depreciation
win: lookit me eyebags!!
guy: well, you're still ok. some girls in school have already started depreciating.
win: WHAT?!
guy: yknow... they look good in Year 1, then they start wearing t-shirt and shorts in Year 2, then in Year 3 they look like aunties and dont even bother to comb their hair.
____________
gee, i didnt know the guys in sch evaluate us girls in such mathematical (econs?) terms. i feel like fish being inspected for freshness.
am i still fresh then?! ack.. boggles the mind indeed.
speaking of depreciation, women make much better financial purchases than men do, contrary to popular belief.
men buy, let's see... hmm.. IT gadgets. now we all know these toys are only about as 'fresh' as the monthly men's magazine eh. when newer snazzier versions come out in a few months time you cant even re-sell them at sim lim for half the retail price you bought it for. men also buy cars. now seriously cars starts depreciating the very second you get hold of the keys..
women! now see, we buy diamonds. ever heard of the song 'diamonds are forever'? value doesnt drop, baby, they are investments for life! ;)
