Moderately Hot Chicks turning to Nerdy, Rich Engineers in desperation

I found this article in my local newspaper:

It was supposed to be about how Silicon Valley executives (who are 95% male) often find themselves 40, single and in need of a makeover and someone to hook them up with some available ladies from San Francisco. This is not surprising since: "[there isn't] a single drinking establishment between Palo Alto and San Jose that serves up a better ratio of men to women than Anchorage, Alaska." Many of us know this to be true, and would add that the women in these establishments are either 1) secretaries; or 2) over-40 with kids.

Only problem - the article ends up only talking about one dude (a 44-year-old guy who has gone out with "several dozen" women through a dating service) and a whole bunch of women. Specifically, the woman who runs the dating service gave up on trying to meet rich guys in San Francisco and "cast a wider net" to meet rich guys elsewhere. And here's the guy she met:



Here's another photo of the girl:



Now she's not super hot, but still either he's got a huge donger or a lot of money. And she has clearly gotten desperate - remember, this is how the dude looks eight months after she met him and set out to completely change him so that she isn't embarrassed in front of her friends. He may even have a sweating problem, we don't know.

But what we do know is that there are some girls out there who actually realized that they're not going to get anywhere going after some dirtbag (like our mayor). Now that is surprising!
