My new boss lets me read his copy of the Frankfurter Allgemeine and Neue Zürcher Zeitung newspapers when he's finished with them. This morning, I found the weekend batch on my desk and was idly leafing through them when the NZZ's "Rendez-vous" page caught my eye with black-and-white photos of winsome ladies aged 40+ with pearly teeth, Dynasty-style hairdos and tatooed eyeliner. A whole page of this (otherwise quality) broadsheet is devoted to ads by agencies and individuals offering nothing but rich, educated, gorgeous-looking, successful people who claim to excell in horse-riding, golf and sailing. The language is rife with allusions to the realm of banking and real-estate.
Even if I don't usually read such ads in other pages I'm not naive enough to assume that understatement is what you want to advertise your assets, but those Swiss do seem to pile it on somewhat. I couldn't help but wonder why all those filthy rich and successful gods and goddesses are single. Take "affectionate widow, 59"'
(...) mit herrl. Anwesen an der deutsch-schweiz. Grenze des Bodensees, dunkler Typ. Das ehemal. Mannequin lässt sich nicht verbergen, sie ist heute noch laufstegtauglich...und wünscht sich, um ihre Millionen zu zweit zu genießen/verwalten, einen Herrn, der auch Lust auf Golfen, Ski, Reisen und ein gemütliches Zuhause hat. Gerne bis 75. Der "Blue-Chip" Deines Lebens ist kennenzulernen über:XXXX"
which translates to

(...)with stately home at the German-Swiss banks of Lake Constance, dark type. The fact that she used to model cannot be denied, she is still fit for the catwalk...in order to to enjoy/manage her millions she is looking for a gentleman who should like golf, skiing, travelling and a comfortable home. Up to 75 no problem. Meet the "blue-chip" of your life at:XXXXXX"
Geez, I'm sure some elderly Swiss widower will take pity on the catwalk-queen with her lonely millions. She would only have to look a little further down on the page where she's being advertised to find "Marc" or "Ralf" who'd fit exactly into her target group. Oh. Hold on, they're not looking for women her or even their age. Bummer.
