Need help!Want my next pin but having trouble convincing the wife.
« on: September 18, 2011, 07:48:44 PM »
Hi Guys
Desperate for a new machine but the wife isnt buying my arguments.

Have tried all the old lines such as.."it's an investment and only increases in value"..."it keeps me home and out of trouble" and even some counter shots such as "you brought a new smoke detector and we havent had a single fire" but none seem to be working.

Would love to hear and maybee even borrow some of the lines others have used to convince there partners when buying a new machine.
With my last purchase I tried a new tact and didn't tell her. Thought I could just make 5 withdrawls from the ATM of $500 each over a 2 week period but she was onto me after the second withdrawl @.@.

Also it doesnt help my cause that I wouldn't let her by a duty free watch for $1200 last year when we were away on holidays, women never seem to forget.

Take her to the jewellery store for a nice piece of gold and then you can just get a pinball - my wife and I have a similar agreement $800-$900 jewellery for a $2.5k pinball.

BUY her the CHINEESE COPY of the $1200 watch.  && && &&  You have to put some more thought into these problems.  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^ Save more $$ for a pinny.  *)* *)*

OR

Tell her you are going around the corner a "few nights a week" to a nice young lady's house who has a decent pinball collection.Then mention that if you had a bigger collection, you might not have to go around to the nice lady's house.  *)*
NOW, at this stage, she will either kick u in the balls really hard, or she might get out the magnifying glass and look closely at that $20 Chineese copy of the $1200 Rolex.

With most people u get what u negotiate, not what u demand. BUT when it comes to the wife, sometimes u get only what u demand, then do a deal and give her something she wants.
Example - My wife wanted a Second 55 inch LG 3D TV today for the bedroom cause I bought another pinball last week which will come next week. Its a WIN WIN here cause we both get to use the new TV in the bedroom and I get the new Pinball. Sometimes u have to let them think they are going to win.  @.@
