Gold-Digger Owned on Craigslist

It doesn’t really matter, because either way, it’s still funny as hell.

His response is classic. Nothing like answering a dumb question with a brilliant response…

I read this on another board a few days ago. Awesome response from the guy.

Jesus that was perfect

Here’s her rebuttal:

Dear Sir,

I must confess that I was somewhat taken aback upon reading your email. Indeed, it has taken some time for me to sufficiently recuperate from my surprise. Lest your confidence quickly inflate for little reason (as we know is the predisposition for Wall St. types), allow me to hasten to reassure you that the source of my surprise was neither your candor nor the accuracy of your perception. Indeed, it is your “claimed” success in light of your poor grasp of economics which has me baffled. If the standards required to meet with financial success on Wall St. have sunk so low, perhaps I should indeed “make my own money”, except for the fact that the effort/reward ratio is far too high for my liking - especially when so many of your ilk have displayed a far more cogent grasp of market realities than you have.

By now you are likely scratching your ever-vanishing hairline in confusion, so allow me to elaborate, dear man. To build some credibility I will tell you a bit more about yourself. Though you did not mention the details of your occupation, it is clear that you are an investment banker and not a trader, as any good trader would understand that human courtships are based upon a semi-efficient open market, and not an investment banking cartel. However, your inability to grasp the realities of the dating market is not surprising, given that you have successfully employed the tools of collusion and market manipulation rather that true acumen in your supposed wealth generation.

If your grasp of finance were not a minority partner with your ego, you would realize that the “outflows” associated with my depreciating “assets” are quite certain, and therefore subject to a low discount rate when determining their present value. In addition, though your concept of economics evidentially failed to move past the 1950s, advancement in plastic surgery is not subject to the same limitation. Thus, with some additional capital expenditure, the overall lifetime of “outflows” generated by these assets is greatly increased. Sad that Ashton Kutcher has demonstrated understanding of the female asset class which you, in all of your financial “wisdom”, have not.

You, on the other hand, are, given the uncertainty of the Wall St. job market, more of an inflation-indexed junk bond with an underwater nested call option. Though you may argue that you are more of an equity investment, my monetary minimums required from you do not change, and if you are unable to pay them, I will liquidate you without the benefit of a chapter 11, just as you would me.

Because your outflows are so much more uncertain with respect to mine, I require additional compensation in the form of a underwater nested call option on your future assets. I say underwater because, even taking into account the value of your junk bond coupon payment to me, the value of my “outflow” is in excess of the market price of your equity (which is quite low due to its riskiness associated with your poor grasp of finance and my existing claim upon your junk bond coupon).

I must thank you though for raising the question, despite the reputation cost of subjecting your weak logic to such widespread scrutiny. This took either considerable courage or ignorance on your part- and we’ll give you the benefit of doubt, just this once. My current boyfriend (a trader who lives in Central Park West, of course) and I thoroughly enjoyed discussing your response and we wish you the best of luck in your unhappy pursuit of that elusive market inefficiency.

I find it funny that she didn’t include her first posting when she put up this reply; it only shows the guy’s post. I wasn’t aware of the original context until I saw this thread.

She tries too hard in that response. His was well-written; she thought a thesaurus would do the writing for her.

you can cut through the sexual tension with a knife.

people like them need to get laid; often.

Why is she looking to marry a 500K guy in one post and then talking about being with her current boyfriend in her response? Damn trolls.

I got $50 that says she isn’t nearly as hot as she thinks she is.

Current boyfriend? He must be some sort of toolbag.

I think theres a word for that. Yeah, it’s “hooker.”

Oh, and I bet her current boyfriend wrote the response as well. There’s a definite lack of continuity between her posts.

Plus women can’t be that smart. So it makes her “current boyfriend” gay as well.

There’s a very obvious feeling of desperation on her reply. Her feelings and her pride were hurt, so she felt she had to try extra hard to fling poo at the guy and hope to god her ovaries recuperated from that thrashing.

Exactly. I’ve found that people who are really smart don’t use a lot of big words, they make complicated ideas seem simple, like the way true athletes make the impossible look easy.

I find it interesting that some of the same guys who would see nothing wrong with posting in a forum or asking friends how to get “hot chicks” see a problem with a woman asking how to get rich men.

At least she’s honest.

Stop letting people on to my game!

For instance?

Ohh nevermind. Well of course because women have an unfair advantage; they sit about chest height, hang accordingly, and scream “touch me!” every now and then.

BOOBS!

Getting guys is easy for women. Not just because of the boob thing but G-d just made it that way.

she’s got a boyfriend already! and he knows what shes up to. thats the face slapper for me, what a sick pair they must make.

I’m pretty sure that if the guy who replied is making $500k/yr ever came into hard times with the market, or had to change careers for any reason, that with the intellect necessary to make that much money he would be able to find another viable career opportunity. In the big picture, not many traders or bankers make that much money, so we’ll say he’s in the 99th percentile for income in the country.

I seriously doubt she’s in the 99th % of the maximum female “outflow.” Even if she is in that 99th % for looks, there are many more that would be smarter than her or more cultured or whatever, that would add additional value to her as a trading option, as she wishes to portray herself.

Summary: she’s an idiot.
