TBH, most of you should count yourselves lucky if you can at least have the consolation prize of being able to endlessly complain that someone wants to be your friend.

Diamonds are intrinsically worthless. Intelligent women want gold. https://68.media.tumblr.com/85ce0d33b30cefb662f08333bef6b388/tumblr_omb2x9bqln1uwrgdlo1_500.gif

No, intelligent women realize gold has no such value other than what we give to it just as with most things, explaining how the "cash 4 gold" business stays up by basically recycling gold sold to them and reselling it at a higher price. Were gold truly worth something, its value would not be so interchangeable with little to no difference between each unit.

Food has different quality but is still necessary. Water does as well. The only reason they're ever priced differently is because of quality differences. Computers are a similar fashion, so are tools and likewise. But take two shovels that are identical in quality side by side and the price probably isn't going to differ because you're paying for the function. No, an intelligent woman would want something that isn't just meant to sit there and look pretty.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, no. Obviously we decide what is valuable and what isn't, but the reason Gold is valuable is by no means arbitrary. Gold is valuable for a myriad of reasons. It's rare(but not too rare), non reactive, pretty, and useful in a number of applications(same for silver). Gold has been used as currency by virtually every civilization for thousands of years. It's value is also extremely stable since so little of it is able to be mined every year.

"cash 4 gold" speaks nothing of the value of gold... The gold is only "worth less" when you sell it to "cash4gold" because you're incompetent. They are buying the gold from you at less than market value and then selling it for market value, simple as that. You don't know how(or don't care 90% of the time) to sell gold for its true value so you go to them and take what they give you. It's a pawn shop style business model.

I don't use cash 4 gold, it was an example of a business staying afloat through the fluidity of its product's value.

Incorrect. Gold's most notable function is as a casing for other conductors which it ranks far behind - copper and silver. It's two most notable aspects are its bio-compatibility and lack of tarnishing.

As far as it being pretty, I prefer silver, so that's already subjective. Its medical uses are sparse at best, its quickly being replaced by new and improved technological advances that don't require a non-renewable resource to maintain in much of its industrial usage, and as far as rarity goes, sickle cell anemia is particularly rare but not too rare, but it's not exactly a trait you'd brag about.

A better go-to would be the platinum metals, or palladium, which are starting to oust gold due to our technological advances. They share many of the same traits with an increased quality, small or large, the only downside being they're not quite so malleable (though again, current technology renders that significantly less an issue).

By the by, gold's value as a currency or commodity is vastly higher in nations lacking a free-flow of information/Internet connectivity, if that correlation says anything about the view.

Also by the way, to address your statement of it being a stable and good standard of currency:

So I thank you for declaring women backwards and likened to pre-civilized days. Makes my job easier.

Er, that is my job of disproving your point. Not calling women stupid. The latter would defeat the purpose.

What a word salad. Are you trying to make a point here? You said gold value is arbitrary and i argued it wasn't. Whether it functions better or worse than some other thing in some application is irrelevant(though i don't think you have a clue what you're talking about in that regard either way). The point is that it IS used in numerous applications outside of currency which gives it value.

What was i supposed to get from that link exactly? Gold value in relation to dollars?! lol Sorry, but i'm not gonna explain why gold fluctuates in relation to currencies. There are plenty of resources online that you can read about fiat currencies and how they work(or don't IMO).

So I thank you for declaring women backwards and likened to pre-civilized days. Makes my job easier.

No idea where you got this shit from. I never said anything about women being "backwards".

Er, that is my job of disproving your point.

If that were true you should be fired, but feel free to strawman and misquote me some more.

Money is a measurement of value. The point is that the value fluctuates significantly and will always do so depending on supply and demand. The value of it by the given amount is what manufacturers were paying to acquire a troy ounce of gold which they were then using in the methods you suggested. Therefore, even in practical use its value is arbitrary and measured only by its necessity (or current lack thereof). You are veritably wrong on all accounts here.

No idea where you got this shit from. I never said anything about women being "backwards".

Hang on, let's make some connections:

Diamonds are intrinsically worthless. Intelligent women want gold.

You.

Gold has been used as currency by virtually every civilization for thousands of years.

Also you. Then I explained that gold is less valued and completely negated as a currency in more developed countries, and you flip-flopped your point as if your statement beforehand never happened. Basically what you said before was an intelligent woman would prefer a material with relatively minimal usage to other substances becaaaaaause:

It's rare(but not too rare), non reactive, pretty, and useful in a number of applications(same for silver).

Those two reasons have no real application outside of its superficial value. The other two reasons I already explained are things that other metals do equally well if not better now. Therefore, you were making the point that intelligent women are attached to something for reasons in direct correlation to underdeveloped countries' frame of thought.

If that were true you should be fired, but feel free to strawman and misquote me some more.

Misquote? Please, don't get quite so uppity because you're having trouble connecting the dots.

######i won't be replying to it tho

######I wouldn't ask you to continue a battle you're losing.

######By the way, to prove your original point even more wrong, diamonds have a multitude of industrial and mechanical uses, making them intrinsically valuable still.

Diamond drills anyone?

Barcid1 votes

Also scratch-proof windows, domes, and covers, as well as microbearings and various other things. Diamond is as hard as gemstones get, making it amazingly effective, but it's also one of few gemstones we both know how to create and can easily reproduce, meaning there's not quite so limited a supply so they'll always be there for use.

She can use that gold to buy herself a nice pair of swifty boots. Or maybe a pretty Ring crafted by Doran. Diamonds aren't used as currency though, so diamonds are practically useless.

I'd prefer she bought a item 2049 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

gold only has value as a currency. it cant be used for anything for the most part due to it's lack of reaction and is relatively rare. so we use it to trade for what we really want. which is bronze and copper for bullets and electrical wires. a nation built on gold only will fall.

Women tend to be more caring than men usually. I guess that's why they usually hang out with the challenged.

Bronzie here, and I am happily married.

Though I suspect my low elo may very well be due to my wife and all this so called "family time" she wants to do such as going to this place called "outside" where it is humid and nasty and this big ball in the sky hurts my eyes when I look in its general direction. She also insists I "play" with these 2 furry four legged animals that love to drop a ball near me and then chase after it when I throw it only to bring it right back! Such silly animals! Why would anyone want to keep them around!?

Disregard women acquire elo boys.

Really though, I love my wife and my dogs and I wouldn't trade them for anything. Not even Elo.

No really, I wouldn't trade them for elo. Now get me a full on catgirl harem and we can start negotiations, but mere elo isn't going to cut it.

Why do girls like high elo players so much?

Because "fear of commitment" is an already disproven excuse just by escaping low elo. ;p
