Do women like projectors too?

[AtoZ]

Hi, I've been browsing the forums for a while now, and have noticed that very few women post. Also guys tend to have to persuade their other halves of the benefits of projectors I love my projector and had to persuade my other half to go and demo one - although he was suitably impressed! Is this rare or are there other women out there who are keen on AV stuff?

This is the internet mate women like AV they just dont use the internet as much as men most forums are like this unless its a fansite...

[throwit]

reckon you're just a special kinda girl

[VirusKiller]

Yes they do, but often only once they've seen them in action...

Not as much as shoes...

Most women I know (including my Wife) tend not to join in forums such as this even though they too are interested in all things AV.

The reason being that a lot of the time they seem to get the 'OOOHHH a women is posting on the forum...must make an effort to suck up to her or make innuendos constantly' from the majority of the male forum members

I don't think it happens that much on here with the female members (allthough I have seen posts from females get a lot fo attention purely because they are that) but it is very sickening when it does and kind of makes you wonder what kind of life the blokes have if they get so excited about talking to a women on a forum

We do not speak of the enemy..........

Can ladieeees boast about how many inches they have on display?...surely not...

Sorry for being childish and starting the innuendos as mentioned above...the voices told me to do it.

My partner has no interest in the technical side. But she loves the end result.

Even to the point of putting up with a monstrous 35Kg Black Servo15 subwoofer in the lounge.

What a gal.

i just pity my next g/f if she doesnt like it.......2 amps, DVD player, 11 speakers and a subwoofer, plus a projector.....heh

and i aint selling!

(altho i might be persuaded to split the hifi stuff from the home cinema stuff so its not all in one room if we move in together...lol)

if she wuvs me she wont make me sell it!...heh

totally agree, my wife just didn't get the point until she finally agreed to sit and watch Dr Who last week.....she was suitably impressed to put it mildly!

Gents is this a wise thread .....they could be listening

[thudspud]

Mine doesn't like my new projector, says the screen is far too big and it makes her feel sick so we have only watched one film on it since I got it

[mallidiv]

well...
I think everyone even close to like watching movies loves the projectors...

it is just that most women have other priorities in investing money...

because pj is a waste (like any other homecinema type) since someone could be happy with 25 inches of the old world...

more men seem to be into technology...
and spending money on that...

but we still love em, and they can visit as here to see a movie on OUR projector.

My wife loves ours, but then going to the movies is her fave night out. Since we've had kids we cant so much so.....


She actually said to me today.. "dont bother getting a cheap new DVD player, lets buy the best we can afford, we'll (i.e you) only moan about the pq ""
