It’s time to expose this “size doesn’t matter” myth. Just try telling your wife, when the two of you are shopping away, that you’ve exceeded your credit card limit and you can’t make it any bigger. Then you’ll find out that “bigger is better”. Sure, she may tell you it’s not important. Perhaps she’ll put things on layaway and fake satisfaction with your puny and wimpy limit. But, behind your back, she’ll seek satisfaction elsewhere. She might find out what your best friend’s limit is. Or, and I know this is really disgusting, she could even go to your father for help and fulfillment. Also, if you ever do have a large limit, and later on, your limit is reduced (called, “can’t get your limit up” or “fiscaltile dysfunction”), she’ll be the first to dump you, or at least be critical. And once a gal becomes critical, then a guy becomes more apprehensive, which means there will follow further restrictions on his limit. This dysfunction can occur at most any age, but seems to be more of an issue with older men who have limited resources and must budget their accomplishments. There are various organizations available that counsel men that are experiencing diminishing limits, and some suggest cutting the overdrawn instrument in two and throwing it away – an extreme alternative. Of course, all of this is based on how much the woman’s shopping bag can hold.quote:Originally posted by Bartelby:
Other body parts seem to have increased in size too.
Words of advice – marry a gal with a small shopping bag, or very low expectations.
