Back in 2003 I had a very interesting conversation with a girl I met at a Starbucks in Manhattan (New York City). We talked for hours and I started to get hungry. I offered to pay for soup in this fancy Chinese soup restaurant across the street. Since she was a student at Columbia University, I knew she had no money.
We continued the conversation at the restaurant when she almost immediately said why she picked Columbia University. She told me that she was looking for a rich man to take care of her. I never flinched a muscle and continued to talk to her.
I already knew what a girl means when she says, “take care of me”. It means that she will do absolutely nothing at all for the provisions that she expects from her provider. What it means is she expects that you provide for her every want, need and desire, when, where and how she wants without any reciprocation on her part. If you do not fulfill all of her very unreasonable fantasies as she demands, a scorched-earth divorce is your punishment.
I finished the meal and paid for the bill. We put on our coats and walked out the door. Outside, I shook her hand and wished her well as I started to walk away. Astonished, she asked me why I was not asking for her phone number. I simply said, “I’m not rich, but there are many guys out there that are way more financially gifted than I am.” Then I walked away and never turned back.
