Marrying for money

The major thing my wife and I have in common is we can't bullshit each other. I have wide and varied interests, my wife on the other hand is very select and few interests. When I talk to her about a particular subject, perhaps history, she'll usually respond "Why does anyone care about that?"

At this point I generally retreat and research some other worthless subject to attack her with later. ahahahaha

This has been going on for years.:D
 
Quote from 9999:

The article stated also that 71% of women expect to get a divorce. So, there you have it, guys: 3/4 of the female population are goldiggers.
"Nothing personal, honey; it's just business..."
:D
But the real question to me, is why such a high percentage. Is it because ladies are greedy, or because guys are dumb?

It's not so much that they're digging for gold (well, some of them are), my man, as it is that by the time you've done the falling in love thing for the 5th time, or the 7th time or the 10th time, I guess they're really just looking to get paid as part of the bargain ...

... and yes, ladies do want what they want, and the intelligence (or lack) of guys is in direct proportion with their ability to think with their big head, and not with the little one (however that works out for you :p ).

biologically, a love relation of about 3 years makes sense, because that´s the time it takes for a child to become somewhat less dependent, so the man and woman can have their options open again.

maybe if the man and woman decide they don´t want to look for other options, something nice can grow, but the strong "being in love" from the first 3 year will never come back in my opinion.

LOL, thanks for that. :)

Quote from jaronimo:

I think another reason is that many women feel they are not as valuable as men in this society because there really is a double standard here. They grow into adults that continue to think that and fear that a man may not love them, because they are not worthy.

Um, all the women I know most definitely know their value in the marketplace (there, I hope that wasn't too indelicate).
Quote from jaronimo:


I would guess there are not as many gold diggers out there as you may suspect. I think most women want a relationship where they will not have to struggle. Not one where they can marry a rich guy and then dump him for his money.

Um, all the women I know are really about themselves and what they want out of life, if it happens to be you, well then you are one lucky man. (Once again, not to harsh).

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.

For the first part...
Women in the less developed world are more direct as in:
"Sell yourself for the highest price".

And the 2nd part...
Women are like little computers crunching every piece of data about you...
And bouncing it off their friends.
They are FAR, FAR more calculating about relationships than men.

There is no need to be delicate...
About things where there are no rules...
Like love and war.

I recall from my youth how it was not looks but looks and class and charm but all three of those things plus sexual performance/skills that closed many a deal. Just showing up doesn't count. There are lots of things out there that only 5-10 percent of women will do, and when combined with classiness, good looks, intelligence, et-cetera, this complete package makes them able to snag anyone at any income level. Most of these gals don't want to get themselves dirty, though. I know I lived in Manhattan in the wild 80s, dated a bunch of them.
