Trophy wife - will this happen to you?
"Cooper said some of the most impoverished-but-wealthy bankers are those with trophy wives. “You’ll get these guys who turn up at work with the girlfriends they’ve had since university, and then suddenly – once they start making a lot of money – they’ll ditch the old university educated girlfriend and find a much more glamorous and good looking woman that they’ve found through work,” she said. Predictably, Cooper said such wives are high maintenance, expecting expensive handbags, expensive shoes, houses in the right areas, expensive education for their children, jewels, nannies and help. “There are lots of lovely men in the City who’ve been with their wives since they were paupers,” said Cooper. “But there are also some who get trapped in relationships where the deal is that they have to earn a lot of money.”"

Will this happen to you?
I have to admit, some women in the industry really know how to slut it up. High heels, thick make up, tight clothes. It is quite hard not to get tempted. :(
marry a personality, fuck a body. both mature, in different directions.
The idea of being married to someone because she is attractive is the stupidest idea on earth. She will only get uglier. A smart woman will only get smarter.
If this is a problem, just set yourself up w/ a girl whos got a fat trust fund. Bam. Problem solved.
This. Does she also have to fat as well or does that not apply here?
Only fat I care about is in the booty area.
They've got a Wall Street Wives page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wall-Street-Wives/200259270006298
LOL. Hasn't been updated in almost 2 years.
what about a trophy girlfriend?
Hot wife/prenup/spend thrift trust/dozens of off shore accounts making thousands of transactions in different languages = BRING ON THE GOLD DIGGERS!!!

Trophy Wife (Ashburn, VA)
Date: 2012-04-15, 12:34PM EDT Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?] Wanted: Trophy Wife. . .
I am looking to fill an immediate opening in my home, as soon as possible. The position will be demanding, but the perks of the job will absolutely outweigh the stresses of the day. Any applicants must be willing to perform a few simple day to day tasks. . .
First is to wake up every day in my arms. And even after we wake to lay there and enjoy that feeling of love and happiness. Before the kids bust through the doors, before the stress of the day even has a chance to make an appearance. . . just lay. After I am able to tear myself from your arms, you have an option: either enjoy a fine cup of loose leaf tea in bed, or by the fireplace. After. . . you make it through the tea, we get the kids ready for school, as a team. Pack lunches and snacks, get them dressed, breakfast as a family, and then off to catch the bus. At this point, I'll be off for the day for another day at the office. . . but I will never rush off without holding you in my arms as if it were the last time. . . and just when I am about to let go, hold you for a little longer.
At this point in the day, you have some flexibility. . . you could spend some time catching up on the book you are trying to finish. Or head straight to the gym, in the brand new company car (our your choosing of course). This may include, but is certainly not limited to, any number of Zumba/Yoga/Crossfit/etc classes desired. All membership fees and workout clothes will be included as part of your compensation package. After the gym, please make full use of the whirlpool tub to relax. Or, if you don't feel like the gym that day, head straight to the mall for some shopping or a pedicure or to get you hair done. . . all on the company credit card.
I hope your work environment will be suitable, as you will have your own corner office, with which you can fully focus on your writing career. Whether you are tinkering with a new concept, or putting the finishing touches on another masterpiece, this will be an ideal space with which to focus.
In the afternoon, you will have to pickup my son from preschool and perform an extremely important task. Have fun. Play in the playroom, take him to the park, play on the swing set, watch a movie with him. . . But be sure to save some of that energy for when my daughter gets off the bus. . .. And then the fun just continues. . . until I return home from the office. At this point I expect to be fully bombarded by my kids. . . dual hug style, knocking me to the floor, hands still full from just coming in the door. Once I regain my composure though, please be ready, because 8 hours of not being able to be by your side will be unbearable and my only thought in that moment will be to kiss you like it was our first and last kiss.
We'll take turns cooking dinner. . . and often will prepare the meal together. We'll eat as a family and listen to each other tell the stories of their days. After dinner, we'll spend time with the kids together. Playing board games, doing homework, practicing instruments, singing songs, doing artwork, reading stories, going for bike rides. . .. After getting the kids off to bed, please be prepared to receive a massage by the fireplace, while the stresses and noises of the day go quiet.
