Finding true love can be pretty tough for a lot of people,
but a female management supervisor from a fairly well-known San Francisco
advertising agency seems to think money helps. According to a leaked email, she
is offering $10,000 to any of her friends who can introduce her to Mr. Right.
The unnamed husband seeker who sent out the email obtained
by Agency Spy had just finished reading the best-selling feminist book “Lean
In” by Facebook’s COO Sheryl Sandberg. It was 11 PM on a Sunday night and she
realized this was the second self-help book she had read in month, she was
still single and she had just sprinkled dish soap on leftover pizza so she
wouldn’t eat two more slices.Things were not looking well, but there was hope
for her still. If Sandberg’s book had taught her anything it was that she
needed take a more proactive role in finding love. After all, if she wanted to
get a better job, she wouldn’t just sit in the lobby of an employer’s building
and wait for someone to offer it to her, so why should finding a husband be any
different. But instead of going out and meeting new people she decided to write
an email to all her friends, offering to give them $10,000 on her wedding day
if any of them manage to introduce her to her future husband.
“I’m writing you today because I’ve decided to make an
aggressive action plan on finding that one fella that I get to hang out with
forever,” the woman writes in her email. “And I’ve recognized two things that
are important to this plan: (1) a great percentage of marriages are the result
of introductions by friends and (2) most people do not give a lot of thought
about introducing one of their single friends to another one of their single
friends. I get it. Introducing me to my husband is just not high on your to-do
list. But I think I have an idea that might change that…” You guessed it, this
is where she offers to reward her “closest friends” with cold hard cash.
“I will personally give ten thousand dollars to the friend
who introduces me to my husband.
Here is how the referral program works:
Step 1: You set me up on a date with a man
Step 2: I marry that man
Step 3: I give you $10,000 on my wedding day
I know you’re thinking that this is nuts. Just plain crazy.
“[Redacted], you can find a husband without dishing out $10,000.” Well for
starters, thank you – I’m flattered. And secondly, I totally agree. But the
reality is finding a husband always costs money. I just collected 1,000 insider
points from Sephora and this isn’t because I buy beauty products to impress my
4-year old nephew.”
Agency Spy has redacted the email author’s name because they
“don’t want to add insult to injury if this idea backfires”, but says its
sources claim she is “dead serious” and that she’s “already gotten 100
potential dates”.
Offering to pay your friends a sizable reward to get a
husband seems a bit wrong, but you have to admire this woman’s honesty and her
go-all-out attitude, right?
