This one is for all our readers, as we know only hot babes and rich guys read Gothamist. If you are not busy on February 7th, you may want to sign up for the "Natural Selection Speed Date" Rich Guys and Hot Girls". Guys, you'll have to submit a detailed financial statement, including salary ($200K minimum if you're under 25, more if you're older), investment capital, and trust fund money. Ladies, money is not an issue as long as you're hot. Five photos is all you need to submit, and your entry fee of $50 is waived if you are particulary hot, the Post reports.
This exercise in eugenics is being organized by Jeremy Abelson, to promote Pocket Change, his "high-end lifestyle" newsletter. According to Abelson, "Guys like hot girls... Girls like rich guys... Why not bring the upper crust of society together?" So far more than 300 men and 300 women have applied for the forty positions each. An application is on the Pocket Change website, where you will learn that "This genetic cleansing is how the wealthy stay beautiful."
Despite the obvious popularity of the event, Abelson has surprisingly received hate mail calling the speed dating crass and tasteless. New York magazine is listed as a co-sponsor, though it's unclear whether they are, or if Abelson just took out an ad in their classifieds.
Hot, unwealthy guys and unattractive, wealthy women fear not! Plans are in the works for a sugar mama speed date.

Ha ha, hilarious. I actually received a notice about this thing, which cracked me up because I'm not even close to being rich. The Pocket Change newsletter is fun for reading about $4,000 omelettes, but c'mon... this is a bit much.
If Abelson were smooshed by an MTA bus, the world would be a better place.
Over $200k per year if you are under 25? I obviously made a mistake somewhere in my life.

LOL!!!!! squish..
Sounds good to me...everyone who signs up for it gets what they deserve. Ugly, rich guys get stupid, vapid hos, and hos get rich, ugly, and most likely personality-free guys. Hot skanks meet stupid rich guys, and produce ugly, stupid offspring: this is how Paris Hilton was created.
"Over $200k per year if you are under 25? I obviously made a mistake somewhere in my life."
You must have missed all the news about Wall Street bonuses.
"Ugly, rich guys get stupid, vapid hos, and hos get rich, ugly, and most likely personality-free guys."
So this event isn't much different than the regular New York club scene...
I live around the corner from this place. I am walking over after its done with 40 cards and handing them as they leave.
