EPIC response to a Gold Digger

[AragornParticipant 277]

Craigslist is such a fun place to surf and save money. You can even get massively entertained in the Personals Section! No “Woman Seeking Man” post is funnier than the one you are about to read (originally posted circa 2007). It sums it all up. You might have read it before but since it´s a real classic and the response from the guy is absolutely hilarious, I thought it might be worth sharing.

THE AD

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, investmentbanker, 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.

Alright. Funny, right? Sick? Disgusting? Ridiculous? Hilarious? New York? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

This post received a number of responses. However, this one is worth reading.

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.

New York is a magical place.

Classic, I am seeing the sense of entitlement daily…

[Anonymous 42]

They are morally, ethically, and spiritually bankrupt!

You literally couldn’t pay me a million dollars to destroy myself with one of them.

They are , I know I sound like jive Bunny but weekly I am aghast at the sense of entitlement , I have heard a land whale say ‘ I won’t go out with him he does not own his own house ‘ not ‘ I never liked him ‘

The whale in question is the most unhappy women I know, I saw her as a pal for a while but had to cut her adrift as her view was cancerous and incredible, men are a resource to her no more no less.

She even tried to scrounge drinks and meals off me !!!

Feminism’s flag ship will be the extinction of the U.S.A.

Once women realize all the houses with their white picket fences have vanished with the neighborhoods that once stood them, and the fact they have to wear combat boots instead, all a leader has to do to win any war is convince these combat ready troops that the people responsible for the manly boots they’re wearing are the same people you’re pointing at.

You’ll be able to feel the rumble from China once they lock onto the chosen target…

I love the way he thinks!

Who in his own´s right mind would be willing to enter a lifetime “business relationship” with someone if the official success rate for such a venture is less than 50%?

One could also do this instead, odds are slightly higher:

Ashley Revell, 32, had sold everything he had – his house, his car and even his clothes. He placed all the money on Red at a Roulette table in the Plaza Hotel and Casino Las Vegas.
The British Sky-One broadcaster placed his $135,300 bet on Red. The wheel was spun and the ball came to rest on Red 7 – securing Revell a win of $270,600.

If you change the rules on what controls you, you will change the rules on what you can control

Here’s one my father told me a long time ago, don’t know where he heard it.

Man: “Will you sleep with me for one million dollars?”
Woman: “Sure!”
Man: “How about for a twenty?”
Woman: “What do you think I am, a cheap whore?”
Man: “We’ve already established that, we’re simply haggling over the price now…”

I found that massively entertaining! Good find.

Why do I have the funny feeling that our ‘combat ready’
women would just p~~~ their pants,drop their rifles and hit the dirt at the first shots that were fired at them?

Leaving us guys to finish the job,of course.

An oldie but a goodie.

Feminism isn't about equality with men, it's about leverage over men.

[KeymasterKeymaster]

This post is legendary and has made its rounds. Even Leykis talked about it on the radio.

“I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY!”

“No you’re not, ya dumb bitch. You’re looking for a high-earning sucker to DIVORCE.”

When they started using terms like “starter husband” back in the 90s, I paid close attention. Rather than planning on making marriage vows, I decided I would never be any woman’s “starter husband”. Back in ’05 I was watching TV with GF of 3 years and some “desperate housewife” said it (don’t remember the show). She was actually irritated by the fact that it bothered me just to hear that expression.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

When you cut through all the s~~~, it’s a financial arrangement. You will get less attractive and the man will get more attractive because of his money. Not a good deal.

That’s not even factoring in the fact that you can run away with half his s~~~ at any time if you get married. Unnecessary risk.

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

But she can never match their minds and achievement.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

[UintatheriumParticipant 1861]

Golddiggers are prostitutes in denial.

Many countries have made prostitution illegal because it “hurts women” or whatever. Instead, we have a more complex form of prostitution that hurts men because we don’t have the b~~~~ to call it prostitution.

If you give women control over your stuff the she will abuse that power. End of story. Don’t trust women. Bitches f~~~ing lie all the time.

“I like you for your personality.”
“I don’t care how rich a man is.”
“I haven’t had any sex with other guys.”
“Would I lie to you?”
“I’m totally on the pill. I swear!”
“I’m not like the other girls. I’m unique and special.”

Never give a woman anything unless you are prepared to never see it again. Remember that any contraceptive that you can’t see doesn’t exist.

MGTOW: because you can (and should) say anything about a woman as long as she isn't within earshot
