me too. but I like finer things now. Not that I am a baller by any means, far from it actually. but I dont like dicking with figuring out exactly who owes what when we go out to dinner, just toss in more than you think you should and call it a day. if the girl gets a big tip, maybe more than she deserves who cares. I hate nickle and dimers when I go out. I dont care for “cheap” beer or drinks… I like to enjoy a craft beverage, experience more in life you know. So its a few 10$ beers or $15 drinks a night, instead of 20 happy hour specials slammed to get drunk in an hour. I also have a short fuse for deadbeats and disrespectful people. So if someone bumps into me or my wife at a bar, and doesnt say sorry, or worse yet acts like a dick about it, shit goes off quick I guess. If some tool hits on Steff, or my other none single girl friends, and they kindly tell them I am not single, or I am not interested, and it keeps going to the point that I am told about it, again, I dont stand for that shit. I guess I demand more respect from people the older and wiser i get. I dont look for confrontations, not at all, but I feel the need to deal with them if they come to me. I am out to enjoy my time and the company of others who feel the same way… if you dont fit into that gtfo when you are kindly asked to.
Edit, re reading that, dont think it wasn’t directed to you. More so i meant i agree. I like to go out too, but like you said, in a respectfull and upstanding way showing people you have your shit in order.
