Pride Grows Back

Due to the recent counter reset, it has come to our attention that Nunavut is no longer our biggest fan. The Loss of Nunuvut is a hard hit to m4m's pride, but pride grows back....so we will be okay. If there are any provinces or random countries out there that would like to take the place of Nunuvut as our biggest fan, feel free. It's looking like somewhere in Europe is well on their way. My eyes suck and I don't know Europe very well, so I can't tell what country specfically, but there bubble is big on the cluster map.
Good-Day.

PART 2 - The Man

READ PART 1 FIRST

Answer :

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 look 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 3 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.

PART 1 - The Digger

THIS APPEARED ON CRAIG'S LIST (a huge classified website)

Question :


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'v 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.

US politics, gotta love it

I was checking my e-mail today, and on a sidebar of interesting photos this one jumped out at me.

It seems that this is the Republican perspective on Hillary Clinton's economic policies, but I'm not so sure that it's accurate. What do you think?

How Calgary plans to handle the tourists....(sorry about the lack of pic)

As a past resident of Calgary, if I see a headline about the town on the internet, I generally click on it to see what's new in Cow-town. So imagine my suprise when I learned what Calgary - a town/city known more for its conservatism and cowboys than its new-wave technology - is planning to use to improve its image in the minds of tourists: an automatic toilet.

You read that right. Apparently, the lack of public toilets is a barrier to tourists and residents alike when it comes to enjoying 17th avenue. This is the same street that was re-named the 'Red Mile' during the Flames' run to the Stanley Cup Finals a couple years ago. This is also the former home to the infamous 'Cowboys Niteclub', where Prince Harry was introduced to the wonders of Canadian girls last summer.
You would expect to find these types of inventions in Japan, maybe, but certainly not in Calgary. But this is the new Calgary after all - a pretender city. I wonder when people - in general, not just in Calgary - will figure out that futuristic toilets are not a tourist attraction....

Another Reason Not To Do It In Italy


Italy's Supreme Court ruled that it is NOT illegal to SECRETLY videotape you and your partner doing the dirty as long as it isn't distributed without permission. So, if your doing some guy (or girl) in Italy.....you better check for hidden cameras.

Beware of the following suspicious lines :

"I'm not actually recording hunny"
"That's not a videocamera, it's a telescope"
"I DONT CARE IF I CANT SEE WITHOUT MY GLASSES, I WANT THE LIGHTS ON"
"The little light in my closet is my Glow-in-the-dark Rosary"

The article goes on to say that a 49-year old guy from Rome, whom I'm going to call Tony, videotaped himself and his girl multiple times (there was a box of videos). When they broke up he sent her the videos with a note saying "These are my last thoughts of you."

Okay, seriously, burn.

Crazy Football Fan or Crazy Mom?

A father didn't like that his 7 year old kid refused to wear a Green Bay Packers jersey and cheer for his team. So he threw the jersey on the kid using tape and such and taped him to a chair. His wife took pictures with her cellphone and called the cops. The guy was arrested and the wife filed a restraining order. The father claims the son refused as a joke, that he taped him up as a joke, and it was all a misunderstanding. He could be telling the truth since the kid was laughing as the mother took pictures, but seemed to freak out once he couldn't get out. Still, it makes me wonder why the father didn't untie him once the freaking started.......

Whose crazy? The mom or dad? You Decide.
