Yeah, no kidding. Thrilling intellectual conversation there.

The best part is that she likely wrote that thinking it made her seem down to earth, intellectual and sophisticated - and not just spoiled, trite and a whore.
The worst part of all of this, is that accoridng to Cowpersons post, she actually wrote it herself!! Wow....

She's probably laughing her ass off at the men who are so worshipful of their one-eyed monks that they actually took something so tongue-in-cheek so seriously.
She's actually a very bright woman . . .

I smell some bitterness and hypocrisy in this thread...If your money could buy you a Erin Burnett with her sister for a weekend, how many of you wouldn't go for it? Yeah I though so

If I had the kind of money to buy all the things on her list, I'm sure I could get a better woman that Erin Burnett, whom I had never heard of prior to this thread.

I have no idea who she even is, let alone have any desire to 'impress' her 
*edit* ok, checked her out on google. Is she for real? The most I would shell out to date a chick with her looks is whatever it would cost to buy a Big Mac (no fries  ) and a six-pack of Mountain Crest.

I think it was an attempt at humour, but it was poorly done.
She does absolutely nothing to quell the stereotype of women on Wall Street and actually comes off looking EXACTLY like Charlie Sheen's GF from the movie Wall Street.

Why not come out right away and say it was a joke then? Instead it is an embarrassing 'no comment' type situation?? Pulease.
I think she might have been kidding in terms of degree, but not in intent - those are the sorts of things that would win her over and in her world that is not asking a lot. I think peoples disgust is as much about that entire world as it is her actual article.

I really really doubt that article was written as a joke. Why would it be? Nothing in there had a tone of sarcasm or a humoristic tone. It was in Mens Health, not some witty sattire magazine. If they wanted funny, they'd ask Dave Barry.
Nice try covering up for her though....

The thing that I see with her is that she can probably afford to do all those things for herself. Why shouldn't she expect to be with someone with the same spending power who can also do those things for her? Did she say a man needs to do all of them to get her attention? She just pointed out some things that would impress her. Did she say she wouldn't do those things for her man? No.
Is it too much to ask for? Probably for a girl like myself who can't afford to do those things for myself, but like attracts like.
Sure it sounds like she's a money hungry whore, but as I said, she can likely afford to do those things for herself anyway. Why shouldn't she have a man who can also do those things for her?

Well obviously she's clueless about the fact that most people that read that magazine could never afford to do those things. Why not get the Queen of England to write what would impress her?

: I'm overreaching at all...
And got a response from some rich guy
Your offer, from the prospective of a
: guy like me, is plain and simple a
: cr@ppy 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...
It goes on quite a bit. Funny stuff. |
