| enjoy your life? Probably not with this guy -- he'll | | | | one a shot! Hey, you'll have a lovely treat for you |
| demand perfection -- his mother will, too, and yes, | | | | and your girlfriends while you seek out that guy! You |
| she'll definitely come with the package. (Hey, I don't | | | | don't need to cook everything, it's just very useful |

| down-to-earth women who won't blow their budget. | | | | weird to have one in the evening. Say, from 2:00pm - |
| (Go ahead... make all your jokes here...I'll wait! ...) They | | | | 4:00pm on a Sunday. Have each friend you invite |
| are open to friendly women who would make easy | | | | bring another single person. Be sure to include your |
| companions -- fun to talk with who can get down to | | | | 'couple friends', too -- they are great sources for |
| business when they need to -- which is fairly often -- | | | | single folk! At the very least, you might make a new |
| that's how wealth is made and kept! He wants to be | | | | friend or business acquaintance. Sunday works, since |
| married for life, since he is seriously trying to avoid | | | | you're more likely to get into a restaurant if you like |
| losing half of his wealth-to-date in a Divorce.Now, | | | | someone enough to continue the conversation over |
| here's a difference between a Rich Man and a | | | | dinner.7. Speaking of Dinner Out -- this is a very good |
| Wealthy Man...a Rich Man is a fellow with a | | | | sign of what kind of man you're dealing with -- a |
| tremendous amount of money, and often he is | | | | fellow who makes it clear in advance of the meal |
| looking for a 'Trophy Wife'. A Wealthy Man is | | | | that it's his treat is a good guy. Not in a weird way, |
| someone who has worked really hard for his money | | | | though -- if he goes on and on that he's going to |
| and who wants to not only keep it, he wants to | | | | pay, and it's a huuuge deal, forget it. This guy's crazy |
| make sure it grows. The Wealthy Man is looking for a | | | | with his money, and you don't want to date a guy |
| Partner to work along side him in this growth | | | | like this, let alone marry him!) If he wants to share |
| business, and help him keep his life running smoothly, | | | | the tab on the first date, watch out. Don't worry |
| then the whole family is much happier.Remember | | | | about that old thing where everything should be |
| that the Type of Work that a Wealthy Man does | | | | equal or you won't be on equal footing. If you like |
| may not match what is typically thought of as a | | | | him, you can offer to pick up the tab on the next |
| 'monied position'. The old thinking was that only | | | | meal... Just the offer of reciprocation is very indicative |
| Doctors and Lawyers were the ones with money | | | | of your willingness to be equal partners, and that's |
| (this doesn't include Athletes, since they are few and | | | | what he's looking for.Now, of course, if you ask him |
| far between, and we're talking about men you might | | | | out, you should also be prepared to foot the bill. |
| actually come in contact with on any given day..!). | | | | Don't feel like you have to hit the best restaurant in |
| Enterpreneurs, Contractors, Teachers (yes, some | | | | town -- you could have a nice picnic in the Park, or |
| teachers are really, really good money managers, and | | | | have him over to your place for dinner (if you've |
| are able to amass all sorts of wealth!), People in | | | | already had a few dates and you're comfortable with |
| Construction and Real Estate, and let's not forget | | | | this).I actually had a 'blind date' years ago where the |
| Computers! Almost any line of work can lead a | | | | fellow brought a Grocery List and a Recipe for me to |
| person down the Road to Wealth -- it's all about | | | | make dinner for him -- can you believe that?? And to |
| Money Management, not necessarily how much you | | | | think he's still single -- who'da thunk that?! I couldn't |
| make in any given year.Keep an open mind when you | | | | believe it, so I suggested just going out for Chinese, |
| meet a new person to see what they're really all | | | | and guess who paid the bill -- me! I couldn't get rid of |
