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-:

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
crappy 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.

nice reply


hmm, how she check that they've got 500,000$, does she have her own swipe card facility...

PMSL thats classic - I know a few girls like that

Absolutely brilliant reply from a guy who has obviously got his head screwed on

Very funny

ALL women are like that, not just a few. It's a natural instinct for women & the natural instinct for men is to be the provider.

The problem with what people preceive as being stereotypical is that we tend to forget that we have evolved into wearing suits and are ever so PC, yet we still have the natural survival instinct where the female needs to make herself look appealing, and the male chooses the woman with big tits because her breasts will help to make the offsprings strong.

I like that !!

Oh please! Hope that's a wind up.

Yes, I agree there are women like that and yes I also agree that basically we are animals and as such have a natural instinct to survive and reproduce and can and do carry out certain stereotypical behaviour at times. However to say that all women are like that is b******

How do you figure this? My OH has been supported by me for the past several years whilst he's been following his dream (although I don't see it as supporting him - we are a team) AND I have small tits.......

Got any pics, maybe the OH just tells you that theyre small

SO bad

How do ya pull a fella with those teeth ? At least he knows what he wont be asking of you

Haven't you seen the braces? You have to have vision............

Crikey, my eyes are really getting bad, I need bi focals.

Reminds me of my ex brother-in-law. he worked security at a hospital in st john's newfoundland and had many funny stories of patients and goings on.

One such event that I nearly peed myself hearing was about a teenaged couple of about 17 who were in the basement rec room of the girls house.
She was orally satisfying her boyfriend while her parents were upstairs.
Halfway through hsi foreskin became stuck in her braces and there was no way it would come out.
They had to get her parents to take them to the hospital with his thing stuck in her mouth

Not quite sure about that Luke, My wife of 30 years plus, was/is the stereotypical blond bombshell with the added bonus of Green instead of blue eyes, put it this way she measures up very well compared to her peers.... Thing is in our life together I reckon she would have earned at least 150 pct more than me, She's still probably got close to 1,000,000 bucks worth of income earning potential in her.

If your want to find anomalies in your assumption, look to the Health field, where caring seems to be the predominant driving force in the character.

How shallow am I.

I just go for the Big Tits !
