    Lets discuss this
    Just a little stupid random thing my best friends told me about once..


    Ok we start with

    Women costs both time and money

    So we have

    Women = Time * Money

    Since Time = Money

    Women = money^2

    And since money is the ROOT of all problems...
    And since the square ROOT of anything is that thing to the power of 0.5

    We have

    Women = Problems^0.5 * Problmes^0.5

    Therefore Women = Problems

    Discuss and ladies no offense intended...

    Well, that is your boyfriend's opinion and also his problem. I'm sorry that he feels that way. I know that not all guys think that way about women. I also know that a lot of women would cherish having a relationship with someone who is frugal with the money that he has. There are many, many things that people can do together that cost nothing or very little.

    I hope that I interpreted "bff" correctly as meaning boyfriend. If not, then I apologize. I'm not really good with using the current "chat" abbreviations.

    That is my opinion anyway. Hopefully, others will add theirs.

    Oh, by the way, I do agree that having a relationship with someone is going to cost time. Having relationships takes maintenance. Part of that maintenance involves time. And, who wouldn't want to spend time, if they want a relationship to flourish.

    I am sure that your boyfriend is generalising..
    As for me, when I married my husband, he is saving more money because of me as I am not high maintenance, but the type who would buy things out of neccessity and for practical purposes. Don't take me wrong I do spend on things that I want, but he saves more than when he was alone as he isn't so careful about spending as I am.

    He has learnt from me on saving and not throwing away money without a thought, and having a kid also changes ones outlook, now we save for her future too.

    Time is whole different issue,
    Anything worthwhile has to be a sacrifice on one's time.

    Aaah, I've seen this one before, its one of those jokes that circulates round the net a lot.
    Its sort of like the "why did they name hurricanes after women" joke.
    Its funny I guess, but all relationships cost time and potentially money, and all relationships cause problems.

    Women=Time*Money, sure, I don't waste time and work hard to make all the money,that's how I interpret it. Ur boyfriend is generalizing all women's behavior, appereantly he is not completely grown up yet.
    Tell him don't under estimate women's capabilty and values, not all women are like that!

    I don't see a point to discuss about this topic at all.
