What am I doing wrong?
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007a post from a gal:
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-:
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.

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007还是忍不住了,想讲一下别人的坏话.
公司里刚新来了一个自称’妹妹’的人.没有人知道她从哪里冒出来,她从前做什么的?现在住哪里?为什么没有交通工具也可以上班?为什么每天带这个行李来上班?为什么来爱拿香水当空气清新剂喷?为什么老爱抢人家的老鼠?为什么老爱弄坏人家的东西?为什么常不问自取?为什么讲话时舌头可以卷到那样夸?为身麽林伯说肩膀痛了你还可以当作听不见还拼命按我的的肩膀呢?
我来着公司上班了那么久,第一次FEEL到大家那样齐心的一次就是有次那妹妹回来时大家都很有心灵反应的等她一进厕所便陆续逃亡的那次…大家逃到下面时,都面对面笑了…多温馨啊!
这条水,其实早在七月分的FUNCTION时便见过面了.说实话,那时候就已经够怕她了.那时在酒店里,被她捉来弄了个红包LOOK…难看到要死…明明是去上班,却被她捉去练猫步,还玩那种好像陪坐小姐的ROLE PLAY…恶心!!
这是我的红包LOOK:

过往
Monday, October 8th, 2007以前写日记,是为了将来有一天看回自己所写的东西时,可以记得当时的情景,当时的感受.所以,以前写日记总是什么鬼都写下去, 事都有一天被偷看了,才学会用暗语,甚至只写一两个字, 搞到现在返回都不懂在写什么…
后来有了自己的厨后,日记又开始出现了一篇篇长长的文章.有时甚至写到了未来几天的页面…不过这些之发生在不开心时而已啦…
只是几年后,在此打开那些日记时, 发现当时所发生过的一切,有很多都是现在不想记得的.有好多事情,当时觉得有趣,享受的,已经变成了我最不愿以记起的事情了…而那些纪录着我整十年人生的日记簿,现在已不方便带在身边了,因为有很多被记录下的事情都当下有很多冲突.
我得十年人生,现在被遗忘在家乡的一个烂厨里.
有些事,过去就算了.记得对谁也没好处.要记的话,记在你身上的器官就算了,只有这样别人才没办法懂.

