Things Every Man Wants Or Thinks He Wants

Whether he works a nine to five job in an office or rides the open range, there are things that every man doesn’t have that he thinks he needs. It doesn’t matter how practical they are or whether or not he’ll ever actually use them, he wants them anyway.
There are a few men who can afford to indulge themselves in whatever they think they want. If they’re looking for a luxury watch and can’t make up their mind which one to buy, they just buy one or two of each. For these guys, it doesn’t need to be a toss up between a flashy sports car and a luxurious sedan. They can afford to buy both. A guy might live thousands of miles from the ocean, but he’ll still buy a yacht.
The rich are a good example of how often we only think we want things. Every conceivable luxury product is just wish fulfillment for those who can afford it. The yacht that could sail around the world is lucky if it sees the outside of a harbor. The sports car that can go 200 miles an hour rarely tops 70. The Harley that’s made for cruising cross country is just taken for an occasion spin around town.
It’s the same for all of us, rich or not so rich. Maybe only one dreadnought acoustic guitar out of a dozen ever gets to be played as it deserves to be played. The rest of them spend most of their time in the closet. Owning and playing a fine guitar is just about every man’s dream. All men have their inner rock star who wants to get out.
Then there’s the mountain bike. Other than a bicycle messenger, what man who lives in the city really needs all the gears you get on a Schwinn mountain bike? That doesn’t stop them from being sold, though. Most of them are sold to men who dream about needing 24 gears. There’s nothing wrong with that, though, especially if they take the bike out for a ride once in awhile. The important thing is not how badly you need the gears, but how nice it is to know they are there.
A homelite chainsaw is another example. Chainsaws are great timesavers when you need them. But do you need a chainsaw to cut a half inch diameter branch off a tree? It doesn’t matter. Men love the sound, the feel and the power of a chainsaw. Give a man an excuse to buy one and he will.
Who is going to blame a guy for indulging his fantasies once in awhile? We all work hard and go through our day to day lives. It’s a great feeling to just buy something that feels good to have once in awhile. It doesn’t matter how often we actually use it. Sometimes, just having it is more than enough.
