Well part of me hopes you're just pissing with us and going with the flow, but the thread keeps rolling in part because you keep feeding the fire with those glorious posts of yours :)

Man, these two posts are all kinds of win. The :) at the ends seals it.

And Dastardly Jerks, aka Dstrdl, is an international NHL-GAF treasure. I can't imagine him ever actually being really mad. Especially not about Tabris.

"I'm not mad, I'm actually laughing" is the most overused internet trope. The micro aggression in actually having to point out how much you're laughing is in itself being as aggressive as you say you aren't.

Oxn did it on behalf of Tabris, so now I'm just making fun of them.

But why cant I laugh? Non of this is directed towards me, so its not like im actually hurt and trying to pass off that its not bothering me.

I flew to Paris for a weekend earlier this year, for me it was just to go see a show and to do some shopping, basically a normal once-a-month weekend. There was an elderly couple in the suites next to me on the plane, basically they saved for the last fifteen years just do to this one in a lifetime trip. They were so happy to be upgraded to first class and it was the unbelievable thing to be living that.

It made me depressed. For me, it was nearly a boring weekeend, to them, it was the goal of their lives. I haven't travelled internationally since. Trying to enjoy a low profile, "boring" life is now my goal.

I can totally see your point of view. Any lifestyle can become boring.
 
I applaud Tabris. For giving me the insight of someone's life that I'm sure many people strive to have. But the light showed me...wait...oh. Confused and daze I turned to take my seat. Here I sat, life contemplated of its true meaning. Only to stare down with no answers but with one phrase. Fuck my life.

I applaud Tabris for not conforming to the social construct. Enjoy life! Going out and having fun and excitement is what life is about. Sure it looks plain on paper, but when you're out living, it feels good.
 
There are people that are just boring in this world. I know a lot of interesting parents though, OP's claim is a bit ridiculous because i know so many parents that arent boring that are artists, designers, entertainers, doctors, public servants, bar owners, DJs, dancers, writers, etc.

Being a parent doesnt make you interesting but it also doesnt make you boring.

Its hard to judge people online but OP doesnt come across as creative or interesting. He talks about being spontaneous but goes to all these restaurants that are in movies or already have a reputation. He's not a "tastemaker" or exploring in any sense and so his criticism of parents as being uninteresting is laughable.
 
It's amazing just how boring Tabris manages to make even the most exciting things sound. Also basically everything he has posted relates back to either food or alcohol (or buying expensive things). From the the trips I've made I feel like those things are low on the list of things I remember (though food around the world can be amazing and interesting). Eating at expensive restaurants, getting drunk and living in a nice condo doesn't make someone's life exciting. For all this supposedly amazing life style none of his stories are remotely interesting.

I actually think this is an interesting discussion btw. Some people in relationships and with kids do become stuck in a rut and devote their lives to that and nothing else. I know people like that and it quite often leads to problems later on. It's not some intrinsic thing to being a parent though, most parents live happy lives even if it isn't quite on the fast lane that Tabris expects.

This thread isn't an actual attempt to discuss this issue though. It's literally just a brag thread of someone trying to make their own lives look amazing whilst looking down on others. It's literally structured in a way so that the people responding will ask 'what makes you not boring' so he can talk about his amazing life.

The most pathetic thing though has to be the people defending him and calling everyone else salty parents. Lots of the people deriding him aren't parents (I'm not). You don't need to be to see the narcissism and sheer lack of empathy on display. Not to mention calling people salty has to be one of the most empty posts you can make.

You can laugh all you want, I try to enjoy myself whatever I'm doing including replying to troll threads. The point is that it's unnecessary to actually post that. We're all just having fun. Pointing out that you're just sitting back laughing and everyone else is super salty in itself is being aggressive and mad. That's the irony, people constantly posting about others being salty whilst they're just laughing when in reality they're the ones being mad and aggressive.

If you're actually sitting back and just enjoying yourself you wouldn't need to point it out.

Actually i was saying thats what Tabris was actually doing in my first post, but then when i was questioned about, i said yea include me in it too. Should i not have?

How? It's another thread about a person who talks to GAF and gives statements but won't listen to the other side. He's an arrogant man who thinks he's above others. Y'all are feeding him and this is his Friday wank as his girlfriend spends his cash.

Meh i have no bad words to say about him, personally i do think i'd be totally bored with him and he would probably have a vacuous personality, all style no substance, but who knows. I'm not that invested in him and that first impression is enough for me not to care. But i do find it all very meta, there's like some sort of cyclical relationship between Tabris and the forum, and this thread's like the consummation of all that in a single place. People jumping over each other trying to pin point what and who Tabris is, as if in some way he could be as easy to delineate as Bate The Man.

And, you know, like the movie itself, this won't change anything.

I don't think some of you get the point, or are deflecting.

These are people that had these same kind of interests, and now don't do much and don't have much to talk about anymore after becoming new parents.

I don't know why it took however many pages of this thread I read, but I see now why ask if your friends are 'boring' if they talk to you they have to listen to you try to gloat about how great your life is. They probably come of as boring so you will stop trying to impress them with your amazing life, I know some people that I occasionally do that to.

I keep waiting for one of my friends to grow up, still talk to him once in awhile, just got really tired of his 'boring' stories. He will spend plenty of time talking about going to clubs and getting with women 10 years younger than him, stuff I just don't care about.

Sounds like you do some cool stuff, hope you're are having fun.
 
As a person who's very well off, the way you describe things just irks me. You make me want to donate all my money and commit to my non-profit work more than I ever have. You remind me of my workmates, a bunch of guys who are also wealthy and talk about the shit they eat and bought. Its so damn soulless. I cringe whenever I have to attend work functions in all those "social elite" clubs and lounges around the city, where people are fake and bland as all fuck.

For whatever reason I imagine that as you. I hope I'm wrong.

People insult him because he doesn't want to attempt to understand the other side. He comes off arrogant, insecure, and annoying. He's the new driver who says, "look at my audi" a billion times and when people tell him to grow up he keeps saying, "look at my audi, why are you mad? why you deflecting? Why you not fun and hip?" Every one who's conversed with the guy knows this was a wasted attempt as noted in the Vancouver Community Thread (or any thread he starts). At best you can only be as annoying and constantly regurgitate the same non-sense until it makes sense just like he did. Either way no one wins except him because either (1) this is his true personality and he really doesn't seem to understand people think he's a tool or (2) he's a great troll. In short, he's an annoying child who can't help but constantly say or allude to how better and right he is and no one likes him for that... which is why he dates young women and pays for every thing.

Tabris is one of those people whom lacks the self-awareness to understand that the cool part about doing lots of stuff and experiencing things is not telling anyone about it. It can help make you a more well-rounded person and you only bring that stuff up if you have done it and someone asks you about it. Going around and telling people about all the stuff you do and how lame they are for not doing the same stuff you do completely ruins any chance you have of being someone that is interesting to talk to.

The most interesting people in the world don't go around yelling look how cool I am, look at all this cool stuff I ate and look at how much money I can spend. The people who do that are incredibly insecure and require continual feedback to support their emotional state.

Truly wealthy/successful people don't go around flaunting their wealth and don't need the continual feedback that they are doing well. They are confident, but don't need to do flashy things to show it off. They are humble.

He sounds like the local bus driver that won the lottery and is out to spend every last dime.

I know some very wealthy people, too. Very few were like what you described... What kind of work do you do? If you don't mind telling.
 
I don't think Tabris is boring, he seems to have a lot of fun and you guys are being a bit harsh. I do find his lifestyle unsustainable, eating out so often and drinking like that would have me obese and broke
