It may sound crazy or like the plot of some quirky romantic comedy in which a prince pretends to be a shoe cobbler, just to test the true intentions of his bride to be, but it happens: super wealthy men will go through all sorts of schemes to ensure the women they attract aren’t attracted to them just for their money. There are, of course, plenty of men out there who intentionally use their money to get women—but we aren’t talking about them. They are insecure and manipulative. Well, alright, men who run tests to make sure women actually like them for who they are are also a bit insecure and manipulative, but you can’t blame them. When someone is very wealthy, it can be hard for him to trust someone’s true intentions. And it’s not exactly like they can be completely open books about their lifestyles, while still getting a good feel for someone’s intentions. So, believe it or not, I have seen it happen: here are tests men put women through to make sure they aren’t gold diggers.

Lie about what they do

A few very successful men I know lie, at least on the first few dates, about what they do for a living. If they stated the real thing, they know their date would just see money signs, immediately. So, they fudge the title a bit, and keep it vague, until they can figure out the date’s true intentions.
