I changed my gender on my Pandora account. After 4 years of being male they now think I'm female. There were too many match.com ads with many smiling faces of single white females. It grew distracting and annoying. The annoyance was because in the US, white people are the equivalent of Type O blood: everyone can accept Type O. The dozens of white faces don't represent the actual demographics of this country, nor, I assume, the membership of match.com. I understand match.com wants to drive traffic to their site, but the way they're doing it ticks me off. It's encouraging a pigmentocracy, which more responsible companies should try not to support.

Pretty much anything that your friends, dates and neighbors can see has a status angle. Air cons, fridges and LED TVs are all symbols of your rising status in the world.

Many young Thai men spend a quarter of their monthly income on a bottle of premium whisky to impress women passing their bar table.

A girl who has nothing still has her hair. Which is why many a poor girl will spend a quarter of her weekly income on shampoo and haircare products to make sure she's looking good at the dance at the weekend.
