Reason #2: The Park Avenue Princess
理由二、嬌貴女
His perception: You’re looking for a “Perfect 10”: the guy’s who’s a 5 on the looks scale with $5 million in the bank. He thinks you’re high maintenance, superficial, or a gold-digger.
他的感覺:“她要找的是一個完美的男人,既要英俊,又要多金。這個女人貪圖享受、愛慕虛榮、難養活、膚淺,要么就是一個出來釣金龜婿的。”
Your reality:You can take care of yourself. You enjoy spending what you make. Maybe you’re interested in a nice lifestyle, though it’s not your only priority. But he’s jaded by all the gold-diggers he dated before you (you’re guilty until proven innocent). So instead of asking him “What’s your favorite hotel in St. Bart’s?” you should ask “What’s your favorite little neighborhood café?” When the waiter inquires whether you’d like tap or bottled, don’t order the Evian; one glass of city water (almost) never killed anyone! {Tip: squeeze a little lemon in your glass…}
真實的你:你能養活自己,還活得挺好。你能掙,也能花。也許你就是享受優越的生活方式,盡管這種高檔生活并非你的唯一追求。但是他在跟你約會之前,已經被那些為了錢而與男人交往的女人糾纏得疲憊不堪,很怕你也是這種人(沒辦法,在你證明自己“不是”之前,他就是這樣認為的)。所以,在談話的時候,別問他“你在圣巴特島(世界頂級奢華度假勝地)度假的時候,喜歡住哪家酒店?”不如打聽一下“附近的咖啡屋哪個好一點?”當侍者問你要喝什么水的時候,別點依云(法國天然礦泉水)了,喝杯自來水毒不死人的(小竅門:往里面擠一點檸檬汁味道就好多了)。
