Don't judge. So what if its show off? Most people like to show off in one way or another.
Lots of men like expensive cars. Why? The car gets you from point A to point B. A cheap reliable Corolla can do the job. Why buy a car that cost the down payment of a house? There are even some cars that cost more than a house. Limited edition supercars cost over more than a million USD. Why the hell would anyone need 500+ hp to drive on regular roads?
Talking about houses. Why do people buy mansions? I can't imagine needing a 20+ bedrooms, 10+ bathrooms, my own full size olympic pool, home theatre that can sit 50+ ppl, etc etc.
Or how about Swiss mechanical watches that cost as much as cars? I can get a $20 Casio watch that does a better / more accurate job of telling time along with other features.
Why buy jewelry? Thousands of dollars just for a piece of carbon rock on your finger. De Beers has been running that biggest scam of all time with their "a diamond is forever" claim.
The short answer is, all these things (and a lot of other things) are simply status symbols. Handbags are status symbols almost exclusively for women, so men think its vain, but a lot of material goods we want are equally vain. Vanity is human nature. |
