The wife acceptance factor
This was a fun article from the Globe a couple of days ago, talking about the Wife Acceptance Factor, and how it determines what men can actually buy for themselves.
Men like toys, electronics, sports cars, golf memberships. Then they get married, and wives have a say, even veto power. Torn between their own desires and preserving their marriages, the men of the new millennium are learning about WAF.
I’m just getting used to this concept. “But honey, remember how we discussed how much better our lives would be if only we had a 30″ cinema display?”

I’d rather get the plasma TV.

This sounds very familiar. I managed to gain much needed acceptance to finish the basement when I offered to install a hottub and a home theatre projection system all wrapped in a tiki theme… Try it… It works everytime…

Fine woman, that A. Good head on her shoulders. Hopefully her friends will look to her counsel.
