I find it funny how guys love to joke about women that spend money on makeup/jewelry/clothes etc. etc. yet they will happily spend $4-500 bucks on the newest videogame system or $60 for the latest game (which, as myself am a gamer I do as well) or spend THOUSANDS supping up their car or what have you. Truth is, on average both men and women spend about the same, true men may not necessarily go out "shopping" as much as women but when you take into account how much they spend on big ticket items and online I am sure it's just as much, if not more than women.

I buy neat stuff like tools and circuit boards.

GIRLIES buy junky stuff like junk-shoes, overpriced clothes, scented candles, jewelry.....etc, etc.

The $3k stainless steel refrigerators that everybody NEEDS, 99% of the time it is the Girly making the decision to buy that overpriced junk.

A man's biggest asset is a woman who is a good steward of his earnings...and vice versa.

Not to mention......football tickets, football games on tv, motorcycles, boats, beer & women.....to name a few


It would have been more appropriate for the OP to add "some" women. It's when the price tags never come off, is when one has to be concerned their partner spends too much.

Mais, non! If you don't take the price tags off, you can bring it back.
