What do you have that others are impressed by? I get compliments on my wedding ring occasionally. Other than that I can’t think of anything. DH has an El Camino. People talk to him on a daily about it. Interested in what YM has (material wise) that makes them say wow.

Who's "them"? People you know? Complete strangers? Dudes who want to hit it?

My house (it's on the water) and my dog (she's a pretty girl, even though she's a mutt).
Other than that I'm pretty meh.
Oh, my kids are nice looking too. Even though they are totally in the puberty awkward stage with braces and big feet, they are nice looking.

I get a lot of compliments on my style. I work in a department full of women and people notice things like dresses and shoes and cool accessories. I have a couple necklaces people threaten to steal on a regular basis. Not because they're expensive, but because they are awesome.
My hair and my daughters' hair: long, thick, various levels of riotously curly. Especially now that I've dyed my hair red.

Same with style. I don't wear very much jewelry, but I always get compliments on my clothes and shoes. My hair is also long and thick and (mostly) black.

People talk to him on a daily about it. Interested in what YM has (material wise) that makes them say wow. I learned to drive in an El Camino. Although, I don't get what the discussions would be other than "I fried my legs on the vinyl seats, AGAIN. Damn summer." I don't get compliments for anything physical. There, I'm nothing special. Our house is full of old shit. We still have a VCR. Our cars are old. I'm still wearing some clothes at are 7 years old. Thieves would break into our house and be pissed off that they wasted their efforts.
But, people are impressed that I'm maintaining a 4.0 in grad school on top of everything else. And I think my project that I need to start working on will be good enough to publish, as does my mentor. My MIL is impressed that I manage to squeeze in enough time to make things for those that don't have less than I do. I'll take wowing people with my brain over wowing them with material possessions.

Possessions? I don't know. I guess it depends on the audience. Horse people are quite impressed with my gelding, but non-horse people just think he's a pretty horsey. I wouldn't say "Wow"! at any ring because jewelry doesn't do anything for me, and I wouldn't know a good one from a bad one (I mean, unless it was so ungodly large that I said "Wow"! as in "WTF?".) On this board people say wow that I maxed my 401K and IRA on $18/hour. Other people I hang with have no clue what an IRA is or what the 401K max is.
So...it's all pretty subjective.

I get wow for being a work from home mom with two toddlers.
Material wise, I'm pretty unimpressive. The community we live in gets an occasional wow.

I guess the only interesting thing going on for me right now is that I'm on my town's council (appointed last year) and I'm running for election this year.
I also have some cool necklaces I get a lot of compliments on and I have great hair.

So no one here has a “G wagon”? Mercedes G class SUV?
Btw, my ring is nothing special - 1 carat center with 3 bands of smaller diamonds. Could be coming from women who want a wedding ring...any ring. I don’t know?
The El Camino is in excellent shape. Brings out memories in people I guess. Sounds super tough. Gear heads? Idk?

S o no one here was a “G wagon”? Mercedes G class SUV? Btw, my ring is nothing special - 1 carat center with 3 bands of smaller diamonds. Could be coming from women who want a wedding ring...any ring. I don’t know? The El Camino is in excellent shape. Brings out memories in people I guess. Sounds super tough. Gear heads? Idk? No. I have a Honda mommy van. I'm not going to a pile of money into a car that's going to hold a pile of food wrappers and smell like dirty cleats.

I don’t know?The El Camino is in excellent shape. Brings out memories in people I guess. Sounds super tough. Gear heads? Idk? It might just be a well designed ring that looks nice on your finger. I remember when I got engaged a friend was obsessed with how large my 1 carat looked on my hand. She also had a carat, and a much larger more expensive band and she couldn't figure out why my carat looked larger.

OMG! No one has a G wagon here. They’re $100k used! My mind is blown. I guess some have to spend their billions on something.

It’s a princess cut (square surface) so it’s all surface area.

I'm pretty sure I've never even seen a G wagon. I certainly don't know anyone that owns one.

I’m sure some people do have some material items that get noticed. Your lake house. MN horses... I know this group isn’t the group to have flashy stuff but some have to have some bling bling.

I don't have waterfront property to show off. I have it because the water brings me an inner peace I don't get anywhere else.

This just floors me. Some of the card groups that I do not belong to, in order to keep the group from talking about them, is, I know what 4th Street is. 4th Street is an alternative n/s route to avoid busy arterial streets. The slope is less than the other streets on slick days. There are two churches, three banks and two expensive restaurants on it. As well as many small businesses and homes.
20 or more years ago the skate boarders and kids would hang out there. The PD actually put video surveillance to see what was going on. They were mainly interested in drug dealing. The kids used to park in any parking lot facing main street to stop, chat, watch people dragging Main Street. Property owners did not like the liability and possible vandalism issues so the kids were forced out. They went to 4th Street because less traffic.
Those women have zero idea what they are talking about.

Let’s see ....
It’s not the soccer Mom or old guy cars.
It’s not my growing bald spot.
Or my Santa Claus physique.
Or than I’ve become a grumpy old man.
Damn, I’ve got to start doing some serious groveling or the DW is gonna trade me in for a better model!
