Most amusing post I've ever seen. Oddly, I've met women who have the same "earnings parameters" for men they want to get serious with. I've actually heard them utter the exact income level they want to achieve......thru marriage, not effort. Will never forget the airline employee who lived in my apartment building a long time ago, and was lusting after the celebrities she encountered at the airport. She really liked Joe Biden back in the 1970s. She also had a fling with a personal friend/celebrity/football player whom I won't mention, and was only too ecstatic to call and say she had met him. She actually encouraged him to give me a call when he was in town doing Monday Night Football, because she knew I knew him. Too bad for her.....the celebrities had other plans than a one-night stand. She still lives in the nearby area and calls every now and then to "catch up"........she's still working for the airline, still single and never married. Gotta give some folks a round of applause for recognizing trouble when it first appears on their doorstep. <<gg>>

I thought this response was a classic.. we really do need a major crash in NYC to bring these 20 somethings back down to earth in a major way...wow..maybe Britney crashing and burning was a start..lol '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.'

Almost the exact opposite of the woman I married. It took me over 20 years of active searching to find her and I met a lot of women like that on the way. The easiest way to flush them away that I found is simple. When they ask what I do for a living I tell them I am a Janitor but out of work at the moment. Those type of women are gone in a heartbeat. Actually about 70% of woman aren't interested after that. My wife's response was much different but she WAS mad when I eventually told her my real net worth and occupation. She was mad because I had lied to her but she did understand and appreciate why I did it. Wish I had found her many years earlier but meeting all those superficial material women really allows me to appreciate her personality.
