That was humorous. Loved how he handled it. And I was quite pleased to see HER say that most rich men are with average looking women. Seems like maybe rich men are pretty wise after all.

This poor girl. I pity her life, that her hopes and dreams are so wrapped up in status, and her strategies so calculated.

brilliant.

i can't imagine how difficult her life will become when she comes to realize that her perceived "best asset" will indeed fade, and she will watch younger women garner the attention that she once enjoyed. she is in for a very rude awakening.

it's like a birthday gift.

some of us love beautiful wrapping paper, bows, and elegant presentation; but the opportunity to value it is far eclipsed by the actual contents of the package.

I can say that growing old really rocked my world. You wake up one day and realize that you're not the toughest stud on the block that you once were. Social skills become necessary for survival.

The people you grew up with no longer die by violence and accidents, now they die by disease.

You see your own mortality and realize that expiration date is creeping up on you.

Oh my! Once again it goes to prove that greed, self-adoration, covetousness, shallowness are vile, insatiable behaviors. :)

I liked the article but I have doubts that the reply is really from Mr. Dimon (CEO of Chase) who happens to be married to his wife of 30 years.

I wondered as well. I wasn't able to verify the response. However, if the post IS legit, she was asking married men for advice on how they chose their wives, so it wouldn't have been inappropriate for him to answer.

The CEO's response is great but my goodness! I guess one doesn't have to be able to string together coherent sentences in order to earn 500k a year. Check this out for size:

I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income.This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

This is why I choose not to wrap things up in pretty bows
...and eloquent words of pedantic prose :p

typical western female, thinking all about money and material things. too bad she is the norm these days.

I rather enjoyed the CEO response.

:D We marry the person with a soul and mind, who happens to be living in the body, not an empty body, with an empty head.

actually, of the brilliant folks i've had the opportunity to work with, i've noticed almost an inverse relationship between genius and good grammar and structure. THE most cryptic emails i used to get, from one of my bosses in particular, were so bad i would have to read it multiple times to understand what was being stated. no doubt, he was a certified genius with lots of business success. spoke well. but wrote HORRIBLY.

sometimes i think it was just because he valued his time far more than to waste it on cleaning up and proofing his own messages. or that was what his assistant was for. : D

I don't know where you work,
but all the geniuses I've worked with can make a complete sentence.

In all fairness though, people can have genius in different areas.
Like me... I'm a genius at losing my own socks.

Life is as a gust of wind. It's there one moment and gone the next. Beauty and strength fade. Something that she will have to face. Next year she will be older her face a little more worn so on and such. Give me a legacy, that's what I want when I'm old and decrepit.

I LOVED the CEO's reply. I had the pleasure of dealing directly with this smart gentleman through my work. The firm I used to work for does work for his firm and so we got a chance to interact briefly. He's really brilliant or else he wouldn't be at this position making all of this money like he said!!

Poor this shallow girl. What is she gonna do when her beauty fades away. As a matter of fact, I didn't think she's THAT beautiful like how she described herself or thinks of herself. But whatever. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!! So let her be!! Hope she'll choose the option to try to make this 500K herself instead of asking for it on a golden plat and in return for what?? Nothing!! :D

I think it's ironic that if beauty is considered one's worth (from the worldly perspective, not God's perspective), then in many ways it's better to die while you're young and still beautiful, because people don't take kindly to those who lose their beauty, and the loss is almost inevitable.

Marilyn Monroe and James Dean will always be remembered as young and beautiful--would they still be revered today if they had lived out their lives and grown old? I highly doubt it. But if you take someone like Elizabeth Taylor... Not many from the current generations knew how beautiful she was in her heyday (She. Was. Stunning.) All the young people today saw was an old woman in a wheelchair who couldn't buy back her beauty with all the money in the world. It's really sad because I did admire Ms. Taylor for the charity work she was involved in (I'm not saying she's an ideal role model, I'm just saying there was more to her than being a beauty icon.)

If anyone watches the show "Almost Human", try to catch the episode entitled "Beholder". It was phenomenal.

SPOILER: do NOT read any further if you don't want to know the plot twist.

As a summary of the episode, a handsome but seemingly average man becomes obsessed with turning himself into his own vision of perfection via futuristic plastic surgery. A revolutionary method can now reproduce anyone else's features on your own face. The catch? In order to copy that feature, the original owner of the nose, eyes, lips, you want, dies. The man kills 9 people in an attempt to create his perfect face because he's fallen in love with a woman online and is about to meet her.

The catch? He eventually does meet this woman. And guess what? She's blind. (She never told him and he doesn't find out until he meets her) and doesn't care what he looks like--she loves him all the same and would have loved him no matter what he looked like. He instantly realizes that he's killed all those people for nothing.

I wonder whom we all would fall in love with if we couldn't see the face that loved us back. (I'm certainly no exception... looks are as much of a trap for me as for any of us, whether trying to change my own into a "better version" or finding myself reacting to appearances around me.)
