"Girl, did you see his shoes?!..."

[starfish]

A Sony Ericsson(?) model.

I'm way to old

and I'm probably the same age as you are so you know I'm shame noticing a man's phone like that.

I picked the third option. When I met Hubby, he wasn't driving the most recent car, wasn't wearing designer, but he wore quality clothes and took care of himself and was/is financially stable and independent. He has money, but he has money because he's a saver, tither and giver, has his crap together (retirement, 401(k), healthy savings account, has insurance on our car and health- not behind in our bills, etc., lol).
A lot of people-especially in our "GET IT NOW" mentality in the world- have all the designer fixings and are in up to their eyeballs in debt.
How many times have you all seen a man with a pair of the most expensive popular shoes, but he drives a hooptee and can't pay for his own lunch? Obviously his priorities are confused.

Money means alot to me cuz he needs to have what I have (credit, job, home, etc).

The outward manifestation of said money? Not so much. Unfortunately, I like eccentric quirky geeks so most of the time they are dressed CRAZY. Groomed and clean, but they just might have on a Members Only jacket from '83 or some MC Hammer pants.
(yes, I have dated men wearing those. They were both engineers and got PAID during the dot.com. One retired at 30)

Just last week I was out with some friends and this man in jeans and a slightly wrinkled polo shirt and sneakers started talking to me. None of my girlfriends would give him the time of day. Then he whipped out his phone and I SWOONED, it was one of those new Sony Ericsson models that you can't get in the states. Nice!

I'm such a techno geek that those are the kinds of things I notice. Don't get my number with a green screen non-color flip phone. That's just me....

We must be brain twins! Except I like guys that are nerdy.
I'm a such a nerd lover!! My hubby is a software developer and web designer and you can. not. find anyone geekier. I knew it was love when he was wearing glasses and nice clothes, but sort of...well, nerdy and wouldn't shut up about some new Linux development and his hatred for Windows.
I don't usually have a gripe about clothes, but I drew the line at his pocket protector- yes, I am serious.
But I loved how he really tried to convince me that pocket protectors were valid and he was just trying to make sure he got his money's worth for his shirt. Honey, that's what stain remover is for.

I love a neat well groomed man. It's so sexy to me! I usually don't go "Girl did you see his shoes...though" I'm usually like "Girl, did you see his job, his smile, his intellect?!" Intelligence turns me on

Means a lot. I don't see "character" and "bank account" from across the room.
When you first see a guy, his "good credit" does not introduce itself . Shoooo, It says a lot about his character for him to actually continue rocking 'run over' shoes. . . or step out unkept. . . or sport a loud suit and color'd gators

just sayin'

"did you see those shoes?!" is right

Ugh. I can't some some of these mardi gras lookin' a$$ men.
That ish is not cute and they usually look like a bucket of multi colored paint exploded.

On the same token of dressing nice. I can't stand guys who don't know jack about subtlety. Coogi sweaters are ugly and not subtle. Gators are ugly and not subtle. A high quality navy blue ralph lauren sweater. Now that's subtle and screams quality without screaming it. Know what I mean.

Too many of these dudes have me rollin' with all the fake jewelry. c'mon bro if your driving a honda do you really think we are buying that those door knocker "diamonds" in your ears are real or the blinged out cadillac medallion around your neck is real. Why men do this?
