Interesting twist on "why can't I find someone" ....

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 nsults - 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.
