sweetmoose 0 #2 December 18, 2006 Well, if you do buy her that purse, you'll probably get some great sex in exchangeWe die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #3 December 18, 2006 Everybody's priorities are different. Spending lots of money on skydiving seems normal to you and me, but it's totally ridiculous to most other people. So she wants a purse, it doesn't have to make sense to you. It makes sense to her, that's all you need to understand. So basically, suck it up and quit whining.

guppie01 0 #4 December 18, 2006 I have only had/bought 2 purses in the past 10 years... both were Coach, not because I haven't wanted to buy another purse, but I haven't needed to. They are good quality. Factor in how much your sweetie may spend in purse(s) for the next ten years if she buys cheap quality.... ex. $50-$100 per year. I don't believe I spent more than $300 for either of mine. Up to you... g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"

Darius11 12 #5 December 18, 2006 She got you a Mamba.So here is what you should do. First get the purse she wants and get something to go with it as well. GO to your local dive shop and by a snorkel (Rig it up so it works threw your nose). Then give her the purse as she sits on your face for at least an Hour. Make sure she is good and satisfied then make her favorite drink. I think that would be adequate.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TALONSKY 0 #6 December 18, 2006 What are you bitching about??? She spent way more money on you!!! I personally would buy the purse then put $500 cash in it and tell her it is for cloths and you will go shopping with her. Personally when I bought a new rig$4600, I turned right around and told my wife(girlfriend at the time) she could have a new wardrobe and I would go shopping with her. She only spent about $2000 and I kept telling her she could spend more if she needed to ( the rig and wardrobe went on a credit card that is now paid off) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildcard451 0 #7 December 18, 2006 First of all. Quit being a little bitch and think about the gift value you are whining about. Everyone else has you pegged so far. Second.......am I the only person wondering why someone with 8 jumps in their profile is asking for a mamba? I hope either that is seriously out of date, or that you throw in your life insurance policy into your gf's new purse. Good luck. Then I remembered that this is the internet and that anything goes. Have fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,009 #11 December 18, 2006 >so i asked for a mamba from my girlfriend for christmas.....i got it! Hmm. Well, you certainly didn't need that! A protec works fine (heck, better than the mamba when it comes to saving your life) and it's $40. >bitch and try and get my point across! The risk there is you actually DO get your point across - and she realizes you don't need things like a Mamba. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nbblood 0 #12 December 18, 2006 Is your profile correct? 8 jumps? Mamba? If so, good luck with that. Am I missing something here? Seems like the purse would be much more useful in this scenario. Maybe I'm missing something. I hope so. edited: QuoteUm before your panties get too far into a wad, he could be talking about Boneheads helmet the "Mamba" Ah, I guess I may have been thinking the wrong thing.

If you are a premier member you dont see that. Which is why i wondered why you guys had assumed, but it makes sense. I forgot about that.

wmw999 2,461 #18 December 18, 2006 The link was automatically generated by dz.com. This makes it pretty confusing. I'll just bet that his girlfriend bought him a helmet. No small expense, but less than the Coach purse. If I were you, I'd still get her the purse. A 350 dollar helmet is a really nice present, and a 440 dollar purse is also. Things aren't always even. If she's the kind of girl who will always expect to get the "nicer" present, you might want to consider your taste in women, unless you like that feeling of treating your girl like a queen. Some guys really do, others prefer to alternate. That's entirely up to you. But if you want to spend Christmas with her, I'd seriously consider the purse. But I'd also consider seeing if you can find it from a reputable dealer on Ebay for less. Because I'm a cheap sort of person Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

Why do YOU have a problem with the purse being that much, the purse is not for you, if you are happy spending that ammount of money STFU, and get her what she wants... Who are you to judge the value of her choices.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

wildcard451 0 #22 December 19, 2006 I just wanted to fuck with people honestly. Enjoy the helmet. $440 for a purse is silly, but whatever. $2000 for a stitched up piece of nylon is silly to most people too. But at least the nylon has a very practical use.
