It is what it is. We proly all discriminate in our own ways when it comes to women. In my case, I don't care much about color or race. I discriminate butts, breast, and overall body shape. If I was single and a dude-like girl came to me, we proly would have to be friends w/o benefits.

This is unfortunately very true in Mexico as well IMO.

Hu. In Vietnam and Sydney I saw a lot of Asian women walking from shadow to shadow as if they were vampires but I didn't know this was a thing in Mexico. Interesting.

LOL! No, no. What I mean is for some folks in Mexico white > dark.

Consider I married a whitish girl, and first thing my short darky mom-side gramma does is congratulate me for improving on my race... Serious WTF moment.

(Mom-side gramma was a Super Hot wasp-wasted awesome-legged angel-faced short darky woman and my grampa was a tall white Mexican dude. Figures.)

Consider this an extension of the leaderboard thread.

Let's all make personal flowcharts of what we consider valid "upgrade paths". You can do it in Paint.

Make a flowchart for speakers next? I'm genuinely curious.

This thread has so much win...

It's not paintwerk, but my current path is shaping up like:

Nintendo Gameboy Earbuds (I was 12...) -> 1990s Sony Walkman Earbuds (got my first cassette Walkman at a pawn shop in high school) -> late-90s Nokia Craptacular Earbuds (my first cellphone) -> Denon AH-D950 (out of college, making some scratch, wanted decent sound, saw them in Best Buy and thought 'what the heck' ... also wooed by the 'oxygen-free copper' cable, my first) -> Senn HD650 (dropped $385 on a pair of headphones and thought I was insane) -> [spent many years and many thousands of dollars on loudspeaker listening solutions from Rotel/Paradigm/etc.] -> [pursuing the dream, founded my own Hi-Fi business] -> [heard the Abyss at CES2013 and decided they were the best headphones ever... but oh, what sticker shock!] -> Sony MDR Z7 (heard at RMAF 2014, fell in love, ordered as soon as I got home) -> Audioquest Nighthawk (heard at CES, very different tonality than the Z7s, but I want to give them a longer listen... waiting for my first pair to arrive later this week) -> [still hoping to get my ears in between a pair of HiFiMAN HE1000s in the not too distant future... the Abyss are truly an amazing feat, but if the HE1000s even half as good as what everyone is saying, I could probably die just as happily having owned a pair of them instead.] ;-)
