i’m not mean and as many will ponit out here i don’t comprehand things here too well…i don’t read long post unless its related to investing…
I’m so surprised so many of you guys are actually interested…its actually quite pathetic…i’ll stick with my kardashians…
Serious?
^^ it’s not so dramatic… just got an MBA but I refuse to work menial jobs, so I don’t. It’s not worth it for me to work 50hrs a week just to pay bills, but apparently it’s not that cool with girls.
Do you ride a motorcycle and have a drinking problem? If not, you’re doing it wrong. “Merely” being unemployed isn’t enough, you have to also have serious character defects to round out the package. If you’re willing to put in the work, you’ll instantly become irresistible to about 20% of the female population. Bonus points if you’re verbally or physically abusive as well*.
*I don’t condone that.
So the three years overlaps with the MBA or is 3 years post MBA? That’s an interesting POV. Where I grew up, rolling up your sleaves and taking care of yourself and putting no job beneath you is a virtue. Ladies like it to. Alot of them probably just think it sounds spoiled.
sad but true. some of us are “savers” … I’m past that phase.
^^ my philosophy is that I’d rather wait to buy a BMW than drive around town in a POS… quality over quantity.
i thought you were describing me 
how do I post pictures… some of the stuff I’m getting is really priceless. I couldn’t find more absurd images if I tried. I am going to start a random email … anyone interested in my escapades can send a note and I’ll create a distribution. This is going to be Umazing.

KanKan strikes me as a bit high maintenance. She claims is successful and attractive and talented (I’ll assume that’s true, although we do have to take her word for it). Despite being independent, she doesn’t want to pay for the site. Still, she’s been on the site for less than 24 hours and complains that she’s gotten only a 15% response rate. A good guy will think about how to compose a good response to a quality woman. Plus she doesn’t like the spam emails she’s getting from the frogs who won’t turn into princes.
My radar says a guy would either need to be jerk who doesn’t care, or he will drive himself crazy trying to keep her satisfied. Maybe that isn’t true, but it is the impression that one gets just reading the story. Hopefully the profile message doesn’t communicate the same.
I’ve been on dating sites in the past, and sometimes women (both attractive and unattractive) have such jaded and negative sounding profiles that no matter how pretty or successful they are, you just know that you’re not going to want to come home from a long day at the office and have to field all of her sources of dissatisfaction in the world. So move on to the next. Optimism and just being upbeat goes a long way.
I don’t know you specifically, but it sounds like you might be giving off that vibe. Seriously. It hasn’t been even 24 hours, and you’re already miffed that Prince Charming didn’t find you and/or call back?

Hey KanKan!
I just read your profile and wanted to let you know that I’ve already married and divorced you in my mind. It was a great 30 second marriage, wasn’t it? It was going well until you met that Cuban cabana boy. We both know you were challenged by my massive success of being the owner/operator of a up-and-coming hot dog stand. I’ve decided that I’m taking the dog. You can keep the pool – I can only imagine what fun you’ve had in there. . . so you can keep it.
I still love you and want to make this work. Maybe we can go to counceling or forgot that this all happened. Let me know if you are interested in giving *us* a second chance. Maybe we can make up over beers or a romantic dinner. But you are def. buying, since you are so successful!
Sincerly

Hate to burst your bubble, but every female receives those messages. My unattractive female friend says she gets 50 messages a day. What you’re getting is normal.
THIS APPEARED ON CRAIG’S LIST a few years ago.
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.
PostingID: 432279810 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.
