I was in the beauty supply store today and a couple walk in all hugged up.
They were looking at the packs of hair displayed and the dude starts talking to the owner asking for a discount???
....& he wanted her to guarantee the price for a year???
The chick didn't care, she just wanted him to pay for it. LOL
He wanted the owner to Guarantee the discounted hair price for a yr? No it wouldn't embarrass me as long as i get what I want. The richest people are the cheapest people.lol
He basically just said, "I am the one paying for this and I don't have the money for you to be going up on the prices for hair. Well not until my yearly pay increase"
I'm with ds, usually ninjas with the most "real" money are usually the cheapest motherfathers! They didn't get rich paying retail and not asking for discounts. I would be embarassed too but it would pass as soon as my hair got done LOL. That sounds like a REAL businessman right there and it is kind of sexy in a way.

I dated a lawyer that was like this but we got plenty of discounts and free stuff from him being this wa. I was initially embarassed I got over it quick. I learned a lot from him things that I use still. I don; have extra money to give away unnecessarily I can barter & negotiate with the best of them even in places where some would not dare negotiate.
I can pay for my own hair and small things like that I'mma need him to take care of big ticket items and not worry about the small stuff under 500.00..
Nahhh we would not be shopping for hair together.
Hell, let him barter with the weave wizard that charges 2 or 3 grand for a fly celebrity weave..not the lady at the chinese shop, noooo damn thanks.
I wouldn't be embarrassed because it's his money... and like the other ladies have said some of the wealthiest men didn't get that way from accepting everything thrown their way. My baller mixes high and low. He shops Target for Target appropriate things (towels, cleaning supplies, etc) so he can splurge on big ticket items (his SLs, his homes) so it balances out.
Plus, if he played his hand right, whenever she goes back to the beauty supply she wont be cheated into paying more.
:)
.....for now. Do yall really really think he's gonna stay retired? He has such an ego. Plus, I'm sure he still yearns for a championship and would like to be back on top where he once was. What happened? I remember when he was drafted. He was #1...
Men love the thrill of the chase (make the guy chase a little longer next time). Take it as a learning experience. He may be sincere or he may be telling you what you want to hear (false hope). Hopefully you'll come out on top the next time around...
