HOW MEN





KIMMYQUEEN SAYS...
To everyone and anyone that cares: I don't understand the complications. People have their own reasons for buying luxury items. They are diverse and sometimes simple... One is "I want to be perceived in a certain way..." or "I love to own beautiful things that I can use on my person." People cannot control how others react or are viewed by others so they need to take whatever good or positive or benefit from it for their own happiness and joy without looking for it from other people even members of their own family. At some point you will need to develop a thick skin AND the ability to not care about others say about your life that you responsibly create for yourself and can afford. I will speak on the gender issue once I have established some things.


Just be yourself, be truly kind and patient. Don't take it personally. Be a person of breeding and assume good intent and if have time, educate as to why you like to buy/collect THESE items, perhaps for the same reasons they collect their own... and maybe you and them will find commonality. If they are pathetic people only deal with them as respectfully as you can when you have to. Don't apologize or over-explain or feel attacked. It is their problem not yours. You do not owe anyone an explanation.

Even if we think it is wrong, judgments and misjudgments of others will happen. Envy and moral weaknesses happen. Buying a beautiful expensive car is not for everyone, buying beautiful expensive clothes or accessories are not for everyone... Some people would prefer to buy beautiful art to put on walls or cases or whatever just to look and admire it, some people love to travel or have expensive experiences, or expensive habits (like hunting, fishing or yachting) others love to eat wonderfully expensive foods... so many things... if we limit our desires that we can responsibly afford, because of others opinions, we are limiting ourselves. Let people think whatever they like... they are not you, they don't have your experiences and they are not paying for your life.

When you are or you are perceived to be in the same, higher OR lower socio-economic level as someone that questions YOUR spending this sort of things happens from weak minded busybodies that have a horrible and perhaps irresponsible relationship with money. They are envious because they don't understand why YOU have something they don't have but want OR could have if they were better with money or made better decisions in their lives (mental weakness, anxiety about their past or future, anger or sadness over their lives). They may question how YOU can afford something they don't think you should be able to afford (they are arrogant and discriminatory and depending on the situation, even perhaps racist) they don't like to see others succeed or be well (they could be psychopaths/evil) OR they don't understand how YOU have habits, desires and and likes that are SO DIFFERENT from their own. Now these people are clowns. They believe their standards of what they like or like to do are the standards that everyone else should have. This is dumb and unintelligent as the person takes no account of the differences in others. Not everyone is the same and an inability to perceive that may mean the person is a narcissist. Do you care really about what these people think of you? Some may feel that you may have done something wrong, immoral or illegal (in the case that is not true as it could be in some situations) that speaks more about their bad relationship with money or whatever other mental, historical, familial or spiritual shortcomings they have than about you.

Stop caring. Be normal and natural and good and responsible. Live your life. You are not accountable to them.

As for the men/woman thing: I think that depends on culture. In cultures where men and women are equal under the law, have the same OPPORTUNITIES etc perhaps you would see criticism be more about what I posted above than solely JUST on a gender issue and spread evenly between genders. Men DO get (mis)judged for the car or shoes or watch or clothes, etc. Criticism may just be different in nature allowing perhaps gender differences, but with the same basis. For example "Is he making up for a lack of something?" (usually sexual in meaning) "Is he going through a mid life crisis? (Women RARELY are critiqued in this way) "Is he cheating on his spouse/job/business?" (Women can cheat too but this may not be a default criticism of women) "Who is he trying to impress?" "Does he lack confidence?" "How can he afford that?" etc.

Once we get into cultures where in varying degrees women are not in (many) positions of power because they are women, they are not allowed to work or are systematically kept in certain jobs, the law treats them differently and not well, their education may not be there to not fully accessible, etc... a woman who wants beautiful things and has them has a rich Father or Husband so she is "lucky". Or maybe she is a prostitute. Or maybe she is sleeping with the boss/powerful men. She stole it. Yet men get no to very little feedback or judgement. So depending on the criticism and the culture the sting maybe felt more for women, but in others it maybe more evenly spread and an individual may not be aware of it.

NOTE: Even if a boss or spouse or financial benefactor has opinions on your spending remember YOU EARN that money. One way or another you add value to their lives, you make their lives easier (or you should). What you do with that money as long as you are taking care of everything you should and you are not hurting yourself or others is your business.
