Over drinks this week with some friends, we notice a beautiful woman walk in and head for the bar. She orders a martini, and places her gorgeous Prada bag on the counter. I suggest that one of the men in our group, go buy her a drink. Right away the men snicker, and make a few comments. They refer to her as materialistic and high maintenance. Why? Why such judgement because she carried herself well and looked expensive?
To me it seemed these men were threatened by her shiny accessories. Almost as if they saw price tags hanging from them. Maybe they felt she was out of their league. Whatever the case, I guess I'll never know, they surely won't tell me the real reason, because they know I'll blog it.
I don't feel that she was high maintenance because she was carrying an expensive bag. Chances are she bought it herself. Why did these men assume that she is after money?
When a person spends their hard earned money to buy all that makes them happy, may that be Chanel bags or Jimmy Choos or maybe just Starbucks coffee instead of Dunkin Donuts (because Starbucks really does taste better), these preferences do not make someone materialistic or high maintenance.
Being able to provide for oneself means independence. If I know that I prefer the nicer things, then I will work harder if need be to get what I want.
So lets ease up on the judgement of others everyone. These fellows might have just missed out on a wonderful woman because they were intimidated by her thousand dollar bag... foolish.
Don't be afraid to approach a beautiful woman or attractive man and strike up a conversation. We are supposed to look our best when out and about especially if you are single. So please do give compliments when people do it well. Don't judge a book by its cover as they say, because a simple compliment can lead you to a whole new misadventure.
Thanks for following Marisa's Misadventures*
