I'm about to do something I haven't done since 1.0 just because it really needs to be done in this case:
Oh you're so right. Except the part you aren't.
Yes, I am, and here is why:
I had them all convinced that I was some big wig one even wanted t
rk out a deal with me to do networking activities for him.
It's called friendly banter. People that make millions of dollars do it with other millionaires (on a serious level) and with people who have no idea what all of the work truly means. Fact is, that guy that "wanted t
rkout a deal with you" probably knew within 10seconds of you opening your mouth that you knew nothing about anything that he really dealt with. You convincing yourself of anything other then that is what I'm going to refer to as a Cartmanism.
It's not the fact of the money you show or how much you bet it's how you hold and present yourself that is the key.
Money is everything to these people. They don't give a fuck how you carry yourself (outside of looking presentable to the public). All people with money care about, and if they're people that made it themselves it's more relevant, now follow me on this one: Money is everything. Your little $500 suit isn't even worth the lining of their pockets. Their $10,000 suit, that they bought cause it was a good morning, and the coffee was hot, shows that.
Not to mention when I go out of town I like to look nice so my image was that of someone with quite a bit of money and no cares in the world.
Bullshit. You have a Charmander sweat-shirt. "Swag" doesn't make you look like a rich person, it makes you look like a retard to anyone that has been around the block and is out of high school. If you aren't going everywhere in 3-piece multiple thousand dollar suit, you aren't shit to anyone that matters in the corporate world and actually makes REAL money. You can polish a piece of shit all you want, but its still a piece of shit. You can change the look, but the smell won't change and everyone knows what it really is.
They didn't see me as an outsider even talked about shit like they had known me in high school or something. Of course most of them were born into being rich and those were the ones that I had no interest in bothering with as they had nothing interesting to offer so I didn't care if they actually viewed me like I belonged their.
That solidifies your ignorance on the topic. Old money is money that is never going anywhere because it's had generations of proven investments that wont go sour, and has a proven record of winning. The people you're talking about are self made, yes, but that means zilch. New money, unless it has the backing of old money (oil, petroleum, steel, major companies) means, as I said before: nothing.
Also I think you guys are thinking way to much on "high-roller" around the casinos here high rollers are $100 min bets. Not like in Vegas where they have high roller tables for like 10K$ minimums and crap like that
This is further proving my point. High rollers that bet $100 either don't really have millions and are average business people at any rate or are shy about being filthy rich, which no self-respecting self made millionaire is
$500 isn't how much I took or bet at all. Nor have I stated what I was wearing or how much money I spent on what I wear. I'm a prideful man with quite a bit of money. I forgot this userbase is full of teens who haven't gotten life experience past their front door so to speak. I didn't even start this thread to be boastful or brag so I'm just going to not bother with any of that anymore.
Full of teens with no life experience? I'm a former United States Marine, a combat veteran, and partially disabled from service related issues. Take that life experience quip and shove it up your ass.
Also, no offense coffin I didn't mean exactly you when I said teens, no need to retaliate by telling me your older than that, have had ton of life experience, and smack me with your swelling e-peen
You have the balls to say anything to Coffin, one of the finest mods I have seen on this site? And I have been here for 6 years, so I have seen a LOT of mods come through this place.
What exactly what am I defending. Someone opinion of me over the Internet? I stopped caring about what people in the real world think, why bother with what people on the internet think. You either like me or you don't not my problem no need for waisted effort.
/defend
You obviously care since you are still posting this thread, instead of asking to have it closed.
tl;dr
You +losing $500 =/= cool You + losing $500 and making a thread pseudo-bragging about it = you being trolled for being a total douche-canoe.
