I brought my very first fountain pen(Pilot Metropolitan) into the wild yesterday. These things are great conversation starters. I recommend a fountain pen to all you single guys out there. They are better chick magnets than puppies.

many a member have lost pens to their wives as a lot of them become more interested in this hobby unlike any other on B&B, if she gets excited about our next purchase watch out, she's after it. Ive never heard our female members having the same issue with husbands though. glad your enjoying the pen Tony
LOL! Oh, so true.

My wife has decided to use the new pen for writing Christmas cards. She loves it. Now she wants red or green ink.
lol carefull looks like shes trying to shove you head first down this rabbit hole
I can't decide what's worse. Having my wife roll her eyes anytime a package arrives with obvious pen related address of origin (which happened a mere 5 hours ago, accompanied by a cynical comment to the kids) ... or having her start showing interest in my pens and ink. 
the interest, its way worse
That distinctly sounds like it's coming from experience. 
I would MUCH rather have her be interested. We don't have kids, so it's just us for now. She is not a hobby person herself, and I would love to share mine with her so we have something else to draw us together. Shaving is not one of them lol. Unfortunately, she doesn't like fps either, so I'm doomed for the synical comments and dirty looks for everI can't decide what's worse. Having my wife roll her eyes anytime a package arrives with obvious pen related address of origin (which happened a mere 5 hours ago, accompanied by a cynical comment to the kids) ... or having her start showing interest in my pens and ink.
Take it as a loss and buy another(10) pen(s).
I think I'm with Syn. As long as it all gets lumped into the straights/pens/headphones/amps/gaming pc parts mishmash it tends to get lost in the mix. Once things are individually considered ... well that's when the trouble starts a' brewin'.
wait so collecting traditional jazz, blues and ragtime 78 records is not the way to get to know chicks ?
I would have never guessed.
I would have never guessed.
Her showing interest is a BIG plus!
My wife has no interest in my pens. When I use mine in the hospital, people look at me like I'm a relic or trying to be ironic. 
Well......this sounds familiar lolMy wife has no interest in my pens. When I use mine in the hospital, people look at me like I'm a relic or trying to be ironic.
Seems to me there should be one more Pop-Up auction coming and for a 51 no less. You should pass this one along with some nice red ink, and start bidding fast and furiouw when it comes along!
The very rare double enable. I think I should get extra points
See here. I call that the super turbo #1 mega enable.
