Older Gals With Means Try to Get Into Young Dudes' Jeans

013108mamaboy.jpgJeremy Abelson, founder of the luxury lifestyle newsletter Pocket Change, struck a publicity goldmine last February when his company sponsored a speed dating event that matched affluent men of any age with attractive young women of any I.Q. Called “Natural Selection Speed Date: Rich Guys & Hot Girls,” the event drew hate mail from women objecting to the crass, misogynistic nature of this “exercise in eugenics.”

So this year Abelson is turning the beat around with “Natural Selection Speed Date II: Sugar Mamas & Boy Toys.” Female applicants were vetted solely by wealth, men solely by appearance. Set to take place at Manhattan's 230 Fifth club on February 7th, this speed dating night comes with a mission statement, grandiosely titled “The Fourth Wave of Feminism”:

Symbiosis has allowed ugly rich men to attract young, gorgeous, money-hungry women for centuries; it's now the women's turn. For all of the leopard-print attire and decades of alimony you have amassed in your divorces, we know that there is still a void within you that even an unattractive David Yurman necklace can not fulfill.
Twenty women over the age of 35 will be there on February 7th to rob the cradle; each lady earns at least $500,000 a year or has at least $4 million in liquid assets, entrusted assets or divorce settlement. Sound attractive, fellas? Well, you’re too late – 5,000 eager young bucks got the jump on you, bro. The herd’s been thinned to a pool of twenty tools with photos torn straight out of an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog. And just who are these women of a certain age?

It's unclear how anonymous the "sugar mammas" were supposed to remain, but the website shows their age, assets and has even saved the photographs with their names attached.

You can see photos of all the moneyed mamas and tantalizing toys, leave snide comments and vote for your favorites; winners will get dinner at Per Se and you’ll get the comfort of knowing that no matter how bad your dating life gets, you'll never be that desperate. Right?

Douchefest '08!!! What's gross for the gander is gross for the goose, but if it makes them happy, more power to them... I'd think you'd have to be a real troll if you need to advertise for a boytoy, though. Knew from the title that this was a JDS post. Blech.

Oh come on this happens anyway! They arent that bad lookin actually haha.

This is too cool!! I know many guys that would love to have a sugar mama.

And for the ladies, why the hell not!! Sometimes you need a little dessert with your main course.

Cheers ladies!

Man i wish I was hot enough to nab a sugga-momma.

no more internships for me!

Benjamin: For god's sake, Mrs. Robinson. Here we are. You got me into your house. You give me a drink. You... put on music. Now you start opening up your personal life to me and tell me your husband won't be home for hours.
Mrs. Robinson: So?
Benjamin: Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me.
Mrs. Robinson: [laughs]
Benjamin: Aren't you?

Mrs. Robinson: Benjamin, I am *not* trying to seduce you.
Benjamin: I know that, but *please*, Mrs. Robinson, this is difficult...
Mrs. Robinson: Would you like me to seduce you?
Benjamin: What?
Mrs. Robinson: Is that what you're trying to tell me?
Benjamin: I'm going home now. I apologize for what I said. I hope you can forget it, but I'm going home right now.

This is absolutely brilliant! You go ladies!

Is that Kirk Cameron circa 1987?

What's in it for the guys? Is there any guarantee they're going to walk away from this with anything besides stains on their underwear from all the lube these ladies are carrying around in their handbags?

Anyway, chicks do get pretty horny as they age. I used to work in a restaurant and a lot of those cougars would go right ahead and put their tips directly into my front pocket, sometimes while I was still pouring them coffee.

All I wanna ask is...Guys, do you really want old balls?
