The women in the article are the exact reason why it's so damn hard to date in NYC at my age. That whole article makes me want to vomit.

I wonder if the "divalicious" woman who put on this event is married. Would you want to be married to her?

Edited: She is!

Those who didn't were smart - they knew to protect themselves.
Somehow, I doubt it, FB. I have an image of them gritting their teeth and bearing it like the prostitutes they appear to be.

Gawd, this really burns me up.

Yup - men see the materalism and RUN!!!!!! Gucci, Coach, Bloomies, Tiffanys, have I missed anything?

One of my online dates was with a NYC school teacher in the city at a hip bar on the East Side near Bloomies for her shopping expedition, she sized me up and down, then shared a couple of drinks with me while she regaled me with her love of horses, how she was going to the Hamptons for the blah blah Cup. No!, she was going to the Hamptons to land a rich polo player. Such a snob!!!! She was nice eye candy, though.

My friend (male) is a schoolteacher, well, he does occupational therapy in NYC public schools, and he said that all of the female teachers that date or are married to Madison Avenue types of guys. They don't date/marry male teachers..

Fortunately, the whole nation isn't NYC. I would rather be dead than live in Manhattan. LI isn't even much better but at least there are some down to earth people on LI.

Actually, a ton of them are married to cops or office workers, or their busy carrying on affairs with other women teachers at school. Madison Ave. guys especially in advertising don't make enough moola unless their at the top of their game.

I think there's a weird thing that happens here, that somehow it is cool to be self-absorbed and materialistic. An "I deserve best and everyone else should recognize it" mentality. I fell into that trap myself for quite a while too. Extreme egotism is what it is. To be honest it's something I have to remain conscious of, I have to call myself out still from time to time when I slip into that pattern of thinking. The "I should have" "I must have" "I deserve" thing.

Sometimes methinks this may be part of the problem. To avoid being in a situation where your entitlement wife is sneeking off to divorce parties ya might want to look past the eye candy.

That may result in the same thing.
Because she may then be complaining that he does not pay attention and/or does not initiate sex.
Unless money is all she wants.

Not saying looks do not fade or are the most important, but until one gets to the point that intimate frolic does not matter, one wants somebody at least attractive enough for them on an individual level to shag with or have other physical affection for.

The quotes from the article made me fall out laughing.
Especially since those women are a part of certain stereotypes which are hot topics on this board.
