Thors1982 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 With all of this talk about the wife finally appreciates or, the wife finally let me buy.... Makes me wonder already spending 7 grand on a home theater......if I will ever be able to get a wife, or even a girlfriend :-p hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Sure ya will... Women love home theater geeks. Makes-m feel good all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripod Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Gotta disagree with moon. Try to hide the geekiness until after she's hooked. Play up the cool factor of a nice system, but don't show how geekily excited we all become about our equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicholtl Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Yeah, every girl I know thinks it's extra "manly" to be into electronics, along with cars, ambition, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurs Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Oddly, my wife has gotten involved in my room and jujst ordered acoustic paneling for some first reflection spots. researched it herself, the whole nine yards, and was spot on with her ideas. I guess she has to stay now....if she turns up talking about component changes I'll have to find out who this is I'm living with.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HornEd Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Georgie... how right you are! After decades of looking (and sampling) the joys of extended togetherness (sometimes with license)... I had given up hope... and started building over-the-top Klipsch experiments. Suddenly, a sprightly redhead who had been guests (along with about 40 others including her boyfriend!) to a screening of a new DVD... She made it a point to introduce herself and express her thoughts on the theater. Over the next six months, she magically appeared one place or another... often just about meal time in the restaurant of my mountain retreat. Then, one evening she called her boyfriend to say that she would be staying with me. We are to be wed on May 2, 2004. I am in the process of building another over-the-top Klipsch experiment... Kassandra (my fiancé) went with me to pick up another pair of Klipsch Belles... it was her first time to hear a Heritage. The next week, Kassandra went with me to see about buying another pair of Khorns and a Belle for $2k. After an audition, I pronounced them adequate... and she whipped out her check book and bought them for us. What else could possibly be a finer verification of the right person for the likes of old HornEd? =HornEd How sweet it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgie Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Sorry fellas...I'm already hitched. BTW we're not all extra "manly". I'm quite girly. HornEd Congratulations man!!! Many years of happy listening to you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Although my wife does not like the fact that I'm an audio geek, I think she puts up with it because 1)she loves me and 2)she's afraid if I had to choose....... Actually she's been pretty great about it all. She married the cornwalls when she married me. She no longer asks questions when new equipment arrives or old equipment leaves. She was having fun following my Marantz auction on ebay last week. She's already spent my (our) profits although I haven't discussed how much I'm spending to replace it. Before you commit to a relationship, let her know that all audio decisions are yours but you'll welcome her input. Be honest. If you get married (can you say pre-nup?) then suddenly none of your speakers match the decor, an annulment may be in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgie Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Ooops. Can't read today. You're right, "manly" girls are scary. It's difficult to be female and like audio stuff. People think there's something wrong with your, or that you're "manly" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthurs Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 When did being into audio migrate from geeky to manly? .....I don't get "gee you're manly" comments or vibe from family or friends who have fully realized my obsession/compulsion with my system, it's still more along the lines of "what a nerd" or "what an idiot" LOL, I'm confused by this thread... now being confused, that's man-like, if not manly!

HornEd Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Oh, the Mug (m00n) Shot of course! Maybe a little programmer chic with a shot of the earth in space and m00n's head shining down in reflected glory. Or even m00n as a direct radiator... a head shot with a burning candle affixed atop to show the m00n as a unique source of illumination. With your skills, m00n, not even the sky is the limit!
