This was an ad on the New York page of Craigslist. It has gotten tons of
media attention:

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.

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.

ANOTHER ANSWER:

Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a rich (very rich) 30 year
old man. I'm articulate and classy. I'm not from New York. I'm looking to
get married to a girl who is stunningly beautiful. I know how that sounds,
but keep in mind that merely attractive is just average in New York City, so
I don't think I'm overreaching at all.

Are there any girls who are stunning or better on this board? Any sugar
daddies? Could you send me some tips? I dated a couple of chicks who were
pretty fit. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. Pretty fit won't get
me envious glances on Madison Avenue. I know an investment banker at my
racquetball club who was married to a lingerie model and lives in Tribeca,
and he's not as rich as I am, nor is he as sharp. So what is he doing right?
How do I get to his level?

Here are my questions specifically:

- Where do you single stunning women hang out? Give me specifics- bars,
restaurants, gyms

- What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest girls, you won't hurt my
feelings

-Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 30)?

- Why are some of the men living with belting women on the upper east side
so damn poor? I've seen really cheap types who have nothing to offer married
to incredibly beautiful girls. I've seen drop these really rich guys with
fat girls in restaurants. What's the story there?

- Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - model, dancer, personal
trainer. And where do they hang out? Where do the strippers hang out?

- How you decide marriage vs. just a sugar daddy? I am looking for MARRIAGE
ONLY

Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest way.
Most rich men are perverts; at least I'm being up front about it. I wouldn't
be searching for these kind of girls if I wasn't able to match them - in
purchasing power, culture, sophistication, and buying a nice home and
hearth.

MY ADVICE:

Dear Pers-431649184:

I also came across your posting with great interest. I am a 28 year old Wall
Street trader who qualifies as an eligible suitor under your $500k/yr rule.
In fact, I make over a million and can usher a woman into a comfortable,
true middle class lifestyle (not like those 500k lower-middle class chumps
who have to make do with the junior two-bedroom).

I am sympathetic to your goal in finding a rich man to marry. The milk needs
to be sold by the expiration date. But since this is premium milk, why would
you settle for less than premium prices? I would like to address some of the
questions that were previously missed by the other gentleman and provide
constructive advice on where to find your match.

I also do believe in the efficient market theory, and am surprised that
$500k hasn't found you yet. There are plenty of rich lawyers, investment
bankers and hedgies to go around in this city. What gives? I think the
problem might be that you have not been sufficiently focused in your search
efforts.

The culprit, I believe, may be that you are also looking for qualities aside
from money - such as looks, personality, and a sense of humor. However, men
who have those qualities learn at an early age that they do not need money
to attract quality women. As the saying goes, if you can get the milk for
free, why pay up for the cow?

What you need to look for is someone who is long money, and short the other
aspects. They are not easy to spot, since you are biologically wired to
overlook and ignore them. However, the next time that you are at a expensive
black tie event, and you are introduced to the short, bald, overweight man
who fidgets nervously whilst making conversation with you, pay special
attention to him.

Here's an inspirational story for you. An acquaintance of mine who was also
an classy and articulate woman as yourself was able to land that guy - who
also happens to be one of the top ten guys at Google. This is the type of
stuff that gold-digging moms read to their gold-digging daughters at
bedtime. Perhaps you need to make a location change to Silicon Valley -
miracles like these happen almost everyday in a land where you can randomly
throw a rock and hit a rich nerd squarely in his Kim-jong Il glasses.

And as far as his deficiencies go, they turned out to be not so bad. With
hundreds of millions in the bank, she's been able to clean him up and give
him a little sophistication. Think of it as a fixer-upper project with a
massive budget (and yourself as a visionary real estate developer!).
Although, I must warn you, it is a fine line you are flirting with - you
must not overdo it lest he begins to attract younger women who are hotter
than yourself. The trick is, you need build him up enough to be presentable,
while simultaneously manipulate him into believing you are the best that he
will ever do! That, botox and having kids will be your insurance against
your depreciation (or as I prefer to use the term, milk going sour).

I wish the best of luck on your sales project. As for me, I am also
available for a short-term lease. However, for marriage I wouldn't consider
a woman unless she can bring beauty, brains and self-motivation to the
table. I do not want to dilute my gene pool and end up raising a bunch of
Paris Hiltons.

Bulam türkçe anekdot.
Türkiýede bir jurnalisti sud edipdirler(aýdyşlaryna görä, bu bolan waka). Ony käbir "ulanmaly däl sözleri" ulanýandygy üçin suda beripdirler.
Olam sudda şu anekdody aýdypdyr:
1. Türkçe wersiýasy
Bir köyden hastanin birisini şehire doktora götürmüşler. Doktor bakmiş we ilaç yazmiş, "anüsten verilecektir" diye de bashka bir kagida yazmish.
Hastayi koye getirmishler. Hasta acilar ichinde oldugu ichin, ilaci vermeyi karar vermishler. Ama koyde "anusun" ne oldugunu bilen yokmush.
-Hadi birimiz doktor beyi arayip soralim!
-Aman, yanindayken sorsaydik. Kizar shimdi...
Telefon etmishler, doktora ulashmishlar. Doktor durumu anlamish
-Makattan vereceksiniz
-Tamam doktor bey, teshekkur ederiz!
Telefonla gorushen koyluden herkes sormush
-Ne yapacakmishiz?
-Makattan verecekmishiz!
-Tamam, ama "makat" ne?
Gene bilen yokmush. Doktora gene bir defa telefon etmeyi karar vermishler. Birisi
-Ama bu kez hakikaten kizar!
demish.
Aramishlar, konushmushlar. Doktor
-Gotten vereceksiniz
demish. Onunla konushan telefonu koymush ve diger koylulere
-Bak dedik ya kizacak diye!
demish :D
Bu fikrayi anlattiktan sonra gazeteci shunu demish "bizim koyde gote "got" denir" :D
