It's BATHING SUIT SEASON!

Aaarghhh, we may have different model Yamahas, but let me tell you, we are all in the same boat!

My wife spent the entire day yesterday with the wimmin folk shopping. And if it's Spring, the key item on the list is a new bathing suit.

This has been building for weeks. You all know the routine. It starts with the fashion show.... they try on ALL the bathing suits they presently have and they ask you "How does this look?"

You lie, hoping she'll believe you and maybe forgo buying a new one this year. Doesn't work. Never works.

Then after that stage is over - she will simply say something like, "I have too many already. This one is fine."

And then she goes on-line.

Hey honey, look at this one. What do you think? (I think I'm gonna puke if I look at another bathing suit)
Me: "Oh, that one's nice, but I thought you didn't need one?"

Well, so and so is coming and she always has the cutest suits, I don't want to wear that old one on the first trip..... (too late, I puked in my mouth)

And after shopping all day, what did she get?

nada, nothing, zilch.


So they are going again, to a bigger mall. It's boating season alright. :cool:
 
The Girl has three suits for the boat. One piece streamline for swimming, bikini and matching board-shorts for watersports and hanging around, birthday, for everything else.

Wait until they need to accesorize the eventual suit with matching flip-flops, sunglasses, and bags! lol! Good Luck!, and may God have mercy on your eternal Soul!
 
Some people have numerous birthdays each year. No really, look it up! :winkingthumbsup"
 
Glassman,
Let me get this straight. You got to see her try on all the current bathing suits, in the flesh as it were and check her out to maker sure they fit and are functional. Then she makes you look at I don't know, hundreds of swimsuits on very beautiful women, while trying to imagine her in them. Then she leaves you home with beer and boat while she goes and tries to find "the suit" which she will have to show off in when she finds it.

And your complaining about it? Man you just ain't right in the head. :rolleyes:

Magic, obviously The Girl knows what she needs for the season and you certainly have your priorities straight. :thumbsup:

Trace, are you married?
I've been married 22 years, I've seen all the suits a bazillion times. They all look great and I tell her so. It's the ritual that drives me nuts!

And for the record. there were no hundreds of women wearing bathing suits. Not even a one actually. Just pictures of women's bathing suits. That's it. Pages and pages of bathing suits.

Ever try and watch a baseball game with your wife calling you over to look at bathing suits every five minutes?

Dan will tell you about the "Drill". He knows....
 
Just went through this over the last few days....I just keep telling her they are too big:shamefullyembarrased::woot:

The thing with waiting outside the fitting room is that there is always one lady that tries to fit too much into too little and you have to stare at the floor while you listen to her man flounder about coming up with positive comments.

We started T25 15 weeks ago to get ready for the season and a trip my wife is taking to LA with my sister in law for Mother's Day. Neither has been to LA so they decided to cash in all of my Marriott and AA points for a 6 day trip costing a whopping $12. 15 weeks in my wife looks more like the girl I met at 23 than a mother of 2 boys. She is into it to the point that she is now a Team Beachbody Coach, buying up everything they make. At this point we are 5 bathing suits and well over a $1000 in Beachbody workouts, shakes and gear in but she is happy so I am happy.

Yes, I am married. 23 years actually. If your not looking at women in suits, you need to direct her to the sites that do display their wares on women. My wife likes baseball, so she wouldn't be shopping suits during a good game in the first place. lol

23 Years! Well then you know the drill.

And do you really think I'm going to tell my wife that I want to see the suits on other women? Drinking Drano would be less painful!

My wife lives and breathes baseball and softball (how do you think I get away with watching it while she wants my attention?) But only the Dodgers or my daughter's team will pull her away from shopping - something in the genes, I think.

Now that was just too funny. You sound like you have some experience with that.
 
Cheap wife = Easy life! My wife is too cheap to go through the yearly ritual. In fact, she has only purchased 1 suit on her own during the last 8 years. I purchase all her suits for her and am always suggesting ones that would look good on her. If it were up to her, the suits would be a little more conservative than I like. I like them sexy but classy. I think I do alright!

I'm with @OperationROL ....cheap wife=Easy wife....except when it comes to wanting to buy toys! My wife hates spending money on swimsuits....she says...."the smaller they are the more expensive they get.....what the F$#@ is with that!" My daughter on the other hand is adopted....and she has the "spending Dad's money" gene along with a gene mutation called "Spend it faster".... sigh
