While "millionaire dating" or "wealthy men" dating sites aren’t every woman’s cup of tea, many females seek exactly this online dating profile. However, wealthy men achieved their status by great effort and are selective when choosing a partner. Sustaining a wealthy date's interest is challenging.
Presentation for Dating a Successful, Wealthy Guy
Being attractive doesn't mean dressing trashily or flaunting sexuality. Show just a little cleavage and wear a hint of seductive scent, but wearing skirts so short that he can see stocking tops may deliver a wrong impression.
Similarly, behaving in an alluringly flirtatious or teasing way is attractive, but overtly sexual behavior may remind him of the strip-joint. Unless a man seeks a casual fling, this will be a deterrent. His quest may be to find a wife, in which case a more cautious and under-stated approach is required.
Don’t Dress Like a Million Dollars
If tonight’s influential date is the CEO of a multi-million dollar conglomerate, the woman shouldn't look like she’s already wearing a million dollars’ worth of embellishments; being well-presented is commendable but a financially secure man would rather make gifts to his partner himself, and not see his woman already leading an ostentatious lifestyle.
An even bigger no-no is going on a date wearing lavish jewelry or gifts presented by a previous partner.
Show Interest Without Being Overwhelmed
A woman showing genuine interest is memorable; nothing's more off-putting than a woman looking over a man’s shoulder at the waiter, or checking her phone every two minutes. Her attention should be focused on her date and she should ask questions showing she's attentive.
Successful men won't want to hear "wow, that's amazing!" when they're speaking. A man may feel his date is overwhelmed by his lifestyle. It's more appropriate to say "I can imagine doing that" or "it would be lovely to try that", giving him the chance to suggest re-meeting, and showing that the woman isn't fazed by his pastimes or social circles.
Appear Bright and Alert
A woman should stay alert and not drink too much. Astute men love women with sharp minds. They meet less intelligent women easily, and encounter many too intimidated by wealth and status to hold real or engaging conversations.
Successful men relish the company of women who can indulge in an exchange of wit and banter, and share intelligent conversation. Know what is happening in current affairs, politics and sport, and be unafraid to start challenging – but never argumentative – conversations.
Never Argue With a Wealthy Date
Bantering playfully with a wealthy date is alluring, but never venture towards hostile disagreement or start jousting for who’s right. A powerful man needs to feel in control; the woman should be just assertive enough for him to realize she's independent, with strong opinions. Successful men don’t want a doormat but also won’t be wanting a fight.
Be Respectful
If during the date a man shares something personal or difficult, say thank you and show respect for shared intimacies.
In the cut-and-thrust of a successful man’s average day, he doesn't meet women who really listen and are empathic; his usual relationships can be more about winning.
The Importance of Being Chilled-Out
A high-achiever needs to feel he’s really on a date and can relax, not back in the boardroom or trying to impress corporate clients. Don’t be demanding. Leave expectations and tantrums at home.
Stay in the present and don't talk about past relationships or disappointments; never show bitterness or negativity towards males. Successful, wealthy men want someone positive and truly ready for another relationship.
Avoid Materialism
There should be other reasons for dating a man, besides his wallet. Enjoy what's on the menu and eat everything served up, but avoid ordering expensive dishes. Don't order champagne but accept graciously if he does so. Never ask how much a man earns or what he's "worth;" this questioning is bad manners.
Above all, remember that an affluent man is just another guy seeking an intimate, sharing relationship like anyone else. Avoiding pretensions and being genuine, real, interested and non-materialistic will help secure his affections.
