Perhaps you didn't mean to imply that, but that's how it translates.

your sig line should be "more #1 friend rankings than anyone else!" (corrected to be grammatically correct of course)

Then I can change my to "dtb's #1 friend"

it's actually an electrical engineering term relating to rotating motors. maybe she is a electrical hobbyist?

You keep telling your son that when he chews you out at age 18 for all the psychological harm you've done with your underroos capers.

No I don't "truly" mean it but she was using arbitrary random things as "measures" of faux superiority on me --so i did the same--and to be honest to try to strive to be a good parent, a good employee a good spouse...those are all things I do consider to be of value and worth.

Apparently orgasms from giving head, I give her points for that.

But perhaps the better question is, other than DTB [dtb] do any of the women take the time to try to "get" me?

I have tried on some level to "get" you, as I do with most posters (unless they are obvious nuisance socks). So far what you have put out there is that you are a very looks-conscious, brand-conscious, materialistic, braggy (look at me! I'm smart!), over-compensating, large-racked, asian corporate paralegal (or is it "deal" paralegal, as opposed to those pesky rider-drafter practice areas) who is prone to calling people "ugly" or "divorced" or "single", which you seem to believe are forms of insults. And that you don't like female attorneys much.

Have I missed some indicator of substance along the way? Because I'd be happy to re-evaluate if I'm giving you a raw deal.

No, she was being sarcastic.

To their faces?

And she has a Pucci dress. I give her major points for that.

You forgot, most of my friends that are attys are male, I work for all men and that I am very popular at work. This morning, I took the train in with a senior senior partner who then very nicely hailed a cab for us he's very sweet. I also IRL have many female associate friends. And I consider myself again, to restate, a good employee, a good mom and a good wife.

I don't think anyone should get points for keeping their marriage together. That shit either works or it doesn't. If you have to "work" at it, you're just too stupid to realize you ought to get divorced and get on with your life (and try to meet someone you actually dig).

Re paying for an expensive lifestyle, you actually lose points for that. Pissing away major money to get status items is dumb. There's a difference between buying a good suit to get the brand and buying a good suit because it's well made. If you buy good shit, you wind up spending less over time because it lasts longer. But if you buy high end shit just to have Prada stamped on your ass, you're another fucking lemming moron buying into the idiot merry-go-round of our vacant, senseless, imbecillic "American Dream."

We're an idiot society today, and your posts offend a lot of people because they represent the most ignorant edge of that McSociety. People post here because they don't buy into the game; they sneer at it, but suck money from it. You're trumpetting the worst of its bad qualities. How don't you see that?

ETA: And I mean "ignorant" in its literal definition, as opposed to some campy misuse.
