  1. I thought clothes were bad but my bike component buying got really out of hand this last year.  Something something resale value something useful but I wish bike stuff was as cheap as some of this lanvin crap

     

     

    Haha I totally get you. I used to be really into bikes, before I injured one of my wrists. I was a serious weight weenie (carbon fibre seat clamp serious) and I remember that in my final year I spent thousands building a bike I never even got to ride! I then sold that bike for something idiotic like half price. 

  2. For a long time I wondered how ghetto drug addicts could afford their drugs. Then I started buying nice clothes, and became an addict myself. The funny thing is that one starts buying $500 jeans for $150, and it's hard to stop. Pretty soon, I've spent $500, which is still $500 (i.e. a lot of money), regardless of what it actually paid for.

  3. Sorry, that wasn't my intention at all.  Just saying what I've learned... not sure what your game is like, or anything about you.  So that def was not my intention.  

     

    BUT, it is one thing to be able to meet someone like that; and another to be able to get someone like that.

     

    No worries! And again, your second point is very astute. I'm the quintessential Type A with decent, if limited game (I can't work total strangers). Historically, I've had more problems with moderating my own social expectations than living up to anyone else's, and with seeming accessible. The most recurring critique is that I am intimidating simply in my togetherness (or rather, in the assumed judgementality thereof). That is all to say that I would like to think that there is more to a relationship than a MacBeth-like rivalry, but that I think I can also satisfy the vicarious ambition of likeminded women.

    I've learned a few things whilst in sales.

     

    If people really wanted to, they'll make time for you.  No matter how busy they are. Same applies to life.

     

    Obviously they haven't prioritized you in their life as high as you have (prioritized) them in yours.

     

    If it's just one or two chicks out of a dozen, I'd say move on.

     

    If its been like that with every girl you've encountered lately, you may want to reevaluate your game.

    You make me sound so pathetic! Don't get me wrong, that's good advice, but I just meant that it would nice to meet someone who is sincere and ambitious. Type As are elusive.

  5. Does CP have some kind of repair program? I'm just wondering what to do when the soles are messed up.

     

    you buy a new pair or tape it up. These aint John Lobbs that you send to a shoe doctor lmao

    Depending on the kind of damage you've done, a good cobbler may be able to help you out, but headcoat is right in that you will never get the shoes to look perfect again. For example, the stitching to the sole rotted out on a really old pair of mine. The cobbler was able to reattach the sole, but without the original mould, it was impossible to get the seal as tight as on a new pair. So there were some wavy parts. If however, you have a hole, you are out of luck.
