Can Poor Guys Get Hot Women?

This week's letter comes from a guy who believes that the beautiful only date rich men. Is he right?

reader's question

Hey Doc,

I've been reading your columns lately and plan to purchase "The System." I like your no-nonsense approach to women and dating and the fact that you never BS us guys with false hope about how to handle the opposite sex. Please keep telling it like it is.

So I'm going to put it to you straight. I've noticed that the only guys who score the really hot babes in this world are the Donald Trumps, the Hugh Hefners and the Michael Douglases. In other words, the guys so loaded with money they don't even know what to do with it all.

It's actually very discouraging. It's like the guy with no money has zilch chance of getting and keeping a "10." And what's worse is that if you happen to find and succeed in dating a Beautiful Woman, she's history the minute some rich, overly successful or famous dude looks twice at her. And I'm not exaggerating. It's happened to me more than once.

how can poor guys get women?

So my question to you is this: What can a guy with no budget like myself offer a girl, really? Does a guy's financial portfolio play the biggest part in maintaining a relationship? Let's face it, Doc, when do you ever see a woman like Melania Trump with a construction worker or a librarian?

I hate to think this way, Doc, but isn't it true that all Beautiful Women are Mercenaries? I don't like to paint a completely pessimistic picture of what it's like out there, but that's how I see it.

do all women want money?

What are women really looking for in a guy? Most guys I know are attracted to the Angelina Jolies and the Bo Dereks, but wouldn't we be better off scaling down our expectations and going for the Plain Janes when we don't have big-time money?

Or is there something we can do to romance a beauty that doesn't cost and arm and a leg, and will keep her Interest Level high?

I'm really curious to hear what you have to say about this, Doc.

Hi Channing,

Let me tell you something. I'm the only love doctor out there who tells the truth when it comes to women, and I'm the only love doctor out there who has all the right answers. My job is to help men, not BS them. My job is to keep you in touch with reality.
