Is it worthwhile to jump through hoops for true love? Most people would say no, but a select few choose to take their chances at sites like WealthyMen.com and HotEnough.org. The best get to pick from a prime selection of tycoons or hot babes aplenty. I took two for the single-and-looking team, and came out pretty empty handed.

Wealthy Men boasts "a verified selection of men making more than $100,000 a year." Suuuuuure. Not so. Not even close, I don't think. Men have to go through an arduous process to prove their income, and women are invited to send a copy of their driver's licenses to verify that they are who their pics say they are- no impostor chicks, in other words. That's what they say, but I'm a bit doubtful on both counts.

HotEnough.org, on the other hand, claims that you have to be "an 8 out of 10 to get membership. They put your pic up on the site, wait for 25 members to vote on you, and then you're in or out. After that, you supposedly have to maintain a rating of 8 or higher to keep your dating privileges. The preview pages of the site offer you no looks at any profiles, and the site actually looks pretty low-tech and cheap. I think a halfway bored high schooler could have done a better job with the presentation, but that's my opinion.

My ad for both was simple and fun, and I put up some cute, sexy pics showed my bod off pretty well. I said that I was 24 (hahahaha!), in school (no, not quite yet at the time), and that I was looking for someone strong and kinda Alpha around the edges (thanks, romantic erotica novels!). For HotEnough, I did have to submit a face pic, so I sent in one of my blue denim halter dress shots as well, because I think I look pretty hot in those pics.

I got a response from Wealthy Men first. The guy was not even close to anything that would appeal to me, much less other twentysomethings. But, hey! He makes $200,000 a year. Uh, no.

The only other answer I get is one from a guy with no pic and absolutely nothing to say for himself. This trial was turning out to be a huge bust.

Obviously, I just wasn't hot enough.

Takeaways
  • The selection of men is pretty lame, with an age range from 22 to 65. So, you have rich boys spreading herpes, midlife crisis sufferers cheating on their wives, and old men that really need to use up that black market Viagra that they got just last week.
  • Let's face it: anyone on these sites actually looking for someone who values their minds, not their bodies, is due for a major upset.

I'm a pretty attractive white guy, and I've noticed some of my friends simply aren't attracted to black, Latin, or Asian girls (although others among them are). So if it's mostly attractive white guys deciding if you're hot, there could definitely be a race bias. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Personally, I didn't find most of the girls on that site that appealing, and I'd rate you at least an 8.5... although I date black, Latin, and Asian girls and pretty much avoid white girls (I just find white girls' personalities to be a little flat), so I guess I have my own bias :)
