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.

I didn't think I'd ever say this, but you should go back to just quoting other people's work.
