I know what women want... ( the wife that is )

Speak for yourself, not others.

 

Agreed.

 

Patpong,

Sounds like you need to get around some other women. Not all of them are materialistic little morons. Not everybody is driven by what they "want". Your post is insulting to the vast majority of women. And men, too, come to think of it.

Maybe you ought to go have a chat with your local Buddhist monks there in Thailand. I'm sure they'll be happpy to share a different, and healthier, perspective with you. You're living inside the priison of your desires, and perceiving everybody else through the same lens. There's a whole big world out there above and beyond living for, and through, possessions.

 

I think Patpong is just trying to share his opinions with everyone. If you don't agree, that's fine. But don't make it personal. If you want, be objective and share your views. Bear in mind that he may not be totally wrong because he lives on the other side of the planet with a totally different culture.

 

Well said. Obviously, there must be some significant cultural differences. Virtually all the American women I've known, and the European women also, don't seem to have any trouble telling you exactly what they want. Men may not want to listen, but women here put it right up front. And if you're not meeting their needs, they let you know about it. Different cutures, different ways of dealing with things.

 

Patpong,
You do make one point I agree with, and that is to share the Ferrari with our partner. Maybe I have been selffish, I think in a year, my wife has only been in the 355 three or four times. It would be great if the wife would get the F-car fever and get turned on as much as we do. For the lucky ones who already have a partner with the F-car fever, congrats! I think I will work harder at getting my wife sick

 

The fellow I bought my 328 from was an artist by trade, and he told me that there were three overriding passions in this life: His wife, his art, and Ferraris. But, he added, his wife always came first!

 

I misinterpreted the intent of your first posting. Forgive my rudeness.

 

I know what women want. The same thing that men want.

I think talking is over rated. I'll stick with the diamonds!

well said!

 

Green?

 

I agree, both me and my mrs. are Asians and maybe because of our educational background and the time spent 'overseas' we tend to be more liberal/ westernised in our thinking. That and the fact that she has always had a thing for Ferraris does not mean she forgets her monthly dose of shopping sprees for god-knows-why-so-expensive-Italian-French designer items....

 

Enough to be able to speak for myself!

 

I think it's YOUR justification for buying YOUR Ferrari. Not everyone has that same approach in mind.... I don't think it's a cultural thing, there are materialistic people in all cultures and all nations. Not that there is anything wrong with that.... again it's your personal perspective but it just happens to not be mine.

 

Coming from a "wife" and other culture - the perfume, designer labels, Gucci, Louis Vitton, diamonds is of little significance to me and obviously less significant in regards to the fact that we own a Ferrari. For us there's no "bartering" involved with this vehicle or any other we own as what seems to be found in posts on a similar thread. We enjoy our cars, we have fun with them, don't need to impress anyone with anything. Life IMO is about the inner person, not what they wear or how they look ("Trophies").

Patpong, this is not a fight nor is it meant to attack you personally. You are entitled to your opinion just like others that post here and no... my wife does not own any of those name brands. I guess I'm in that 5% minority.... lucky me! LOL!
