It's always tricky trying to defend the indefensible : )
No. I just didn’t feel much like playing ping-pong. But I’ll bite and tell you why I think this thread is sad.
The disgustingly sexist, racist and classist comments aside, this thread is essentially trashy, tabloidy, celebrity-worship. Posting pictures of wealthy geriatrics with their augmented wives/girlfriends/mistresses/callgirls is the male’s equivalent of discussing the dietary requirements of emaciated actresses.
Sad in what way? Discussion of the world's super wealthy or the fact that most wealthy guys have hot partners / mistresses younger than themselves?
If you read this board, forum or even this particular thread then making money holds some interest even if you don't post. But if you find it "sad" then don't read or whinge about it.. go to the whinge thread and vent there (i think it's in the coffee lounge). If you find capitalism sad then i suggest you registered on the wrong board because this one is about making money through property investment.
I'm now in the Philippines diving with whale sharks (amazing experience) and have come across many switched on beautiful young women here who i'd consider a relationship with. Lang Hancock married a Philippino at the height of his wealth/power which says something. His daughter Gina Rinehart is now the richest woman on the planet with 28 billion. Some say she's potentially the richest person on earth.
The guys posting on Somersoft like myself are regular guys trying to make our lives better through investing. It's unlikely any members here will become centa millionaires but most of us find it interesting to read about the super wealthy with more than US$100 million in assets (not including PPOR) and what they do with their wealth.
What a spectacularly obtuse non sequitur.
Because I’m not into debating the correlation between a woman’s dinner tab and her value as a trophy wife/girlfriend/mistress/callgirl I’m anti-capitalist?
And thank you for that fascinating tidbit about swimming with sharks. As they say, cool story, bro.
Also, thank you for explaining that you’re open to a relationship with a Filipina. I’ll sleep easier at night just knowing that.
I don’t know why you’re talking about Gina Rinehart. You say she’s potentially the richest person on Earth. I guess the real question is why aren’t you discussing her choice of husband/boyfriend/cabanaboy/gigolo? But we all know the answer to that.
Now feel free to accuse me of whinging.
