You should interpret my statement in the context of George's statement not your personal life.
Also regardless of your personal tastes, you should be familiar with sociobiology, Desmond Morris, etc. Peacock feathers, mammaries on humans, antlers, etc.
Actually, in that context I was specifically NOT referring to gold as a generic proxy for value, if you'll recall I was listing reasons was gold is particularly well suited to be a proxy for value. The point is that gold is something that falls into the category of sparkly things that women like. Women will sleep with you if you give them jewelry, even if they're not going to sell it. Umm, or so I've been told. Of course, men like the sparkly stuff also, but if wear lots of jewelry people are likely to think you're either gay or a pimp. Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that, but giving off misleading signals can lead to embarassment. George
