Sorry spoiled cindy... you're worthless, and nobody likes you now.

Posted: 8/24/2005 8:55:29 PM | Hi Ashley!
My desire to find the perfect personality in a mate DOES take precedence over anything.
With that said, I'm sure it will be easy for me to find someone who makes a good living, because the man I will fall in love with is ambitious and a hard worker and good with money. I couldn't fall in love with a man who's lazy and a couch potato and frivolous.
Did that make sense? | |

You're a terrible negotiator. You didn't mention love or committment in your offer...it was all about the money. I gave you a mighty wide open opportunity to mention things such as passion, love, emotional support...there's a lot more you could offer but you chose not to do so. It is purely good business to peruse an initial presented offer, look for loopholes, ask one's self if it could possibly be a win/win situation with a little negotiation and tweaking, and if not, determine it to be a poor offer due to the fact that it does not include anything, tangible, or intangible, which would give me any warm fuzzies about entering into said offer.
The deal as I understand it, is to take on a stranger for a month, pay at *least* half, if not most of his bills, take him on vacation, blahblahblah. What kind of moron would do that?
I gave you ample opportunity to describe more in detail the scenario so we could at least start negotiating. I have tons of ideas! But it's *your* job to in good faith describe what you're bringing to the table besides a stack of bills and what I am quite sure are your excellent french fry-making skills.
You still ain't playin' ball, cowboy! I'll give you another chance, but remember, a hot number like me doesn't wait around...let's do business or let's drop it...

p.s. - why are you calling BS on us who don't care about the salary, while you, on the other hand are advertising your Beemer in your profile?? | |

There's nothing to negotiate, the deal is will you accept me for who I am. Remember I come in to this deal with nothing! I have a crap job, no money, my car needs work hell I even need a haircut.
I have everything that you would ever want when it comes to emotional support, love, caring and just being that perfect partner.
I just don't have the money to hold down the fort, at times I'm with out a job but I do try hard. I love you with all my heart and I would never cheat on you.
I spend a month with you and I'm everything that you would ever want BUT it costs you twice what it would normally cost you to live.
Do you still want me around or am I a burden..........................think about it!
BTW read what you just wrote.......you dig your own grave by trying to be the person that your not..... | |

Although I take issue with your statement that I have dug my own grave by "trying to be the person that your (sic) not", I'll play along this time.
Now that you have given me something to work with (thank you), we have a potential deal in the making! Remember, you didn't tell me who you were to begin with...
OK, so you love me with all of your heart, you're my perfect match, you'll never cheat on me, and your list of other things you bring to the table. I guess we are to assume that I love you as well.
Crap job? I need more info. You're working a crap job because....? Are you doing something you truly enjoy and are happy doing it, but are underpaid? Or are you for some reason unable to hold a steady job, or are unwilling to work hard at your low-paying job? Before I would allow you into my life and my home, we would have an understanding that I cannot respect a man who will not work for a living, therefore, that negates the idea that I'm in love with you in the first place. But we'll overlook that for now.
Your car needs work? Guess what! I work so many hours that my house needs work, my landscaping needs work, my swimming pool needs work, my waterfalls need work, my hot tub needs work, and this is just the maintenance stuff. I'll make a deal...I'll pay to fix your car, I'll let my housekeeper, landscaper, and pool boy go, and you take over their responsibilities in exchange. You love me, after all...and cannot bear to see me work such long hours, then take on the additional manual labor at home.
You need a haircut? Take your own ass to get your haircut, and pay for it yourself. Be a big boy and make your own appointment, too.
I won't make your car payment, either. Mine's paid for. I won't buy another one. I don't think any man who loves me would expect this from me. I will, however, allow you the security of keeping your car in my garage, and the security of living in a gated neighborhood. Takes a little bit of the burden off of your instinct to protect me. You wouldn't have to pay any of the mortgage. I bought the house, I'll pay the mortgage.
What I would expect in return....you would have to hold down some type of job, for two reasons...to keep my respect and to contribute *something* monetarily, a la dinners out, the grocery bill, utility bills, etc. Since you love me, you would do so in a heartbeat. And, since I love you so much, I would appreciate every contribution.
There's my counter-offer.
Let's re-visit your assessment of me..."trying to be the person your not". pssst...it's "you're". What do you know of me that would lead you to make that assumption?

Posted: 8/24/2005 10:44:00 PM | | Wise idea, Biz. I would think you would have the brains not to post it in the first place, given you're not looking for gold diggers. | |

There's nothing like throwing money into something that loses a great portion of its value as soon as it's driven off the lot!!!
Show me a good job, a cute house that's well maintained, and I'm impressed.
And, show me a BMW, when you're renting an apartment instead of owning one, I'm MAJORLY turned off! | |

Yep, BAD financial move....good instincts, MsPicky!
And no, I'm not an attorney....I just work with money...helping millionaires become multi-millionaires....
HEY maybe *that's* why I appreciate people for who they are, rather than what's in their portfolios... | |

Posted: 8/24/2005 10:57:55 PM | This is one of the most depressing threads on this site.
There is this one other site that where I listed my income was over $300,000 a year. The women just fell over themselves wanting to contact me.
What a bunch of suckers and gold diggers. They all thought they had found their "Prince Charming"
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Posted: 8/24/2005 10:58:29 PM | I honestly do ask a guy what he does for a living... but until reading how that can make a guy think I'm shallow never even dawned on me. I ask to know if he enjoys what he does, if he's HAPPY. Not judging how much money he makes... Oye. Now I actually wonder if the guys that I asked thought I was basically asking how much moolah does he make.
OT... I was engaged to a multi millionare. I've dated guys who dont make much at all. I can honestly say I preferred a guy who lived within his means... didn't over spend, wasn't a penny pincher... *shrugs* | |

Posted: 8/24/2005 11:05:55 PM | Good point, Lyssa.
I once dated a guy whose salary was well into the mid-six digits.
But, he had alligator arms (couldn't reach his pockets for his wallet). UGH! I learned that when a man is cheap, he's cheap all around...with money, affection, consideration, etc.
I'd prefer to date someone who lives within his means too. It's about balance. | |

Posted: 8/25/2005 4:00:03 AM | | YOu know, money is the root of all evil and destruction all too often. It's important to survive, I agree. It's more a matter of the attitude towards it, the quest for it, the all-consuming need for it (which may be important, especially in chronic expensive disease states), and other reasons for needing it. But those who make 7 figures, and are firing workers, especially in America, while our fukin leaders wage another stinking Viet Nam getting our people killed over in that never-changing Hell hole (which is NOT our place to change), and cut deals limited to the elite rich of America all for self-gain deserve to be shot in a new Revolution. Some people with money who are ugly in such ways deserve to be shot. Now, as far as the basis for a relationship, I think money has some measure of importance, but is certainly NOT the main basis for marriage and dating. If so, then you are dealing with a sorry ass who cares only for YOUR money and not your love. They don't know the meaning of love. Neither do traitors who sell out their own country to slavery at the expense of common citizen workers who have given their soul to the company store. Some administrators just need to know what fear feels like. | |
