on a funny note, this circulated around the street today, apparently
a real post from craigs
Девушка спрашивает:
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 s ome 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 fo llowing 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. B y 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 mu st 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
