated. Doesn't have to be expensive, its the thought that counts and that goes a lot farther and can mean a lot more than how much you spend.
And if you can't think of anything, women always love those baskets of cremes, bath salts, and lotions. Victoria's Secret has those.
Just make sure they aren't the face-eating zombie kind :eek:Quote:

Well we are booked into Hong Kong for a 5 days and 4 nights :yepp:
Just don't let me see the wifes credit card bill :shakes:
Last time we where there she managed 8 pairs of new shoes for herself and 4 for our son :eek:
I wonder if there's a way you can make it harder for her to buy more shoes. How did she find the stores last time? GPS? Phone Book? Desk Clerk?
Well to find a shop in Hong Kong just walk out the hotel! Its one big shopping mall, but at least I can buy a pair of Dr Martins in size 7 1/2 and not euro39.Quote:

Reminds me of when I was first married back in the mid 70's and for Christmas I bought my wife this VERY high end blender..App $200.00 and thats when I was grossing maybe $270.00/wk
Can I tell you that when she saw what it was she never even opened the box and it sat in that one place for years..
Hey, I was a young guy of maybe 23 and thought I did good...LOLOLOL
Next Christmas I bought her ruby earrings and those she loved..Real rubies, cost me 2 arms,2 legs and a ..well, another appendage! :D
I mean real Burmese rubies guys..:rolleyes:
Ok I need another Christmas Present, got to keep this thread going after 10,000views!
So the wife's in Germany for a week selling cheap Chinese crap to the finest engineers in the world! So while she is away do I upgrade a few PCs with 512GB SSDs! :yepp:
Handbag-Kate Spade, Coach, something along those lines
Nice laptop or briefcase bag
Shoes/boots-Cole Haan, etc etc
Spa day
Jewelry
Gym membership
Hypnotic weight loss course
You wont have to worry about anniversary/xmas/b-day pressies again ;)
Well Santa is bringing the wife an Apple TV Box so she can stream all her internet TV to her iPad mini and leave me the 47inch LED to watch the English Football on!
