Is your Wife, hot or not when it comes to

[Caveoftreasures]

Is your Wife, hot or not when it comes to you buying a pinball machine >?

It would be good to see what sort of percentages of wives do actually support the hobby, but also, are as keen to look at wats coming out next with Stern, or if she looks at the for sale sections etc.

Any stories to tell ?

My recent x-wife only was positive when I bought scary themed titles like  >

Frankenstein, Tales from the Crypt, A Nightmare on Elm Street,etc

Who''s wife is IN the hobby and very supportful to the point she wants to collect as well ?
Any stories would be interesting ......

My girlfriend loves them as much as I do. Wants to have her own collection and even compiled her own list in order of title importance. Supports the progression of the collection and the infrastructure needed to accommodate them. Cleans plastics and does art on my restores/ gives advice. Happy to watch and listen to all the pinball related crap I involve her in.

That's excellent. do u like the titles she likes, and so forth, or does she have a different set of machines in mind.
Would love to hear more. Thankyou for posting so quick.

**I am looking forward to some of the "its not mine, I am just storing for a friend,lol, he said I could play it, really he did".
or the sneak one more machine into the line up, say nothing at all, then wait to see how long the wife took to say ""wait on, theres one to many".

I only started in the hobby as my wife two birthdays back asked for one for her present.. Well she unleashed a monster as had seven machines 18 months later but she didn't complain...

My wife seems to like the stern titles more than me, I am not that interested preferring 90s williams/bally titles, which she mostly likes too, though she doesn't like horror themes like BSD..

Only problem is although I am grand champion on BSD and JD she holds that title on Tron and Shadow..   

She obviously has no issue with me buying more machines as she gets to play them. She doesn't help much with restores, not in the slightest interest unless I ask her to help me with something (like applying decals which I find easier with two people).

u have a great wife. its this sort of feedback that Stern and the other makers would love to hear more about, more ladies in pinball.

I wonder if ever Stern would do a title aimed at the female market, but still catch the eye of the male market, anyone got any ideas on that one ?>

Carolyn  loves them and has been encouraging me since I started. We attended both Pinfests and are daily players when we get the chance.
The only restraint on me is no more machines till the games room gets sorted.

Well sorry to say, so far im the odd one out. my wife hates them with a vengence.

I pretty much love any pinball - as does she but really favours anything with a gloomy/scary/dark theme to it. So from memory, BK2000, Seawitch, Genesis, Dracula etc etc all feature on that list of hers. Only ones she's not a fan of is the new Sterns. Of the opinion that they are cheaply made and photoshopped art. Metallica was noted as being better in the art than others.
