There's so many directions to take this article... It's amusing any which way you look at it. To sum it up, this girl joined an online "dating" site in which wealthy men from around the world chat with you and then invite you on an exotic vacation with them... where they pay for everything. Sex isn't in the contract, but let's be honest...

This girl is the reason that sometimes I give up on females. She claims "I'll never go on old boring dinner dates again. This has ruined traditional dating for me." and "Guys back home can't offer me this kind of date." Yes, so if you can't afford to fly a floozy around the world and pay for a lavish vacation while more than likely doing it for the sex, then you don't deserve her!

I was laughing and amused for most of the article, but yeah there were a couple points I was just like "really... you're a horrible prostitute."

Enjoy and discuss =)

Somewhere in the craiglist universe:

The original personal:

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 response:

"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. "

Yeah I recall when that made the news =P. Another shining example of how much women really think we should be "equals."

If only AOS wasn't self-banned for now. He'd have a ball with this thread.

Who is more shallow, men or women in general?

It's probably overall even. That's the equality.

I'm still wondering why men have to pay $45 to get into clubs or whatever and women get in free (or a discounted or severely discounted rate).

I guarantee you if they charged black people or white people more, they'd end up on the wrong side of a lawsuit.

How does that apply to his black vs white example? lol

Guys - If you could get some CEO woman to pay to take you on an exotic vacation somewhere around the world, would you do it?

Me? I'd be looking behind me to see who she was really talking to.

On a serious note - absolutely not. Now, if she were to offer something tempting - like one of those obscenely over-paid positions on the board of directors...well, that might be a diff..no, still no.

Those intangible strings that attach - they are pretty gross and confining. I'd be miserable in the long run.

I want to see the world. So if some successful moderately attractive female wanted a boy toy for the week at some exotic resort half way around the world and was willing to pay for everything along the way... Yeah, count me in =P.

Just realized how many people Bruce Jenner pissed off when he changed his name. So I did a a baby name popularity search(Thank you Michael). That's a lot of people! He/she should of chose a unique diva name. Shame on him/her!
