hehe I was watching a show last night about Korean Bar 'hosts' and 'hostesses'
One host was bragging about how he tells all these women that he loves them and they are the only one for him, then they buy him all this expensive stuff.
Man, some of those guys make serious coin, but pretty degrading work of course. |

I've had 2 decent chances at living the pampered life of a shutter man. However I opted out of both, not 100% sure why yet. I guess moneys not important to me in a woman.  |
