Things Every Man Wants Or Thinks He Wants
Whether he works a nine to five job in an office or rides the open range, there are things that every man doesn’t have that he thinks he needs. It doesn’t matter how practical they are or whether or not he’ll ever actually use them, he wants them anyway.
Some men are fortunate enough to be able to buy just about anything they want. Since they can’t decide whether they prefer a Rolex or a Tag, they buy a few of each. Undecided between a sports car and a luxury sedan, they buy both. Even though he might live in the midwest, if he can afford it, he’ll buy a yacht, too.
The rich are a good example of how often we only think we want things. Every conceivable luxury product is just wish fulfillment for those who can afford it. The yacht that could sail around the world is lucky if it sees the outside of a harbor. The sports car that can go 200 miles an hour rarely tops 70. The Harley that’s made for cruising cross country is just taken for an occasion spin around town.
We’re all alike. For every ten that are sold, perhaps only one dreadnought acoustic guitar gets played like it’s meant to be played. Guitars are every man’s fantasy. It starts when they’re teenagers. A guitar is just so cool. All men imagine themselves up on stage making the girls faint or sitting around a campfire making everyone admire their skill.
If you live in a crowded city, a mountain bike is not a necessity unless you’re a bicycle delivery boy. That doesn’t stop a man from buying a Schwinn mountain bike, though. Who can blame him? It may come in handy and taking a ride around a suburban block is a lot better exercise than none at all, even if he only goes through 3 or 4 out of the 24 available gears. In a lot of ways, it’s what the bike represents that’s important. Not how much you need it.
There’s hardly a man alive who doesn’t love the sound, the feel and the grunt of a chainsaw. However, do you really need a homelite chainsaw to cut a couple of small branches off a tree in your backyard? It doesn’t matter. It gives a man a good excuse to buy a chainsaw.
Who is going to blame a guy for indulging his fantasies once in awhile? We all work hard and go through our day to day lives. It’s a great feeling to just buy something that feels good to have once in awhile. It doesn’t matter how often we actually use it. Sometimes, just having it is more than enough.
