It sounds like bad dating advice from a magazine my mother would've read. I think that most people do want someone who is financially successful, which could indicate that they are also successful in other aspects of life as well, but it can't be the primary quality you see in another person, because money can't hold two people together. I want my partner to have money in as much as I want to have a successful career and acquire my little bit of wealth :) I wouldn't hold them to a standard beyond what I feel I could do myself. However, when it comes down to it, it's all just happenstance. Maybe the love of your life will be a wildy handsome and wealthy man, but maybe he won't love you back. Maybe he'll love you, but you can't love him. Maybe you'll fall in love with a school teacher. Who knows? Who cares? Seek happiness, and no monetary dischord can do much to impede on what you've worked and earned for yourself. A happy life. I'm 23 and a staff accountant, and maybe I'll earn "a lot" of money one day, maybe I won't, but above all I want happiness and freedom, not the oppressive presence of a "rich guy" I managed to snag and hitch myself to for life.

Dont get hit by this bug. At the end of the day it is love and companionship which matters most rather than the big bucks. Be sensible and make the right choices in your life. Why would she arrange such a meeting if she is happy with a millionaire.......dont you guys get it she is also making money and her focus is nothing else. Trying to sell such cheap concepts shows that she is not happy with her domestic life!! This woman is leading everyone into temptation!!! Dont get hit by this bug.

I have a hard time believing the 50 proposals now. This is mean, but in line with her logic. Perhaps Ms. Lisa Johnson Mandell was "the prize" (her #1 rule) when she was younger.

The beginning of this post states "financially secure"...I think this dating skill doesn't just one-sidedly apply to women who wants money, but who can also be miilionaires themselves not to be scammed by men. And since beautiful women are a "depriciating asset", beautiful women who built their wealth through years of hardwork and youth shall take this advice even more seriously to avoid men who may just go for their money and status.... There's always two-side to a story, please don't assume the women are earning less just because they may want to maintain being "financially secured" and not to be tricked by men...

We're not all flamboyant. I have several million in assets but I certainly don't act like I've got a lot. I don't drive an expensive car, I don't have a fancy house. Everything is tied up in investments. I'm a small business owner. So before you go out looking for that wonderful guy with all the toys, look across the street at your neighbor. They might just look like me. Being a "millionaire" only requires that you have "one million" in any form (cash or investments) minus debt.

It comes in all shades but in its deepest shade is simply called prostitution. There is of course a thin line between a person who wants an expensive meal and bottle of champagne before they sleep with you, and someone who simply calls themselves a prostitute. Unfortunately, in both cases, it will not help find love or a successful relationship - and anyone who spends any time focussing on these sorts of things in life deserves to get used themselves short and quickly - no doubt for the only thing they possess which has any value - which in a few seconds of useful lust will also fast depreciate.
