She went on a first date and the thing that stood out the most as a positive is that he was willing to spend money on her?
Fuck that. Youre not hyping up the man, you're hyping up his wallet (on contributing to the ongoing commodification and transactional nature of relationships)
Wow, /relationship_advice much? They should get divorced, lawyer up and hit the gym.
I’m not installing twiXter to read the whole story. But let’s flip this - what if he paid with the expectation to get laid?
Still jumping on the “after his wallet” bandwagon?
Or, maybe, try this on for size: They’re both decent people, he surprise paid for the books as a very kind gesture without any expectations on either of their parts. And it would be a surprise to have someone do that, so maybe she makes a surprised comment about it?
Why would she never hype up a man? Sounds super sexist.
Brainwashed sexist dummies
hardback just says it's meant to last forever. Paperbacks just feel like they are for consumption and only survive a handful of reads
she found a winner in that dude
In my experience paperbacks get read more and shared more often because hardcovers tend to be expensive and have a pretty design
my comment sure was controversial? and I'm just happy people for passionate about a book, paperback or hardback. I'll take the hit. I'm more comfortable reading on a ereader that supports the dyslexia font, I'd eat through books if they had that option. I find I like some books more than others and the ones that are meaningful to me become a hunt for the hardback of it. I have a lot more paperbacks of course.
