Anciety Rome + flowers

He's a god.

Rome wasn't actually monochromatic. The statues are white because the paint eroded.

I have literally never posted in this forum before.


In the 15 years I’ve been reading DCUM, I’ve never seen anyone use the phrase “gave me the ick” and all of a sudden twice in the past week someone posts that phrase about their date. Yeah, I’m not buying that you are only one of them.


I'm old, but still familiar with this phrase. It has been around at least a couple years now.

Basically "the ick" means when a woman finds a man unattractive, but doesn't want to call him ugly, so blames it on something else, often ridiculous reason, such as OP and the guys girly CC design.

"Red Flag" is also a synonym of "the ick", meaning same thing. "Eww this guy is (ugly, poor, short, skinny, fat, etc.) but it's not PC to say that, so I call him (creepy, weird, dumb, ignorant, girly, crazy, dangerous, etc.) to assuage my guilt of rejecting him."


Red Flag is not the same. Red Flag is a clear signal, like OP's obsessing over someone's card art.

It is a bizarrely ugly card though.

Is it a custom selection?

I'd ask what the motivation for the choice was. It would teach me about him.

I know this is very funny, and the OP doesn't seem to have any self awareness about it.

Take it from a middle aged married woman -- you need to be less judgemental if you want to be partnered up. I know so many women who had various quibbles with perfectly nice guys and got "the ick" and now they are 45 and single and going on elaborate vacations on their own.

If that's what you want, have fun!

NP. “The ick” is an increasingly popular term that childish adult women use. OP might be one of several embarrassing posters using it here.


It’s really embarrassing. She needs to stop.


It’s just slang. Try to keep up, nerds.

Maybe he ordered/chose this design. But maybe it looked better online.

I ordered a sort of generic charm for my necklace (4 being specific, 1 being sort of generic). I thought it was a circle-in-circle little doo-dad. It was .. a cowboy hat. Which is fine, but it’s not me if you know me. Lol.

Hah ha. Did Seinfeld have an episode about this topic.

The platinum card is a high end card. It has a large annual fee I think.

The OP is an idiot.

I guess you want the spiritual one?
It's a nice card.


I knew I recognized those flowers from somewhere. It's the Obama portrait artist.




OMG I always thought that was a meme but it's real!


Please take that as a sign to get more culturally educated

lol I think he was embarrassed for you because you didn’t realize it was an Amex Platinum. They don’t hand these out to everyone. The annual fee is $700.


That's just crazy. What is the advantage of that? Do you get more cash back or something? If so it's a push unless you use it a lot.
Many places don't like taking Amex either cause they have to pay higher fees as vendors.


Free hbo

Free airport lounges

Free lots of stuff and his work probably pays the fee.
