GaroweGal Posted April 20, 2012 Rich Men will not Marry Pretty Women. Why? A reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan to a pretty girl seeking a rich husband 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 are 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 A philosophical reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan: 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 worse 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.

Morgan CEO this remains me of the time a girl in my after school program proposed her idea of making a nice living. she said, once the teacher asked her what will you do for a living and this is after she said she does not need to focus on school/homework; i will marry a basketball player. then the teacher explain the odds of her finding a rich basketball player and the odds of someone making it to the nba. suffices to say, she was not happy.

Wadani Posted April 20, 2012 The rich guys response does not make sense. He doesn't explain y the rich fellas like himself marry average looking women, despite the fact that they too will depreciate at a rate comparable to beautiful women. So in the end, if one is forced to marry, it makes more economic sense to marry the beauties, who in old age will still look better than their average counterparts.

Aaliyyah Posted April 20, 2012 clearly the point is those average looking women bring something other than their looks on the table - credentials, money etc.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wadani Posted April 20, 2012 ^ but who says beauty and those credentials u have mentioned r mutually exclusive. His arguement makes no sense. But anyway, it was meant to be a fun read, and that it was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaliyyah Posted April 20, 2012 He isnt saying pretty girls cant be educated and what not you are right looks and credentials dont have to be mutually exclusive. But, the girl in question only spoke of her beauty she didnt mention anything else she was like "im 25 and pretty" thats about it lol...He is basically saying if she is only bringing to the table her beauty then he is better off marrying an average looking girl who has more than beauty (ie educated etc) at least that girl's education waxbu ka faidaya..tan laakin quruxda markay ka tago maxay kale mesha ku haysa..hope that explains it. salaam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaliyyah Posted April 20, 2012 loooool no i agree that for the most part with age you kinda go okey maybe i dont need all that..but you still get to see some people in their 30s expecting so muchh so it has a lot to do with wisdom than age. I don't think its just age...sometimes you just learn that certain things are not as important as you thought they were when you were younger. I am 24 and I have always dreamed about marrying a rich guy for instance and then now I wonder where I GOT such notion..like he has to make a decent living no doubt but i dont know this whole rich thing? ma aqaan cida nugu qururuxisa nin lacag leh keensada. People have to focus on the person's personality more thats more lasting. and i love your list..i was dying reading it LOOOL..like age 32 one of the list was "|has enough money for dinner"?? walahi thats heart breaking..in 8 years ama be like that..hada mesha iskaga kaca and get one that has a career..casho beela with that im off to bed. Night. salaam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
