Explanation:
I once asked a guy who claimed that he likes me: why do you like me?
“You are rich and beautiful.”
He replied in a way as if these are the only things he cared about and no more.
I tried to hold back and not to laugh.
I wanted to laugh because I found his honesty very cute. This might be the real answer behind a great deal of relationships out there, but people often cover it up using lame reasons to justify themselves.
I have a mixed feelings of this answer.
I was gloomy that my inner strength isn't valued. How superficial and materialistic! I'm OK, financially, and in terms of appearance. I don't consider myself rich nor very beautiful. But seriously, there are tons of girls who are “rich and beautiful”, a lot of them are prettier and wealthier than I am, where is my uniqueness and my own value? And what made him think I'm nothing else?
But I wasn't furious. Think about the bright side, being rich and beautiful gives you advantage in life, and someone just think that I have some great advantage in life.
Like, people think you are rich and handsome!
I took it as a compliment anyway, glass- half- full is better than glass-half-empty.
And it's better than those often-heard answers.
In all seriousness- telling the truth is always the best. Knowing how both parties value each other saves a hell lot of time and problems.
