I was browsing around match.com this weekend. Now, they send you a "daily 5" of guys the site thinks you may be interested in. Based on what? I have no idea.

Anyway, one of the profiles they sent me was for a 46 year old doctor. His profile photo was of the guy behind the wheel of his Ferrari. The second photo was of the outside of his house (HUGE mansion, lit up like in a real estate magazine or something), other photos featured the guy in front of a swanky hotel in Mexico, and of him lounging by the pool at some fancy schmancy resort.

My first reaction when I saw the photos was to roll my eyes and laugh. I mean, come on. I suppose money beats poverty but puh-leez don't throw it in my face thinking it's going to impress me. I got the feeling looking at his profile, that he advertises the fact that he's rich to try to compensate for having the personality of a dead fish.

thoughts?

Doctors are boring. Exactly why I didn't become one, despite pressure from my Dad when I was a teenager

Just think of them when you fall sick, and get your insurance papers up and running Hopefully, the kemosabe's in your provider network, LMAO.

People who tell you about their money are bores. People who are sharing and enjoy their money and good times are fun.

Rarely will you know about the wealth of Fun people and good friends.

That would be my first thought as well...
Show off his goods, but yet he`s still single!

Yuck. Can he do anything besides spend money? I'd rather see the photo of him volunteering his time on a mission in some poor country, or him and his office staff...or him and his chocolate lab... What was his specialty anyway, docs don't make that kind of money anymore, unless they're in plastics or some other cash biz. Unless he's shady.

Again, yuck. A woman who marries for money earns every penny.

Definitely! He's probably one of those Sleeping With the Enemy types.

I don't like such profiles, either. Nothing's wrong with having money, but I also think their owners don't have much else to show.

The guy is trying to buy his next woman and probably is lacking in what it takes to be a good man.

Many of my good friends are very successful, with tons of money and you would never know it. Any man who attracts a woman with money usually gives a big settlement when he divorces.

We know a guy who's been married 8 times. He attracts beautiful women with his money. It's a control thing for him and after 2 years he writes them a big check, dumps the wife and marries the mistress.

The women like the big check for 2-3 years of being a well paid escort. Not bad work if you can get it.

"Woman looking for man with big house. Send photo of big house."

I know what you mean... I once saw a guy's profile which featured pictures of a fancy car and a swimming pool. It turns out he sold the cars for a living and whilst the pool was on the grounds of the place where he was living, the property was owned by a friend. Sheesh.

Don't forget those profile pictures where the guy is holding up a big fish. "Hey girls! If you play your cards right, the thing on the end of the hook could be you."
