這篇文章當時是華爾街金融圈很有名的笑話 原文是在2007年9月在craigslist貼的文章 (原craigslist的文章因為年代久遠,已被刪除) 立即引起廣大迴響(當然絕大多數都是嘲笑) 這篇文章後來被CNBC的財經王牌記者Jane Wells發現 就把這件事報導出來 當然回覆不是只有年收50萬的那位先生 連年收100萬,150萬的都有,只是回覆沒有50萬的先生那麼好笑罷了 這是CNBC的網址 Craigslist Post: I'll Marry You Only If You Make $500K
我會知道這件事 也是當時我在紐約, 朋友來找我時,跟我獻寶才知道
以下是那位美麗小姐post的原文 看得懂的人就加減看看,看不懂的人請自行找翻譯
ps:拜託一下 連那位美麗小姐都請大家高抬貴手了 "please hold your insults" 請大家給版主一個基本的尊嚴好嗎? =================================================================================

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.
