In no particular order.....

1. To the person who said that fringey was a not hot guy, I'll have you know that I .... look, this is hard for me to admit, but, I ..... I have had depositions with her. She is lovely. And quite a deponent, too, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.

2. To the person who said that you should look at a guy's shoes, car, phrasing, etc. when deciding if he has dough whilest out at a bar. Watch out. You could end up with a mortgaged-to-the-hilt married loser like me.

3. To boldn'brazen: Sensitive guys needed sex in college, too, you know. I now know that you were the minx who had me snort a line of blow from her decolletage (with nothing more than that for me other than then "allowing [me] to worship at the Temple of Aphrodite," which was nice, I admit, just not, um, fulfilling) three days before boinking the guy from the rugby team on the hood of my Mazda Miata. (The dent never came out -- of the hood or my heart. Sniff.)

4. To Displaced Texan: it just can't be the same without Pa Cartwright.

Confuckingcur. If I want money, I go out and make it myself. What I find attractive has more to do with whether a guy is nice, interesting and how likely it is that he will be hot in the sack.

And a wacked sense of humor brings a guy up a point or two.

Flinty is big time chick bait. He's my new favorite.

You pay $2-400 once and you get five years out of the fuckers, so they're hardly indicative of being successful. Good shoes are in fact indicative of being wise and thrifty, because if you buy right, you buy once, whereas buying cheap means buying more often at increased cost. Maybe that's the allure of good shoes - they show stability and forethought.

As to belt matching, unless you're a fuckin retard, you match your goddamn belt and shoes. this is a huge pain in the ass if you're slightly colorblind like me. I have a closet full of belts I can't wear because they don't match properly.
Perhaps I wasn't clear. It's not whether you bothered to match the shoes and the belt, it's whether you cared enough to pay $100 for one or not in the first place.

You are absolutely right about paying up front for a nice pair of shoes being thrifty, but be honest - did you have a pair of Ferragamos when you were 21? Or did the thought of paying $400 for shoes instead of drugs strike you as stupid? I'm willing to bet that you didn't buy your first pair of $400 shoes until you stopped drinking beer for breakfast. It's not all about the $$ per se, but a man who wears nice shoes (and has them polished and doesn't walk the heels off and doesn't have tattered laces) will typically have come to a realization that money spent properly isn't stupid. I'm still not being clear - just think about yourself. If I saw you in a bar with your Guccis, I wouldn't necessarily say anything, but I would give you the time of day waay before I would waste my time talking to a guy who wore some ratty old adidas.

I'm just saying - this is how the girls talk (the ones I know anyway). If you don't think a girl notices when a guy has walked the heels off his shoes, or walked the hem off his pants, think again.

Using BB's criteria I was just promoting my favorite athletes. While the Lax boys win in the social category, I still think soccer players make better lovers. Don't forget, lacrosse players run around for 60 minutes holding on to a stick. True, soccer players can't use their hands to touch the ball, but they are creative with what they do and can get away with. Goalies have great hands.

Stamina is overrated. Timing is everything.

If that's where you read it, then it was probably accompanied by a doctored graphic of Calvin pissing on [your chosen symbol to denigrate here].

My avatar, of course, is an unauthorized homage to Hobbes and to Maxwell audio products. Like Calvin's activities on the back of pickup trucks across America, this image is not licensed by Bill Watterson either. However, it is an indicia of taste and of good breeding, like nice shoes.

No. It was a Sunday strip that involved Calvin and Hobbes walking through a forest in the autumn.

I may be misremembering what nasty thing he had to say about people, though. It may have been "I hate people."

In other words - if you want to get lucky don't buy shoes at Payless (or at whatever chain of discount shoe stores happens to be in your area).

No doubt. But if you're going to look at it that way, lacrosse players will probably check you with their stick, soccer players will spend their time using nothing but their feet and basketball players will waste your time dribbling before dunking it into the hole. Maybe they should stick to swimmers who are all about the breast stroke and lapping.

I think you need to insert "with NFH, [name of other poster with money obsession], [name of another person with money obession], [name of still another person with money obsession], [repeat as necessary] or [name of a person with money obsession]" between "get lucky" and "don't buy."

You are a cheeky punster, but in my experience you are quite right about swimmers.

I could have married a lax player, but he had an unbelievably hairy back and I didn't want to do that to my future sons. (It's a foul truth I speak.)

Oddly enough, almost all the male swimmers I knew were either gay or socially stunted. Very few were people I'd want to hang out with outside of practice and meets. I stopped swimming competitively in college. At my school swimming was the true social geek sport.

This reminds me of the guy who runs down Wilshire Blvd. ever New Year's Day in a speedo and racing flats. Geek.

In the winter it's much better to get a flashy coloured speed skating suit to run in. Pisses the competition off far more than a speedo does.

This whole thing started with who gets more action in a bar - rich guys or hot rocker dudes. Then it was, well how can you tell if a guy has money? I'm not saying that I would pick money guy over rocker dude for a 1 nighter, but if you're going to have a conversation beyond - dude how stoned did you get last night, you're (I'm) going to have a conversation with the guy that appears to have interests outside of the bong.

I'm not saying all guys with money have good taste or that all guys with good taste have money. Im just saying that guys who took the time to look good, go out and buy and nice pair of shoes probably cares more about other things.
