Do you recognize the two things she is testing you on in this one sentence?

She does not want the Kindle or any of that other shite. Her friends have the Ipad and she will too. And it better be the right model.

The other test is saying she wants an Ipad. How quickly you jump will gauge your love for her and your suitability to be with her.

Congrats on starting the never ending dance.

What if she got you a Taurus instead of that Sig you wanted?


Well, for starters she thinks those are both shite

She has an iPhone 6. I think this is just for when she's being lazy at home. Oh well. And I know she reads these so I'm avoiding answering certain questions.

The BJs are regular and the sex is better. Together for a while now, recently moved in together. Things are good. Future talk is happening.

There's a difference. You certainly can do more with an iPaid.

That said, I have the Kindle Fire and it works fine. I use it as a digital recipe book only... it doesn't leave the kitchen. Actually will soon have a permanent stand in there. I have a MacBook Pro and my smart phone for "playing on".

I will also say the size of the Kindle Fire is pretty small unless you get the bigger one (I've never seen this one IRL). I was kinda disappointed that it isn't THAT much bigger than my Galaxy S6.

Sorry bro, she's getting dicked down by a guy that's better looking and not as cheap as you.

If you're in the NOLA/Metairie area, I will have two iPad mini 2 for sale. My brother won them and he should be receiving them soon. I am new here but I have good feedback on bayou shooter.

How would you feel if you wanted a Yeti cooler and she just bought you a coleman?

If she wants a specific something, she can buy it. Jeez, people are so materialistic. Purses that cost more than $50? My purse is the credit card and ID on the back of my outdated i-Phone. And I make good money. Never understood the desire for "stuff". Maybe I am just a minimalist. I would rather go do something cool, like jump out of a plane.

i just bought a 3 month old mint condition ipad air 2 64gb for my mom for right under 300 off craiglist. i checked the serial before buying, but the lady selling appeared very trustworthy any ways. no issues. these things sometimes go for like 450-500 used elsewhere.

i am sure you could get a 16gb either ipad 4 or a mini for a great deal..

i thought about getting another tablet, but it's really what my mom is most comfortable with.. and getting the ipad to sync with your phone (since she has an iPhone) is pretty awesome.. can get all your messages and calls sent to it. she can facetime all her friends and whatnot.. much better than skype IMO.. i say get an iPad, just keep looking for a good deal..

Whatever you get her it will be worth it because they will play games and Facebook and all that other shite and leave you the hell alone. Buying mine a smart phone years ago and then a tablet recently was best thing ever. And she can carry it to the kitchen.

Edit. She's going to want the iPad though because it's more name brand sobshe can keep up with the Jones.

Does she have an IPhone?

Yes; Get her an IPad

No; Her her a droid tablet.

Yeah we are droid users so I got mine a droid tablet.

But if she's asking for iPad she probably has iPhone like the other sheep.

Your girl wants an iPad, and you immediately come to the OT and ask for a cheaper solution.

If she's not already banging someone else, she will be soon.

Help me understand why it is on you to buy.

She's a girlfriend, not a wife.

You want it, buy it, girl.

No way I'd buy a gf an iPad
