Funny true story some of you may be familiar with.

THIS APPEARED ON CRAIG'S LIST - must read down to the reply...


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.

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial

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
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.

1. That bitch is delusional, a million a year is FAR from middle class in NYC. $100k would be a bit above average in non-ghetto Manhattan.

2. Bitch got fucking owned. How did she respond to that?

Yeah...this chick is LEGENDARY. The honesty was refreshing, but also the lack of awareness of what men really find important when picking a mate was amusing. Or that she expects guys in the income bracket she's targeting to be trolling Craigslist for a wife. I LOVE how dude broke it down in terms she could understand, and summing it all up by suggesting she actually WORK FOR IT, instead of trying to marry it.

This has been cycled through the internet before I can remember even using the internet. Didn't Tom Lykis talk about this same email back in 2003? Good to know nothing has changed in almost 10 years

Like Samseau said, this shit's been circulating the web for at least ten years.

I never get tired of reading this piece of pwnage gold whenever I encounter it on the internet. It's one of those things that I slowly learned during my pre-game days that men's sexual value increases as they grow older and gain more experience while the opposite is true for women.

I have read that before but i wonder if this happened for real.

Yeah Tom Leykis did a show where he read the whole ad. I'm having trouble finding it but I know it's on youtube.

All American women are like this to a certain degree, they're all entitled to a guy that is rich and/or famous.

Yeah, it's old. I remember reading it several years ago. I just figured it was worth sharing on the forum for those who may not have seen it. The note touches on so many issues that gets discussed on here.

This is ridiculous and portrays a good image of the mindset of the average North American woman. What a pity. One more reason to only use them as unit of pleasurese nothing else. Keep your romantic side for real women outside of NA.
