O poder de pagar a conta do jantar romântico

Tiozinho do acordeon depois que o casal desta crônica se retira.Trés-romantic

Era um jantar romântico, daqueles de sedução e conquista, ali no “La Tartine”, bistrô do bairro da Consolação, SP.

Tudo lindo. Tiozinho do acordeon mandando uma chanson. A moça fina, moderna e elegante como uma legítima paulistana, discorria sobre cinema.

O rapaz, uns 35 anos, gênero executivo, mais mudo do que o francês do filme “O Artista”.

Só notei que tinha voz quando veio a conta. O cara queria pagar tudo e ficou bravo porque a moça já havia ordenado a um dos garçons gêmeos que faturasse no seu cartão de crédito.

Phyna! E fez tudo na buena, sem exibicionismo.

No que lembrei, na mesa ao lado, de um velho conselho do guru P.J.O’Rourke, no livro “Etiqueta Moderna –finas maneiras para gente grossa”, tradução do jornalista Aran, editora. Conrad:

“Quando você vai ao encontro de um homem é perfeitamente aceitável que você deixe claro que trabalha mais duro, é mais bem sucedida e ganha muito mais do que ele.

Mas você deve levar em consideração que ele precisa manter algum respeito próprio. Devido a isso, não importa o quanto você ganhe, permita que ele pague todas as contas.”

Por favor, amiga, é o que nos resta de autoestima. Pelo menos nos primeiros encontros.

Depois, tudo bem, verás que a minha insolvência civil está decretada, que fiques à vontade para torrar esse farto cartão de crédito.

No começo, não, dai-nos, santas, esse último prazer do orgulho macho. Imploramos.

Na prática, este cronista envelhecido em barris de bálsamo, já testemunhou de tudo nessa matéria.

Machão que se sente ofendido quando a dama propõe a dividir, por exemplo.

Feminista dando escândalo porque o cara quis fazer bonito e pagou a conta sem que ele sequer fosse consultada.

Assim como vi também amigas queixosas de homens mãos-de-vaca, muquiranas, que propuseram o racha.

Caro guru P.J.O’Rourke, a sua proposta é bem decente e reflete a nossa inutilidade como machos contemporâneos. Não há, porém, um código de etiqueta fechado para o assunto.

Na dúvida, podem pedir também o veredito do ladrão, essa criatura tão invasiva hoje em dia nos românticos arrastões dos restaurantes paulistanos.

Junto com nossos generosos leitores, porém, devemos chegar ao bom senso para tal prática. Quem, e em que circunstância, paga a conta?

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit much more than just your thoughts? I mean, what you say is important and everything. But its got no punch, no pop! Maybe if you added a pic or two, a video? You can have such a far more powerful blog if you let folks SEE what youre talking about instead of just reading it.

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

    Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

  25. smokestik e cigarettes comentou em 25/07/12 at 11:04

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

    and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
