That actualy annoys the heck out of me. Some people who don't know me assume that some of my stuff comes from my parents.

I will eventualy buy myself a Rolex, but not until I feel I have earned it. I have not payed my dues yet, so I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one. I don't want to be "some kid who made a few bucks and bought himself a watch".
I hope my comment didn't fall on the wrong ears, Hat. I know you work real hard for what you have. Me culpa if it seemed directed at you.

Some other posters on the forum love to flaunt their playboy lifestyle, and that was who my comment was intended for. For all we know, Kamil drives a
'82 diesel Chevette and cleans the john at Rutgers. Anyone can cut and paste pictures.

Edzachery. Not too many care free trust funders that I know post pictures of their long time girlfriends that have tramp stamps or ask for dating advice on the internet. Looking for people to impress here because there are none in real life.

Well, since I am married, Dating advice is not necessary or needed. But if I were dating again, you bet I would seek advice or whatever help I can get. To give you an example or two. My wife is 43. Why can't she pick out her own clothes? I am 40. Why can't I? Well, when she wears what she picks out, it is ok. When she wears what I picked out, quite often she gets complements. Vice versa. I shop for her in Vicky's Secret (Although they practiced sexual discrimination against me. WTF?? Why can't I fit bras on women?) She tells the hairdresser how to cut my hair and how I will wear it. When I was single, I used to pick on a pretty girl and ask her what she would like to see me in (clothes wise) if we were on a date. Actually, it netted me a couple of dates but many complements.

Tramp stamps? That talking about how the girl has a tatoo of his name on her back? If you think about it, when you get married, chances are the girl will have YOUR last name. Guess one form is more socially acceptable than the other although both make you, in a way, owned by the guy if you are a girl.

This seems to have very little, if anything, to do with my quoted comment.

A tatoo is a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling(thanks Jimmy Buffet), unless you spend big $$$ on laser removal.
