In The Arms Of Wealthy Single Men And The Lap Of Luxury
When we were growing up my little sister used to watch Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous where every week she got to see the opulence and extravagance of upper class life. Awed by all that display of wealth and splendor, she had always dreamed of dating wealthy single men who will wine and dine her, shower her with expensive gifts and take her to exotic places. I think if we had access to the internet back then she'd probably be spending a lot of time on wealthy dating sites looking for an affluent good-looking man to sweep her off her feet and take her away to places she's never been.
It's not that I have anything against her dating preference, but I don't like to see her being labeled as a gold-digger and I'm pretty sure that's what's on a lot of people's minds when it comes to women who want to meet a wealthy man. I guess growing up on stories about poor Cinderella ending up living happily ever after with Prince Charming gave my sister the impression that marrying into wealth is the best thing that could happen to a girl.
Finding and meeting wealthy single men can be tough especially if you don't move in the same circles of society, but she did manage to go out with a successfully established businessman and for a time she got a taste of the kind of life she had always wanted. Expensive clothes, jewelry, fine dining, travel…all she had to do was ask.
It was the fulfillment of her lifelong dream, so it came as a big surprise to me when she turned down a marriage proposal. As it turned out, even though she wanted to marry an affluent man, it has to be for the right reasons and not only because of his wealth. She's just not that in love with him and although it's hard to leave a life of luxury that she has become accustomed to, there really are some things money can't buy.
She still hasn't given up her search for Prince Charming and she goes out with wealthy single men from time to time, but her main goal right now is to be successful in her career and be one of those rich single women capping the night with champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

I met my millionaire husband online while I was still married to my first husband. I wasn't looking for "millionaire love" but it found me. We were online friends for years b4 we met in person. The first date we shared confirmed that my heart this whole time was in the right place with the right man, for me. I had NO IDEA that my online friend was a millionaire. I divorced my first husband and plan to move to Chicago where my online friend lives. I have no idea what is going to happen for us next. I wonder if fate will bring us together once again or will I end up with another man in Chicago.
