Boys: listen up.
Women like to find a deal. What I mean is that when we go out looking for something, and we find the exact thing we were looking for on sale 40%, 50%, or 75% off, we get a feeling inside that is very difficult to describe. It is a feeling of accomplishment, satisfaction, amazement and excitement all in one. It makes us feel like a winner. I think it must be close to the feeling of winning the Stanley Cup or Wimbledon. It is thrilling beyond explanation.
A little game we like to play is the "let me show you how awesome I am" game. This involves asking you how much you think we paid for the item (alternatively phrased as "how much would you think is a good price to pay for this item"). Here's the thing: if you love your lady, you must play along.
In the event where your lady feels you may not be familiar with how much these items usually go for, she might help you out. She may suggest to you what she's paid for this type of thing in the past. Or she may tell you what the regular price is for this item at another store.
Then, when she asks you the magical question, kindly remember that you are to aim high. For God's sake! AIM HIGH!!!!! If you don't, mark my words, you WILL piss her off!!!
So when your lady says: Baby these cake mixes are usually 3.99 each! And these cookies are usually $4.99 each! I know how much you love cookies and cakes, so I got these for you and stocked up! How much do you think these 5 cake mixes and 8 boxes of cookies cost? C'mon! How much???
The answer, in this particular scenario, is not: "Uh-I don't know, 12 bucks?"
No.
That is most definitely NOT the correct answer.
Because suddenly, I (uh, I mean she) feel(s) that the $60 worth of food I (she) just bought was not really a good deal at $15. And that is Bullshit.