| about. You'll ensure a better future for yourself if | | | | him fast enough... (just so you know, this guy was no |
| you hook up with a man who has a solid | | | | poor soul -- I was poorer than dirt at the time, but |
| understanding of Wealth Management. A guy with a | | | | he was an Architect and Professor... see how |
| really high salary who spends like a fiend (and NOT | | | | important knowing how they deal with money is? |
| on Real Estate! ha,ha!) in order to APPEAR Wealthy | | | | Being with a man whose wallet squeaks and dust |
| will be more difficult to get ahead with than someone | | | | puffs out when he finally opens it is a nightmare to |
| who earns less but manages his money well.4. Hang | | | | be married to -- he'll control his own and your money |
| out at Boat Shows -- those guys are typically loaded. | | | | for the entire marriage.) And you always thought it |
| They have to be to buy a boat and then actually | | | | was just a little meal!8. Be yourself -- no need to put |
| take it out on the water. If you're lucky enough to | | | | on any airs. That's no fun and you want someone |
| live near water, hang about (not leeringly...) at the | | | | who will love you, not some made-up version of |
| Docks. Who knows who you might run into...? Hey, | | | | yourself. You know you're lots of fun to be around -- |
| Building and Home Shows are great, too -- maybe | | | | let him see that, too!9. Be confident. Know that you |
| you'll get some great ideas while you're there, | | | | are worthy of being with him -- and make sure he is |
| too!Don't forget to pop into shops where the | | | | worthy of being with you. Money isn't everything -- |
| wealthy go -- the Home Improvement Stores, | | | | sometimes it comes with a great big jerk at the end |
| Stationary Supply Stores, the Jean Stores (yes, | | | | of the leash! (Ha, ha! I'm amusing myself, now, with |
| contrary to popular opinion, many wealthy men wear | | | | that dog analogy!) Be extra careful not to get too |
| jeans!) and, of course, the grocery and liquor | | | | swept up in the cars and houses (although, I've been |
| stores!I'm not sure why Bars got such a bad rap -- | | | | known to be swayed by a gorgeous home in the |
| especially Dance Bars and Cool Pubs. They're fun to | | | | past...and currently, too! And a really gorgeous pool |
| hang out at with your friends, and perhaps you'll | | | | could still turn my head! ha,ha!). It's the guy you have |
| meet someone nice. Keep in mind that 'the wealthy' | | | | to live with, so might as well pretend that the other |
| generally didn't start out that way -- you might find a | | | | stuff isn't in the picture and see if you still like him. |
| diamond in the rough!Sports Games are great, too | | | | (Although, truth be told, there's many a man who |
| (small plug -- I'd like to see every Sports Team out | | | | would be all alone if it weren't for their many |
| there with their own Logo on a Buff so when you | | | | attractive 'assets'! ha!)10. Well, ladies, go out there |
| went to games there'd be a whole SEA of Buffs for | | | | and find the man of your dreams! Hey, find two or |
| each side -- if you know someone interested in that, | | | | three! You might need a back-up, just in case! Good |
| for Goodness Sake have them contact me! | | | | Luck!Remember that Wealth can be measured by |
| Pweeeease!) Back to the games -- want a manly | | | | many things -- a Wealth of Possibilities is sometimes |
| man? Check out the local Rugby matches... Love | | | | even more fun in a mate than finding everything |
| Hockey or Basketball? Try to catch the NHL and | | | | ready-made. Then you can then grow in your |
| MBA (whooops! Slight trip of the tongue, there! | | | | Wealth, together. Doesn't that sound like fun? Plus, |
| Although those MBA guys are great, too...) ... Should | | | | Rich to one person might mean being able to pay all |
| be NBA Games, then go meet the Players -- there's | | | | the bills without worrying, and to the next person |
| usually a cool Bar in or nearby the Arena where you | | | | 'Rich' might mean having the biggest Yacht in the |
| could 'mingle'! No gushing, though -- play it calm and | | | | Habour. Make up your own mind about 'How much |
