Wives/Girlfriends. . .

[Tank863]

I actually bought my non-geek wife an iphone and she didn't want it.
SO I sold it on ebay.

She has no problems with the iphone... yet

Well, my wife thinks I'm obsessed with my sidekick3 and rolls her eyes everytime I whip it out...hehe....wait till I get the iphone!

She's a hardcore reader, sometimes a book a day, so whenever she says something about my hobby (yes I call it a hobby now) I just tell her "you read books non-stop, I surf the web, deal with it."

Btw. I live in Homewood. My wife and I sometimes come and play at Greenbriar golf up there in Morris, so good to meet ya!

Wow....are you a carpenter? You hit that nail squarely on the head!! At first my wife thought I was spending a little too much time with my phone. Once she saw the pictures of our newly born baby on the phone, she liked that, and kind of cooled off with the phone. She even changed her mind about her pink razr phone and now wants an iphone *gulp* Even though she has toned down on the phone, she still gives me a look when I'm on this forum or checking out iPhone stuff!!!

Iphone or girlfriend/wife: one of thems got to go! HELLLLP!!!

Oh if they only understood . . .

When I use my ipod I make sure there's always music on there that she would also like as well as my son. You know, to play in the car on trips and stuff.

With the iphone I will do similar things. Music, pictures of our child to show off, etc... you have to get them somewhat interested, then its somewhat more accepting.

You guys are all hopeless, except for an occasional one (like my iPhone-toting boyfriend). You despise/make fun of those low tech women who behave like stereotypes, but it's what you go out with/marry anyway. What does it say about you?
I know, you're afraid of the ones who have a brain. You like to think you're the dominating half of the couple. Nothing much has changed since the cave ages. It must be in the genes, and the real reason why humanity is on a self destruct path (as usual, but now we have the power to "do" it. Nuke them all by the remote touch of an iPhone?).
Grow up. Evolve while we still have time.

Okay, first off, I love my girlfriend of two years very much BUT......

Shes says things like, "Why can't you pay my cab fare home from work on Friday nights? You have a $600 "phone"! (she's an evening radio DJ on Friday nights)

I just bought a $2300+ MacBook Pro about three months ago, but this crap never came up before I bought my iPhone. Hmm.

I bought my iPhone on iDay and she's really never touched it until today when we were having lunch at a cafe, I pointed out that they had free wifi, and she wanted to check her email.

Even that turned into a chore because she has long fingernails.

Women are NEVER satisified. If she's happy with her old T-Mobile RAZR, that's fine with me. Heck, wait until we're lost, there's no gas station, and Google maps saves our ass....oh, she'll see

My wife is the one who stood in line to get me the phone. She is just happy that I am happy, and that I owe her BIG time for her efforts!

I hope you're joking.

And if you're not.

First off, My wife doesn't give a damn about tech and gadgets, I do.

I don't make fun of her.

And am I afraid of one with a brain? Yea, that's why I married a 10+ year CPA accountant with a masters.

She works just as hard if not harder than I and I definately do not portray or act like this "dominating, woman fix my dinner, get me a beer, I'm going to play golf with the fellas while you watch the kids" attitude you seem to think every man is preprogrammed with.

I've been married to my wife for 8+ years and have loved every day spent with her so far and plan on being with her for the rest of my life, unless she "understands" my obsession with gadgets, then I drop her like a sack of taters, yea right.

So don't act like you know me and you're gonna use my post as some sexist/guys are all pigs flame.

My wife has accused me of being like a little kid with all my little toys. But it sounds like to me that you, in fact, are the one who needs to do some growin up.

And if this was just you tryin to make a funny: ha... ha ha... ha

Cool! That's a pretty good place to play. As this area grows it will become better, they are always looking for ways.

Plus they are (someday) building "Corridor Y" sometime soon. It will connect 459 in Trussville to 65 in Gardendale (Mt. Olive to be more exact), when it begins it will get out house so we will have to find somewhere else to live.

Long story just to say that the Morris area is fixing to EXPLODE!!! Which means good things for the golf course!