Other perks, in no particular order: surprise picnics, weekend getaways, nights out for movies/dinners/concerts/etc, my singing you songs and leaving you notes, unbounded support for you writing career, boots. . . lots and and lots of boots. . . A true partner, in every sense of the word. . . in life, parenthood, friendship, and love. Finally, it will be my job to create a life with you. . . completely and utterly consumed by both passion and love.

Wow, great find.
Lost me right there.
haha... might have to homepage this later tonight
I read the whole thing waiting for the joke.
I bet this is something Flake would write.
I would never write such garbage, sir.
The question is, "How did you stumble upon this?"
You lookin' for that special someone?
Lol no. Friends of mine circulated it ;)
So Vicky, I assume you're going to apply
heck yes I'm working on my essay right now.

[quote=Flake]www.hahgay.com[/quote]
What a find
I don't know about you guys, but this sounds legit... I'm on it!
I'll report back with the results.
She shuold be compensated and additional 100k for living in Ashburn, VA.
change "trophy wife" to "trophy husband" and "we'll take turns cooking dinner" to "I'll cook and all you have to do is heat up some Bob Evans Mac and Cheese in the microwave" and i'd 100% apply
Dude, theres gotta be a catch. Requirements: Blonde, C Cups, 5'7, No Baggage, Blue Eyes, Tight Ass, Tone Arms and is smart, has a sense of humor, loves football, understand men need to work, and enjoys dropping by the office for some afternoon delight ;)
this isn't so bad. just a creative way of saying: "i'm a wealthy guy looking for an attractive woman who will be a stay-at-home wife and mother."
I'll do it
Lol... if it were a Trophy Husband, I'd sign up on three conditions. First, screw taking turns cooking dinner, I'd love to cook dinner 4-5 nights a week. Then again, I like to cook and find it a great way to relax. Second, I would want space for two pet projects. The first is a Wood Shop because I would rather build furniture than go to the mall and shop. The second, and more important, is a place where I can brew beer. Buying beer be damned, this is just a personal project and I want to use the office space to start up a business. Third, and most importantly, as long as there's a man cave that I can devote to the pursuit of sports and cinema and use to indoctrinate the kids with a lifelong love of College Football, Hockey and film, I'm down.
This guy sounds lonely and fucking desperate...good luck marrying Jason Voorhees bitches
GWTF, you know I don't think he sounds as lonely and desperate as you make him out to be. I think there is an honest and heartfelt sense of longing on his part and it's somewhat nice to see. Personally, I find the flourishes and the approach to be quite nice and refreshing against a backdrop of pseudo-male machismo we typically see. This guy's a romantic and I'm glad he sticks to his guns. It's unusual and I hope he finds what he's looking for.
What a fag.
This is so Virginia Tech. Clearly he still killling at the office and making bank now.
Trophy Wife & Wollensky?
Heister, seeing as you're worth 50MM+, I think you're in a different boat here since I'm sure you can get a nice trophy wife if you want and be set for life. That said, I don't think it's a man being a pussy if he can't find a way to enjoy life. Personally, if I were married to a woman who made enough to allow me to stay at home, I'd be fine with it. It's not emasculating if you are comfortable with yourself and your own masculinity. That's the key here. You need to be comfortable with yourself and your own masculinity and, to a lesser extent, your own sexuality, in order to be willing to take a role that falls outside the traditional scope of things. If you really have an issue with guys who would be willing to stay at home and raise kids, then your issue is more with the traditional gender roles than anything else. If I were in a trophy husband role, having the time, freedom and bankroll to engage in two passions of mine (building furniture and brewing beer) and potentially build a business on top of it (brewing beer) would be fantastic. Not just that, this would allow me the time to enjoy cooking, and raising my children and teaching them about life. Viewing things from a traditional gender role perspective limits the scope on how people view the world. Open your mind a bit and view things from the other side bro.
This is so fucking gay bro. As men, we hunt, eat and fuck. Let's not get this shit twisted. I respect women and all but I make my own money.
