THIS APPEARED ON CRAIG'S LIST
What am I doing wrong?


Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful
(spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy.
I'm not from New York. I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at
least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind
that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't think
I'm overreaching at all.

Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could
you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around
200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't get
me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married
to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as
I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I
get to her level?

Here are my questions specifically:

- Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars,
restaurants, gyms

-What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won't hurt my
feelings

-Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 25)?

- Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper east
side so plain? I've seen really 'plain jane' boring types who have
nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I've seen drop dead
gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What's the story
there?

- Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment
banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they
hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out?

- How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for
MARRIAGE ONLY

Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest
way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I'm being up front
about it. I wouldn't be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't
able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a
nice home and hearth.

THE ANSWER
Dear Pers-431649184:
I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully
about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament.
Firstly, I'm not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your
bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here's how I
see it.

Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a
cr@ppy business deal. Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you
suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring
my money. Fine, simple. But here's the rub, your looks will fade and my
money will likely continue into perpetuity...in fact, it is very likely
that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't
be getting any more beautiful!

So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning
asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation
accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty
hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in
earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you!

So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy
and hold...hence the rub...marriage. It doesn't make good business sense
to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease. In case
you think I'm being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were
to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It's
as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.

Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So,
I wonder why a girl as "articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful"
as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to
believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K
hasn't found you, if not only for a tryout.

By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then
we wouldn't need to have this difficult conversation.

With all that said, I must say you're going about it the right way.
Classic "pump and dump."
I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of
lease, let me know.

a rich immigrant would probably be dumb enough to take her

mmm. wa7id masry 3ayez wayda sha3raha asfar we 3eineiha khadra.

and then they could do the not-without-my-daughter thing.

[MossadConspiracy]

no, he cant take her back to egypt because he already has a wife and kids there that she doesnt know about

[displaced]

so he'll hide her passport and she'll be trapped.

[MossadConspiracy]

then she'll have no choice but to go sleep with the ambassador

anyway i like how the arrogant jerk deflated her. Actually, i think he should re-examine the proposal because they are perfect for each other. Arrogant rich guy and gold-digging bimbo is a storybook pair

[psychoteddybear]

LOL!

[YOUSUFofSD]

Hilarious! She prolly has some wierd thing that she does that when men see, they scatter. Maybe one of those crazy annoying laughs that when you hear you just cringe.

[SaidAbdullahofDarfur]

Wow...

Talk about superficial...
Its amazing how people thing by admitting stuff makes it okay...

Tried that, doesn't work They always manage to pick the lock and run to the embassy.

Maybe I should try a disabled girl and wheelclamp her.

[MossadConspiracy]

if she has hands she can unclamp them

[GOTFIVEONIT]

i found something interesting that she wrote in the content of her story. she was comparing herself to other wives of very wealthy men. that competition right there fueled her greedyness. and i have a female freind, who told me about how all these girls she knows start bragging to each other over what thier man bought for them, how much he earns. its obvious that these women dont start off as gold diggers, but that other women, competeing with one another turns them into this greedyness.

I didnt find any arrogance in his post. While it is almost certain that her looks will fade, there is a high probability that his wealth will grow. There's nothing arrogant about saying that.
