Here goes....

There are many people that do not see any need to spend money on stuff *THEY* don't need or want, and with regard to technology, those people are often women. Yeah, I know some men too, who think the same, with regards to handbags, shoes, and clothing and such that their wives want to buy.
Not to be hateful here... but when I hear one of my colleagues saying: "I'll have to ask my accountant if I can get that <insert some $100 stuff>", my hair stands on end. Dude. You're a guy bringing in like 70% or more of all money into the household, and you have to ask or even BEG your wife to get something like an e-reader? Come on. It's an e-reader. Not a fracking Mercedes.
Some time ago when I was (even) younger, I actually had colleagues working full-time who talked like that while they didn't even have a wife. They had girlfriends, 8-10 years younger than they were. In college.
Those are going to be some happy relationships... NOT.
I wonder when women realise that men just like gadgets and stuff, and men finally understand that women like shoes and clothing and handbags and whatnot. OK, there are exceptions, of course. As long as one can afford it, and the money needed doesn't break the bank, what the frack does it matter?

You probably won't believe me when I tell you that this is one of the foremost reasons, maybe even the most important, that I'm still single, and I will *STAY* single. I won't beg for anything, with anyone if it's about trivial things like these.
I'm sure there are women like me, in the same situation with their men, besides Chi Cygni. Maybe they should all marry me. Uh... No. Wait. DON'T! BAD IDEA!
And now I'll have some tea. Earl Grey. Hot. Maybe I'll even read some Shakespeare.