Where do I sign up?
I have way more respect for someone who got wealthy by being a "trophy" husband than by simply inheriting it from family. lmao
I have seen a trophy husband. The most emasculating thing ever when you hear the wife scream in front of her children, I'll kick you ass out of the house. Never marry for money.
And my response didn't offend you? Wow... I'm in good standing then!
UFO, I believe the term is alimony...
Well, for starters, to each his or her own.
Look, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be a stay-at-home dad. It also comes down to whether you can accept moving past your traditional gender roles into a broad-scoped view of parenting and the family life you want to have. I'll be blunt. I want a family and I want to find a nice work/life balance that allows me to help raise my children. If I am the primary breadwinner, then I work around my schedule in order to make sure I have time for my family. If I marry a woman who can provide for the family in such a way that she's making significantly more than me, it allows me to care for my children and pursue a few passions I have, then I can handle it because I am comfortable enough to handle it. The sad part is that I can't even fathom how many marriages are broken because the husband is a workaholic without any time for his family or the case of children who don't see their father because he's always working. As I said, your ability to view things outside of the box in a nontraditional sense comes down to how comfortable you are with your own masculinity, sexuality and ability to not conform to traditional labels. If you firmly believe in conformist gender roles, then go for it. Me, I'll stick with my point of view whether you like it or not.
"moving past traditional gender roles" is bullshit man. There is someshit that is built in our system, that we can't get past or overcome. I refuse to believe that it is normal to accept the fact that your wife brings home the bread while you tiddy-feed the kids, that shit is not "moving past traditional gender roles" its more like you're embracing a lifestyle that goes against the makeup of your DNA.
With that said, I wouldn't care if my wife makes equal or more money than me but I cannot sit on my ass and be the "homemaker". The man in me won't let it happen.
But, yes, to each his own.
Frieds, I respect your hustle but I can't respect a man who doesn't strive to provide for his family. That's been our purpose for milleniums, like it or not that's the part we play.
Frieds gives me the hebrew jeebees.
Flake, its because I can make a good argument that causes people to see opposing views that they wouldn't.
Pacman, how is this bullshit? You're just saying it's what we are programmed to do only furthers the stereotype. You say its embracing a lifestyle that goes against your DNA, but you're just giving me rhetoric which follows the traditionalist view of how the breadwinner is supposed to be the man. If you're going to say something is bullshit, at least let it be substantive. Oh, and being a stay at home dad is becoming more common, particularly as a result of the recession. I'm just saying is all...
Whgm, while it has been the traditional view that the male is the primary breadwinner, sometimes you deal the hand your dealt and take it for what its worth. Just put yourself in the position where you lose your job, can't find work and you have a wife who can support you and your family. Would you choose the stay at home dad role despite not being able to work or continue a fruitless search for employment? I'm not advocating being a stay-at-home dad over being a working dad. All I'm saying is that if I were in that position, I would be comfortable as the stay-at-home dad.
Why not just work from home? I really don't care if my wife makes more than me but I couldn't live with myself if I wasn't working on some kind of ambition, it's just too ingrained in me and I NEED it. Plus, the second income is always a good backup plan if the primary breadwinner loses their job, I've seen that happen a bunch of times and it's good to have a safety net. Finance would be tough, and lately I've spent a lot of time looking for ways around being chained to an office in NYC: it's cool now, but this shit is going to get fucking OLD at some point. The MDs are rich as hell but I'm just not in love with money enough to sacrifice every other thing. Psychologists, accountants, some doctors and lawyers, business owners, and entrepeneurs can all work from home or have home offices. Working on your own time takes some discipline, but these guys have time for every family thing and friends. Plus, they get more than two weeks a year to have fun on vacation.
The best gig I've come across so far: financial advisor with office at home. I started talking to a guy that clears through another firm (not mine) and he has a pretty sweet life. Dude worked in Asset Management (I think) for years, got fed up, and then just set up shop...he went into it with a well established network and now he's killing it and I mean KILLING IT. He'll be the first to tell you that most PWM don't even know all that much about the markets, they call people like me and we straighten out the pile of capital they bring to the firm. I could do that. People knock PWM here on this site, but it can be really good I do it right.
