Well, they used to hang out here: Spoiler But now, they mostly hang out here: Spoiler BTW, does anyone else think it was Trader_Jorge that answered that ad?
she failed to notice that ppl that make 500k a year make that much for a reason..they know their shi!t
That's pretty funny, but the guy is actually just being brutally honest about it. Beauty fades, ladies (in your case, fast...in our case, a man can still look good well into his 50's, and still date a bunch of younger girls), so you better have something more to offer beyond your looks (preferably a functioning brain and a personality that will at least keep things 'interesting'). That's the problem with having looks as your only asset: once you hit your peak you will depreciate like a used car. Pretty funny, but at least she now knows how it goes: take it or leave it...
She' just got smacked in the face with "reality." To girl who is asking for $500 K a year money train..... 1) Couldn't she just become a NBA or MLB (most contracts are guaranteed... ) groupie and have a kid or two ($50,000 - $250,000 for child support, considering her goals it will have to be high-end fairly well-known player who is gonna be league at least next 10 years) 2) Become a model (strikingly beautiful as she would said). Let's see still 25. She couldn't be one on the big time runway stuff...but she could do magazines, auto shows, spokesperson, or etc. ($35,000 - $150,000) 3) Get pregnant by a banker and lawyer (or even politician...Ill explain later)....stake out a prominent bank or law firm wait outside for a good month to two, find out who works there so she can weed on the lowly employees, like the ones only make measley $100,000 or 450 K. Since they'll be grossly deficient in fulfilling the 500 k requirement. 4) (see #2)Go to the Middle East and try to become model for a Sultan. 5) If she knows her politicians or even sorta well-known people in her area...she should try to go and seduce one (preferably one that's either married, a Christian conservative, someone with a clean record, someone who has appeared on TMZ, The Insider, Inside Edition, or Extra)....try to have a discreet and sordid affair with one. Try to get somebody to film you and take pictures. Then try to sell them to the tabloids or one of the shows above. Dump the person she's dating and they're gonna be on to her. That person's probably going to deny it or not speak about it. Then, you try to get some air time and stuff like that. And then they either offer her "hush money" or she decides to write tell-all book. 5) Start trying to get into exclusive and upper echleon night-clubs, and pretty much pucker her lips up and by some expensive toothpaste and mouthwash...because she's gonna have to kiss some *prestigous* a$$. She's just not putting any effort into it. Let's see Gennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinsky, Super-Head, Paula Jones, Jessica Hahn, and anyone other gold.............................en opportunists. And she would definitely be on the higher end, because she said "stunningly beautiful." Her opportunities could exceed those of Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky.
Random thoughts: 1m is middle class in NY??? I know being a millionaire isn't what it used to be, but come on, it's still wealthy any way you cut it. I've read that by the time an average man is 50, shaving his face has made the skin 10 years younger than the average 50 year old woman. and... This thread is useless without pics (not of Paris, btw).
I knew a girl like that. She's only 22 and her looks are already going downhill . She'll be struggling in a few years time!
Well..........it's kinda sad, really. "Money's a powerful drug." -said in my best Dave Chappelle Rick James impersonation.
Women quantifying themselves with a price tag, nice. though it only takes a 2nd look past initial presentation to see thats how it is ..I do like her honesty though. And the man's response was executed flawlessly. Wait though what, a woman making her OWN money and being a primary wage earner? I sure hope this man didnt imply a role reversal of sorts, or he must just really be an insensitive creep...
This was not a flawless response because even though it's sort of implied, he needed to explicitly state that to keep her in the lifestyle she wants will also be an enormous drain on his earning power. She's not only a depreciating asset, but also akin to crumbling infrastructure that will never be as good as new but always needs expensive maintenance.
Uhhhhh no. Middle class in NYC - even in Manhattan is not much more than it is in Houston. It's still a very, very small % of people here in NY that make $500k+. Now there are many more here that make that much than there are in a Houston, Dallas, Miami, Philly, etc, but again, it's stil a tiny, tiny, % of the total population here.
I know that if I made hundreds of thousands of dollars, I'd be very wary of women like this. All they're going to do is leach off of you then divorce you, take half your stuff, and collect alimony. I'm guessing she hasn't been successful in marrying up because she doesn't hide her motivations very well if at all. I'll bet that the single wealthy guys can see her game from a mile away and know to stand clear.
