Guy: I ran away to Japan when I was sixteen and finished out highschool there.
Me: How did you fund that?
Guy: It is easy when your parents have money.
Guy: Every year Mont Blanc issue a new red ink around Valentine's day with a special scent for writing your card. It is very romantic.
Me: My girlfriend would be happy with something nice written with a blue Bic biro, and maybe I could splash some aftershave on it.
Guy: No way. She would be very impressed by the Mont Blanc ink.
Me: No, she wouldn't. (I later asked, and had this confirmed. Always being there for her when she is worried or sick is romantic. Buying over-priced ink is just expressing that you have money.)
Yes, it is cold. Toughen up.
Yes, building standards are lower here. Was anybody claiming otherwise?
Yes, nightclubs close at 2:30am and pubs at 12:30. Deal with it.
Buying expensive ink for your girlfriend's Valentine's card is not romantic. She would much rather you were faithful, which does not rank highly in your priorities. Asking me if my friend and I met any girls later on Wednesday evening, when I have made it clear I am not single, shows you up as not being a nice guy. Who are you trying to impress?

If in the first incident the guy hadn't said "ran away," I'd be less tempted to agree with you.
The person in the second incident is just silly. The idea of over-priced ink easily crosses the line from being thoughtful to being rubbish.
Unless the comments warranting the 3 succeeding statements were said in a tasteless degrading tone, I wouldn't consider them snobyish.
I'm not sure I get the check boxes at the bottom of the post. They don't seem like reasonable opposite opinions. And I lobby for an apathetic option.
It appears they are not mutually exclusive. It might be the case that those are the only "reactions" you care to collect statistics about.
Therefore, ignore my earlier comment.. Carry on
I would not want to attend school in Japan. But that might just be me. :)
Based on past and current experiences:
Snobs put their money upfront simply cuz' they have nothing else to offer. Instead of letting them get to you Dr., u shud pity them for their meaningless acts. And as much as one would like to be showered with diamonds, in the end of the day, any random dude can offer a diamond, but not all can show true n' deep affection. Plus, money doesn't make you.. it's having it and yet still managing to keep up with ur humble nature that elevates your status.
Good Day.
I am glad you agree about the over-priced ink. It is all the same person, btw.
The boxes are just ridiculous.
I think I mean spoilt and soft instead of snobbish.
Mtu, maybe they would not want you either? :p Why are we not allowed to comment on your blog?
L44325jl;jkajf,
I do indeed pity them. I have yet to meet a girl that would fall for a diamond... maybe...
First off, it's "L.R.6.4.3"
If that doesn't root the name into that intellectual brain of urs.. then pardon me, but I have the right to question ur smartness beyond books n' papers;p
Girls that fall for diamonds are one of the two: either she's that simple and can be swayed by mere, monetary gestures… OR her luck has just striked (i.e. she got the man, the brains, the personality, and the bucks)...
I'd like to assume that all those that do fall over diamonds are of the latter….
Simply put, the reason of me 'falling' when given a diamond, isn't for the diamond itself.. it's for the person behind it…a diamond is simply that 'cherry on top'.. a cherry that's very much appreciated;p
L***r643 (ha ha),
Don't your parents just set you up with somebody, and his dad buys you the ring?
Was that an L *angelic* R 643? U called?…
Well marriage, in its common societal form, is a completely different story.. one that'll take more than a couple of sentences
either way, wht was said still holds..
