Damn women are easy to figure out Options

Didn't see this one coming from a mile away.

I go to this local bar all the time cause I know damn near everyone who goes there. Unlike near every other guy who goes there, I don't go there looking to hook up, although it happens every once in awhile. And I've always avoided dating the girls who worked there, mainly because I was never "bar guy" and gossip around there spreads like goddamned wildfire. I ended up dating one for a little while and we're still good friends. Main point is I go up there to talk business and sports with friends and kick it with a few waitresses and bartenders I'm good friends with.

I ended up telling the owner about all the gambling winnings because we've talked about some business ventures in the past and now the startup capital might be available. I also told a waitress, who's one of my best friends and knows more about me than anyone there; And a few more of my close friends up there. I was never bragging to anyone about actually being rich, other than being proud that a huge gamble and hundreds of hours of research paid off and gave me one helluva stepping stone to future success. I don't give a shit about money and I can't stand when people judge others for what they have or don't have.

Sure enough, word got out. By the 3rd day or so I was the most popular guy at the bar. I wonder why. Girls who I never talked to other than making small talk suddenly think we're good friends. People tell me about all kinds of parties. Girls keep saying "I never knew how cool you were"

Dumb. Fucks.

It's an interesting psychological study on friendship and how shallow people are, though. It'll be interesting to see who still tries to flock around me when they realize they ain't getting a fucking cent of my hard earned money. I don't use money to impress girls and have zero tolerance for girls who are impressed by it. People who know me know this and the whole situation is hilarious to us. There's a reason I never talked to you until last week, honey. And it isn't because I'm shy. In fact it's just the opposite, and you ain't intelligent enough to figure out that I don't associate with people like you. Women.

I know someone who makes good money playing poker in Vegas, if it works well Will do it, I'd keep your mom's company for a backup.

Some girls don't care too much about money, I call them engineers.

Why care about money when you make bucket-loads of it yourself? That having been said, it's still really nice being an engineer dating another engineer. Similar interests AND incomes.

I would never date anyone in the same field as me. There would always be an inherent sense of competition and there would be too much alikeness that is almost creepy.

Well, I'm a mechanical engineer and he's CS. I am currently working primarily as a programmer at work, but my boyfriend and I do very different work. We are a like in a lot of ways, though, and I like that.
