NEW YORK - Deal or no deal? A woman's online bid to find a rich husband in New York earning more than $500,000 a year has caused an Internet stir with a mystery Wall Street banker publicly assessing her hunt for romance as a business deal -- and a bad one at that.

The anonymous 25-year-old woman posted an ad on the free online New York community Web site Craigslist, http://newyork.craigslist.org/, seeking advice on how to find a wealthy husband in New York where Wall Street bankers can earn bonuses each year of up to $10 million.

"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," wrote the woman, who described herself as "spectacularly beautiful" and "superficial".

"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," she said, asking questions like "where do rich single men hang out?"

A mystery banker, who said he fitted the bill, offered the woman an analysis of her predicament -- but described it as "plain and simple a crappy business deal."

"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!" the banker wrote.

"So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset," he said. "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!"

"It doesn't make good business sense to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease," he said.

It makes you wonder how may women are more interested in marrying for money rather than love? From a man's point of view, why would one want to marry a woman who is obviously only interested in the money and who describes herself as superficial?

I think the banker's assessment is accurate. If you are rich enough to afford it, why not just "rent or lease" the eye-candy for your arm rather than "buying" her and giving half your net-worth to her. I mean, isn't that what this review board is all about.:D

Save the "buying" for someone you really want to spend the rest of your life and procreate with. After all, one advantage we guys have is that we do not have a biological deadline regarding our ability to precreate.:)

Just my two cents.
