CP #1 Jordan: Quaffing Lattes and Discussing the Explicit and Intrinsic Motivations of Gold Diggers

Husain and I met at the Sweet Shop on Jefferson due to an urge to ingest fine cheesecake and imbibe an equally desirable latte. Our conversation was initiated by some venting done by Husain regarding his bad day. He was dismayed when a teacher condemned his above average abilities in class because they were rendering the rest of the class ineffectual due to his natural impulse to desire learn. I expressed my belief that for a teacher to reach out and identify your abilities in this way was a compliment more than an insult. I explained that he gave credence to the fact that you are an exceptional student but you also must allow the rest of the class the means to strive for a greater education. Our conversation naturally sought new bounds by divulging into a conversation about the motivations of a society that is less motivated to aspire to a highly advantageous work ethic and relegate themselves to life a quick fixes and roads paved in gold by appealing to needs of older men. I explained that their was a certain type of person that sees greater opportunity and satisfaction by marrying an older man with a well endowed bank account. I told him that as a former tennis instructor, I was exposed to many "gold diggers and trophy wives". I informed him that they have established a sub-culture that revolved around plastic surgery and overly sexualized innuendos as well as Cadillac Escalades. He was intrigued by this sub-culture and the implication that its growing influence had on young women. Husain was curious about how wide spread this growing epidemic was becoming. As I said they are ubiquitous in many parts of the country particularly Southern California and in more prominence South Florida. While the conversation did develop into talks about the self-esteem issues that would prompt a person to be openly relegated to this role, this diatribe must conclude itself.
