Great photo, Bruno. In our culture a pussy is a guy who is somewhat weak with regards to women, or one who is more like a woman in his thinking. If comes from the term "pussy whipped" meaning that a woman controls many things that he does. I don;t think that you want to be a pussy. It has nothing  to do with cats and dogs, but men and their attitude.

You've got some nice downloads. Seems that you have one to fit every occasion.

No matter how good looking the 'babe' is you're with, after a couple of years together you'll still get slapped upside the head for not noticing.

Over a short time things tend to become very relative. Believe it or not.. you can get 'tired' of money and you can get 'tired' of beauty.

No, you really don't believe that?!...[/quote]

Yes I do. Been there, done that.

The queens and bunnies fade. Your past experience seems to indicate that you weren't happy with what was left over.. or maybe vice versa? Not looking for disposables anymore here, it's time to really settle down.

Money overdose does not make me happy. We're quite comfortable being as 'normal' as possible, no debts, no rent/mortgage and enough left over so that we don't pay attention to prices on the menu. It's nice when the dinner talk with guests does not revolve around money, investments, cars, boats or wealth comparisons.. Real friends are priceless. If you really have true wealth you will know what I mean.



[/quote]

Diapers are disposable, BC, not people. But I do need to get up to your true wealth level because at this time my monthly visa  payment probably exceeds the gross monthly income of most of the guys who post on this forum. No debt would be nice and I am working on it. Now regarding that mortgage. If you were a risk taker, and I am, the backend equity on my house is huge. If I were smart I would take a second and then take that money and invest it into something that would earn me even more money. It's something we Americans do, not sure what Italians do, called investing for the future. It kind of sounds that you have stopped being proactive. It's kink of like slowily dieing, is it not? Don't die, BC, you've3 got so much more to live for.

Queens and bunnys do fade, but they are replaceable, if that is what one wants to replace. I'm looking for the long term. So the fading can happen,we call that "growing old". Don'tknow what you Italians call it.

 

Oh...one more thing, The three cars: Explorer, Buick, and BMW are all paid for. Does that count? The boat is paid for, the summer home (waterfront) is paid for. I've got a really tiny house payment and some monthly credit card payments, mention above. I do not doubt for a moment that I will not only achieve your state of financial bliss, BC, but knowing me I will mostly likely exceed it. Just give me some time, please.

LOL PeeWee.. sounds exactly like the dinner conversations I like to avoid :D

No not dying, but enjoying the time I have left as best as I can with wife and kids. I'd rather be together 24/7 than running around the countryside chasing down rubles. Time is money but money won't buy me time. If it did I would agree with ya!.

Yes rationale is a bit different here. I wouldn't even think about selling the house to a bank in hopes of reaping more elsewhere. Different folks, different strokes.

So Peewee. you think you can buy what you want, but if so, again, why settle for so little. If you buy (or rent) get good value. That applies to everyone, in the relationship, look for good value, not in economic terms, but in terms of what you offer each other as people. Don't be marrying thieves, unless that is what you want, don't be marrying women upon whom you can rely upon only in negative terms. All of us deserve better than that.

PeeWee,
BC is right. Your posts tell us your values center on beauty and money. I'm afraid you've been watching too many TV commercials or something. But, seriously, where will you be when you are 60 and semi-good looking? I think there are a lot of intelligent guys here, who understand the folly in placing too much emphasis on beauty and money. I hope you learn that valuable lesson. Doug

Here is what is great about the internet for some people. You can tell others on forums how rich you are, how you only date movie stars and playboy bunnies, how good looking you are. The problem is you can never really prove it unless you post your name and address so people can verify it. But no one wants to do that. So PeeWee, when we dont really believe or really care dont be surprised. I have learned one thing form life and that is when someone has to tell you how rich they are or how handsome, they are usually full of shit. Most well off classy guys are to modest to make such statements, in other words they are not so insecure that they have to brag about it.

reminds me of this guy from florida who was here in the spring. he and a friend of mine (who happens to be a millionaire, drives a bentley, lives in a very nice house) went to a club. the guy from florida basically told us all about his ex as being a "miss something or other", how he made it big in real estate in FL..you know, millions. he then invited my friend to have a drink and when the bill came, invited him to pay for it.

he also claims to have bribed officials in st. petersburg to the tune of $10,000 so he could have his wedding at the peterhof..  could be true, i dunno.

i am nowhere near a millionaire, i have to refinance just to make my trips here. if i ask a friend if he would like a drink, i would not then expect him to pay for it. maybe that's one reason i'm not rich ;-)

Dear friends!!!

 

My name is Angela. I am Russian. I am 25. I am a computer designer.

 

I am writing to ask you a very great favour.

 

Unfortunately, I stayed alone with two children in wink. My husband has abandoned me when the younger was only 4 month and older was one and half years old. And now it has not possible for me to get to work, because the children are so young. I have not  money to provide my children with enough foods and clothes.

 

So I sincerely hope you will be able to help me in this matter. I would be grateful if you will transfer at least $1  to my WebMoney account:  Z238212223296

I should consider it most kind if you would send this letter to any address and forums you know.

 

Please accept my sincere appreciation for your help.

No way! You guys all send her the money. Then next week I can be a  helpless female and you can send me money, and the week after that, and  the week after that....

The sad part is that there is somebody (or somebodies) that are considering this.

Ya just can't fix stupid! :D

LOL! What? I am 60 and good looking. Well almost 60 anyway. I do best with ladies in the 35 to 40 crowd. Beyond 40 is a bit too old for me although the last RW I dated was 43. I;m not so worried about things in life. I'm at the top of my game, as they say.

It's not so much that you get tired of money or beauty, it's that after a while you realize that neither creates happiness.

 How do you think those with the money keep the money? They do not give it away :D
 As for not being good looking, you can only blame your mother and father for that.
