Not sure if this has been posted. I got this forwarded by a friend through email: A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum: Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy? I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York . My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden , $250k annual income is not enough. I'm here humbly to ask a few questions: 1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym) 2) Which age group should I target? 3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I've met a few girls who don¢t have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys 4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (My target now is to get married) Ms. Pretty Here's a reply from a Wall Street Financial guy: Dear Ms. Pretty, I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyze your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here. From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of beauty and money: Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later. By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a trading position. If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or leased. Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool. Hope this reply helps.

I don't mean to take this seriously, but some of these bogus questions are interesting. Bullshit! In any city in America, upper middle class stops around $150K and that's where upper class begins. Nobody wants a gold-digger. There are plenty of women in America with heart-stopping beauty, but also other good qualities. I won't gossip about my wife, who is both beautiful and talented, but aside from her the three most beautiful women I've ever met were: an insurance claim investigator, an administrative assistant, and a computer programmer, all with quite respectable incomes of their own. Attitude affects appearance because it changes the way you carry yourself and the way you arrange the one hundred muscles in your face. Greed and laziness are UGLY! That's not surprising. I'm an IT consultant so I run into corporate executives and other prosperous people in the course of my work, and I'm sure I've never met anyone who makes more than $250K. They're too busy to meet me, they send one of their subordinates. That's true. They need a wife who pulls her own weight. The cost of living is indeed high in Manhattan, and that's why so many people have three roommates and live in converted warehouse space. "Humbly"! Advice columnists love it when they get letters like this. They're usually fake. You think they advertise? Why not put up a sign saying, "Robbers! Your best targets are in here!" Honey, people who make $500K go to exclusive clubs and other places where they wouldn't let you in! To treat this question seriously for a second, your only hope would be the oldest. You'll find a few really old widowers or divorced guys who are looking for a "trophy wife." However, trophy wives have much more going for them than their looks. These guys need a wife they can introduce to all of their upper-class friends who won't embarrass them. Someone who is extremely gracious, reasonably well educated, and well informed about the issues that concern the upper class so she doesn't come across like an idiot in their social conversation. Because your entire premise is fallacious. Most men want good wives, not just pretty wives. They fall in love for the same reasons all the rest of us do, and physical attractiveness plays a very small role in that chemistry. Many of the gorgeous wives you see hanging out with rich husbands are the results of expensive cosmetic surgery plus professional live-in hairdressers and makeup stylists. Catch them at breakfast and they don't look any better than the nice lady next door.
@ Clueluss: Good for you!

Strange, when I firstly show the OP to my bf, his response was very similar to you (without the details related with America or NY, because he isn't American and doesn't live in USA). He also taught me to be always social, manage my life and study well, maintain friendships and professionalism at work, understand important issues, etc. This helps me stop worrying about my height etc. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Hey shorty, I'm fairly wealthy, just a bit older than you and able to address all the areas in which you current beau (boy) is deficient. You'll love me.
Haa ha ha ... thank you for your interest, Mr. Potato Head, unfortunately I don't date smokers Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I remember this article being posted to Craigslist in 2006 0r 2007. Maybe its one of those internet-isms that people repeatedly repost (like "the Blood Ninja's chat log", or that silly paragraph about how you can read the words in a paragraph no matter what order the letters of the words are arranged).
No, me neither, If you can't respect your body, you can't respect anything. Smokers bad. Smokers Bleahhh!
Aw shit, you caught me smoking in the spudshot (mugshot). Guess I can't lie to you. I promise to be honest.
Ach, so. I haven't read it until a couple of days ago. I don't want to be the second Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!'s empress. I say no to polygamy. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Me too. I am polygamous. Spud Empress was a figment of my fertile imagination to make me appear slightly less tragic on the crucially important chat site for wannabes and did I mention, I think I love you.
Here is a link from 2007. I'm sure its not the first either: http://lazith.blogspot.com/2007/11/interesting-answer.html Search results from google: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...w questions:"&start=10&sa=N&cts=1264085657126 I wonder if anyone has put together an online compilation of these things yet? They aren't exactly memes (and there is a website called "knowyourmeme" that compiles those)......I've just never seen a website that collects these cute little repost-narratives.
In case no one has noticed: people, this isn't about me! There I put already on the first line of the OP: "Not sure if this has been posted. I got this forwarded by a friend through email:" So I am not looking for a (rich) husband or anything like that.. @ Om: ooo... might as well the whole thing is a hoax Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Sure, no one would ever assume a member of an upstanding intellectual community like Sci Forums would ever be so shallow. However, seeing as we're indexed by google, it may be nice to compile a list of tips in this thread, for the future reference of unscrupulous women intent on a relationship based solely on the thickness of their partner's wallet.
OOooo....ooo.. is somebody feeling bitter today? :idea: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
What is the difference between marrying for money and for beauty? Isn't trying to find a very pretty girl for wife is actually shallower than marrying for money, which is practical??? Money usually last longer than beauty...
