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.

and then the reply:

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
senseto “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.

Sad thing is I know a couple of girls like that, one who actually tried to pull that off. She lived with the guy for 6 months until he cut off her “allowance”. Now shes with some other guy down in Miami, its only a matter of time till she comes back after he kicks her out.
