Further confirmation of what really counts in this purported playground for wealth and beauty is this statement: "Members may search profiles and add favorites. Attractive members may initiate contact with other Wealthy members. Wealthy members may initiate contact with all Attractive and Wealthy members" [their emphasis]. Offhand, I'm not putting this service down. I try to be open-minded and non-judgmental--cast the first stone, etc. Heck, I might put up my profile and end up being featured in one of these silly adverts as well:
SCENE: (I am seated on a leather sofa with an 85-year old grandmother, my "lover," whose right hand I am holding and who I am looking at with heartfelt longing.)
"I used to be a PhD student when I figured that I was way too sexy to be a mere schoolteacher. Through SeekingMillionaire, I was able to find the charming, goddess-like blue-haired woman of my wildest dreams who was also filthy, stinking rich because her arms dealer husband kicked the bucket. If you are sexy, why be a petty bourgeois academic when you can be a full-blown burgeois oppressor of the masses?"
