Money, Dating, Marriage

Opinion and commentary on dating and marriage by the well-to-do and wealthy:

Rich People Have Dating Problems:

But why is it that money and dating go hand in hand? Yesterday, a reader sent us a post from Craigslist written by a "spectacularly beautiful" woman who is looking for men making $500,000 or more. The post has since been deleted, but you can see it below one of the many responses it prompted. She may have been honest about her search, but she was ridiculed and lashes out at her detractors, "the reality is in New York there is only so much of the 'pie' and I didn't understand why plain or dumpy women are getting away with all the pieces." What ever happened to making your own cash and being satisfied -- and proud -- of your own accomplishments? Has nothing changed in the last fifty years? Because a woman once said, "Don't you know that a rich man is like a pretty girl? You don't marry her just because she's pretty. But, my goodness, doesn't it help?" Yeah, that was Marilyn Monroe, in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes... 1953.
