I just dropped $217 on tickets to The Phantom of the Opera for my girlfriend'* birthday. May not seem like much, but consider the fact that I am a student and live on $250 a week (not including insurance and rent), so it takes a big chunk of change out of my wallet...

Ah well it'* all worth it I'm sure.

It'll work. Anything culture will work. I bought tickets to HSBC Stars on Ice for my girlfriend for her birthday.

Went to that same show in NY. They like getting all fancy and going to nice places. Going to an opera, symphony, etc every once in a while is nice, even if as a guy you poopoo it.

My wife would rather go to a monster truck jam or football game

but you're a lucky bastard

Oh don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to it, I LOVE the theater! It was just the price that made me balk, lol.

Although I still like races and monster trucks :P

You know what everyone says. It'* all worth it if you get some sex out of it without begging.

If it'* what she'* into she'll love it. And she'll love you because you pay attention to the things she likes and put thought into gifts. How much you shell out is mute

Again, budget. :P

But naw I know what you mean. I didn't hesitate in doing it, I was just getting some "god things are expensive" bitch time in.

we need some of that every now and then
