Reason #2: The Park Avenue Princess
理由二、娇贵女
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.
他的感觉:“她要找的是一个完美的男人,既要英俊,又要多金。这个女人贪图享受、爱慕虚荣、难养活、肤浅,要么就是一个出来钓金龟婿的。”
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…}
真实的你:你能养活自己,还活得挺好。你能挣,也能花。也许你就是享受优越的生活方式,尽管这种高档生活并非你的唯一追求。但是他在跟你约会之前,已经被那些为了钱而与男人交往的女人纠缠得疲惫不堪,很怕你也是这种人(没办法,在你证明自己“不是”之前,他就是这样认为的)。所以,在谈话的时候,别问他“你在圣巴特岛(世界顶级奢华度假胜地)度假的时候,喜欢住哪家酒店?”不如打听一下“附近的咖啡屋哪个好一点?”当侍者问你要喝什么水的时候,别点依云(法国天然矿泉水)了,喝杯自来水毒不死人的(小窍门:往里面挤一点柠檬汁味道就好多了)。
