GreenSnapper Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 It is genetic, nothing you can do about. Same as with shoes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorothy1985 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 It is all about attracting the attention of the opposite sex, sometimes the same sex, at the optimum moment. Ever ready as they say. Take a look at the birds of paradise and their dramatic plumage, some even have feathers that hang down, hang here, hang there not unlike accessories. All to attract. And then we need to keep all the essentials somewhere. Most dresses if you have not noticed darling do not have pockets and they would look awfully lumpy if they did and were full of bottles of nail polish and eye liner. Then there is the smooth curves of the posterior. Would you guys prefer to see the flowing lines that curve around to join in the middle and form a disappearing act, or would you like lumpy bits in the pockets? I prefer my bags to have a lead weight inserted in the base of the bag so I can use it as a weapon also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I feel your pain, I have exactly the same with mine, cant walk passed a store without the "look honey" and wants another bag or shoes, unbelievable. Now she wonders why I speed up and grab her hand as we approach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post eek Posted September 27, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2012 Why does a man need 50 spanners? (because one size doesnt fit all or suit every circumstance.. i know, because i my own set). But, wouldnt matter if you were buying 100, as long as i wasnt the one paying for it. So, isnt it more about you buying them for her then? So, a possible solution to the problem would be her earning and spending her own money on them? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a large enough one for donking your wifey over the head if she tries to buy more than one handbag! Mau, i have a theory about women and handbags i thought of some years back...and i think i cracked phenomenon of their appeal. No matter how our weight, or mood about ourselves may fluctuate, handbags and shoes ALWAYS fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songhua Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The top shelf of our bedroom closet is absolutely cram packed with handbags and shoes which, I fear, will never see the light of day again. 'Why don't you give them to the Salvo's?' I once asked. 'Might still need them', I was told. Still never seen her reach for one of them and still waiting for them to be 'needed'.

mjj Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I can confirm its a genetic thing. Last weekend we had some family over to visit. They have an 18 month daughter and she wore everyone's shoes within 2 hours - maybe 8-10 pairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i first moved to Thailand, i brought very little with me, but had a pretty nice cash flow at the time. I bought countless pairs of shoes, and bags and also clothes. I got less gung-ho when common sense hit me, but was left with copious amounts of things i hardly wear. So..i did one of the car boot type sales and sold my stuff off. I got a fraction of what i paid, but better than sitting in my wardrobe (or in bags under the bed!) gathering dust. Maybe if your wife figures she can make some money out of it, she will part with them. Then she can spend the money on....some other bags and shoes.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickmanchester2 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 What gets me is that whenever I bring a girl back to my place, the handbag always gets a better seat than me on the couch/sofa - I am always having to move them onto the table - they care a lot for these bags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife keeps hers in another fabric bag , so that they keep clean and she even has a small torch that she puts in the larger bags , i just cant understand why she has to carry so much stuff around in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I am upset, very upset!!!!! You all say it is genetic and on that basis I conclude I married a bloke by mistake.

richard_smith237 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I won't complain about my Wife's collection of handbags (about 20 or so).. I support it in fact - If handbags make her happy then thats good, I have something to get her for her Birthday. My Wife doesn't complain about my watches which amounts to a significantly greater sum than her 'plethora' of handbags (I can't think of a better collective noun other than 'herd' (as in leather - cow tenuous link)). And lets not talk about tastes in Whisky or the latest automative purchase - No, I have no right to complain. We both have plenty of shoes which we leave to fight their own battle for territorial supremacy. But the fact is my Wife only chooses what she really likes - Lately she has seen a Prada bag she likes, but she won't let me get it her as she's not 100% sure she likes it - I'm now stuck for her Birthday present. Is it a female thing? of course it is, but its useful - Guess where my phone and wallet go when were out together, straight into her handbag, extremely convenient !... Now, another female thing... Why is it the back of a ladies car is like a shoe shop ?... I'm talking at least 6 or 7 pairs of shoes in the back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The curse of the handbags, yes, she's got the gene. I've learned to cope by speeding ahead when she gets stuck at a window, if I'm fast enough I'll be sitting with a cold beer in my paw before she manages to detach from the lure.
