I just get what I want, when I want. Its easy.
For all the guys with a little string tied around there finger, just ask her how many pairs of shoes she has?
Thats a great way to end the conversation !!

Been married 24 years and there is absolutely no reason, trinket, bribe, excuse, "technical rational" blah, blah, blah that hasn't already been worn thin and/or seen through.
Was hoping one of you clever types might come up with a totally new approach that would throw her off ... oh, well

"how many shoes?" >>>> "how many pliers? how many wrenches? how many screwdrivers ... need I go on?"
Good in theory, usually goes down in flames in my house

We were married 43 years, ours is a partnership. I get something nice next time she gets something nice. I don't whine when she wants and she doesn't whine when I do. Worked for us. Of course I slept on the couch a few times before I adopted that plan.

I tries that and she then proceeded to add up the cost of all the shoes she has.
And there is a lot of em
Even built a wardrobe just for the shoes
Anyway, the total cost of all the shoes doesn't even come close to the cost of what I spend on 1 bike.
And I have 4.
No, I need a more devious method.

It's good for one shot, though laughing part would not be good ... cut laughing part and figure out some totally incomprehensible bet with buddy she can't figure out and thus idiot calling kept to minimum

Nup, not a good way to go.

What more could a woman ask for? 
That alone is worth "1/2 - 3/4 a bike" in my opinion. Ask her how many of her friends husbands build homes for their wives fashion accessories? See ... what a damn fine fellow you are.You're at least 1/2 way to new bike on that one IMO.
