Guys, when was the last time you realized you were ”just a wallet”?

That sounds like a hell bummer date.

When I was single and in my 30’s I would bribe women to go out with me by offering to take them to plays and fancy restaurants. I knew that they were not interested in me. But I didn’t care as long as she was having a good time then so was I. And there was always a chance that something lasting might come from it but nothing ever did. I met the woman that I married at a track workout at San Francisco State Uni. and I asked her to go have a pizza with me. HA!

Why else would my wife have married me?

Perhaps you should widen your targeted audience with this question. Last relationship I was in, it turned out that I was the wallet. There’s no reason to assume that this applies to a specific gender.

Never been a problem. And it wasn’t a matter of my great sophistication. It was more the realization on the part of of predators that I barely had a wallet.

Never. It’s all about setting expectations and rules from the beginning.

I’ve never been ”just a wallet”! Either I was too po’ for that designation, or it didn’t matter.

That might have been coming, but since I asked a question leaning toward women, to be Fluther PC I had to balance it out with one for the guys less people think I only try to beat up on women.

Isn’t it harder for the woman to be ”the wallet”? Some guys (maybe many) don’t care if she is as poor as three church mice so long as they can get to the horizontal mambo.

@Hypocrisy_Central “Isn’t it harder for the woman to be ”the wallet”? Some guys (maybe many) don’t care if she is as poor as three church mice so long as they can get to the horizontal mambo.”

Perhaps, instead of obsessing over ‘Fluther PC’, you could have just a) asked the original question of both genders, or b) just asked the same question but targeted at the different genders if you wanted to get distinct answers. Why the change from ‘girl’ to ‘wallet’ instead of ‘boy’, if you were truly trying to be PC? Seems much more likely you were trying to get people annoyed, which you certainly accomplished.

@BhacSsylan Seems much more likely you were trying to get people annoyed, which you certainly accomplished.
I don’t have to try anything, just the mere fact I ask something near a dozen people get annoyed or pissed. No matter what I ask or how I ask it (short of what to name a cactus) someone will not like it. But to give them less to be annoyed about, I try to be even….since the perception is I am not. :)

I wonder how many notes in a typical wallet where once wedged up a stripper’s arse crack.

I’ll give you a tip on what to give a girl like that as a gift. Buy a small saucer… Not the teacup… Just the saucer. Wrap it up really nice and put a big bow on it. Be there when she opens it. When she doesn’t know what to say when she sees it, just tell her that it made you think of her when you saw it and you just knew she’d appreciate something shallow.

^ Ha ha ha ha…. I just had to lurve that…..ha ha ha

@Hypocrisy_Central “Isn’t it harder for the woman to be ”the wallet”? ”

Because why?

@dappled_leaves Because why?
I suppose she could, but she doesn’t need to be. If a guy hangs around it will be more because she is hot, not how deep her coin purse is. If she has long dough, that is a boon but it will not attract him to her just because she makes upper 6 figure income or more. Some con men, it would matter because they are solely into it for the cash, they could care less for the sex.

“If she has long dough, that is a boon but it will not attract him…”

English, please. Long dough? Boon?

^ Long dough: a grip, fat bank account, skrill, feta, cheddar, mo’ money than Bubba Gump Shrimp.

Boon: blessing, gain, advantage, godsend, etc.

I found the slang easy to comprehend in context.

@jca Congratulations. :)

I figured “long dough” meant wealthy even though I’ve never heard anyone say that, but “boon” means something totally different in the south and I’d never heard it in that context. Excuse my ignorance.

The word “boon” is not slang. @Hypocrisy_Central gave the correct definition. It has fallen out of popular use, so it’s not surprising that some people might not recognize it, but the OP used it correctly in context.

@livelaughlove21 […but “boon” means something totally different in the south..]
Being in the South you might have unwittingly mistaken it for coon? ~~~

THANK YOU, at least some people can call it as it is when that is the way it is. :-D

@Hypocrisy_Central No, I had to search for “boon” in urban dictionary to see it can be used as a derogatory term for black people. I was referring to terms like “boonies” and “boondocks.”

^ I was referring to terms like “boonies” and “boondocks.”
:People from there use to be slighted as “hicks”.

Here they’re just rednecks. I haven’t heard the term “hick” since I lived up north. Must be a Yankee thang.
