don't see anything wrong with that.

I choose the cheapest (or one of the cheapest) item of the menu too. doesn't mean I'm cheap. I'm  prudent, not stingy. I just cut the coat according to the cloth.

If you choose to also drive a Honda Accord instead of a Porsche and wear a fitbit instead of a Vacheron Constantin Overseas, you can be labeled as a prudent guy.

But to own those things and yet only order burger and sky juice is called getting your priorities all messed up.

I am not defending anyone here. I am just looking at it from a middle class person point of view..

In my opinion, RM460 is not that much. Since the guy is definitely a T20 as he is shown driving a Porsche and wearing VC Overseas. Just chalk it up to an experience.

$920 is equivalent to 3 hours workshop fees for his Porsche. And is around 15% of the price of the oil and filter change on his engine.

You could even look at it as the price for changing the crown on his Overseas during a routine servicing.

If the girls want to gold dig and request he pays $920, just do it and then message her “here’s your $920. Hope you enjoy it as a birthday present from me. Thank you for your company” And then immediately ghost her by blocking her number.

That would have been way classier. There probably won’t be any drama and he gets to keep his reputation as a ladies man.

$920 is just like a drop in the ocean for most rich people earning hundreds of thousands a month. Even 20k ktards would find it to be less than 5% of their total monthly income.

Just my two cents.

you have a point there

but u hav to understand that not every rich dude are waterfishes, being rich doenst mean u are obigled to belanja the girl rm920 to be "classy"

if u are rich and u dont mind being a waterfish and throw money like dat, then that is your problem. you cannot expect all rich dudes to follow what u do, the guy thinks that its not worth for him to spend 1k on the girl even though he can afford it, then its his choice, u cannot just expect him to just be an idiot and pay up and get over with it, he already steady enuf to pay rm460, and now they wan him to pay another 460 is clearly taking advantage n conning him ledi, and he dont want to be the waterfish is also his choice, not yours

being rich doenst mean u have to be a waterfish

Most that throw money are not the rich but kids or grandkids of the rich.

The rich man would never be a waterfish, they did not become rich for no reason.

The way I see it, being a waterfish is when you are taken advantage of continuously. He isn’t a water fish if he realize it on the first grift. Paying for the birthday girl is just part of being a gentleman.

Besides, it’s the girl’s birthday party. It’s not like they are there just to sucker him.

When you buy a Porsche, you are already throwing money into a pit. The rich themselves would never buy a Porsche as it is usually the kids or grandkids of the rich who will buy it.

Ello how can you compare the food nourishment content with it's price. Are you telling me an expensive meal of fish n chips is much healthier than a cheaper bowl of Caesar salad?

Sense of scale applies. Cheapest item on the menu priced at RM60 isn't the same as one priced at let's say RM3. RM60 cheapest item probably isn't full of starch and grease.

I usually order the weirdest sounding thing on the menu, price is irrelevant.

paying for someone else isnt a matter of being classy, but having the matter blow up publicly is definitely not classy. the amount doesnt matter.

If I'm alone or AA I eat expensive food. But if sharing I take cheapest to avoid raising the average cost per head.
