Craigslist Experiment (claiming I'm rich)

[Inc. ©]

I posted an ad on craigslist a few days ago describing myself as tall, rich, and handsome. I didn't lie about being young (in my early 20s). I didn't lie about being tall and handsome either hehe. But, I'm not exactly rich. Anyhow, I have used craigslist before and posted some pretty good honest ads where I was confident in my looks and my direction in life, and what not. I would hardly get responses. I've been able to meet people responding to ads, but there is way too much for women to sort through and respond to your ad.

Well this time was quite different. I've gotten 4 responses and the girls are quite good looking. They weren't shy about sending pics either. They claim not to be gold diggers, but just intrigued by me or something like that. They say they are motivated to get rich themselves, I dunno, it varies what they say, but they don't out and say they want money. I'm very good at detecting fakers online. Their responses seem genuine and the pics aren't modeling pics (some have sent multiple pics). So it really does seem there are some hot women actually interested in this rich guy, but of course when I'm just smart and handsome they wouldn't respond.

I want to go forward with this. Like I said, I've met some women off craigslist before so this isn't unfamiliar territory to me, but how do I go with the lie. I'm not talking about necessarily getting with these women, but just as an experiment. Do I admit I lied after I met? Do I say "rich" is a very subjective term? Do I just pretend I'm rich (without spending the money of course)?

Your thoughts?

You say that being good looking and that you have a stable future got no ads, but the addition of money...causes 4 replies?

Tread lightly, and DO NOT SPEND MONEY YOU DO NOT HAVE TO!!!!!!

Treat them normally, don't show the fake money you had, and don't be cheap.

If they start asking about the money...tell them that you aren't rich rich. Their reaction tells a priceless fortune.

Hey Docs,

thanks for the tips. Keep in mind I'm not really trying to start anything with these girls. I'm more interested in stringing this rich thing along without spending the money of course. The psychology of this just interests me for some reason.

Enjoy your fun.

A very worthwhile experiment in my opinion. Plus if they truly aren't gold diggers like they claim, they won't mind if you aren't rich afterall. Take it as far as you can and let us know how it goes!

Sounds fantastic, please report back to us to give us a glimpse how golddiggers work!

Another hot chick e-mailed me with multiple pics. One of them is hinting at seeing a movie tonight which I'm thinking of doing. How you guys think I should play it? Act like I'm rich when she asks? Or tell her the truth?

If these girls claim they arent gold diggers then they are. The fact they brought it up without even talking about anything, something is up.

Rich

I make up a story about owning a nightclub. I won't answer if they say, "o you must be rich". I've only really tried this a few times, and it has seemed to increase the frequency of very attractive women making out with me. Of course, I've made out with plenty that knew the exact truth about me.

Owning a nightclub works well, because it's believable, cool, and shows that you at least have ambition and capital.

They won't ask, if they do just get upset with her that she is only after your money and tell her to leave.

If when she see's your stuff she starts to ask why you don't have the means she thought you did then you can worry about the other things, then there are plenty of lies, or simply tell the truth.

Maybe you can say that while you are "rich" that is a subjective term and your really just starting out but have alot of real estate and stock market assets. I can live poorly now while I am working on making my life better.

Or you can say that your parents wanted to make sure that you learned to live on your own before they let you put that silver spoon in your mouth.

Anyways I probably wouldn't go that route if I wanted something serious, but hey, any girl stupid enough to reply to someone who writes that they are rich in their craigslist ad deserves what they get.

One thing I've noticed about my rich friends is that they NEVER splash around money. Ironically, they're probably the least generous of my friends. So you actually don't have to prove it to convince people you're rich.

But Comote makes some good suggestions!

Here's what I suggest:

Go out with these girls and treat them exactly how you would any other girl. Don't mention money at all. Basically just pretend you had met them using your normal ad and not the one that said you were rich.

See how long it takes for THEM to bring up the topic of money, and we'll find out whether they're golddiggers or not.

A poster has already done this....2 years ago. He said that he was the president of this company.

There is some sort of answering service that will pose as a company for you. They will even transfer you to a HR Department.

He then booked a room at the Waldorf in NYC for 'date night'. From what I recall he got over on some very good looking chicks.

I think he was doing this with Yahoo personals.

oh, the tangled web we weave....

"any girl stupid enough to reply to someone who writes that they are rich in their craigslist ad deserves what they get."


Hahahahahahahah!!! Right on!

If the question of your "wealth" ever comes up, just tell them it's in a trust fund and you can't touch it for two more years.

Or, if you don't like that, tell them you recently had to drop $50,000 as a deposit on a new business you're buying, and as soon as it closes escrow, your finances will "improve." Surely any ***** can understand the wisdom in temporary sacrifices for a better future. If she's smart, she'll stick around. What happens after six months? Hopefully by then she will like you for who you really are, you won't need the crutch of wealth.

Despite what many of these seduction guru's say, looks and money DO matter.

Can you get HB's without looks and money?

Yes, but it's a lot harder to do so.

If they ask just tell them you meant Rich as in Rich in joy and happiness.

I re-read my ad and realize I claimed to have a private jet...whoops, haha.

Tell her you just got your weekly allowance of $100, and you're rich!

Or tell her now that you have a job at McDonald's instead of working on the farm, you're RICH (hey everything is subjective right).
