More importantly, will Ryan Gosling learn to love my belly if I recite Nietzsche to him by heart?
It's nice to know that even those of us without the physique of Heidi Klum can still find ourselves someone special if we make sure our other attributes are on the up and up. It's no mystery that wealthy men, despite how conventionally imperfect their bodies may be, can score themselves a hot, and frankly, out of their physical league, girlfriend or wife.

A new study shows that married men have more money than bachelors. Why?
According to a new study by the Pew Research Center, married men are leading richer lives. Literally. Here's the breakdown: the median household income for married men has gone up by 60 percent since 1970, while the income for single men has only shot up by 16 percent. The trade-off for succumbing to a life limited to one sexual partner for the rest of one's life? Maybe. Though Pew has several other, more logical explanations.
Hey you (heirs), Avril Lavigne wants to be your girlfriend.
Correct us if we're wrong, but didn't Avril Lavigne build her pop-punk empire upon the stones of anti-preppy angst?
So what is this we hear about her recent hook ups with sleazy oil heir Brandon Davis and heir to Dole Food Company, Justin Murdock—both most assuredly the epitome of prepster privilege and arrogance?
Why one mom sets up young girls with rich older men, and believes it can help you find love.
Simone Dadoun-Cohen is an entrepreneur, former exotic dancer, wife, mother of three, and pot-stirrer. Her website, EstablishedMen.com, seems recession-proof, as it counts over 250,000 affluent men and beautiful young women among its members. One of the only "Sugar Daddy" sites with a female at the helm, Established Men was recently profiled on Nightline, which posed the question as to whether Dadoun-Cohen is a thinly veiled pimp of sorts.
You haven't lived until you've bagged, er, "had a fling" with these guys.
While a life of bed hopping isn’t something to, uh, aspire to necessarily, but casual dalliances, like youth, won't be at your disposal forever. So you might as well slip on those proverbial heels and squeeze out the most unique shape you can, while you still can. So for god sakes try to spice it up a bit. Here's a list of five guys you should fling it with before taking the plunge. And if you've already plowed your way through all of these? Bravo! The foreign guy, the bartender, the guy in the band you just watched, the really super successful guy and the guy you'd never ever be into.
Money's role in your relationship may be greater than you realize.
"All you need is love." That's what the Beatles said, and it remains a pretty tempting. It doesn't matter how rich your husband is, right? If you love someone it doesn't matter if he's a jobless pauper—you'll make it work, somehow. Well, the Beatles didn't live through the recession of the late aughts—and some of today's women are realizing that their relationships are more dependent on money than they once believed.
When you hear the term "breadwinner," you're likely to think "father" or "male." But the New York Times' Modern Love essay this week is penned by a former-female-breadwinner, who later scrapped breadwinning entirely for a more egalitarian - and less romantic - set-up.
The author, Karen Karbo, reveled in a whirlwind romance with a Frenchman around whom she never opened her purse once. Then he showed up at her apartment, caught her 'unaware' in unattractive sweatpants, and informed her that he expected her to look pretty for him all the time. Quite rightly, she dumped Monsier Jerkface.
In successive relationships, Karbo found herself in the position as breadwinner quite accidentally. The first husband chased his dreams while Karbo held a steady job; the second husband quit his job on a whim and became a househusband, but spent all day playing video games while she kept the family in milk and cookies. When she divorced him, he tried to shake her down for alimony, child support and the house. The third relationship seems to have been the charm: each half of the couple pays his or her own way.
