Let’s Cut to the Chase
If you are male and rich or female and hot, you too can apply to get in a speed dating event to be held on February 7 in Manhattan. In an exaggerated twist on “How to Marry a Millionaire” and with a tipped hat to Darwin, “Natural Selection” could be coming to your town.
An article on ABCNews.com The criteria are stiff. Not only must guys pay $500 and women only $30, but also:
A man hoping to snag the woman of his dreams will be judged by pretty stiff criteria. Guys who are 25 and under must make at least $200,000 a year, and men between the ages of 26 and 30 have to bring home $300,000 a year. Over 30? The required income level jumps to $500,000.
Not gainfully employed? No problem. Men who have at least $1 million in invested assets or a $4 million trust fund can apply.
“The man could be worth $2 billion, be 83 years old, and can attend,” said Abelson, who added that men must show proof of earnings or savings to apply.
Ladies, there is only one guideline: beauty. Five photos are all that’s needed to enter the competition. Education, profession, personality and income will not be considered.
Over 150 men and 300 women have already applied for the 40 or so slots.
Using another scale, Calgary, Ontario, women who like tall men will have their chance: On Valentine’s Day FastLife will sponsor a speed dating event where all the men have to be over 6 feet tall.
