Are Laminate Kitchen Counter Tops a Deal Breaker for the Babes?

There are different grades of granite.
Classic
Semi-Exotic
Exotic
Rare.

Classic in the US is boring now.
Deal breaker? What? Are you trying to buy a woman?
Is this like a dowrey?

Back in the day a relationship was based on cooperation.

Granite is out with the gals. Now they want white 'carrera marble countertops' , but can be easily fooled by quartz, which looks identical but obviously cheaper.

Cabinet color has also changed from espresso a few years ago, now to white. Used to be white cabinets made you look like a cheapskate designer, but chicks want it all white now.

Back splash is also now white, subway tiles.

So, if you want to get laid as a single male, rip out those $10k granite countertops, and paint your espresso cabinets white, and don't forget the subway white tiles for the backs splash tile. You're also going to need a sunken white porcelain 'farm' sink, with copper faucets.

Good news for those stuck in the 70's who haven't upgraded their appliances is that avocado is now back in style, so keep your green oven and fridge!

You’re a libra aren’t you my dear - yahahahahhahah

Laminate countertops are for peasants, regardless of what country you are from.

Lol. Well theyre cheap for sure. They retain stains too, so for that part alone I dont like them.

For ease of cleaning I would go for granite, not for the purpose of looking cool. Who cares if you don't look cool. Fuck it. Lol

Yes, granite adds value to the property.
And there are some really interesting patterns and prints, going to a dealer is like going to a museum with all the different choices. Most come from South America.

Yes true. There are all kinds of prints these days, and I think you can opt for sealed granite to resist stains even better...and yes, they do increase the resale value of your home. I definitely agree with that.

Years ago, I used to be the kind of chick who would sit around watching HGTV all day. Lol. Thee days I've toned it down, and only watch when I have some free time.

The only problem I've had with granite is chipping, like dropping something really heavy. And there are fillers, guy comes out, sands it, fills it, like new again.

One counter I did was like tiger print with sparkles. Another was like something from the center of the earth with fossils. So cool.

I enjoy cooking.

Quartz is best for me. No laminate -- not tough enough.

No marble -- stains & etches too easy. Same for granite.

Quartz is impermeable, and does not react to acids.

Why are your countertops relevant in attracting what you define as "babes"?

Wood is best.

Oh I LOVE the tiger print one..similar tastes Miss Cleo!

Havent seen the fossil one, but you are bringing out my HGTV urge again here. Lol

White kitchens with granite tops are boring and so are the chicks that dig that!

I use cardboard.
No need to clean just cut a new piece and replace.

You could use plastic wrap on them so you can clean them.
Very affordable.
Do a wonderful job of holding things on top of them.

I would give Cardboard counters, six stars out of five, if I could.
Seven with plastic wrap on them.

Eight if you color pictures on them.

counter tops here in the Baltics are overwhelmingly NOT relevant in attracting women

people live frugally here, most out of necessity, but usually even more wealthy people

example cars - here in Estonia, for the most part, if your car is running and you maintain it, that is just fine - in USA the driver of a 4 year old 300 class Mercedes gets made fun of by the new 600 class owner - its just sooo silly to 'keep up with the Joneses'

the reason I was curious is that on my FB news feed, two USA clams that I knew in the 90s were having an absurd public (is anything private anymore) exchange about BACKSPLASHES for their GRANITE tops , and were trying to ONE UP each other

first world problems I guess
