<p>I just posted about this...so true...I love fly girls, with nice curves and tight designer clothes...I spend so much money trying to maintain a relationship by proving I'm fun, classy, etc. and in the end when the fun's over I'm always left alone with a hole in my pocket.</p>
<p>I don't really understand this... it doesn't seem to me that girls really care that much about money when they're in college. I know that I don't... I mean yeah, we need to have money to go out every so once in a while, but I don't want my boyfriend to fund my lifestyle... that's what my parents are for.</p>
<p>Wutang- a piece of advice: you will not be able to maintain any sort of relationship by "proving" things. If you expressly feel the need to prove your worth to a girl, especially to the point of financial ruin, she's not the girl for you.</p>
<p>How fun someone is or how classy they are or whatever are not things which should be proven. Those are things that should be pretty apparent to anyone you're dating. If that person doesn't appreciate what you're offering, there's very little point in attempting to prove yourself. That sort of relationship maintenance is futile since there's clearly little basis for a relationship if you have to go out of your way to constantly impress the other person with money, etc. </p>
<p>and grim- yeah. I care much less about money than I do about drive. One's success does not have to be limited to money. It's more about his character and his desire to do things with his life that get my attention.</p>
<p>The only thing I've ever seen that costs $$$ is the high school prom. I went to a baseball game instead of prom (I was single anyway), spent $37 overall--for food (I had a ton of food and supposedly the prom food sucked), parking (used my own car, cheaper than a limo!), the ticket (a nice 3B line), and got treated to a fireworks show plus a few HRs in the process. Meanwhile, most of my friends spent close to $500. I had the money saved for prom, so I bought a laser printer with the money I saved (still has the original toner cartridge too...so much nicer than running out of ink every other week). I still had some left over after that. It got banked and actually is still there.</p>
<p>This year I was at the baseball game on the night of my alma mater's prom. There were a few kids who followed in my footsteps there. And they got the even cheaper seats, making it a better deal on their part.</p>
<p>The best way to spend an evening with your girl? Invite her over, make her dinner, and enjoy a nice night of hanging out, maybe watching a movie on your couch or something. Or just talk. Conversation is KEY in any sort of relationship. And if you actually talk to the girl enough, you will find that they are not evil money-sucking beings at all.</p>
<p>When it does come time to spend $$$ on a girl, make sure you get something NICE. Don't get a stupid teddy bear for her or something. Save up the money and give her something worthwile. (LCD TV?...haha, but you see what I mean)</p>
<p>(Girls: the same logic goes true for guys here. Don't get them something cheesy. Personally, I'd be really happy if I got something like drill bits or a new saw--something practical that I use often. And for either gender, a gift that makes a good gag at first but then is appreciated later on, believe it or not, is a printer cartridge...I've gotten them from family members back when I used an inkjet for Christmas, even Easter instead of candy...but they sure come in handy a few weeks later. My mom also bought me CD-RWs for Valentine's Day once.)</p>
<p>How can it be proven that girls=time+money? I had a girl a few months ago that I spent absolutely no time with or money on and I felt completely fulfilled as a person. I just saw her when I wanted to do what I wanted. Call me a pig but that is the life right there. No committments no strings attached no dinero. hah I love life....</p>
<p>Postulate 1: knowledge is power.
Postulate 2: time is money</p>
<p>As every good engineer knows, power = work/time
Substitute the two postulates, we have knowledge = work/money
Rearrange, we have money = work/knowledge
Therefore, as knowledge approaches 0, money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.</p>
<p>that doesn't make sense. you can't make an infinite amount of money with a little amount of work. They are directly proportional; the more work you do, the more money you get.</p>
