sdlawprofessor write: I'm a professor of law and spent 18 years in the trenches as a business litigator with major law firms. Based on my experience, several comments in this thread seem to me particularly useful: 1. Being a "millionaire" doesn't mean being a big spender or having a lot of money to spend. The big spenders don't remain big spenders for long unless they are exceedingly fortunate. So-called "millionaires" whose money is tied up in highly leveraged real estate have paper profits but little cash and often-punishing mortgage payments, and could be wiped out easily if the real estate "bubble" bursts. 2. "Millionaire" is not synonymous with "manners" or "mindfulness." Lots of crude, rude, and not particularly intelligent people become millionaires. One can be a millionaire due to inheritance, luck, or a good lawyer. 3. Lots of millionaires behave like ordinary folks, dress in an ordinary fashion, and spend their money wisely. It is legendary that Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, didn't even have an office, he occupied a cubicle like everyone else. 4. A gentleman pays for the phone calls, the travel expenses, the dinners, and whatever other costs are involved in developing a relationship. Men on this site who claim to be millionaires but are unwilling to incur these expenses are not worthy of your attention. I realize this is a traditional attitude and is not "politically correct," but gentlemanliness is itself a traditional attitude, and there is value in tradition. Regards to all, Arnie
Well said Arnie, from one law professor to another! It's not just the money, it's the quality of the man.
wwwww is right.it's all in where you live.some of youre power billsalone would pay all my household bills.i built ten years ago it cost me 65000 land inclued .my bills are less than 15% of my income.grant it its 40 miles to walmart but hey

wwww. i love your views, you are so funny, and you are sssooo right, who knows who is a millionaire, it could be the toothless, no english speeking neighbor. to the ball cap wearing blonde in the grocery store?
I believe that this site is for Millionaires "wannabe"s. Tell me why someone who is TRULY a millionaire is here? (men) It is definitely easier for men than women to meet a wealthy person. Whether we women like it or not, there is still a double standard. You men on here should start with being HONEST. We are not all "gold diggers". Introduce yourself for your good qualities, not for your money.
blondeindian write: no females with money on here is kinda right, i have friends on her from my area who are wealthy females. I am not wealthy, but i work everyday and i get by very well, i look rich by the way i carry myself. i am a great person and i would like to see the posts more honest about if you have money or not. i think it is only fair, to everyone. i would post my income, but the point is are you a good person wanting a better life with a kool guy/girl? money will make a difference, only if you let it....
Its always nice to see a honest lady on here,thanks.
I remember a few years back MM would require sometype of financial proof to validate millionaires and certify them as such. I wish they would go back to that format,it would eliminate many of these so-called millionaires,doctors,attorneys,pyschothterapists,poets,ect. I for one would be certified, I only know of a few men on here that would be also, no females.
HI there very new at this....millionaires are entertaining to say the least....I have a few friends not from this site at all but just friends through my travels....and quite honestly the ones that have been borne with money are the nicest the ones that have earned thier money are the cheapest...have no manners and have nothing in common with the ones that were borne millionaires. Look at Donald Trump now he is beyond millionaire I know but his tastes is so taky..that hideous hair....you think he would have hair transplants..plugs what ever they are called...all he is interested in is quoting prices and how valuable one item is or how he acquired it..a true millionaire knows and knows not to be so tastesless.
