If someone buys a $200-300 pair of shoes at/by (insert brand name here) then all they are doing is paying to re-enforce and forward the very same marketing tactics which made them THINK they needed those shoes in the first place in order to date said hypothetical girl, -and what is wrong with using something until it can no longer be used? Products are built to die, but a pair of Timberlands can last you 3 years. <BR/>I know that sounds dreamy and naieve, but seriously- if you connect with someone then why not date them. And why does someone have to be a complete conformist tool to be desirable to the average American woman? <BR/>The U.S. economy is in the initial stages of collapse, and people who are now stable might not be at any given moment- (i.e. maybe the TiVo guy ends up with rabbit ears a few months/years down the line) oh- (by the way, with the digital switch you can't even use rabbit ears anymore).<BR/>*mwah!*<BR/>Again, my point: date someone cool who you love and love being with regardless of what their shoes look like!<BR/>I know it sounds like retarded hippy anti-materialist blah-blah B.S. but really: material possessions can and will totally tie you down while pitting us against one-another, while mortgages on overpriced poor-quality property and neverending credit card payments continue to enslave us and this is what we call "life"?<BR/>;) <BR/>P.S. yea, it is Sunday afternoon, I have some time on my hands."Post-Google" by TAR ART RAThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164248659631146885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34124240.post-42910952629941516622009-01-15T19:32:00.000-05:002009-01-15T19:32:00.000-05:00OK.

Is he acting on principle...or is he stingy...or does he think bunny ears, duct tape, and no technology make him "hip"? If it's based on principle, then I'd want to hear more. Thrifty is one thing, but stingy dudes and hipsters are a no-go for me. <BR/><BR/>I'd maybe give him ONE date (because everyone deserves at least once chance) and I'd observe what he orders, how does he react to what I order, does he offer to pay, and what does he tip? Also, if he's too-cool, is his hipster-self perched up high on a pedestal above me? If he's undeservedly stingy or elitist, then no second date because that stinginess or air-of-superiority is (more than likely) going to transfer over to how he treats me.<BR/><BR/>And if it's the sad case that he just doesn't have a lot of money, then come back in two years with a steady job and a paycheck and ask me again. Oooo, that's harsh!Nick and Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407691603515809827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34124240.post-11804785820042172412009-01-15T17:42:00.000-05:002009-01-15T17:42:00.000-05:00Sounds like my polar opposite.Sounds like my polar opposite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34124240.post-89552362899719947422009-01-15T13:34:00.000-05:002009-01-15T13:34:00.000-05:00Agghhh...I know that guy--his were duct taped flip...Agghhh...I know that guy--his were duct taped flip flops. I went on a date or TWO with that guy...seriously. I was young...thought non-conformity as it seemed was kinda cool.<BR/><BR/>My experience--he turned out to be immature and strange--duct tape and all. <BR/><BR/>WAY too funny.<BR/><BR/>MAN...we aren't going to make the wedding...If we could drive, we'd be there...but funds are running low and that means airfare is out. And I just bought a Super 8 camera I was dying to try out on your guys' wedding. MAN o MAN o MAN!Lindsey Broerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207327855381039088noreply@blogger.com
