With reality shows like Joe Millionaire and The Millionaire Matchmaker and the surge of online dating sites dedicated to millionaires, the whole concept of online dating for the wealthy is gaining notice. Even Forbes recently ran an article on the subject.
And why not, really. There’s online dating specific for religious and cultural groups, dating with STDs, long-distance dating and so on. I suppose the wealthy deserve to be wealthier if they choose, so yeah, why not.
Here a few of the millionaire dating sites highlighted by Forbes:

My handbag.
My Golden Goddess Satchel –you know the heavy one that hurts my back but I love anyway–well it seems to be causing relationship trouble for me lately. It started two weeks ago when on the lightrail (Denver’s mass transit). I was standing there, hanging on to the bar with one hand and holding my book with the other. Meanwhile my cutie-doodie Satchel was neatly hanging from my shoulder. Right where it was supposed to be.
Well the problem comes into play because my boyfriend was having his snack–a granola bar. Strangely he has this very strong need to not touch or be touched while eating. Yeah, I know.
Anyhow, without even realizing it my bag was brushing up against his side. Not just for a moment but apparently for a full two stops. The fact that I didn’t notice (I was reading my favorite Eat, Pray, Love) only made matters worse.
He took the wrapper of the granola bar, which still contained all those little loose pieces of granola that are always there at the end of that snack, and shoved it into the front pocket of my bag. So now, I’ve been traveling around with a granola filled Satchel.
Revenge is on its way.
We are all frustrated by the same dating patterns we’ve all got. You ask yourself, why do I end up dating the same guy always? Every boyfriend reminds me of my dad, why? The guy with the really spiky hair is the only type that approaches me, how come?
You date the same type of guy because you continue to be the same type of person. If you don’t want to date a jerk, then you need to discover whatever it is about you that attracts them and then change it.
Now don’t get me wrong, sometimes people are just big, huge jerks. But we’re talking about you; we’re not talking about them. To stop your jerk-dating pattern, here are three steps you need to follow.
First Step: Ask a Friend
If more than once you’ve dated the same type of loser, go to your most honest friend and ask why they think that is. Really listen to what they tell you.
Be Single: Second Step
For awhile you need to decide to be single. You are truly single during this time so date yourself. Get to know what it is that makes you and learn what makes you tick. Think about what you need to be happy and what it is you’re really looking for. Figure it out and once you do, write it down, keep it in your bag, and read it every day.
Third Step: Dating the Antithesis
Do yourself a favor and date someone that is nothing like your ex, when you are ready. So seek someone that is different; get a taste for what is out there. You might be surprised to find that you connect with all kinds of people-even if you don’t think they’re your “type.”
With time and self-reflection you won’t date anymore jerks. Like all challenges we face, the first step is admitting you have a problem.
Many single sites ask about your income, but leave it optional to answer. On the one hand I think the income question is irrelevant because you could probably figure it out on your own by just by punching in their job title on salary.com. But then on the other hand, it could let you know that you and your potential BF are on level playing ground, if that is important to you. What do you think? Any theories on this subject?
