Would you marry for Money

[Resistance]

Who would not marry for money, or at least the potential for money to be made, a xaliimos with a job or has the potentional to hold down a decent career is far more an attraction.

But no is not the the 1st thing of the boxes that needs to be ticked.

[Aaliyyah]

Ofcourse a man has to have a decent career and should be able to provide a good life for his family. I am not saying we (somali women) don't have to work. we should work bt few years down the road if a woman wants to stay home and raise her family she should be able to depend on her husband.

Looking for Rich man

 

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.

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.

Chubacka, when the first part of your sentence happens, I am gone too...Maxaa meesha idhigaya, awalba soo lacagta kuma raacin...Money comes, I come; money goes, and POOOOOOOOOOOOF I magically disappear...

 

Marka maxaanba the second part of the sentence kugaarnaa?

 

 

As for those who wouldn't marry for money, good for you, idinkana ku tashta hee shilinlee inuu shaatiguu gadanaayo ugu dartiin...

 

Nothing is wrong with having a bit of financial freedom and should be taken into consideration when choosing a life partner...Hadiikale walee is jiidjiid aa nii dambeyneyso...

[SCORPION_SISTA]

What about the source of the money, would that make a difference?...It seems like there are certain jobs in our culture, which individuals make a good financial income from, but often are not respected and are looked down upon...Is it only the money or the prestige that comes with the money that is important?

[Ibtisam]

^^^You mean like if he is a pimp or a hassler or in the mafia I don't think it will make a difference if all you want is his money. Hablaha chasing money haa kaa sheekiyaan this. Interesting twist though and I’m just teasing. I’m sure no Somali girl would marry the above even for money.

[Baluug]

If a girl was to marry me for money, she would have to have really low standards.
