This is so disturbing I thought it had to be AI.
Ai could dream up something this fucked.
you shouldve been like “wow you sound bad with money”
"hey I'm a huge dumbass and break shit I overpay for, how you doin'?"
What that tells me is he’s klutzy and careless with his personal possessions.
Me too honestly, but that's why all my possessions are cheap heh
My old roommate was like that. I gave him a mug and it broke a week later. His water bottle had dents all over it. His computer glass shattered and he blamed his kitten who weighed like 5-6 pounds at the time…. No chance.
I’ve never had a phone’s screen crack, and my water bottle I’ve had for years doesn't have a scratch on it. I found a pair of expensive sunglasses in the street (I got out of my car to get them!), cleaned them up, and used them for like a decade. I don’t understand not taking care of yer things.
Funniest way to deal with these guys is to remind them that they are nothing compared to the mega rich light bending guys
He was bragging about how his sunglasses cost $400 dollars, and how he told me that once he stepped on them, so he just bought another pair.
I guess he was trying to show off that he's rich? I just thought it seemed like a waste of money personally.
My side of CA was loaded with douchebags like that that had to tell you that they buy a new iphone every year and ask why you aren't vacationing in Europe to expand your horizons for at least two months out of the year. 
Paying $400 for a piece of glass with colour on it and copius amounts of marketing buzzwords is ludicrous.
Reminds me of a time long ago when a girl at the bar did the same thing to me with her handbag. She flashed the logo and twirled it around a bit and put it over her shoulder and did a little pose. It was nice, she was clearly very excited about her handbag. Might just have been me being young and horny, but I interpreted the situation like she expected me to be really impressed and maybe, you know, make a move on such a classy young lady like herself. Then she leaned in a bit as if to tell a secret, and I was getting fuckin ready to go, and she whispered "it cost 1400€ :P". It was like a flashbang went off in my mind, so all I managed to do was shout "1400 euros?!?! what the fuck is wrong with you!!!!", and she didn't like that. It was the first time that I can remember that I encountered that kind of luxury. 1400 was like almost twice of what I lived off in a month!
Oh man lmao
Some dudes get rich by neglecting becoming interesting in any other way
And some dudes were "raised" 
by such a guy
Dude has had at least $800!
"damn that's a waste, buying sunglasses when you don't even have eyes"
But... I do have eye- 
The sad thing is that's bound to work on someone.
It's two days worth of minimum wage pay in Australia, so it's not even a particularly impressive brag
You see these bad boys dirt_owl? 
£5 from Tesco. Hope ur impressed
"These aviators cost me an additional $5000 in a poker game because the reflection showed the whole table what my hand is every time. Yeah, I'm walking proof you don't need to be smart to be wealthy, please like me."
That’s exactly what he was doing. All it says to me is that he is wasteful with money and he may possibly have/had an inner ear infection.
I've had a guy online tell me that he's worth a few million. I don't doubt it either considering a lot of his daily life lines up with such a claim. I just kinda surprised him when I didn't seem impressed or care. We're still friends, but I really think he wants in my holes >.>
A lot of the men that I've met are really weird like that. They care way too much about money and status symbols. It's quite frankly a turn-off for me.
wow nice consumption pal
super conspicuous bro
I spent 4000$ on a life sized Tifa "figurine"
Please love me
It's just so sad. I feel bad for them. I mean I'm never going out with guys but like it's just such a 2003 "i read a how to date book by the worst person on earth" move.
"Ok, you have money, but what use are you? Is this it, the most impressive display you can muster to show off? I'd honestly prefer 90 minutes of unhinged rambling about Cicero. which I assume was your plan before the Temu brand Andrew Tate influencer told you to try this."
As general advice, if you want to pick up people of either gender, being able to vaguely pay the rent helps, but mostly people are looking for something that makes you fun to be around (most people can muster this up, even dumbass chuds), and a sign you actually care (or might come to care) about who they are. You can't fake that, you have to care about things.
Did you meet Johnny Cage from the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie?
"Only $400? Oh..."
