As our keyboard warrior friends on the local forums say ...

Why buy the cow when you can get milk at the store?

For the latter two, because conversations between the two of them are certain to be intellectually stimulating and sustainable, and relationships based solely on money have promise for a stable future.

Should be more worried about the former.

Just money? Maybe it's size?

Of the beer gut?

I think its the thickness.. Of the wallet.

Please lah, guys. It is the length.......................................... the length of time they have been together.

[Strong Eagle]

I am sure that they will be fully compatible... for example... me... intrigued by politics, inquisitive into the ways of the world, inventive... she... the incredible bar patron at Ipanema... absolutely knockout body to die for... and a vocabulary that goes something like, "I lub you lon tine." No reason they/we can't find common ground and explore our intellectual musings.

IIRC it was Sergei together with SMS who were saying less in common the better.

Dunno, maybe I saw too much in Pat Pong, Patong, Bataam, Phnom Penh, Manila and OT that this kind of thing just strikes me as sad and unappealing.

But a bar in Tokyo full of well-appointed OLs, now that seems to always work.....

[earthfriendly]

My fascination with words and how they are being used to convey just the right meaning and feeling led me to look up the term "well appointed". What does it mean when it is used to describe people? That they are well rounded? The complete package?

"Simple Definition of well–appointed
: having all the furniture, equipment, etc., that you need"

It meant they often have exquisite taste in grooming, clothes, makeup, femininity, appropriateness for the situation, behavior, and attitude
