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.

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.

I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of
lease, let me know.

the barriers of love

when you truly love someone, the question of how your actions have changed should be one that is fairly easy to answer. what would your answer be if you are asked, "what have you given the person you love that you've never given anyone else?" perhaps its some personal stories, experiences, or maybe even your virginity. most people say, "My heart." but what does that truly mean? heart is just another word for passion... but passion without action is dead. if your heart is a gift, shouldn't you open it? what good is an unopened gift? in the same manner, what good is giving a heart if your actions don't reflect your passion?

i think that's where the whole thing about being taken for granted comes into play. people get used to being treated one way or the other from their significant other. just as abused women consider it "normal" to be emotionally hurt, many pampered women consider it "normal" to be treated like royalty as well. we often times warn women in abusive relationships to get out of their cycle of abuse. they end up lowering their standards and become complacent with where they are. familiarity breeds contempt.

women and men are biologically different, and that comes with different perspectives and different means of communication. women were biologically designed to be nurturing and caring (pregnancy), so words of gratitude like "Thank you" and emotional expressions translate for them. However, men were biologically designed to procreate (sex), so physical expressions of gratitude tend to translate better for them. a "thank you" can have a huge emotion attached to it when women say it, but that emotion gets translated better with a hug or a kiss for a man. just as girls are turned off when guys just want sex, guys are also turned off when girls just "talk."

when communicating with people of different countries, obviously they're better understood when speaking in their language. likewise, men and women have different means of communication. when guys talk to girls, they should talk with a female perspective, and when girls talk to guys, they should converse with a male perspective.

if you truly love someone, why would you tell them you love them only by the means of the way YOU know how to? if you love a German, would you tell them I love you in Swahili?

love needs patience. with patience comes understanding. and with understanding comes communication.

don't be left out...
