    I found out also that girls don't like it when you care more about objects then them. So right now all I have is my mags, my truck, and a lazy dog.

              ya, but that means you gotta sleep covered in peanut butter, and it's just more of a mess than its worth.

                never been through that with a GF, but as a married guy i find it easy enough to bring new markers into the house...

                1) if possible, meet the mailman on the street and go in through the garage- leaving the marker in a hidy spot;
                2) have it delivered somewhere else, or request sig conf so that, if you aren't home to sign, you'll need to go to the PO by yourself and get your treasure;
                3) use the old "i bought this so i could part it out and spend the money on you;"
                4) if you've been together long enough, or married long enough, she obviously finds some sort of redeeming qualities about you- at that point you can just use the old "yeah, i bought a new marker... and?" hopefully she'll have enought going on in her life that arguing over a marker would be pointless.

                  stop making excuses

                  well for all those out there that didnt find the "right one" but married her anyway...

                  my girl is not only not into kids and marriage, she bought me an X for my bday...
                  any pb purchase i want she supports... too much.
                  sometimes i know i shouldnt buy it and she talks me into it.

                  she started playing last year with me and her first gun was a mag (ofcourse) now shes playing tourneys and winning with our team.

                  SOOOOOOO to all those out there (without kids) GIRLFRIENDS ARE NOT EXCUSES! buy it with your money and tell her if she has a problem with it she can return those retarded 800 dollar purses and pay the rent with that!!!!!!!!

                    I just tell my wife when I want to buy another marker..... and while I'm waiting for my marker to arrive thru the mail I take her shopping for shoes, clothes, or whatever. If I'm buying me something new I make sure she gets to buy new stuff as well. It's worked just find for us. I have over a dozen markers and we've never had an argument/issue about me buying any of them.
                    Keep your spouse (or g/f) happy and life is great.....

                      it's just like the George Thorogood song, "no input whatsoever, until I get a wedding ring"

                      I think that's how the words go........................

                        Just make a budget. Gals in general like budgets because it makes them feel secure (even if they complain about it sometimes). Add in some fluff money for her each (week, month, year, ect) and some for you. Then you spend it on whatever you want, and she gets an equivalent amount as well. And both of you wont feel bad because you know that it is not going to jepodarize the rent, car payments, ect.

                              I don't ask about how much her new "shoes" cost nor do I hassle her about how many new "shoes" she has bought in the past month. I do offer compliments about how nice they look. ;0)

                              She generally does the same for me and my paintballing.

                              I tell her about my markers... I show her... she smiles and says nice things about the size of the barrel.

                              It has worked out fine for the last 24 years.

                                just going to put it out there but the only reason a female should have a say in what you spend your money on is the following:
                                -you are married to her
                                -you share finances as if you were married
                                -you are spending money that should go to rent/food/bills/etc
                                -you are spending money on things that are bad choices (bad addictions, etc) even then its more so she should be telling you that she is worried what your doing not so much about the cash

                                if none of the above are met and she complains in a serious way not just joking on you tell her to shove it or say bye bye.
