Good point, akanska.

I agree, there is clearly a market governed by supply and demand out there. Something I stumbled upon couple of months back: From Long or Short Capital.com High-End Female Asset Analysis by Mr Juggles A journalist female asset asked us our opinion on “who, in the current financial climate, do you think is in the best position: the high-end wife, the high-end girlfriend or the high-end hooker?” as well as “their relative vulnerability is in relation to the vulnerability of the Wall Street honcho who might be their husband, boyfriend and/or client?” The following was the research report we created: Just to clarify, our definition of “High-end” means “extremely firm buttocks and/or thighs that do not touch while standing”. High-end Wife: Her position is weak because, frankly, she is a status driven nag. As Man’s ego falls commensurate with his portfolio’s value, Man will tire of her act and reallocate his assets towards strange to try and offset his ego loss. The High-end Wife is likely to adopt a simultaneous “flight to quality” strategy or, in layman’s terms, “pull a Jackie O”. But she lacks the understanding of markets to know that this is a GLOBAL financial and, soon-to-be, economic crisis, so her Aristole will really be a Raffaello. The availability of cheap, made-to-order Eastern European High-end Wives, further puts pricing pressure on a transitioning High-end Wife, whose assets are more aged and more likely to be in need of a refresh. High-end GF: Below the high-growth exterior, High-end GFs are mainly naive and prone to huge strategic gaffes despite tactical genius and impressive, but depreciating, endowments of natural resources. Her short term position is strong, because as Man is transitioned from High-end Wife, High-end GF will get a small short-term boost. Considering that Man is likely rich, this will be a very small and very short boost. Given that this boost is purely short-term in nature, this is a classic buy on the rumor, sell on the news situation for anyone looking to invest in a portfolio of High-end GFs. Over the long term, her fundamentals will become identical to that of the High-end Wife, with the exception being that her former role as a mistress weakens her bargaining power with respect to Man in terms of Man seeking out new strange. High-end Hooker: Her position is strongest and her assets are acyclical. In good times, men are flush with cash and looking for strange but are also less dysfunctional; this leads to an allocation towards a basket mainly consisting of High-End Wives, with maybe a 15% position in High-end GFs and a 2-5% position in High-end Hookers. As markets worsen and/or crisises take hold, Man is increasingly dysfunctional and looking for ego offsets. It also in this time when Man typically contemplates or engages in life restructuring which can entail simple cost saves, like headcount reduction, or even full-on recapitalization, flushing out the junior capital. A successful market-timing Man will typically have a portfolio composed of 60% High-end Hookers, 30% High-end GFs and 10% value High-end Wives when the market is bottoming. As the cycle comes around, the High-end Hooker position is reduced opportunistically, some of the High-end GF portion transitions organically to High-end Wives and the value High-end Wife position is added to with more growth High-end Wives. As to relative vulnerability, obviously Man will be ok and everyone else will (still) be fcuked in a recession. This is what historically has been true according to the data we have. Additionally, the cross-cyclical trend we see is that everyone else will still be fcuked.
I have decided that my wife will have to be a doctor or a dentist graduated from an Ivy League school. As a family, we’ll have hedged our market exposure, so I will have the opportunity to take risks in things like managing money and small business start-ups. Sincerely, Ali “Everything revolves around money and I have no soul” Man
Holy Sh*$…im pretty sure this has to be my Ex writing this.
Two points: 1. Needhelp - you moved to a new city away from your girlfriend? Indefinitely? If so, then I’m not sure why you expected her to be there emotionally for you when you left her wherever she was. Leaving a significant other to move to a new city puts any relationship at risk. If you decided to leave, you took that chance, buddy. 2. Since when are financial analysts ballers?
Financial analysts are ballers when they start hedge funds. Or should I say, were ballers. Har har har
Well, gold-diggers or not, I’ll take the one on the right: http://dabagirls.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/pics056rt2.jpg?w=500&h=666 She actually looks like a pretty nice girl (though we all know how looks can be deceiving). That said, I’d make sure we get in a few “practice runs” before I mention anything about how my bonus is down year-over-year.

Yes i did move and left her but she insisted that that was the right move. she said that she loved the new city and would move there. you are probably right though. i think i overestimated the strength and depth of the relationship. that girl used to see psychics. so after i moved, she once told me over the phone, my psychic had told me that it would be a bad idea for you to move to the new city. i was like whaaa!!! then she said, right before breakup, “needhelp, i cant move to the nee city because you dont like the new city.” i was like whaaaaa!!!

On another note, how many of you can relate to the comment in the article about there being a “link between the boardroom and the bedroom”? Specifically, I was curious about the comment on there being a “type of person who has a bad day on the trading floor and they want to have sex more,” at least according to one of the DABA girls. I don’t know about you guys, but after a stressful day, the first thing I often want to do is just roll over and fall asleep. Of course, that’s not always ideal for the girlfriend or lady friend. Any suggestions on how to get your adrenaline pumping and get yourself “in the mood”? Normally I’d just do what I need to do (e.g. sleep, grab drinks with my buddies), but some girls are so adamant about getting what they want, it’s like nails against a chalkboard. If I blow them off, I’m back in the doghouse before I even know it. Any thoughts, guys? And ladies, feel free to opine based on your own experiences as well. We all know it ain’t only the guys that are having a tough time in this recession, as evidenced by that New York Times article.
They’re not even that pretty. I dunno when I was in new york last year the majority of people were on the ugly side of average looking. Not too many tens there, especially considering how often it is mentioned in Leveraged sellout.

Depends where you hang out – there are definitely some lovely ladies at some of the more posh clubs and lounges, but on the average, I wouldn’t say there are that many lookers in New York. I’d consider SoHo and Greenwich Village to have some of the most attractive women – I guess you’re always more likely to find good looking girls where there are good stores, but SoHo and the Village seem to have a greater concentration of talent than Fifth Avenue, as an example. That being said, I too agree that New York girls on the average don’t hold a candle to the chicks I’ve seen in Texas (where I am now). I find the girls here to be not only more attractive, but also more down-to-earth and hospitable.
Texas girls have fat arses. There I said it.
But you like that KJH…
Fifth Avenue is mostly tourists.
