Why is it when you have waited and gone through all the excitement of ordering and getting a new boat that when it arrives and you get it, no sooner have you taken delivery when your eyes start to look at other 'better' or 'more interesting' boats. It seems the same as when you eventually get married, the same thing happens, and you then start to look around at other interesting things.

So what is it that causes this, is it the thrill of the chase that has suddenly ended and you are looking for a new thrill? I must say that sometimes when I have been in a self service restaurant and selected what I want and get to the till, I sometimes fancy what is on someone elses tray, have you ever fancied what is on someone elses tray or is it just me? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I sometimes wish I could be totally happy with what I have got, but there is an excitement about new adventures and new things, how can I become happy with what I have and stop looking at other trays? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Will age slow this process down so that I will eventually be grateful for what I can get or have, or do I need professional help? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Well, this is progress. Fact is I'm afriad you are quite rubbish at choosing things, and you have finally begun to realise same. Slowly, things will get better but the first stage is already achieved - you have admitted the problem.
 
Its called ManLogic. I've had 11 boats in 17yrs and there was always an absolutely irrefutable and logical reason why the boat needed to be changed. My SWMBO reckons that while I'm thinking about changing boats, cars and bikes, I'm not thinking about changing her but women are not always right
 
I am fully satisfied with SWMBO and she does not need to be changed. She staisifies every need I have, or will ever be permitted to have and no additional needs are anticipated.

Were the above in handwriiting I suspect it would have been in Heather's:-)

Boat: want bigger, six berths, two engines and someone else paying all the bills.
 
Hmm I know the feeling, especially with cars-however 4 boats in 3 years feels like the same rules. I wonder if its linked to the fact that men are more likely to be promiscous and have many partners than women? Bet there's a Freudian link in there somewhere (or is that just me?!).

Thinking about it, I bet the more you refer to your boat/car/bike as "she" rather than "it" the more likely you are to swap? Or that reversed in some cases?
 
I think we have an example fo that already, so I guess size doesn't really matter then /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

There has to be something more to it and I am searching, I am more than happy with my own personal equipment that I was born with, but then again that is not so easy to change even if you wanted to, so is it the ease at which you can change things that makes this happen, and if so, why buy and not rent, then you can swap as much as you want?

I have a few very nice cars and saw an advert for a supercar club where you paid in say £30k a year and had so many days use of a great selection of supercars, this has to be considered when you see how much you can lose in depreciation, plus the servicing and cleaning aggravation, I think arrive and drive is the way to go.

Now where are the yellow pages, I'm sure I saw a rent a wife advert, arrive and ride or something like that, no cleaning to do just hand em back and wait for the next weekend, hassle free and no back chat /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Personally I have nothing against mysoginism, or whatever it’s called. I wouldn’t call myself one, but that’s like not calling a rectangle a square. Both of them still know men are better than women, it doesn’t matter how many sides they have /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
There could be a number of reasons for your desires for the next/bigger/better item. But in your case, my diagnosis is that it is a symptom of your deep-seated guilt complex. Each new purchase is in effect a reward. And your subconscious tells you that if you are getting all these rewards, you can't really be all that bad! Now confess, what is it you feel so guilty about? /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

ps bill for professional services is in the post!

There are plenty of nightclubs which should help you out, don't forget your leather cap. There is not the same stigma as there used to be and now you are out of the forces you are at least able to come out without fear.

I always knew there was something about you...
 
Now I may be on my own here but I am very happy with my boat, its a good size for us, in my oppinion it looks like new and its relatively affordable as far as running costs are concerned and most importantly its paid for in full.

Also very happy with the other half, I have changed my women many many times over the years in fact I changed em that often I reckon I'm a bit of an expert and it has to be said the current model looks like new is affordable as far as running costs are concerned and is very very nearly paid for.

Read a quote the other week which I feel sums it up for me .......
"Happiness is not having what you like but liking what you have" how very very true............................
 
I am extremely happy with my wife adn was in the same frame of mind about the boat until I found out that your's is now bigger than mine by some 3".
This has resulted in a serious complex that will require a cunning solution to resolve............... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
