Wealth is key for marriage, study claims

Someone please tell me… where are these guys getting their material?

Believe me, you cannot make up something like this!

This article pretty much calls every woman a gold digging whore.

Let me explain…

The conclusion of this article is that women are drawn to men of wealth, status and power. I guess that means all the other guys are sh*t out of luck.

It is ridiculous but still, the newspapers have to print out clap trap like this to sell newsprint.

Whatever!

Have a merry Xmas and happy New Year!!!

When You Realize You’re In A Gothic Romance…

When You Realize You’re In A Gothic Romance…When you realize you’re in a gothic romance, it’s time to make a break for it. I don’t mean meant that if you are a Goth or are dating a Goth, then you’re in a bad relationship. I’m really not talking about that particular sub-culture at all. I mean, if you’re in a relationship that, when you tell your friends about it, sounds like you’re reporting the plot of a gothic romance novel, it’s time to cut your losses and get back on the dating personals.

You might just think I’m being overly protective of my friend or that I’m exaggerating wildly, but I swear that, sometimes, things really do get that weird. I’m not usually one to stick my nose in my friends business when it’s not asked for, but this time my buddy really has to think about letting the girl go.

I might be using the term gothic fiction a little too loosely. I mean, I’m sure there are no actual vampires or werewolves involved. Something is really weird though. My friend seems to be under some kind of mind control. He’s taking crap in ways I never thought would happen with this guy. He’s smart, thoughtful, kind and confident. So not only does he do very little that anyone can complain about, but he doesn’t take random criticism to heart, nor does he usually let people treat him badly for no reason.

These days, though, he seems exhausted, miserable and full of self doubt, all of which seems to be related to his current girlfriend. They knew each other for a while before they started dating and she always seemed really nice, but now it’s really disturbing to watch the two of them together.

My friend denies it, I think because he really cares for her, but she always seems to be hiding something. Every once in a while I’ve been catching a lie in the things she tells me, but it’s more than just that. She seems paranoid about the most absurd things. I really can’t get into too many examples, but I seriously wonder if she’s losing it. Worse still, my friend seems to be slowly getting sucked into the craziness with her.

It really feels like a gothic romance novel in the sense that something just feels really off, but I can’t put my figure on exactly what it is. Still, I’m pretty sure it’s time for my friend to start dating other people.

How To Demonstrate That You Are A Wealthy MaleMore and more people are choosing to look for love on wealthy dating sites, but how many of the people on those sites are, in fact, wealthy? If you’re trying to demonstrate your financial success, then it’ll take a little more than some numbers and your word to make you look credible. A wealthy male that is trying prove himself would do well to come up with some classy demonstrations of his status.

I don’t have a lot of money, but I like to think that if I were rich enough to back up my imagination, then I’d have a lot of material for dazzling displays of affection. How could you fail with a line like, “I’m really enjoying this conversation… would you like to continue it in Italy?” Another good one would be, “so you enjoy sailing? Would you like to spend your holiday on a 70-foot schooner?” I mean, come on, who would say “no” to questions like that? Fist they’d laugh because they though you were joking, and then they’d say, “I’d love to.”

There would be a lot of benefits to that kind of financial liberty. Creating a great first impression online is all very well and good, but it’s even better if you can strike up a conversation with someone living on the other side of the country and still be able to ask them out for a causal lunch. Come to think of it, the whole first impression thing would get a lot easier very quickly. You’d have to convince people that you’re not joking with them and that you aren’t crazy, but apart from that it would be pretty easy to get a second chance with someone if you can offer them all kinds of exciting experiences in your company.

Now, of course, I’m being a bit fanciful. I don’t mean to joke, because there are a lot of good reasons to get into wealthy dating that don’t really involve material concerns. I’m just enjoying the though of being able to cast myself as a wealthy male who can do dazzling things. I got the idea in my head when I read on the BBC News website that they are auctioning off a section of stairs from the Eiffel Tower. The expect the bidding to start around $44,000, and the piece weighs over 700kg, so I imagine shipping and handling would be on the costly side. I don’t know if it would be the best of all perfect first date gifts, it might be a bit over-the-top, but just imagine the look on woman’s face when you invite her over to you apartment and walk her up the stairs of the Eiffel Tower. Now that, my friends, would be classy.

A Lovely Chinese Angel

A Lovely Chinese Angel
I have a friend who is a great guy, but for some reason he has not been able to find a compatible mate. He’s a wonderful man, generous to a fault, owns his own business and is someone I’m proud to call a friend. I guess he’s not exactly the best-looking guy, but there’s no way I’d call him ugly either. A while ago, he got fed up with being lonely and tried a mail order brides website. That’s how he met his Chinese angel.

Of course, I knew that there were Chinese mail order brides, but I’d never known anyone who’d actually used one of these sites to find one. My friend was determined to find someone to spend his life with and so he started out by looking at some of the postings on the site. He contacted a few women before he met the gal who would eventually become his wife.

Somehow, he knew right away that she was the girl for him. She’s a real Asian beauty, with beautiful eyes and a winning smile. They communicated with each other through email for several months, making sure to get to know each other as well as possible under the circumstances. A few times they spoke on the phone and eventually my friend decided to hop on a plane and go visit her.

It was love at first sight all over again as he stepped off the plane and saw her waiting for him in the terminal. They spent a lovely month together. He toured around China with his Chinese angel and spent some time with her family. Except for the three month period that he waited for her after he came back, they’ve not been apart since.

Today, my friend continues to be successful and he’s got himself a lovely little family as well. They must have been trying right away, because it wasn’t long at all after they got married that their first child was born. Half a year later, she’s pregnant again and my friend couldn’t be happier. I’m definitely envious of his good luck and his Chinese angel.

Missing That Touch Of Romance?I live in a big city, I got out a lot, I even check out dating personals sites, but my life could still use a little touch of romance. It’s not that I don’t meet a lot of cool girls, it’s just that there always seems to be something missing. I guess these things happen to everyone, but I’m still worried I’m being too picky or that I’m just really bad at connecting with people.

I think maybe it has something to do with getting turned down a little while ago by someone I met that I really liked. It shouldn’t be a big deal and I don’t usually take this kind of thing badly, but for some strange reason, for the past while, I just haven’t felt myself.

Maybe the problem was that the reasons didn’t really make sense. This gal just finished university and moved back home because she found work there and I think that’s the only reason she didn’t want to pursue anything. It’s not like I’m dying for a long distance love affair, but I think it would be worth all the difficulties. Especially since she’s still looking for work in the city and will probably find something before long.

I suppose my timing could’ve been better, but what was I supposed to do? I mean, obviously, I shouldn’t have waited so long to speak up. The thing is that we’d known each other for a while, but I don’t think either of us realized how close we’d become until the prospect of being apart made it so evident.

Anyway, what’s done is done and it probably wasn’t meant to be. I just need to shake this feeling like I’ve missed out on something and then maybe I’ll feel that touch of romance with the next woman I meet.

I think that as soon as I can stop thinking about this relationship that didn’t quite get started, everything will be back to normal. I think a lot of us imagine that the things we can’t have would be some kind of perfect ideal. It’s good to have dreams, but not at the expense of robbing everything else of the slightest touch of romance.
