This recent slew of shows in the vein of Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire, The Bachelor, etc. has hit it right on the money, no pun intended. A chick going after a guy just because he appears successful can be just as disgusting and superficial as a guy going after a chick because she's got big boobs.
Take my friend Jonas for instance. He was an intern at MS these past three summers, but only last summer did he jump from developer to project lead. He's always gone to parties with other interns but this last summer it was different--whenever he would mention he was a project lead, their little ears would prick up and he would have two or three of them asking questions about his position. It was so weird he said that he swore girls off during the next school year. And here's a guy that isn't disillusioned by the ways of the world easily.
Among the culture of the rich and beautiful especially relationships amount to prostitution. Man exchanges money (or symbols which promise it) for sex with attractive girl--what else would you call that?
