My GF was telling me about her friend's marriage. They just got married and already there's trouble. Apparently she was required to sign a prenup that said that she would not rely on him for any sort of financial support, and all she could expect would be for him to pay half of her rent. They live in a house that he owns. The prenup says that she can't decorate or otherwise improve their house because that might then make the house common property. There are other crazy things in the prenup about how she is to act during the marriage too.
The crazy thing is, the bride is a lawyer. she just graduated law school and is looking for a job. He's been raising hell over having to support her, even though he supported her before they were married while she was in law school.
But, such a prenup would be the minimum required if one married a chick like the one in the OP.

The Marquee Value Theory
--------------------------
Women, should they have their way, would like for us men to
believe that they are superior to us and will always run things. To a
certain extent, this is true. If you don't believe that this 'man's
world' is actually a 'woman's world', you haven't swallowed the red
pill yet (refer to 'The Matrix'). Sad but true, this IS their
world...they just let us run it to pacify our enormous egos.
It is important to remember that generally speaking, men are
attracted to hot, fresh ass (the younger, the better), whereas women
are attracted to clout and stability (i.e. 'what can you do for me?').
This simple fact is the basis for all of my previous articles.
Men are basically raised from birth to respect women no matter
what, and that we absolutely have to have pussy. Women, on the other
hand, are pulled aside by our mothers and instructed on how to get a
man. What our mothers and fathers have neglected to tell us, however,
is that while women have their way in the beginning, we win in the
end. This surmises my 'Marquee Value Theory'. Let's begin, shall we?
Let's take two individuals, one male and one female. Both of
them are 19 years old. At 19, a female is the epitome of hot, fresh
ass. She has probably been getting into nightclubs since she was 15,
and gets the crap jocked out of her regularly. All she really has to
worry about is her weight, makeup, and getting raped. Everything else
is gravy. She is at the top of her game.
Conversely, a 19 year old male is at the bottom of the totem
pole. The average male at 19 doesn't have a whole lot to show for
himself. If he's lucky, he might have a car. Chances are he wasn't
going to nightclubs...he was skateboarding and playing video games
(which I still do). He's wondering why all of the women his age are
with older dudes. Also, since the male hormonal rage is at 18, this
naturally makes men hella sympish at this age, bending over backwards
just for a chance to get some drawlz. 19 is not a good time for most
of us. Hell, most of us still live with Momz.
Fast forward a little. Now both people between 25-35. Depending
on the circumstances in their lives, this is generally where the sexes
break even, though in most cases females still have the upper hand.
Why? Because we are stoopid, and usually can't see what I am about to
point out.
The formerly untouchable woman now has a few things to worry
about. Namely, the new models that are coming out (a.k.a broads
younger than her), and that good 'ol biological clock that just a
keeps on tick, tick, tickin' away. Also, if she has had any children
by this time and is not married, this drops her marquee value even
further. Plus, females hormonal rage kicks in at 30, so she will be a
little more aggressive anyway. I assume this is to increase the
chance that the broad will reproduce before it's too late.
The guy on the other hand is moving on up. By now, he has
probably finished college, or is on some sort of career path. He has
a car. He has an apartment or house. He basically has something to
show for himself. He has also been around a little bit, and therefore
is a little more worldly wise. This is why older women tend to
gravitate toward younger men, because they are easier to manipulate.
Plus, the 'new models' that are coming out are jocking him tough,
because he is older and more established. Also, since his hormonal
rage has subsided, he is thinking a lot more clearly, and is generally
more worried about taking care of himself and his future plans than
running behind some broad. This, of course, can work a broad into a
frenzy. In other words, he is shaping up to be good 'baby daddy'
material.
This is generally where guys fu*k up. Even though, slowly but
surely, this guy's status in society has gone up, it is usually so
gradual that he doesn't even notice it. This basically means that
even though he has something going for him, he still thinks that the
only way to get a broad is to court her (i.e. run behind that
beeyutch). This is when he should just kick back and watch them run
to HIM. I just wish more guys would figure this out.
Fast forward again. Now both people are in their 40's. This is
where we men start to pull away. You know what they say about a woman
that is 40 and up: She has a better chance of getting attacked by a
terrorist than getting married. Or how about this one: A woman's
beauty is gone with the first gray hair. Ever wonder why more women
undergo plastic surgery than men? To compete with the younger models
that men at their age (in this case, 40 or so) can get almost
effortlessly. There really isn't a lot to say here.
Men, on the other hand, are having a field day. First of all,
men are in control of the economy. Everyone knows that women
generally make 72 cents to every dollar we make. This adds up quite
nicely. I have three words: Money, Power, Respect. If this guy has
played his cards right, he should be in a very good position by now,
with at least some influence. Do you see Bill Gates getting plastic
surgery to improve his looks? No. How about Sean Connery smoothing
away some wrinkles? No. Why? BECAUSE THEY HAVE MONEY, THAT'S WHY.
That's what women jock. When you look good, women will look at you.
When you look good AND have money, women will throw themselves at you.
Actually, you don't even have to look good.
As far as 50+ goes, I only have one word to say: Viagra. The
advent of this little blue pill has guaranteed us men that we can have
sex until we die. Couple that with the fact that we can reproduce
until we die and that's quite the one-two punch. Women? Nope, no
viagra for broads. All we have to do is stay healthy, successful, and
have a jar full of little blue pills by the bed and we will be set.
For women around this age, except for those that are extremely well
off(consult environmental factors), their game is over.
In conclusion, all we men need is a little patience. Sure, you
can get what you want now if you want to work for it, but why not work
on yourself, bide your time, then watch broads work on getting with
you? Simple in concept, trying in execution, as this train of thought
is far from the norm and hard for the average guy to swallow. Then
again, not everyone decides to take the red pill, because some people
just can't handle the truth.

So how do you explain the 1 million+ dating website posts that say, "oh, and no guys over 30! Sorry, but I don't want to date my dad!"

What a gold digger. I would totally steer clear of that crap.
Is that all relationships are about these days according to women? Finding the sugar daddy?

Apparently she responded. It sounds like she used a thesaurus and got an economist to try to write something up because it certainly isn't in the same style as the original.

To the gentleman who called me a depreciating asset
Date: 2007-10-11, 8:23AM EDT
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.
