Sugar Mamas and Boy Toys: Cast Your Vote

Jeremy Abelson on the speed-dating event

The plot from The Graduate might become a reality for some young men in New York City tonight. Fifteen wealthy women over 35 and 15 hot young guys are set up for a speed-dating event. To qualify, the women had to make more than $500,000 a year or have $4 million in liquid assets. The guys just had to be nice to look at and under 35 years old.

The "Sugar Mama and Boy Toy" event is being organized by Jeremy Abelson of pocketchangenyc.com.

On their website, you can click through the listings of the real-life "cougar" women and pretty boys and vote on your favorites. Names are not disclosed, but pictures are included -- and in the case of the women, you get a financial snapshot. If for no other reason, browse for the comments.

To a 37-year old blond woman with $15,000,000 in entrusted assets, one man jokingly writes:

38. Commented by George Costanza on 2/6/2008 I'm bald. Have no job. And I live with my parents. Cawwwwl me!

Or a message to a 65-year-old with $10,422,000 in liquid assets:

I AM SUNDAY ADEBOLA 28,
YOU LOOK VERY BEATIFUL AND NICE EVEN AT YOUR AGE , I CAN MAKE YOU LOOK YOUNGER BY GIVING YOU HAPPINESS

Gals, you can vote on your favorite boy toy until 7pm EST tonight. I don't know about you, but those big muscles scare me.
