Awesome NY Post Column Article 9

More NYC women are out-earning men and picking up the check on dates - NYPOST.com

This is a really funny article I stumbled upon (or actually my cousin Nate stumbled upon) in the New York Post last week. I love reading the NY Post because it makes me feel smart. They use words I understand and pictures to articulate points. If I really want to feel dumb I read, or attempt to read, The New Yorker. That magazine is ridiculous. No one can really understand those articles. I'm convinced when I see people reading that magazine on the subway they are actually reading cartoons or something under there.

Anyway, back to this article. Again, very funny article mostly because this is NOT true at all. And if it is true tell me where to meet these women. I guarantee if I bring a woman to Lavo, no way she's reaching for her purse. Heck, sometimes they don't even bring a purse. Went to a Yankees game two seasons ago against my lowly Orioles and the girl literally didn't bring a purse. When I met her at the game it's was the first thing I noticed, I mumbled to myself this is going to be a long night, and not because the Orioles are awful. Another time a few months ago I went to this BBQ joint, Southern Hospitality, near my old apartment on 77th street. It was probably around 2pm on a Tuesday and my friend Josh and I went to the bar for some lunch and to drink some bourbon. After about 5 minutes the girl sitting next to us leaned over to me and asked if I was going to buy her a drink or not? What? Its a weekday afternoon and were drinking bourbon, clearly we don't have jobs. Was she a hooker or something? If this happened right when I moved to New York I would have just been happy that she was even talking to me and probably would have paid for her whole lunch. This time, no way Jose. I turned to her and said, "I'll buy your beer sweetheart if you pay for my lunch". Josh started hysterically laughing and she made some rude comment about my hair. Whatever. This could come across as cheap on my part but I'm not cheap at all, actually I think I'm the complete opposite, but just "I'm retired at 28"!
