User post: How to Date a Rich Man

Do you repeatedly pick romantic partners who are total losers?  Maybe you're sick of boyfriends who live off of you without so much as a thank-you.  Perhaps you wonder why you can’t find a man who will pay his share – let alone pay your way.

If you're ready for a whole new dating experience (aka dating a rich guy!), check out this advice from  modern day courtesan – and published author – Veronica Monet.

Think of dating as a good sales technique. "We don’t like to think something as crass as “sales” has anything to do with love, dating or marriage; but it does," says Monet, author of Sex Secrets of Escorts – Tips from a Pro. "We all use sales techniques while we are dating. We just don’t talk about it in those terms. But let’s be honest: you don’t show up for a first date smelling of body odor and looking like you haven’t engaged in any personal grooming for a few months."

Don’t take advantage of him. "Although some men have inherited their wealth, the vast majority of them worked very hard for what they have and (except in some rare instances) they didn’t get rich by being stupid," she says. "If you under-estimate your wealthy man and try to take advantage of him, you will wind up being the sucker – NOT him."

Let your “dating personality” shine!  “Rather than think of it as a fake version of yourself or some sort of acting job, envision your dating personality as the best you,” says Monet. “It’s who you really are when you aren’t angry, tired, lonely, sad or bored – a more playful and flirtatious you!”

So, here’s the million (er . . . let’s make that a billion) dollar question: why on earth would a wealthy man want to date you?  If you haven’t thought about that question, then you're not ready for the big time.

Monet gives three specific reasons a rich guy would want to date you in 3 Tips for Dating a Wealthy Man. Her tips aren't about beauty, style, or shape -- they're about who you are as a woman. I love her tips because they can help you achieve all types of life goals!
