[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your first mistake is assuming that women who own nice things are universally materialistic. The long and short of it is that I love beautiful, high quality items. Yes that includes things like a Chanel CF, but it also includes many other under the radar (and moderately priced) items that you might not know of. Liking nice things isn’t materialistic. Shoving it in peoples faces, assuming it makes you better than - that’s materialistic. I’m just living my life.

The thing I find so fascinating (as I assume your question is a spin off of the B&F thread about designer items), is the hostility directed to women who buy nice items. You rarely see the same vitrol for a nice watch a man buys to mark a milestone - but if a woman buys a purse or jewelry, she’s a materialistic shrew. I encourage you to question why that dynamic exists.

Finally, I also used to be one of those self righteous people that smugly said I valued experiences other things. And while I do love experiences - travel, good meals with friends, concerts - it’s all *consumption* just the same. So I got off my high horse.

I suggest you get off yours. [/quote]

You assumed the word shrew. But the reality is that liking physical things to get joy is materialistic.[/quote]
