  That guy deserves 5 stars for this. Many women are messed up and will put up with the bad boys rather than the "nice guy" .

    This travesty happens all over the world as well as here as there are tons of single mothers in countries who went for the bad boy and were left alone to raise the child.  I've seen it happen when with friends in foreign countries(where you really get to see how the natives live) in small towns where the nice shy, decent  guy is not getting any play at all from the local girls.  The guy who is simple and tries to help out his mother and siblings,but doesn't wear flashy clothes and knows glib lines is ignored by the beautiful young girls. But  the Playboys with the flashy smile and the glib lines  have lots of woman  fighting for him.

   I sometimes think it's because women (wherever they live)are prone to drama,competition and want whatever other women want. This especially is true for very young ones. Latinas  of course learn sooner than the aging AW what a mistake they made. As their time line for getting a good man is very short.AW realize too late. By then their looks are gone and noone wants them.

For some of you more hip fellas that may have watched the The Pick-up Artist on VH1 you would have seen how the guys that get all the women work their system.  Sure they say they taught those "geeks" how to enjoy life more but, they taught them to pick up women and get from them what they want, and move on to the next one.  I would rather be a nice guy.

Hi... I'm new here; will introduce myself later.
In the meantime, talking of CraigsList, this was a very good exchange that recently attracted some attention, although the original has been removed from CL now.

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.

And someone's fantastic response:

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 record i'm certainly not a misogynist, I just thought this was a very articulate and interesting exchange, worthy of reposting.

caio.

Seriously, this is brilliant. And appreciating these ideas doesn't make one a misogynist. In fact, the response is based on gender equality at the "bargaining table". So, in a sense, the responder could actually be seen as a feminist.

She: blah, blah, $500,000, blah blah.............

He: I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know.

She: Hey! What kind of a girl do you think I am?

He: You've already established that quite clearly. Now we're simply negotiating the terms.

or another possibility, maybe Plain Jane living in the penthouse today actually loves the guy and may well have believed in him and stuck with him actually helped and comforted him since the days of pawing the tool box to make the rent.......just a thought, Ms Golddigger.
