    Yeah?? So what? The card comes out at the end of dinner, not the beginning. With the thinking you're goin' with, a Platinum card won't make up for the image you gave her during dinner.

      Yeah, the sort of chick who goes for guys based on their credit card, is exactly the sort of chick I'd be going after.

        Been there, done that! All you get are gold diggers. Not the sort you want. You'd be cheaper paying for a hooker.

        Actually the gold diggers are "working girls". :~ They just take their payments in installments. :wtf: It is always less expensive to pay up front for something than to get involved with installment plans. There are no hidden costs that way. :doh:

              Well, it's not the first time I have a credit card, so I know how do use them. The reason I applied the AmEx Gold Card is it will make me look good in restaurants. The Gold Card makes me look like a man, now I need a bimmer. :laugh:

                Unfortunately lots of girls are like this these days... you need to have at least something to impress a girl.

                You think this is new ? It's not.  *Wanting* a woman who will suck you dry, and spit you out, that's pretty new.

                  MBNA slowly upgraded my lowly college credit card to Platinum status. Unfortunately, as I use it only for online purchases I cannot use it to impress women. However, the credit limit is enough to by a beemer. (My balance however, remains at zero but they keep taunting me with 0% access checks)

                    Like a brain perhaps?

                    System.IO.Path.IsPathRooted() does not behave as I would expect
