I love this.  [b]I have so many stories about dating a dude and then finding out he has an awkwardly large amount of money.  It's ludicrous.  And none of my east coast pals understand.  Must be a Texas private university thing.

For example, my boyfriend was often broke as hell.  He lived in an amazing house that he shard with a friend, and drove a range rover, and did tons of blow.  But quite often his credit cards would get declined when he went out to eat and I would end up paying, much to his chagrin.  He would always pay me back, but it was really awkward (because in Texas, it's standard for the guy to always pay) and kind of emasculating for him.  I always just figured he was kind of broke and he told me this whole story about how it was a really old range and I just assumed that his family wasn't wealthy and he lucked into a nice place to stay (maybe his roommate was wealthy and bought the house and let him live rent free? I never asked, but wondered) and he had somehow gotten a range.

ANyway, one day I was bored and decided to google stalk him, and looked his name up.

Welp, he was named after his grandfather, who is a billionaire and owns one of the most expensive (plane/yacht/home- I'm not specifying because I dont want this googleable by the DCUM sleuths) in the world.

It was such a weird feeling.  And such an "only at Texas private school" thing. Of course, most of his money was squandered on blow, but it's just funny.  Even the people you think are broke turn out to be loaded.[/quote]

Do you know this phrase, "humblebrag"?

I bet you are the friend your friends reluctantly invite along, because if they have to listen to one more story about the superiority of Texas...[/quote]

I really enjoyed her stories.  You sound bitter. [/quote]
