wealthymen.com Not covered in previous "dating sites" thread. I just heard the ad on the radio. Wish I could post that, too. It's even better than the site.

I heard the ad on the radio too. Lets just say the female voice-over artist made no attempt to sound posh.

Eh, $100k+ a year isn't wealthy. Admittedly it depends on where you are, but most places it's comfortable. Also you'd think such men wouldn't need to resort such public antics. Money should be able to buy some privacy after all.

Shut up nixerman - I am finally wealthy, dammit.

Also - I am debating about sending that link to a woman in my office who has openly stated that she's only interested in investment banker types.

Search for Southern zip codes; somehow, the pictures of men with camo trucking caps, taken inside a trailer home, give a false impression of their megawealth.

Wow. Gross.

This shows that anyone can become wealthy by not spending money foolishly on grooming, new clothing (get thee to the Goodwill store), anything but a disposible camera, or wasting money on bandwidth to download a cracked copy of Photoshop.

I love how this site reinforces every sterotype out there. Why not just say, "Men looking for concubines and courtesans, will pay room and board."

$100k a year can be poverty, depending on your situation. I make that much but, after taxes, child support, student loans, etc., I know 22 year olds that have more money than me... :(

And P.S., I know millionaires that drive pickups and wear camo.

I wouldn't be so judgmental, if I were some of you.

Is this real, or is it just another www.coincidencedesign.com? (no longer active, I believe...)

For this thing to work, they simply need to charge a high entrence fee. I mean, how are women going to know if a guy is really rich or just B.Sing.

If getting into Ivy League school is genetic...maybe wealth is, too. RichGenes?

Nope (although that'd work too) -- to "verify" your user account you have to upload your tax returns, give 'em your accountant's phone number, upload a scan of your passport, etc.

Seems like a great way to both phish sensitive info and establish a high-end spam list -- why didn't I think of this??

Wealthy Men is the one and only online personals dating site dedicated to those men seeking a higher quality online dating experience.

Because, of course, the more money you have, the better quality you are.
