Why does every man exaggerate their income on the web and in real life?

[jnevin]

I went on a date last week with a guy who kept saying things meant to illustrate how wealthy his family was...."I usually go to my boat in the BVI's for a month in the summer but this year I think I'll do three weeks there and two weeks at my place in east hampton," and, "I felt bad for her when she said, I can't spend 200 dollars on a dress. I was like...200 dollars? That's a ratty pair of jeans to me!" etc etc. It was one of the lamest dates I've ever been on, and I kind of knew a little bit that he was like this but he'd asked me out five times so I had this "Oh whatever, how bad could dinner be?" kind of attitude. Apparently dinner could be and was really bad. Bleh. No thank you.

The owner of my company is like that, it drives me insane. I've seen his books though. He's full of shit.

I'd buy you a happy meal!

I'd enjoy a happy meal with you more than the fancy dinner I had with that douche.

Try being a woman. Men brag INCESSANTLY to us about how much money they make; how important they are; etc etc etc. It is nauseating. Some of them try to be subtle about it, and others beat you over the head with it.

lol

Women are not interested in knowing how much a man makes. It is all about loooove!

Ha....he didn't even get a kiss goodnight. I think it's incredibly gauche to talk about money.

First date with my (now) wife, I took her to burger King. Seriously. We had a great date, the rest is history.

and yep, she makes six figures now, and I do the dishes.


and laundry. Ehh, whatever.





and sex.

As long a she can cough up a GPS.

 

[all the whey]

Got it, just gift you a GPS and they're golden.


I go the other route, I brag about being poor. If a wiminz thinks you have money they just might get some crazy idea about trying to take it.

Same here. When I used to go out a lot. I liked to ask whatever girls I was talking "Do you think they are hiring here"? lol

And, the are more likely to give you the sex right away. Not play the innocent role to trick some rich dude.

WTF??

You should have consulted me. No way would I approve someone like that for you!

Well, I'm interested in knowing, but I wish they would just show me the tax returns and portfolio. They lie. LOL.
