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-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.

幾年前還在美國工作時，朋友寄給我的網路上(紐約的 Craigslist)真實對話‧

英文太難閱讀，容我翻譯一下。
一個年輕漂亮的美國女孩，在美國一家大型網上論壇金融版上發表了這樣一個問題︰
「我怎樣才能嫁給有錢人？」
我下面要說的都是心裡話。
本人 25 歲，非常漂亮，是那種讓人驚艷的漂亮，談吐文雅，有品位，想嫁給年薪 50 萬美元的人。
你也許會說我貪心，但在紐約年薪 100 萬才算是中產，本人的要求其實不高。
這個版上有沒有年薪超過 50 萬的人？你們都結婚了嗎？
我想請教各位一個問題 —— 怎樣才能嫁給你們這樣的有錢人？
我約會過的人中，最有錢的年薪 25 萬，這似乎是我的上限。
要住進紐約中心公園以西的高尚住宅區，年薪 25 萬遠遠不夠。
我是來誠心誠意請教的。有幾個具體的問題︰
一、有錢的單身漢一般都在哪裡消磨時光？（請列出酒吧、飯店、健身房的名字和詳細地址。）
二、我應該把目標定在哪個年齡段？
三、為什麼有些富豪的妻子看起來相貌平平？我見過有些女孩，長相如同白開水，毫無吸引人的地方，但她們卻能 嫁入豪門。而單身酒吧裡那些迷死人的美女卻運氣不佳。
四、你們怎麼決定誰能做妻子，誰只能做女朋友？（我現在的目標是結婚。）

< 下面是一個華爾街金融家的回覆 >
親愛的波爾斯︰
我懷著極大的興趣看完了貴帖，相信不少女士也有跟你類似的疑問。
讓我以一個投資專家的身份，對你的處境做一分析。
我年薪超過 50 萬，符合你的擇偶標準，所以請相信我並不是在浪費大家的時間。
從生意人的角度來看，跟你結婚是個糟糕的經營決策，道理再明白不過，請聽我解釋。
拋開細枝末節，你所說的其實是一筆簡單的"財""貌"交易︰
甲方提供述人的外表，乙方出錢，公平交易，童叟無欺。
但是，這裡有個致命的問題，你的美貌會消逝，但我的錢卻不會無緣無故減少。
事實上，我的收入很可能會逐年遞增．而你不可能一年比一年漂亮。
因此，從經濟學的角度講，我是增值資產，你是貶值資產，不但貶值，而且是加速貶值！
你現在 25 歲，在未來的五年裡，你仍可以保持窈窕的身段，俏麗的容貌，雖然每年略有退步。
但美貌消逝的速度會越來越快，如果它是你僅有的資產，十年以後你的價值堪憂。
用華爾街術語說，每筆交易都有一個倉位，跟你交往屬於「交易倉位（Trading Position）」，
一旦價值下跌就要立即拋售，而不宜長期持有 —— 也就是你想要的婚姻。
聽起來很殘忍，但對一件會加速貶值的物資，明智的選擇是"租賃"，而不是購入。
年薪能超過 50 萬的人，當然都不是傻瓜，因此我們只會跟你交往，但不會跟你結婚。
所以我勸你不要苦苦尋找嫁給有錢人的秘方。
順便說一句，你倒可以想辦法把自己變成年薪 50 萬的人，這比碰到一個有錢的傻瓜的勝算要大。
希望我的回帖能對你有幫助。如果你對"租賃"感興趣，請跟我聯繫。

看到這文，我突然豁然開朗，
我對身旁的人一向很和藹，不論高矮帥醜，
當然，若有感覺不對的人追求我也會困擾，
但都會和氣的當朋友，有需要幫忙我做得到也會幫，
不利用人，但很樂意被「利用」（幫忙）。
後來，
我交了一個旁人稱羨的男友，
大家說帥、說體貼、說疼我，
很多女生問我是哪認識的？
她們找很久都遇不到！
我嘴巴上說：「緣份啦！」
但我後來想想，
因為妳們一看別人穿著普通就打槍了呀！
（眼裡只有潮男跟名牌哥）
妳們要年薪好幾百萬甚至上千萬留學歸國的我都介紹了，
結果呢？
嫌矮（要183才是高）、嫌不帥？
請妳吃飯連謝謝都不說，
吃完當做不認識？！
人家的體貼懂事好家教，妳們有來得及欣賞嗎？
高帥富的還要送禮苦追多時，低聲下氣等妳公主大人點頭才是誠意！
明明在家睡覺還要裝忙裝很多人約，
還跟我說：「要擺架子才有行情，男人犯賤！」
那些男生後來有些交的女友條件都很好，
溫柔、知性、能幹、聰明、氣質出眾，
而且男友都很疼愛！
當我們出遊照片PO在FB，
那些眼睛長在頭上的女生又跟我抱怨：「妳都成就別人當幸福貴婦，都沒有我！！！」
我真的是三條線耶！
巨大一妹的例子，
說明了 這確實是不難見到的 "現況"。
只是誠實一點罷了，對事不對人。
