[quote=EmilyHicks]My friend likes to talk about this money (as his own money) and I think it is to make up for his severe underemployment as he is working as a machinist despite having a Master degree. More than half of this money is not even his, it is his father’s retirement money.
So here you have a gorgeous looking girl with supposedly very high income going for a short, average looking guy who is underemployed for the last 7 years. She has no friend. Only one “brother” which my friend met at a restaurant. I told him something doesn’t seem right and he shouldn’t invest in this deal. Hope he is bright enough to see it through.
[quote=outtamojo]What’s he doin’ tellin everybody he’s got $300K cash?[/quote][/quote]
The fact he’s asking you… He’s not trying to get you persuade him. He already made up his mind. He just was hoping you would say something to back him up.
I’m sorry, if it sounds too good to be true it’s too good to be true. It’s not about that she’s a 30yr virgin, or that supposedly that she is pretty.
If she really is so successful, why is the scaping other people’s money? She should have sufficient funds to make her own money. And if she’s so good at it, why would anyone in their right mind want to share their profits with a random stranger that they met for 4 weeks…Hell, if I could hat-trick a few hundred thousand in deals like that, I definitely wouldn’t want to share it with anyone else unless I had too (IE had to borrow it or partner with someone)…Very very very few people do things with money out of the goodness of their hearts. And the fact the broad is asking for an “investment”… it’s obvious.
And this might sound a little harsh. But if all he wants is a fling with a pretty woman and nothing more, perhaps he should just pay for it directly rather than go this long convoluted route… I mean at least the “cost” is explicitly spelled out upfront (and quite frankly a lot cheaper).
And speaking of high income. sure… Madoff and Stanford I’m pretty sure showed they had pretty high incomes too.. This woman probably has her high income from the money she milked from the previous sucker…
Some men + pretty women = dumbasses.
You really want to do your friend a favor…Show him this thread. Because obviously he’s long gone thinking with the head that’s down there instead of the one up there.
