Why Them? Why You? Why Me?

W HY D ATE A M ILLIONAIRE ?

Some women would laugh and find the answer to this question ridiculously obvious. Others would scorn such a mercenary pursuit. To the latter, I say, dont knock it until you try it, Toots. If you dont know why you should date a millionaire, let me give you five good reasons:

Its fun! The wealthy can provide you with wonderful experiences free of financial worries.

You deserve it! Every woman should have the opportunity to be pampered and spoiled at least a few times in her life. Its out there to be enjoyed. What makes anyone else more deserving than you?

It will give you something to compare. Once youve tasted the cream, you might find you prefer the wholesomeness of skim milk, but you should at least have the opportunity to make a comparison.

The experience can help you grow. New, positive situations can expand your horizons and make you a more content, interesting person.

Youll derive satisfaction from it. I came, I saw, I conquered, yawn. Until you know what you can conquer, youll always wonder what you could have done, what you could have had. Why not try and see?

Now, in all fairness, there are some good reasons not to date a millionaire. They include:

Youll never be accused of golddigging.

Youll be able to stay comfortably within your own perimeters and wont have to venture out.

Youll be able to get by with a smaller and less attractive wardrobe.

You wont have the extra expense of larger insurance policies to cover the expensive gifts youll receive.

You wont have to worry so much about dieting since you wont be taken to nearly as many elegant restaurants.

You wont have to concern yourself with competition from all those greedy, stop-at-nothing bimbos who throw themselves at men with money.

You wont have to hassle with prenuptial agreements should you decide to marry.

There will be no threat of developing a taste for the finer things in life.

Comparing the two lists, Id say you might as well give it a try. You have far more to gain than you have to lose.

There are some who would say, Why be dependent on a man for luxurious experiences? Go out, make your own millions, and provide those luxuries for yourself! Well, Im all for that if you can do it. I personally dont know how. I do know how to convince others to provide things for me, and Im sharing that knowledge with you.

Ive dated myriads of millionaires, and Im not any worse for it. I dont believe Ive been spoiled at all. As a matter of fact, I feel that because I know what its like to attend elaborate balls and banquets, I can now honestly say Im just as content hiking in the mountains. Because I know what its like to receive expensive jewelry from men to whom money is no object, I can be just as grateful to a finance-conscious man who brings me a plant he lovingly grew himself. Because I have dated men on all levels of the economic spectrum, I can better identify the things that are truly valuable to me. Once you start dating millionaires, youll see what I mean. It might surprise you to discover just what exactly is valuable to you. It might not be money, leisure, or prestige. But youll never know until you try them.

N O G UILT A LLOWED

Now, if youre feeling a little guilty just for browsing through these pages, dont worry about it. And dont believe for a second that by actually hunting them down and aiming at them, youll be taking advantage of these poor, defenseless millionaires. My friend, by being an attractive, interesting companion, youll be doing them a great favor!

Put yourself in their shoes. If you wanted to dine in your favorite restaurant then go to a Broadway opening, you certainly wouldnt want to do it alone, would you? Youd be grateful for an intriguing companion, right? I have season symphony tickets and Im delighted when I find someone who enjoys symphony music as much as I do, and someone who behaves himself in public. Im happy to have him come along, and I dont give the cost a second thought. Millionaires are the same way, only on a much more exalted scale. They often do interesting and exciting things, and many frantically search for someone wonderful to accompany them.

This book will give you some expert advice on how to become the wonderful woman a wealthy man would be ecstatic to have at his side. It will help you find a millionaire, captivate him, and maybe even marry him, if thats your desire.

And if thats not your desire, this book can also help you become a more interesting, comfortable, and confident person. Millionaires worth your while generally appreciate quality, and on the following pages, youll learn how to incorporate quality into your very being. Read on. You have nothing to lose, and only excitement to gain.

Y OU A SKED F OR I T

You might be asking yourself, Who is this woman? Who does she think she is? Who died and made her the goddess of propriety? Why does she think shes qualified to tell me how to act? And how does she know so much about millionaires, if shes not one herself? These are very good questions, and I have some very good answers.

To tell you the truth, it was not my idea to write this book in the first place. My friends implored me to do it.

It all started with a phone call from James, who just recently made his first million. Your first lesson is not to overlook these fresh types. James has season NBA tickets on the sixth row, center court. Its a great vantage point for seeing the games, and also for checking out other millionaires.

L.A., he said to me, my secretary asked me what she needs to do to date a rich man, so I decided to call the expert and ask you.

That came as a surprise to me. I realized, of course, that a rather large number of the men I date seem to be economically gifted, but I didnt think anyone else would notice. Expert? I stammered, the word sounded so crass and callous. What makes you think Im an expert?

Look at your roster, he replied. Youre seeing two millionaires at the moment, and over the years, youve dated more than I can count.

Every woman should have a few close male friends. James is one of mine, and, in true millionaire form, he is quite observant of things financial.

Of course I couldnt argue with him. Professional athletes, entertainers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, men of inherited wealththey are all on my list. Youd probably recognize the names of many. But when James added them up and deemed me the expert on dating wealthy men, I was overcome with modesty. I dont think it was false.
