Consider this:
Your safety umbrella can be purchased for a mere $620.00
I am not married, but know plenty of women and cannot figure out this handbag phenomena. Someone explain to me why a piece of leather and some straps put together by a 12 year old in Bangladesh is worth $620. At least I can tell you why a supercharger costs $10K. There is metal in there, engineering, machining, design, and a hundred and fifty parts. Made in Sweden in a real factory.
And the funny thing is... no guy gives a shit what kind of handbag a woman has. When was the last time you looked at a woman's bag and said to yourself "oh my! she has a Louis V handbag I must get her number"???
I can't even tell one bag from another. And let me tell you the handbag is the LAST thing I am looking at when I see a woman. So who is it for? other women? Or do they actually see some sort of hidden value in that thing? Do they think one is "better built" than another? do they think one makes them more beautiful than another?
I have actually given these worthless things as gifts before to the delight of the receiving female. But I still didn't get it. I did it because one female told me to get it for another female. I went in and a gay sales clerk started by showing me a $5000 one with a straight face. Perhaps he did not realize I was a straight man that was not currently on crack.
Someone that gets this please shed some light for me.
