$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Aimrehtopyh', 'Y')ou're dreaming of semi-clad nubile doomer females, and all the babes are hoping to see a picture of a peak oiler posing with a stack of cash or a solid gold toilet. The yin and yang of consumerism; you surrender your cash and she surrenders her flesh.
What a pity I can't take a more active part in crushing such dreams. The fact that reality does it for me lends credence to the notion of the existence of a higher power.
Relax, man, I was only being silly. I wasn't expecting such an earnest reply.
You don't have to tell me about women and materialism, I live in Hong Kong, probably the worst place in the world for anyone with anti-consumerist tendencies to find a mate. They're all mad for money and shopping over here. Women often ask how much money a man makes on the first date. Women often marry for money, and they don't even have the decency to lie about it and feign romantic interest.
But don't you think that somewhere in this great, wide world there's a nice clued-in girl complaining about how all the guys are total idiots drooling over Ferraris at a car show?
