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.
