It's cheaper to punt than to have GF
Ok, this is just based on my own experience. I dated this lady for about a year - a typical materialistic HK lady who required high maintenance. We had about 4 or 5 overseas trips together. I bought her birthday gifts, valentine's gifts, romantic dinners on all special occasions, etc. Although she has a decent job with good pay, I insisted on paying for everything (I know I was a sucker but I felt it's a norm here). Out of my curiosity, the other day I pulled the old credit card records and tallied all the money I had spent on her. It was totaled around 100,000 HKD. That would roughly translate to about 200 good quality punts and I think I had sex with her less than that. Even if I factor in all the good times and laughs we had together, and the sex was really good, my conclusion still would be it's not a money well spent. I know this perspective is purely from cold hard cash angle. But 2 years after we broke up, this hard fact is what I have left to deal with.
Just curious to know if anyone has come to the same conclusion. | |
