Wife Acceptance Factor


I hear alot about Wife Acceptance Factor when it comes to equipment. I'm getting married in 6 months. Fortunately, my fiance is pretty accepting of the hobby. Just curious about all those guys out there who have a family and are still allowed to invest their spending money almost entirely on audio equipment. After you get married, do most women step in and try to squash spending on this hobby? Opinions welcome!!!

Being one of the single straight guys here, I would guess that very few of these 'straight' men "dislike" women. I would also bet that if they're not happily married that audio equipment is not the root cause of that. I think a lot of this post is 'tongue in cheek'.. yet for whatever reason, 'guys' are into audio. I admit I'm obsessed with music and have wondered forever why that is a "guy thing". The 'WAF' is very real. To me that doesn't mean one is sexist or dislikes women. Most women I've known are far more intelligent than I am... It would just be an added blessing to share your life with someone who shares your love of music. :)
Luckily, I found a fantastic set of speakers on deep discount that also double as art (in my and my wife's opinions - EgglestonWorks Fontaines). So I deftly side-stepped the whole, "you're not putting that big ugly wrong-colored box in our living room". Although I am restricted as to how far from the wall they are allowed to sit. There are lots of beauties out there from which to choose thess days ... speakers as well as women. Choose wisely.
John thank you for the laugh, I think this is one of
the best thread I have read in this forum,Its so
funny and true.By the way, I am so lucky to have a
partner who just let me do things I want,Unfortunately
my wife passed away last July,I really really miss her.
I never experience fighting for the position of my
speakers.She is just very very understanding,After
reading this thread, Ive learn a lot, How women think.
I dont want a woman change me for who Iam.I will be
very unhappy if a woman tells me to stop buying music.
For all who posted above, thanks a lot I did enjoy
all your comedy,and creative thinking.Thanks Bon
Dan,thank you.The only difficult part of this is, if
I dediced to get married again,like cables you need
burn in, and components you need to break them in,
For sure I be looking for a good synergy,No test drive
here,since I am a Christian, only audition,This thread
taught me a lot of good tips.It made me feel,I am so
extremely bless.Amen.
