Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?


I would be very interested in finding out how one manages to justify (or sneak in the home) expensive audio equipment without having to sell your soul to the Devil? It's quite a challenge for many of us I think. I heard of someone buying a Bel Canto DAC and telling his girlfriend that " Oh it's just a $ 100.00 power conditionner", or whatever. Seem like we need to get creative here if we can pursue this crazy hobby much longer! Regards All...

Why won't this thread go away? What about all the women and gay audiophiles, what about their spouses, boyfriends,etc...
The hobby needs to get out of this boys club mentality.
Loss of interest, energy...save it. Read "The Manipulated Man" by Esther Vilar printed by Pinter and Martin for a real education. Flunky woman libers and other "entitlement type" women hate the book so "deeply", you know it's great. It's extremely candid by a very, very candid woman. Otherwise, the absolute safety of a vasectomy and the decision to be married tends to rule the game.

Unless I have kids to raise and I'm providing the ideal nuclear home environment, typically, I'm way, way happiest as a bachelor. Girlfriends? Always be doing something special together. Bust your nuts along with her bra straps laughing out loud together anytime you get the chance. Share many unique, special moments together - mostly funny.
