A Different Type of Hustle.. [NY Mag]
Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are? heading to fancy bars/restaurants to land rich mates? Sounds way too easy and blatant?
The Grand Havana Room is good, if you can get past the doorman. The Oak Room at the Plaza is the easiest game in town; just go early in the week, like on a Tuesday night, because later it fills up with tourists and C.P.A.’s from New Jersey. Wednesdays, Jean Georges draws an affluent after-work crowd; a girl who knows what she’s doing can easily get a free dinner along with her drinks. In fact, if you’re looking for a man who likes to visibly spread it around, pretty much all of the Vongerichten properties are a good bet, though if you prefer a long-term arrangement with a wealthy, mature gentleman, you’ll want to concentrate on the uptown ones, such as the bar at the aptly named Mark Hotel, on 77th Street and Madison Avenue. And of course there are circuit standbys like the Peninsula rooftop, where, on a recent balmy weeknight, Diane Passage is sitting at a table holding court with, as she had indicated by text message, several “v. handsome men.”...
Passage is one of those people that it feels like New York invented, though they thrive wherever male egos and dumb money coexist. She’s the kind of woman who is able, through physical charms, nifty tricks of persuasion, and sheer gall, to inspire men to pay for … well, everything. ”

I wouldn't say it's a bad thing. Men like easy and blatant pick up lounges/clubs. I think women get more freaked out by that concept than men. In NYC it's insanely easy as a woman with a great face and bod to meet Wall Streeters and other stoopid rich guys. They're everywhere. I've dated a few stock brokers without doing more than chit chatting at a restaurant while having dinner alone. I looked at one boyfriend's check and my jaw nearly dropped off. It doesn't phase them. They just roll up on you. I've even met a number of celebs not by being a super model but just by hanging out at my normal spots having fun with friends. They just live there like anybody else. So yeah, it's it's easy but you can still meet relationship material guys who happen to have money.
