"Chinese school teaches women skills to win the hearts of wealthy men"


Well.....at least they're honest about it.

Why would that woman need to make money by teaching such a class if she could marry a billionaire herself.


Her hair style is very unique.

Wealthy men have choice, and they'll choose others before they choose her.

She's doing well for herself doing what she's doing.

But is she the madam or the pimp? Confused

Exactly, it's like, why do fortune tellers ever have to work?

I can't agree with this enough. I really want to go to a fortune teller, punch them in the face and say, "Did you see that coming?". But I'm not the kind of guy to visit a fortune teller.

If you're a billionaire it may not be worth it to marry. Can't remember the person who said this. The original owner who started Maxim I think anyway, he said "...if it flies, floats or f*cks, lease don't buy"

The only problem with this is that they assume rich people are stupid. Do you honestly think rich men will marry average-looking women? Most of the women in the video were actually below average in terms of looks. I've talked to some millionaire Chinese men and they told me their fears of ever getting married to a poor woman and losing their wealth. This is why they opt to marry other rich women that have similar standing in terms of wealth. My gut reaction to this was that it was offensive but when I thought about it, it made a lot of sense.

...just goes to show what women really want.


No harm in that.

Guys, I used to work in a service-oriented job , and several of my clients were rich gold diggers, and they all had one thing in common: They owned a boutique business to keep themselves busy. Some sold what they considered to be fashionable clothes. Others sold things like rubber stamps. The businesses could have been losing money hand over fist, and entirely funded by the rich hubby, but it was their business, and gave them a sense of legitimacy.

Just because a woman married rich doesn't mean she will want to sit at home on her ass, or shop all day. Many of them seek other things to brag about, and having their own store gives them that. It also helps them deal with the psychology behind knowing they are a gold digger, and gives them something to say to people (like, "I own my own business") so they don't whisper, "she's a gold digger!" But that's just a guess on my part.

That makes good sense.

I also agree with "recessiontime" rich men are not stupid, but that doesn't mean they won't go for gold diggers. Most rich people I know like to let others know they are rich... even in an inconspicious way...

If one day all women stopped digging gold, all the billionares will get pissed off...

They say Cleopatra was ugly, but she won Ceasar and Mark Antony.

They say Roxelana was average, but she stole the Sultan of the Ottomans heart.

They say that the Empress that took over the Manchu Dynasty was average, but that Emperor held on to her.

Most powerful men are bored with looks, they want, they need to be charmed by wit and intelligence.

Cleopatra was wicked smart (I believe she spoke eight languages fluently) and probably knew how to flirt. Given her position in life, she could flirt with powerful men and have no fear of retribution.
