Boyfriends


The way people are about your individual wealth here does make me think that women who lie about how much money they make or where they live are not incredibly paranoid for all the wrong reasons, but for the right ones. Seems like the first time I hear about new boyfriends or potential husbands, I'm getting their resume and potential dollar value, not if they are good people.

Me: I hear you have a boyfriend, tell me all about him *general girliness and giggles*
Friend: Well, he has a good job.
Me: How did you meet?
Friend: He works for an online company.
Me: does me make you laugh? Does he read the same books you do? Does he like the same music or movies or take an interest in meeting your family or have the same friends as you or does unexpected and romantic things?
Friend: He still lives with his parents and treats his mom very well. He puts his laundry outside his room for her to wash and she leaves him dinner on the table.
Me: ...is he cute?
Friend: not really.
