among squatters, 250lbs affords literally zero status. it’s almost zero. if I were hanging out wiht squatters, i would be redfaced at my incredible weakness.
my watch is too cheap and ordinary to give me any real status. I need more. I’d like a watch that signals extreme perfection.
sure, it’s $4,000, and nobody would really know it wasn’t a $100 watch probably, but it just screams out to me that I am a superior status human.
i asked a friend about purse status. she says purses do indeed indicate status today. she says in the old days purses reflected personality, not status.
she says there is a website where you can rent purses to pretend to have status for an event. I would not be happy renting that watch. I have to possess it as mine.
my wife carries a hippie cloth purse witha peace sign on it. I think it’s from guatemala. I asked my friend what that meant. she says it means she is refusing to play.
I think it’s my kids that have been giving me the status feeling these holidays. I feel very reproductively successful.
