This was a supposed exchange of sorts attributed to CL, urban legend or not it's very humorous especially if you're a guy.
Self-described 'spectacularly beautiful' woman posts an online personals ad bluntly stating her wish to pair off with a marriageable 'rich guy' in New York City. Wall Street banker responds.......
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 100 - 150. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 150,000 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.

Dear Pers-:
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.
old but funny

ok, so let me get this straight. will the woman who shoots her rapist turn into a sexual predator herself? how about the lion who mauls the zookeeper? is he in danger of becoming a zookeeper?
yah.
makes perfect sense to me.
what you stated has totally no relation to what I said
it had nothing to do with judgement or condemnation
gotta love the smart ass sarcasm that came with your post
well, that's your opinion
and you are entitled to itthank god for the ignore feature

This guy is great:
I love craigslist
I listed my car in it, I had about 50 responses that weekend and sold within 3 days for what I wanted. Probably 45 were douchebags that asked if I would take half. 4 people drove the car and tried to low ball me. One guy drove it and paid me cash right then.
If you list a car in our local paper, you get calls at 6 am and they don't stop for a week.
I had a leather sectional couch in the basement. If someone knocked on my door and asked me if I had a spare couch, they could have had it for free.
My wife listed it on craigslist and sold it for $300 the next day.
I did the same with a desk, I got $350 for that and would have given it away for free.

craigslist....
a place where the socially inept and homosexuals congregate

first this:
and then this:
is there a glaring ideological inconsistency here?
or maybe i'm just the fucked up one.

It's like a vaccine. boost their immune system. lol
Do you know this because you actively search it out?
Are you confused about your sexuality?
Does that cause you to be socially inept?
no, i think he was making a joke based off of old information. i think modern gays use stuff like gays dot kizzom or sites (i heard of) like mannhunnt where they can posts stuff like pictures and videos.
this is my educated guess based on my experience with pop culture over the last 40 odd years
edit: /no homo
lol
My daughter wanted to google "hairy bears" because of a line in a song I sing to her.
I didn't realize there was a whole gay subculture based on hairy bears.
Note to self: Turn on safe search when searching anything for a child.
Seriously, there are some things you can not unsee.
