<p>I've personally been to La Cave and the Foxfire. I didn't notice any predation at the former, the latter left me fearful and not in a good way.</p>

<p>Eff, </p>

<p>Great post, love the what to do when you encounter a cougar instruction guide, especially the do it and feel no shame part. I think it will go a long way in helping me alleviate the next morning's awkwardness. I've never heard of or been to La Cave or Foxfire.</p>

<p>The new hunting grounds link was awesome. Thanks for expaning my horizons. I really enjoyed reading the field report under each listing. It reminded me of IR's daily property profiles minus the required income part. Maybe we can attach our own field reports to IR's daily profiles. Just like bltserv's report on Opah in Aliso. Wow, sounds like he had to fight them off over there. Also, thinking about rockin' the I heart Cougars T-shirt available from that site. Great Stuff, indeed!</p>
 
whats crazy is i've been to a lot those places listed as cougar hunting grounds. maybe i just never venture into the bar area.
 
<p>Nothing weird about that at all, initially I felt the same way . I know the water may seem cold but jump in. You'll be glad you did. </p>
 
tenmagnet, are you talking to me? i haven't fully discussed it with her yet, but i'm assuming my girlfriend wouldn't like the idea. besides, i'm too cheap to buy her dinner and then buy drinks at the bar for some cougar. i have to draw the line somewhere.
 
<p>acpme,</p>

<p>Yeah, I could see how that would pose a problem with the girlfriend. I agree with you about drawing the line. I draw the line at buying women drinks, that's a definite no-no in my book. Let the other guys, ie. typical single OC males, do the heavy lifting, throwing money around to impress and buying her drinks. That's the behavior she's expecting. Once that's out of the way then I make my move. </p>

<p>You think dating is cheaper than marriage... boy are you in for a R.U.D.E awakining....</p>

<p>I just don't know how guys can juggle 3-4 gf's without losing all their money.</p>

<p>I got this email from my cousin. I know Eff will get a laugh out of it.</p>

<p>THIS APPEARED ON CRAIG'S LIST


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.

THE ANSWER </p>

<p>


Dear Pers-431649184:


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 perspective 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. </p>

I thought cougars liked younger men? I think that's an Anna Nicole Smith that caught her prey...:) But the previous poster who supposedly made $500K responding to the 25 year old is right, this Chinese Anna Nicole looked a lot better when she first caught the prey when she was in her 20s...in this pic she's probably in her mid-30s.
 
<p>Yeah, that ain't no cougar in the picture with money bags Rupert Murdoch. That's a different species all together, some one help me here, what's latin for gold digger?</p>
 
<p>This thread got mauled. Sorry ISM. All of us bad men got caught up in the Cougar thing while all ISM wanted to do was start a singles thread. I think we need to start another thread for Irvine singles and all of us nasty boys need to stay away from it !</p>

<p>We can start our own Cougar and wildlife thread and keep it seperate. I appologize</p>
 
C’mon guys, I thought the intention here was to help singles like myself, and ISM who are out there make a connection, hence the singles club. She laid out her criteria first and now guys are chiming in with their own. Where's the harm in that?
 
<p>Well, I think ISM is seeking a mate, not a hookup. Perhaps there should be a wildlife thread to compliment this one. </p>
 
Actually, guys, I have been finding this thread quite entertaining. I don't mind the hijack - I'm not that uptight. (I'd add a smiley here if my iBook would allow me to).
