Wealthy And Educated Does Not Always Come In The Same Sentence
The legendary couturier Valentino once said, "the number of millionaires in their 30s is frightening, but very often they don't have good table manners," you have to admit what he said is true. Truth is, it's not just having good table manners. Generally, it's about conducting yourself in a manner people will respect that counts when you're out in the real world. Okay, I may not be a rich boy and I may not have a reality show on MTV. I don't have the funds to buy my honey a Prada bag and I'm pretty sure the best gift I can probably give my girlfriend is dinner, a bouquet of roses and my naked self on a hot date, but she's still with me. Perhaps it's because I show respect towards her parents when we visit for dinner. Or maybe because I always compliment her on her cooking whenever she feels like whipping something up in the kitchen. Unlike her previous boyfriend (who once bought her a Louis Vuitton bag), I always clean the dishes after every meal. Face it ladies, the words wealthy and educated rarely come in the same sentence these days.
There are ladies out there who are interested in wealthy dating because of the gifts they can get when they're with wealthy bachelors. I wouldn't mind splurging for my baby if I did have the cash. Finding a rich guy who is educated is like finding a needle in a haystack these days. Educated may mean knowledgeable and worldly, but an educated person should also display class and possess good manners when dealing with people. I've known wealthy single men who can afford to wear Armani everyday and they remain single because they are foul-mouthed and they don't even know how to open the door for a lady. Wealthy and educated men are often snapped up quickly by women kind of like a pair of Louboutin heels on sale.
The lesson here is if you're looking for love then try to expand your range. Don't just focus on dating the rich because of the Gucci purses you'll get and do it instead for love. You need someone to treat you right more than you need someone to pay for your spa treatments and if he shows respect to everyone then you'll have no problems bringing him home to mom. I got to meet my girlfriend's parents because I showed her that I'm a pretty decent guy and not because I blinded her with flashy bling. It really doesn't matter if he can afford to buy you gifts as long as he loves you. To the rich guys out there, some people may like you for your wealth and power, but a lot will like you better if you treat everyone properly. If you show that you're a nice person then you won't remain single. The wealth is just a bonus.