While we're on the topic: are there any other jobs in finance that you can do remotely or from home? Advisory/coverage/TAS are good for travel, but what about working from home? How is ER?
my brain would atrophy to pulp if I had to stay at home and deal with little snot nosed children
A Real Trophy Wife (Originally Posted: 02/24/2012)
Dear Monkeys,
It’s been a while and a lot has occurred. I’m kinda pissed I didn’t have the chance to chime in on certain topics of the past few months. That said, I don’t know of any other place online where the audience will not have jokes about Sandy Weil and Russian slutbutantes fly straight over their heads.
You see, I really want to talk to you about the housing market and why Valentine’s Day is that once a year furlough for Satan’s furies to emerge from the dirt to torture men's wallets. But…I figured I could just do both in one shot. How far the mighty have fallen when Sandy's old player pad is being bailed out by a Soviet commodity czar. Now, instead of my usual xenophobia I want to articulate is the need for both, watching one’s back and utilizing discrimination as a weapon. Walter Bagehot never thought Lombard Street would become a bazaar and still many among us hold the same delusion about bWall Street. But as the priciest pads of both London and New York have become little more than fuckpads for the sons and daughters of post commie bloc and MENA commodity hoarders, I gotta ask aloud:
Is this the world of power and prestige you guys thought you signed up for?
Wasn’t it supposed to be a breeze down the track? A lil bit of the analyst grind, a rock starred hop to the buyside, bawlzakkin through B-school and an early 30’s entrenchment into the pillars of America’s elite.
Fuck…if this was only a few decades ago, one of you sumbitches could have gone on to become a Soros or a Buffett.
My sarcasm does not preclude the possibility. I’d be willing to bet on one or two of you guys. But as I see more and more of what a whore society we have become, the less likely it seems to me that we shall ever overcome.
What always made America stand out to me was the way that she held to her own. I nearly pissed my pants a few months back at the Etihad watching Manchester City demolish their opposition. The world’s greatest example of open market cash parking was running amok, but few English patriots seemed happy about it. Even some Citeh boys complained that they’d rather be “English nags, than Persian stallions.”
I know that this is the sort of inappropriate and hateful prose I am known for around these parts and that’s fine. I may have been away a while, but learning to give a fuck is not something I have accomplished on my hiatus.
While I watch my country turn into something that would have made Marx, Engels, and Lenin go off on an enchanted circle jerk, the sons and daughters of the Bolsheviks are buying up our prime real estate?
Nah.
Fuck that. Better yet, fuck her.
That's right boys.
I am placing a bounty on the head of Ekaterina Rybolovleva.
All you gotta do is seek, locate, and impregnate…not necessarily in that order.
Being that it has become abundantly clear that a man is not welcome in America unless he is queer, I will offer you guys the best possible future growth value investment advice out there:
Learn to be a proper man whore and then smash your way to smashing success.
If you can’t do that, figure out how to pimp the hard work of generations for the sake of an illusory retention of market value.
At a time when even Fannie and Freddie are starting to see doors closed on them, there's nothing as safe as gold shitting Kate to keep your assets warm.
Can't wait for all the pent up rage from the last few months to come out
She's on facebook. NYU. Class of 2016.
I'll have it done by Tuesday
I am going out to the city tomorrow night, so I 'm beat you to it Jack..
:)
He's back!
Midas, you English?
He's back!
In case anybody doesn't know, this is the chick who is living in the recently-purchased $88MM apartment in NYC (Russian daddy paid) while she is studying at NYU.
Shit I'd tag it.
Welcome back MMM. I 2nd what happy said.
Oh shit. Just in time for Man Week.
You guys better do Man Week 2012..i'll shower you both with my SB's
Horny looking girl, probably wouldn't even bother talking with me since I'm worth approx 1/100000th of her wealth. Fuck you world.
Welcome back Midas. Visiting my buddies in NYU this weekend... Show them how we state school kids get shit done...
