How to Snag a Rich Boyfriend

There are many things in life women desire: money, fame, riches, a good man – well, why not get all that in one package? The following is a guide to help all you single ladies (and maybe even the not so single) to snag yourselves a rich boyfriend. You are going to have to be willing to lose a few things (let’s begin with a few pounds, shall we?) and sacrifice your time and effort to be able to see this dream come true. Results may vary.

The first thing you’ll have to accept is the universal truth of “in order to make money you have to spend money.” Ladies, nothing can be gained without giving a little something back. Go to your local bookstore and buy yourself some noteworthy magazines such as Mademoiselle, Glamour, and Vogue. These magazines will be your cornerstone into winning that wealthy guy

While at the bookstore make sure you also purchase and encyclopedia or two. Take time to skim or actually read some of the articles within. These can be great conversation starters and will gain the attention you deserve. The more you have to say and the more knowledgeable you are the more your rich guy will be coming back. Looking good isn’t everything ladies, men, surprisingly enough, like having conversations once in a while.

Travel over to any store that sells make-up and other accessories you think you might need. They can vary from hair ornaments to new jewelry. Not everything you buy has to be designer made or very expensive. As long as it makes you look good then that’s all that matters. It’s not as if the man can tell the difference between Mabeline mascara or the Walgreens brand, and if he can, well then he might not be the guy for you. Shop around and make great deals. There are other things you’re going to have to invest your money in.

Buy yourself a few nice outfits. Make sure that they’re eye catching colors too, not just your standard ‘little black dress’. Red is always a must, as it is the most riveting color one can wear. Pink screams teenagers, so avoid at all costs. Match the clothing color with yourself, or see which one you just happen to look really good in. Along with getting a several splendid outfits treat yourself to facials, manicures, and pedicures. You’re welcome to get fake nails applied to your fingers, but it is highly suggested not to. Men often see these as shallow, cheap, and not really sexy. Their afraid that their woman will complain and say she doesn’t want to do something simply because she’s ‘afraid she’ll break a nail.’

Once you have your wardrobe figured out, along with your newly bought jewelry, fresh make-up and cleansed face you are now ready to hit the streets. It’s always good to have some practice in the art of seduction. No man wants to see a woman fluttering her eyelashes, thinking she’s sexy when in reality it looks as if she has something stuck in her eye. Don’t be afraid to use your resources on public transportation. Take the new you onto the bus or train and count how many looks and glances you manage to gather. Try to break your record each day on your way to work or to the store.

Several things you can practice are the classic eyelash fluttering. Never blink your eyes consecutively quickly, it will only make you look as if you have some type of compulsive deficit disorder. Try to catch a guys eye, and slowly close and open your eyes at him. Make sure you’re wearing your new mascara. Don’t blink too slowly, for it will have the opposite effect of sexiness.

A big thing to never forget is to smile. The smile doesn’t always have to show your teeth or have to be very wide. Secret, small smiles are actually the best as it keeps a guy wondering and guessing. A smile also shows a girl’s good-natured side and doesn’t make them only one with a pretty face and nice legs. Other flirting techniques include the puckering of lips (make sure it’s more of a small pout, which is cuter and more innocent), a lift of a dress or skirt to show off those toned legs you managed to acquire after reading all those magazines you bought at the beginning of this regimen, and of course, even men who are stotic and usually show no interest in women will fall for the show of more clevage. Do not think that this something you should do everyday or everywhere. This is just a practice session to see if you are having the right effects on guys and that your assets are being used to their fullest. If you have them flaunt them, right? Do not think to sell yourself. You have more to offer than just long legs, a full chest, and cute lips.

After you are secure in your flirting techniques then it is time to do a little research. Hit a bookstore, library, or just the internet for information on where rich boys tend to hang out. Most sophisticated men (which are the ones you would prefer to meet) can be found in certain high-class clubs or fancy restaurants. Take the time to research the areas, their history, events and menu. Try to frequent these areas until you are comfortable with the menu and have developed a ‘regular’ in at least one club.

Scope out the area immediately for potential boyfriends. If a guy is alone or with friends chances are he is single and might be looking for a potential mate. These are your targets. If the man seems to be with a woman, no matter how ‘just friends’ they seem just assume they’re an item and move on. There’s no point in wasting your energy in a potential catfight or tug-of-war with the other girl.

Take notice of the other women around you. Look at their own techniques they use and take the effectual ones and apply them to yourself (make them better of course), and use them on your prey.

Once you have caught the eye of a possible rich boyfriend go and talk to him. If you have applied at least one of the flirting techniques you practiced and he seemed to respond well then you’re on the right track. Gather up your courage and go talk to the guy. In the conversation include things about the history of the club or restaurant you happen to be in and watch as he is impressed by your extensive knowledge.

Allow the conversation to flow easily and answer his questions as truthfully as you can, for if you end up in a relationship the lies will eventually catch up with you. Sneak in a few random facts you memorized from your encyclopedia and watch again as his eyes brighten by the fact that you aren’t just another pretty face. The random turns in conversation are likely to keep him talking with you and that might just be the break you need to snag yourself that rich boyfriend!