错的时间,对的人
有朋友说在对的时间遇到对的人是一种幸福
而在错的时间遇到对的人会怎么样呢?
这是一道多元的爱情方程式
错与对时间和人
每个因子的改变都会演变出截然不同的结果
想了好久仍然未想好该如何阐述错的时间对的人
应该也可以有美好结局的
错的时间遇到对的人
本身就是一种幸福
如果象某些人那样要追求所谓的轰轰烈烈的虚幻爱情
也许它会成为悲剧
如果将这种相遇的幸福感埋藏心底
也许它会沉积成为最甜蜜的回忆
那么错的时间对的人何尝不是另一种幸福?
***************************************************************
在对的时间,遇见对的人,是一生幸福
在对的时间,遇见错的人,是一场心伤
在错的时间,遇见错的人,是一段荒唐
在错的时间,遇见对的人,是一阵叹息
其实有些事情,真的是没得到的时候,最珍贵美丽
你是否分得清楚谁是你最爱的人,谁是最爱你的人,谁是你要共度一生的人.
你最爱的,往往没有选择你;
最爱你的,往往不是你最爱的;
而最长久的,偏偏不是你最爱也不是最爱你的,
只是在最适合的时间出现的那个人。
你,会是别人生命中的第几个人呢?
没有人是故意要变心的,他爱你的时候是真的爱你,
可是他不爱你的时候也是真的不爱你了,
他爱你的时候没有办法假装不爱你;
同样的,他不爱你的时候也没有办法假装爱你 。
聪明的人喜欢猜心,虽然每次都猜对了,却失去了自己的心………
***************************************************************
若是有缘,时间、空间都不是距离;
若是无缘,终是相聚也无法会意。
凡事不必太在意,更不需去强求, 就让一切随缘吧。。。
逃避,不一定躲得过;
面对,不一定最难过。
孤独,不一定不快乐;
得到,不一定能长久。
失去不一定不再拥有,
可能因为某个理由而伤心难过
但,你却能找个理由让自己快乐
爱无非是要温暖对方。
两个人不能快乐,但可以互相温暖;
两个人相互温暖,才会找回信心获得快乐。
爱,是一种责任,即使压力也会觉得幸福;
爱,是一种包容,即使不惯也会觉得甜蜜;
爱,是一种温暖,即使失去了整个世界也会有你在我身边。。。
有些失去是注定的,有些缘分是永远不会有结果的
希望你我的相遇不是尴尬,不是惋惜,更不是无奈,而是一生的幸福…………
***************************************************************
有一个女人突然决绝的跟相爱五年的男友分了手,闪电般嫁了他人。她说她要结婚她实在等不起了,而他虽然爱她,却根本没有一点这方面的意思。
过了几年, 男人也结婚了。那个新娘其实未必比她出色多少,或者这一次他的爱有多么深,只不过她出现的时机实在太好,刚刚好在他萌生倦意想安定下来的时候。
于是,不需要什么更好的理由了,她来得正是时候,那么,就是她了。其实我们寻寻觅觅了那么久,遍尝每一次爱情的甜蜜与艰辛,而最后选择的爱人,不过就是在我们心意动时经过身边的那一个。
什么青梅竹马,什么心有灵犀,都不过是些锦上添花的借口,时间才是冥冥中一切的主宰.回首往事的时候,想起那些如流星般划过生命的爱情,我们常常会把彼此的错 过归咎为缘分。其实说到底,缘分是那么虚幻抽象的一个概念,真正影响我们的,往往就是那一时三刻相遇与相爱的时机。
男女之间的交往,充满了犹疑忐忑的不确 定与欲言又止的矜持,一个小小的变数,就可以完全改变选择的方向。如果你出现 的早一点,也许他就不会和另一个人十指紧扣;又或者相遇的再晚一点,晚到两个人在各自的爱情经历中慢慢学会了包容和体谅,善待和妥协,也许走到一起的时候,就不会那么轻易的放弃,任性的转身,放走了爱情。
在你最美丽的时候,你遇见了谁?在你深爱一个人的时候,他又陪在谁身边? 爱情到底给了你多少时间,去相遇和分离,去选择和后悔?
重温《大话西游》,看到紫霞深爱至尊宝的时候,他心心念念的寻找他的白晶晶,而当他终于看到了她留在心里的那一滴泪,却已经失去了选择的权利。
每一次 看到至尊宝潜入另一个人的身体,去偿还前世欠她的一句承诺,再看他在夕阳下孤独的走远,总是情不自禁的想要落泪。不是不心动,不是不后悔,但已经没有时间,再去相拥。
如果爱一个人而无法在一起;相爱却无法在适当的时间相遇;如果你爱了,却爱不对时间,除了珍藏那一滴心底的泪,无言的走远,你又能有什么选择?要在时间的荒野,没有早一步也没有晚一步,于千万人之中,去邂逅自己的爱人,那是太难得的缘分.
更多的时候,我们只是在彼此不断的错过,错过了杨花飘飞的春,又错过了枫叶瑟索的秋,直到漫天白雪,年华不再,在一次次的心酸感叹之后,才能终于了解————即使真挚,即使亲密,即使两个人都已是心有戚戚,我们的爱,依然需要时间来成全和考验。
这世界有着太多这样那样的限制与隐秘的禁忌,又有太多难以预测的变故和身不由己的离合,一个转身,也许就已经一辈子错过,要到很多年以后,才会参透所有的争取和努力,也许还抵不过命运开的一个玩笑。
上帝在云端只眨了一眨眼,所有的结局,就都已经完全改变。
所以古人会说,还君明珠双泪垂,恨不相逢未嫁时。而今人唱,而你的相片,一直锁在抽屉里面,感情的深浅,已懂得拿捏,只可惜我们爱在不对的时间。
