Marry A Rich Man!

This one is actually for all those girls, who have been telling me that they would like to Marry A Rich Man.

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 doesn'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)

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

analyse 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. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do
